Rustic Mountain Lakefront Cottage

Get away from it all at our rustic mountain lake front cottage on Pine Island Circle. Spacious, wooded and VERY private lot, long circular driveway great for lots of parking and stone path from house to water and a large boat dock. Renovated and updated bathroom. Large boat dock for lounge chairs, tying up three to four boats (with electrical outlet to charge batteries). GREAT fishing spot on Pine Island where many fishing tournaments have been won!
WIFI and Cable TV.
Large wooden deck with built-in seating and 15 foot long picnic table. Adjoining patio has charcoal grill, picnic table and fire pit. We are at the center of a quiet bay which opens into the main channel of Guntersville Lake. Easy access to nearby public launches on either side of property 2 miles away including Waterfront Bay Grocery, Tackle and Launch 2 miles down the street. We are located off Highway 79 between Guntersville and Scottsboro.

Quiet Cozy Cottage

Secluded and peaceful property. Dock had all kinds of little fish biting around it. Wildlife such as birds frogs and turtles were in abundance. Great little cove spot in a big open part of the lake.

Extremely let go

This place has been extremely let go. The yard and woods around the house need cleaned out. The house is a little outdated but not terrible. None of the windows shut correctly. The bathroom was covered in mold. The ceiling was falling out in the bathroom and had major water damage and has caused mold. The walls of the shower were buckled in. Water dripped out of everything so we had bugs all week. The dock had broken boards and looked like the boats in the boat house have sunk.

Peaceful getaway

My first impression was that the place needed a total renovation but once we got settled inside we found a pleasant and cozy home. It could use some updates, but the overall quality of the area and property was well worth the price we paid. Great view and weather which gave us some bald eagle viewings and nice walks.

Short and sweet

Everything's was just as advertised. We enjoyed the rustic cabin and all it's character! It is an older home with some repairs needed but we overlooked that and had a good time. We would recommend and will plan to come back in the future.

Stayed last year. Right on the Lake with a boat dock. Large outdoor area. Patio with firepit. Made use of the hammock. House is a little dated but totally functional. We enjoyed our stay again and our friends loved it too.

Rustic with a view

Stayed a week and the only issue was a little mix up with the door code on arrival. The Owner was quick to handle and all was good. This is an older cottage with lots of charm. The view is wonderful. The fishing was good, had a cold front move through so fish were a little slow but still caught several every day. Sitting out by the firepit at night was so relaxing. Would stay there again for sure. Thank you!

Perfect place for our family Christmas.

I and my youngest son live in St Louis Missouri. My oldest son and grandson live in Boaz Alabama. I rented this house for all of us to spend a few days together at Christmas. It was a great location. The kids played for hours outside. It would be an even better place to stay in the summer time. It was right on the lake. I did have a problem with the shower, but other than that it was perfect. I would definitely come back.

2nd trip

We so enjoyed our second time at this lake front home. The house is older but cozy with plenty of space to spread out. The outside area is spacious and there are wonderful gravity chairs on the deck as well as a fire pit and grill with seating and a swing on the patio. It is a perfect quiet getaway for a couple or a family to enjoy! The host is quick to respond if you have any questions. However, we had no problems at all. We will be returning again for our third visit! Thank you again for sharing your lovely home!

Old but quaint.

The location was great! Home was a little outdated - clean , but a few spider webs in the ceiling corners that could have been removed. Boat dock is really creepy and needs updating, and water is NOT meant for swimming - fishing...yes! We had septic tank problems, but the owner was super quick to reply and get problem resolved!!
