Great experience. I was in the area for a conference and my husband brought the boat so he could fish. Our daughter was also able to come for a day/night. The house is just like the photos, clean and comfortable with a beautiful view. Area was peaceful and quite. Angie was a great host.

Great home
We just loved staying at your home. Beautiful views from the wrap around porch. The sunrise comes up in front of the home. Area was peaceful and quiet. All the bedrooms, shower, kitchen and living room was on the same floor. This helps if you are physically challenged. Bring fire starter to light charcoal grill and wood burning fire pit. Owners were quick to answer any phone calls and guide you through any questions you might have. Cannot wait to come back.

Very Nice and Clean
The property is very nice, has a great dock on a beautiful lake. This place was the perfect spot for a Talladega stay, a little bit of a drive, but not terribly far from the track , but far enough to be peaceful. The owner takes pride in the property and it shows. I will definitely rent this place again.

Little Mishaps & Great Service
We stayed at this house right after Christmas. It was a lovely home and a great location. We had a couple of things that happened. One was the door code wasn’t working at first when we arrived and another had to do with a circuit breaker for the oven. Without going into too much detail, I can share that the host was probably the most responsive host I have ever dealt with. They called, texted, and were very pleasant and kind to deal with. The location is about 30 minutes from Walmart and restaurants (in Calera). Nothing delivers to the house, so if you plan on arriving and NOT going back out for food, you’ll want to be sure to pick something up on the way in. We visited Majestic Falls (aka: Desoto Falls) and the old Shelby Iron Works (if you love old buildings and history this is a nice stop that doesn’t take a lot of time). The town of Colombiana looked like a great little town to poke around in. But since it was after the holiday everything was closed. The house itself was comfortable and had nearly everything we needed. If you’re not a dog person, be aware that the tiny “neighborhood” lets a few of their dogs roam. They may bark, but they’re friendly. We’d stay here again. I imagine the lake is VERY active during the summer months, so that would be a great time to visit.

My daughter and I stayed here to host a family Christmas gathering. This house was perfect and had everything I needed to cook the meal. The host was so easy to work with. We will be back…to relax, next time.

Fantastic view!!
The property was very clean and if you want to be on the water, you couldn’t pick a better spot!! The water views and landscape across the lake are spectacular. We lived on the deck with its comfy furniture! Could not have picked a better spot to relax and we’ll definitely be back.

Second Stay
This was our second time staying at Emma’s View and the second time was just as great of an experience as the first. From the home, to the views and the communication with property management team, always top notch. Absolutely the best place to stay for a Lay Lake vacation. This has quickly become one of our annual “must do” stays.
