Sunset Landing- Sunsets, water, peace and tranquility

River/Lakeside home with the perfect vibe for people who need to chill! 3 formal bedrooms, additional 1 futon, 2 bath, large open area living space with open kitchen and dining area and beautiful screened-in dining area as a back porch. The views are UNREAL! Gas fireplace for cooler nights. For you chefs there are XL green egg, outside gas griddle 36 in., and all the normal kitchen amenities. Riverside doc, boat ramp for smaller craft, and a mile from a free boat launch. Decks galore for your chilling pleasure. Surrounded by nature and an unbelievable bird and wildlife population. Opposite shore is TVA owned and sparsely populated on a 64,000 hechtacre Lake Wheeler. World class bass fishing. Excellent ski and recreational boating. Kayak and stand up paddle board on site. Adjacent property to the west is unbuilt and is a haven for incredible bird population. Wifi and Smart TVs available, but we know you don't care about those. Excellent place to gather yourself, recharge, write music, or a launch pad for Huntsville, Athens, Florence and Muscle Shoals attractions. We'd love to share this with right minded folks seeking peace and tranquility. This is a very clean and nice house and incredible location. Excellent beds. It is surrounded by wild things, so if wild things and nature bothers you, this might not be the right location for you.

Great view for relaxing

We really enjoyed our stay. The back porch was our favorite spot to watch birds (take some bird feed to put on rail for good view). Beds were comfortable. Quiet area. Plan to go back in future

Lovely Weekend Retreat

Our family stayed for an extended weekend together. The accommodations were spacious and the screen porch was a great place to enjoy the lake views. The beautiful sunsets each evening were magnificent! It was our home away from home, and we can’t wait to come back.

Beautiful and relaxing

We loved this property! We were torn between a beach vacation and visiting family in Athens. So happy I found this house on the water, which allowed for a relaxing lake view and close proximity to family. Even with rain every day, it was lovely.

Great Lakeside Property

If you like hanging out in the sun on a dock over the lake or in the shade on a deck above the lake, or in a covered screened in porch further above the lake, you'll enjoy yourself here. The description is accurate. A bit out of the way, which may be the reason to choose this property. Still, Athens is only 20 minutes away, and the NASA Space Center is an easy trip.

Peaceful getaway

We stayed here for my son’s college fishing tournament. It was great being right on the lake with amazing views. The house is bigger than I anticipated from the listing. The indoor space accommodated 8 easily. It was kind of cold when we were there so we couldn’t take advantage of the outdoor space, but it was well appointed for outdoor cooking and entertaining. The rental is about 20 minutes from grocery stores and restaurants, and I liked being away from the noise. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing stay!

I was in the area for an extended business trip and wanted a relaxing place to lay my head after long days at work. This place was exactly what I was looking for and more. The owners are great to work with and made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Beautiful home with a beautiful view of the lake! We enjoyed our visit. It was quiet and relaxing. The home was perfect for us and being able to see the lake when waking up in the morning was a bonus! Thank you for the hospitality!

Great Spot for a Lake Getaway

This house has plenty of room! It's on a quiet spot on the lake, only 20 minutes from lots of restaurants in Athens. The view from the deck, the screened-in patio, and the kitchen are wonderful. We would definitely stay here again!

Thanksgiving with Friends

We went back to Huntsville where I grew Up to visit old friends. We had a great stay. The King size bed was very comfportable. My wife actually commented on it as we have had many bad beds in the past. Thhe only issue I had, and knew going in was the distance to Huntsville. But we did enjoy our stay very Much!
