Nice lil’ getaway…
It was a nice, cozy little cabin. A lot of things that we would’ve needed (toiletries, paper towels, paper plates, etc.) were provided. They even had us a little basket of snacks, along with some cold waters in the fridge. Very thoughtful & convenient!!! We enjoyed our stay!

The house was exactly as it was listed. Very comfortable and so peaceful. The views of the river and lake from the house is beautiful. The use of the boat house for our boat was great. Russ was very responsive when we had questions, etc. We enjoyed our stay so much we are coming up next year to stay there again.

Lake Guntersville in November
We stayed 5 nights and enjoyed our stay at this cabin and the pictures are accurate. The boathouse and use of the lift was very handy and an important factor in our selecting this place. For the price, we were very pleased. The weather was great and fishing was good! It is a downstairs unit but no one is staying upstairs. So we had the place to ourselves. A couple of things to note, the two single beds are in the main living area. The sink is a laundry sink around the corner from the stove. We ate out once a day with only breakfast in the unit. It has some cooking items - like small frying pans but it doesn't have lots of kitchen appliances (like a toaster) if you plan on a lot of cooking. Treats/Snacks are left for your use - a very nice touch! The floor is painted cement with rugs on it. The walls are painted cement blocks. The chairs are well used but comfortable. We weren't expecting posh accommodations and enjoyed the place. It has fabulous views and good parking. The new dock is great. The owner was very easy to work with and we were happy. We enjoyed the new City Harbor just across the lake with boat parking.

Family Getaway
This was such a nice cabin and just the right size for my family of four . We had the perfect view of the water and the location of the property was within just a few miles of all the local restaurants and attractions. The nicest part about this cabin is the owner goes the extra mile to ensure you have a nice stay and ensure you are comfortable with all the essentials you may need for your stay. I would definitely stay here again .

Relaxing Weekend
It's not fancy, but it is peaceful and quiet - and very convenient to Sand Mountain amphitheater. The two of us and our pup had a great weekend. Russ was very responsive before we booked and when we had a question once we were there. Looking forward to planning another weekend at the Dacha.

Great property for a guys fishing trip. Nothing fancy, just what the guys need. Kitchen and bathroom are well stocked with the necessities. The boathouse is an amazing amenity that allowed us to store our boat and our fishing gear safely. Russ was great to work with and very accommodating! We hope to return soon!

Another visit to my Zen place
As you'll see from other reviews, I have stayed at this location multiple times. I return because I love it so much -- It's my happy place. On this trip, I saw several eagles, a fox and lots of beautiful other birds. Such a special place!
