It was a wonderful place for our 2023 Family Reunion. Sam was a wonderful host who ensured that we had an exceptional time!

Our 3 generation family of 11 had a great time spending a long weekend at this house. It's very conveniently located to restaurants, Publix, boat rentals, & other amenities on a quiet cove. The pool was lovely! I thought I'd share a few clarifications about the property that weren't clear from the listing. The property sleeps 12 unless people sleep on sofas. There are 2 queen bedrooms upstairs that share a Jack & Jill bathroom, a large king bedroom & a double bedroom both with their own bathrooms on the main floor, a king size bedroom with its own bathroom that is located on the lower level near the pool (enter through an exterior door - not through the house), & a small sleeping loft on the top floor with 2 twin mattresses. If you are over 5 feet tall, this is a challenging sleeping space because of the angle of the roof. There is an additional half bath on the main floor & a full bath in the basement. There is a toilet in the bath house & an outdoor shower, but not sure if they are operable. The driveway is very steep & can accomodate 4 cars if you park one at the top of the driveway. There is a steep ramp to the front door and uneven stones. Additionally, to access the boat house/lake from the house you have to descend a lot of stairs & then go down a steep bank. I share this in case you have anyone with mobility issues or a stroller. While the listing says "We now have pontoon boats" you have to rent them, but the location is nearby and you can keep them overnight.

Loved the property. Did find some broken items, post on upper deck, tiles around master toilet, coffee carafe with hole in bottom. Sam understood said would repair the post next day. Did not see him entire time. Tried to find out where to put garbage he did not respond to text. That being said, we enjoyed the property. It is an older property with wear but so perfect for our family. Between the pool and the lake, lots of activities for the kids, and the views were beautiful!!

Our family had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful, spacious lake house. It was perfect for our family, huge home with many decks and porches. We absolutely loved the pool and deck with a swing! We will be coming back next year! The owner made the process so easy!

There were a couple of issues when we arrived but the owner was there within minutes to make repairs. The pictures are deceiving and the age of the property is in need of repair.

VERY NICE. OWNER MET US IMMEDIATELY UPON ARRIVAL .. LET ME KNOW HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM..BUT NO NEED EVERYTHING WAS VERY SATISFACTORY.. WE WILL RENT AGAIN

The house was perfect for our family get-together. It was comfortable, well furnished, and clean. We all enjoyed sitting on the deck and taking in the view. The only minor drawback was the bumpy road to the house, but it is doable.

We always come to Guntersville for our kiddos’ fall break from school. This property is in a great location and was very convenient to many things in the area. The views were stunning and the property and lake were peaceful and perfect for our week. We brought our boat and the boathouse was a huge perk, and so appreciated. We loved hanging out on the dock! The house itself is beautiful and has great bones. It even had a private bedroom that had private access that was perfect for my in laws traveling with us. There were many aspects of the house that were well loved and could use some attention. However, we had a great week and everyone was very comfortable.

This property is in a beautiful convenient location. The exterior of the house and boathouse and pool are good. A few issues like broken stones walk, exposed nails on the deck could present a safty hazard. The greatest danger was the loose deck post that a small child could have pushed out. Which would have resulted in a deadly fall. The interior of the home was dated and in need of maintenance. It was clean …just pretty much “used up”. We enjoyed our trip because we had great family time in a beautiful location. I would not recommend this property.

We had a truly amazing trip to Guntersville Lake. We intend to one day move there so easy access to all local amenities was clutch. Our access to Marina, fuel, main river all checked the box. Sam was terrific available at a drop of a hat my wife arrived before I Did and was on the spot to deal with some mechanical issue. All in all a terrific stay. The house was an amazing find. The layout and vastness handles our large crew without a hitch. This house unlike others which weve rented is “user friendly”. All in all it is well apportioned and well decorated. But this baby is “Lived in”. Now some might think hmmmmm. What does that mean. Well with a large family and many grand children like we have in some homes your terrified of them touching anything. Well kids can stretch their lega here. She has some dings and scratches here and there. And once you get past that VRBO renter first shock “hunny did we get insurance “?? Conversation you realize that chair back was already lose. Then you get down to “moving in “ and letting the kids play! Pool was super cool and our little herd relished every moment. Thank you Sam. As one looking to move into the area. I look forward to working together again. And yes we did get the Insurance.

