About this cabin rental

This is a rustic fishing cabin on quaint and quiet Lake Retreat. The cabin truly is rustic and quiet. Built (we assume) by weekend warriors back in 1979, it became ours in May of 2018. Lake Retreat is part of the Lake View Property Owners Association. The owners, Chris and Nancy have paid the dues for the year, so the dock is available for fishing. The lake has Bass, Catfish, Blue Gill, and other Brim. Lake Retreat is a no-wake lake. The LPOA does not allow non-owner boats on the lake. Swimming is not recommended. Water is not tested for e-coli.

This cabin is a peaceful getaway right on the serene water of Lake Retreat! The dock also has two Adirondack chairs so you can sit and fish or enjoy the view! We provide pond fish food so you can feed the fish and an occasional turtle off the dock.

This cabin includes a smart TV in the living area and another smart TV in the Queen bed bedroom. Both have remotes. One security camera points at the front gate and parking pad 24/7. The kitchen features an electric range, microwave, and a refrigerator with ice maker. You can fill the cooler on the way to the game! The cabin is great for relaxing after an Alabama football game.
Watercraft are not available.

Enjoyed our stay! The cabin was very clean and as described. We had zero issues with check in or finding the cabin! Very quiet and peaceful which we absolutely loved!! Only 10 minutes from a dollar general and few local places to eat (pizza, burgers, and Mexican). It was also a short drive back into Tuscaloosa to shop or eat out.

We enjoyed our stay at the Rustic Fishing Cabin. It was the perfect spot for us as we visited our daughter, who is a student at UA. Its a perfect hide a way and we plan to return when she graduates.
