About this property

Serenity Cove-a unique waterfront home with canoe, kayak and fire pit!

  • This 4 bedroom, 2 bath one level home is located in the Wildlife Refuge on a private cove! The lake is your front yard! There are beautiful views from almost every room in the house. This house is located just off highway 72; 8 miles to Scottsboro and 5.6 miles to Goose Pond Colony.

    The house has bedrooms 1 & 2 on one end of the house (bedroom has attached bathroom), and bedroom 3 & 4 are on the other end. The kitchen, dining and den area are all open ( and kind of have a 70s feel with a raised kitchen). *please note - bedroom 2 is semi private ).

    There are floor to ceiling windows across the front of the house that provide for a view that last all day long! There is also a screened porch that spans the length of the house. It’s an ideal spot for taking in the views, relaxing with a book or watching the birds.
    This serene place is ideal for families, fishermen, and a girls weekend.

    There is also a large parking pad to accommodate vehicles and boats!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The property is secluded with a beautiful view. Fishing wasn't that great from the small dock. However, upon arrival the outside trash can was already overflowing so we didn't have anywhere to put our garbage. You have to keep shoes on inside because of carpet tacks or something sharp randomly popping thru the carpet. Most of the bedroom doors wouldn't close. The bathroom door knob wouldn't stay on. We actually left a day early after discovering a rat had chewed thru a cushion on a sofa my son had slept on & underneath the cushions was covered in rat feces.

Peaceful

The house was very clean and well maintained. We absolutely loved the screened porch that stretches almost the full length of the house. The waterfront is a marshy area so the access to the water is limited to a small area but the owner provided canoe and kayak allows guests to get out into the cove. The bedrooms are large and the beds were very comfortable. Guests with mobility issues should be aware that there is a step-up into each of the two bathrooms. It was a quiet area with no close neighbor. We would stay again.

Lovely property, great stay

Serenity Cove is a quiet, comfortable home with all the amenities one would expect. While it isn't the most modern property, it is well appointed and everything works well. We brought a crock pot from home, but to our surprise, there was already one in the kitchen. There were ample dishes, cutlery, and cooking utensils to make our stay easy and homey. The bedrooms rooms are huge! Situated at either end of the house, you have a King and a Queen room, so the house sleeps at least eight adults. Do be aware, both bathrooms are on one end of the house, but it isn't huge, so it didn't present a problem. As someone mentioned in a previous review, there is a step up (about 3-4 inches) into both bathrooms and into the kitchen, so it may not be the most friendly for someone who has mobility challenges. We enjoyed using the gas grill, and brought wood for the fire pit, but didn't use it. A couple of tips, bring a blanket or two if you come in cooler weather, not because the heat doesn't work, but because the beds have thin bedspreads. I like the weight of a heavier quilt or comforter, so I am glad we thought to bring some. There is a basket of throw blankets in the living room, which was nice! Due to the cooler weather we didn't spend much time on the screened in porch, but it was nice and very spacious. Overall, Serenity Cove provided a great space for a chill family holiday gathering.

No time to list all the cool features. The photos say it all, but understate the scale & quality of the overall experience. Bring firewood & topwater gear & get your glamp on. This place is comfy, well-appointed, and the best kind of unique.

The space was clean and comfortable. I had reservations about a previous review which stated property smelled musty. We did not notice any odors. Kitchen is small but functional. We prepared a number of Thanksgiving dishes to take to a family gathering.

Down for a Tournament

Property was very accommodating. Clean with plenty of room. Very close to mink creek and Goose Pond. Parking a little limited if you have multiple boats. But over all good place to stay with beautiful view of small cove.

The the scenery at this place was beautiful, but as soon as you open the door, the smell would knock you down. It’s not something that can be cleaned up it. It’s in the carpet. It’s in the furniture. It’s terrible. The dog was on top of land. it wasn’t over water. You can’t fish from the dock. The grass is too high. The house needs to be updated and cleaned up. It’s not habitable for women and children maybe fisherman who don’t mind the smell but I wouldn’t recommend. The host Tony was gracious and tried to come out and help us with the smell. He did a little cleaning left some air freshener, but it didn’t touch it. I will say he did give us a partial refund on our rental, but it’s still did not negate the fact that our stay was ruined due to the smell and cleanliness of the house.

I have nothing but great things to say! We traveled 14 & had to find this last min on our way down due to another issue. This was available and I feel like this happened for a reason! This place is welcoming, sits right off a cove, plenty of space! Instructions are clear, communication was very easy. This home is older, but it’s okay, we were very impressed. They do start you out with TP, paper towels, & trash bags, but you will need to bring your own! There is wifi, it works well, 3 ROKU tv’s. The fans in the house work great! The covered porch was by far our favorite, it did rain a little, but we still got to sit outside and just relax. I would say the only “down side” is the water pressure is not the best.. however, we are avid campers and our camper water pressure isn’t great either. For the area of the home, I wouldn’t expect it to be 100% perfect, I also have very long hair so it just took a little longer to wash, which is why I would consider it to be a down side! Otherwise, 10/10! We are impressed and will likely be returning for our next adventure to Alabama! Prev reviews mentioned rats, I DONT agree with that, there was no evidence. I have kids who walk BAREFOOT and they had no issue with tacks from carpet at all! Musty smell? You’re sitting right next to the lake.. I’m not sure what anyone expects being so close to constant moisture! It was perfectly fine! Great job guys, we really enjoyed it!! :) drive to Guntersville was easy as well, no complaints!
