Great Visit
House and boathouse are great! Driveway is steep. I recommend following the owners directions for accessing the driveway. Also, putting your boat in the water before going to the house works best.

Getaway at the cove
My family felt right at home, even though the weather was rainy, it was relaxing and cozy! They had everything we would ever need and much needed family time with the grandmother and grandchildren and great grandchildren. We created very special memories at the cove! Thank you Stephanie and Donovan!

The house was great although we spent most of our time outside grilling, fishing from the boathouse, and golfing at the state park. We’re looking forward to doing it again.

Perfect vacation stay
Denver and Stephanie were the perfect host. After we messed up our e-mail address they went above and beyond to deal with VRBO to get it straightened out. My wife and I and two grown children had more than enough space. Great outdoor areas to sit and relax. Great boathouse for my 19 foot bass boat. Even sent us a link on how to park our boat trailer in the driveway. This was a bucket list trip for me and this house was perfect in every way.

Weekday getaway
We stayed at this home right before the 4th of July. What a wonderful get away! The home is beautiful inside and out. The outdoor areas were the best part! There is a very nice screened in area to avoid the bugs. There is a nice covered area over the grill and stick burner! Then you get the use of the boathouse as well. We had family pick us up from our deck and went out on the lake! There is a lily pad to use if you choose. We had a great time and will look to see the availability of the cabin when we come down again! There was several places around to eat that we enjoyed, another broken egg cafe and Brazos are a couple. Overall we loved our stay at the lake!

Perfect fishing trip
The house, boat house and property were excellent. We liked where it was positioned at the end of the cove. It was very convenient to have the boat in the water and ready to go in the mornings and evenings! The house was clean and as advertised! We will definitely book here again!

Five ladies stayed from Friday until Monday for a Bachelorette Trip. I have to say, the website pictures do not do this house justice. It was beautiful! Plus, the owner has added so many details to make your trip enjoyable and relaxing it is amazing! We have rented several different places on the Guntersville Lake. This one was our favorite!

Love this home!
This was our first time staying at this property and we were very pleased! The house is very clean, love the layout of the house, and the view from the deck is beautiful! Check-in and check-out was a breeze, and the host was always quick to reply to any questions or concerns we had. One of out major deciding factors was having access to and use of the boathouse! For us, that is a huge plus! And we were pleasantly surprised one morning when we were able to watch a pair of eagles fly around the cove! We will definitely be returning!

We did not get to make our trip due to last minute health issues, but I can't say enough good things about the host and their response to me. They were so polite and accommodating and we were able to receive a refund and will be rescheduling our trip for a later date when all family members are well.

Cozy Cabin
The cabin was like a second home. Everything we needed in the kitchen was there. The big open kitchen den and seating at the island made for good family time. The Generac was super handy because a car accident made the power go off on Friday night. I appreciated the blankets, the dog couch covers, and the small heaters in each bathroom, and the screened in porch. It was just what I wanted out of a family gathering space for thanksgiving and football watching.
