A Pet Mom’s Review

We absolutely loved our stay at this quaint lakeside cottage in Trussville! It was peaceful, beautifully maintained, and had all the cozy touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The lake view was so relaxing, and best of all—it was pet-friendly, which made traveling with our furbabies a breeze. Highly recommend for a quiet getaway or a family trip. We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful and relaxing.

If anything, this property is even better than the photos. Very peaceful and quiet, yet still near the interstate. Very clean with everything you need. I highly recommend.

Absolutely outstanding, I love rustic design and this is one of the best examples I've ever seen. Beautiful interior and very comfortable. Only a quick jaunt from everything and very quiet and peaceful.

Perfect!

Some friends and I rented the cottage for a week long conference and it was absolutely perfect! We had the best time fishing and lounging in the afternoons! It’s close enough to Trussville for convenience but far enough that it didn’t feel like a city.

Hidden Gem

This is a stunning property tucked away perfectly off the beaten path. Once you arrive, you are greeted by Jerry, the wonderful caretaker who walks you through everything you need to know. I couldn't ask for a better experience or location. I will stay here next time I am in town. This is definitely worth the 9-hour drive we made to get there.

A conference and relaxation

I had a 4 day conference to attend and did not want to do the hustle-bustle of a hotel room. I found this gem online and was not disappointed! It was a beautiful retreat that my husband enjoyed while I was away during the day and a place I could unwind after I completed the day. Everything was as pictured and the bed was very comfortable! There were so many unique things to look at in the cabin and peaceful grounds to walk around outside. We had a wonderful time!
