Rustic Mountain Lakefront Cottage

Get away from it all at our rustic mountain lake front cottage on Pine Island Circle. Spacious, wooded and VERY private lot, long circular driveway great for lots of parking and stone path from house to water and a large boat dock. Renovated and updated bathroom. Large boat dock for lounge chairs, tying up three to four boats (with electrical outlet to charge batteries). GREAT fishing spot on Pine Island where many fishing tournaments have been won!
WIFI and Cable TV.
Large wooden deck with built-in seating and 15 foot long picnic table. Adjoining patio has charcoal grill, picnic table and fire pit. We are at the center of a quiet bay which opens into the main channel of Guntersville Lake. Easy access to nearby public launches on either side of property 2 miles away including Waterfront Bay Grocery, Tackle and Launch 2 miles down the street. We are located off Highway 79 between Guntersville and Scottsboro.

We had a great time, it was quiet and secluded. Rustic, older cottage, great classic decor. Exactly what me and my brother look for in fishing trips. Wonderful and courteous communication from homeowner, will definitely keep on the list of places to stay again.

Quiet Cozy Cottage

Secluded and peaceful property. Dock had all kinds of little fish biting around it. Wildlife such as birds frogs and turtles were in abundance. Great little cove spot in a big open part of the lake.

A great place to stay!

We had a great time staying by the water and loved the old feel of the house! We hope to possibly get to stay in the future! The host was kind and helpful with anything we needed and texted back fast. I would very much recommend this place!

Nice, older cabin.

Before you book, this is an older cabin, so be aware and don’t judge it for being older. It’s cozy and comfortable. Of course it needs some fixing here and there, but what doesn’t? Mainly the bathroom, but it functions as it should. The air conditioning works very well!! The cabin is right on the water. If you have a boat trailer it’s harder to maneuver in and out of the driveway, but it can be done. There’s a washer and dryer if needed. Plus internet and all the different apps for television/movies. Communication with the host was great! She kept us up to date and really wanted our experience to go well. We enjoyed our stay.

Extremely let go

This place has been extremely let go. The yard and woods around the house need cleaned out. The house is a little outdated but not terrible. None of the windows shut correctly. The bathroom was covered in mold. The ceiling was falling out in the bathroom and had major water damage and has caused mold. The walls of the shower were buckled in. Water dripped out of everything so we had bugs all week. The dock had broken boards and looked like the boats in the boat house have sunk.

Great place to stay for a fishing trip!!

Great place to stay for a fishing trip!! The inside of the house was clean and as described. There is a boat dock with a boat house you are able to tie to, but…. You are not able to pull into the boat house. Being able to pull into the boat house would have been convenient. Other than that… great place to stay for a group of fisherman!!!

Exceptional Value

This location is stunning. My husband and I have stayed at “fancier” vacation rentals, yet there is something charming about this place that will keep us coming back. For the price, this is a great getaway. The location is serene, private, and quiet. Our goldendoodles had the times of their lives. They were able to jump in the water and splash around. Also, the water pressure was something to write home about as well. Perfect for cleaning pups after a day of frolicking by the lake. The kitchen has plenty of space if you have cooking in mind.
