Very peaceful and beautiful location on the lake

We enjoyed our stay. The wooded lot blocks The views of other homes so you can enjoy just looking at the lake and some privacy. The cottage was very clean, stocked with everything needed.

The rustic lake house.

Rustic is an appropriate descriptor. And it was accurately described in the listing. It would be helpful if the light switches were labeled. I was unable to get the lights on in the driveway. The one statement in the listing that I disagree with is the statement that it is handicap accessible. I disagree. The front entry is sloped toward the door and there is no handrail. Also the broken tiles at the entrance to the kitchen offer awkward footing. And the threshold between the kitchen and the living room would definitely be a tripping hazard for a person with mobility issues. Also check-in time is listed at 4:00 and yet the cleaning lady was still there until nearly 4:40.

Great short stay

We only stayed 2 nights for a fishing trip, but we loved it! It is an older cabin, but was very clean and comfortable. Easy access and adequate parking for our boat. The owner was easy very responsive and informative. We will definitely rent again.

Even Helene couldn't ruin our fun

Our 3rd stay here. Had a great time, caught some really nice bass. Had to cut our fishing short when Hurricane Helene dumped rain and blew like crazy. But that did give us the opportunity to go to Cathedral Caverns State Park. Lost power for a little over an hour, the owners were great keeping in touch. Looking forward to next year!

Third time staying here and hopefully not our last. Good center lake spot in a quiet bay. Everything as shown and water pressure in shower is like a massage after a long day fishing.

As Advertised

Rustic as advertised. Easy walk to the dock. Our dogs loved the property. Everything worked correctly. Thanks for the heads up about the Keurig, we took our Mr. Coffee. No problem. Some bowls suitable for cereal or oatmeal would have been nice.

A quiet, rustic getaway, near to all that the Guntersville region has to offer.

We traveled down for a few days with our elderly dog, to begin her bucket list: rented pontoon boat for a water-loving canine. The lake house was accommodating and the lot safe for walking around. Bear in mind that this is an old house with many years on her, in the middle of the woods, and expectations should match that. The friendly host has cheery rustic signage, clean linens, comfortable, well-worn furniture, a proper table for meals inside and two picnic benches outside. Elli (pup) enjoyed basking in the sunlight on the pier while we took the river view in, and sitting with her humans on the patio. I in turn noted all the native plants that survive the dry terrain — it would be lovely to see all the clematis in bloom during the springtime. (I’m a gardener, so I always look around.) Muscadine was ripe and birds feeding from it while we were there. If bringing kids, watch for the loons to dip and sunning turtles to climb up onto a log and then slide back into the water. When you’re chilling, it’s the little things… Be prepared for a few hours, intermittently, of mosquito swarm…in full force and then gone again. Water, woodland; again to be expected. Also late night/early morn, woodland insects will be a’flurry. The road into the residential area is one lane with many soft shoulders, so drive slowly, considerately and be aware of the custom to pull to the side if you can depending on the area you are in (and who can do what). You’ll get there…on lake time.

Bathroom had live mice, nest in closet. trash had been thrown in bathcloset, including dirty tissue. soap dish in bath was all caked over with old soap. used soap in med cabinet in bath. closet in bedroom had previous laundry , sheets,towels,linens throwed in the floor. no room left in closet to put shoes. deck boards on the water loose and scary. No hammock or swing as picture showed, outside chairs had missing cushions, we left early than the time we paid for. Nasty place and no response from owner. i wish i could include the pictures i took so other visitors could see before they spend their hard earned money!!!

Very Disappointing

It was explained that this was an older cabin by the lake so we did not get our expectations up but what was not said is that it was very poorly maintained. There are safety hazards that you should be made aware of. Outside the door a tree that is very rotten at the base leans on the main power lines into the house. When it falls and it will, it will go through the roof and into one of the bedrooms. If in that room when that happens someone will get hurt badly. Another issue is a very soft floor at the fridge that a person could potentially fall through. Missing window panes in the french doors. The dock and pier was another hazard. I could go on and on. We did not feel very safe in this house. We will not return.

Lot was beautiful with many trees so that there was plenty of shade on the patio. Loved seeing an Eagle, heron, and other birds during the stay. Home was rustic but clean. Enjoyed my time there.

My perfect slice of heaven

I've stayed a lot of places in this area never anywhere that was so comfortable and felt so much like home. its not fancy so if that's what your looking for look on but if you want a private get away to fish off the pier and just hang out grill and have a fire in the fire pit at night then you found it I didn't want to leave and booked an extra night it was well lite at night all around the house and so quite we never saw another soul close enough if you want to get out but far enough away you don't know it. would like some lighting on the pier to night fish but other than that I can not think of one negative thing to say this will be my go to from now on if it's available and for the price no way you will beat it I thank them so much for sharing this with every one and caught tons of fish right off the pier. I will be back for sure as soon as I can

Go stay at the Rustic Mountain Lakefront Cottage

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at the Rustic Mountain Lakefront Cottage.The location was perfect and we had an awesome view from inside of the cottage and the outside. Very clean and down home. Loved the decorations. The only thing I did not like was that we couldn't stay longer. The Bishop's were real nice and friendly. If i had a question or couldn't figure something out they were quick to respond and willing to help. I would definitely recommend staying here. We will be renting from the Bishop's in the future. Thank you guys so much for everything. Amy Fetters