Third stay gets nicer each time This is a big house mom and Dad 2 sisters and myself with 6 grand children total of 14 and plenty of room the house was super clean. pontoon boat new Bentley that holds 14 we going to make this our even year vacation going forward

Very beautiful property, also very steep to the water, lots of stairs!. We enjoyed every minute. Fished, kids enjoyed the pool, which was very clean and the property owner was very kind and attentive. 6 adults and 2 teens had plenty of room to move about and enjoy a long weekend getaway!!

Nice enough place. Sam mad the process easy

Needs lots of work, lots of issue with house, things not been repaired and taken care of. Property Manager would not even take my calls.

We had a wonderful stay at this property! We’ll definitely be booking it again for future trips. The owner was very helpful.

This house is very spacious both inside and out! We had plenty of room for all adults and children. It was very clean and the kitchen was the most stocked one as far as cooking items. (plates, cups, bowls, pots, pans, tons of utensils, placemats, trays, you name it!) It is multiple levels when you include the three story home (ground level is a "man cave"), two very large decks (upper and lower), access to the pool and boating dock. I cannot think of one thing that would have made it a better stay! The host, Sam, is great!

This property was excellent for our ninth annual fathers/sons retreat. We had plenty of space and the bus enjoyed the pool. To top it off my big brother, who is wheel chair bound from a stroke, was able to spend one day with his son. Highly recommend!!

Had family meeting from 4 states, surrounding cities of Albertville and Guntersville also. Plenty of outside seating on decks and pool area. Kitchen well stocked. Plenty of towels, etc for all bathrooms. Might need to bring beach towels for the pool/lake. Parking could be an issue if more than 4-5 vehicles. Sam is a great host and right there if needed. Everyone had a wonderful time.

The property was everything we needed in more. Whether we took a swim in the pool or simply threw a pole in the water, the property boasts of peace and tranquility! The lush plants on the property made for an amazing view. The owner of the property was very welcoming and gave us his number if we should need anything. He answered any questions we had right away. We can't wait to book with him again for our next vacation!

Too many things broken to list. Bugs, spiders and spider webs everywhere! It could be a nice property if it was maintained. Just curious of the percentage return guests.

Our family meets my wife's siblings and their families every year for a family vacation. This year we chose Guntersville, and converged from 3 different states for our vacation. We need a large home (6 adults, 9 kids), and this home was perfect! The pool kept the kids busy when we weren't out on the boat tubing. The large number of bathrooms meant no one had to wait for a shower. The layout of the bedrooms is a little awkward, but if you think you may need more space, there is a bar/media area downstairs that can easily be used to sleep a few more people. The road to the house is very narrow, so much so that my brother in law was not able to trailer his boat to the driveway. We ended putting in at a nearby boat launch and motoring over to the house's dock. The clearance of the bridge you must pass under to access the house is very low (we had a center console Hurricane boat that fit with only 3 inches to spare!), so be aware of that. As noted in other reviews, this house has been well-loved, but everything functioned, and Sam was very responsive to texts/calls after we checked in. One disappointment was that the paddleboard was not available. This may be something you want to confirm before getting your heart set on sunrise paddles each morning. We loved staying here, and may come again. Not only was the house perfect for us, the area has a variety of activities for all ages. I recommend Guntersville State Park (hiking, biking, and swimming), High Falls Park (cliff jumping and wading), Papa Dubis (incredible Cajun food).

The view is amazing at this house. So much room inside and out! Parking is a little crazy but we fit everyone in as well. Wonderful family reunion location. Beautiful waterfront property.

House needs extensive maintenance and needs deep cleaning. Furniture is poor and kitchen is very poorly stocked with just basic items.

The property was pretty much as described except that it was actually much steeper to the water than portrayed. The main issue was with the owner. A friend of mine stayed in this property last summer and told me the oven didn't work. I talked to Sam about this and he assured me that it had been repaired - said "there was a button on the left that you push". Once again before check in I asked about the oven and he assured me it was in working order. It was not!! In 4 hours it never got above 165 degrees - ruined food that I had prepared ahead of time!!! Sam did come by - and agreed that it didn't work (and he could not find a button on the left to push!) and replaced the oven. Our other issue was with the boat we rented from him. I was specific on the phone - and he repeated back to me - the boat we wanted with a top. The wrong boat was delivered - they replaced it with the right boat but without the canopy top. Then we had to wait for them to bring the top and when they did, there were no pins to attach it!! By now it is well after noon - so more than a half day went by without us being able to use it - but he charged me for a full day. I questioned the charge and he never responded. I will not stay here again!
