Huntsville Fun
A well appointed and peaceful/secluded home. Close to the city and all it has to offer, but removed enough that a dip in the hot tub at the end of the day was pure quiet relaxation.

Returning for Relaxation
This is the second time my family has stayed at the river house and this time we brought some close friends. The property was just as great as the first time we stayed. The location is hard to beat with the tranquility of the country and the close proximity to Huntsville along with several other points of interest. Will definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Home Away from Home
Kelli was a wonderful host. Easy to contact with questions, quick to reply, and so kind. The house was like home away from home. Our kids (5 & 6) settled in immediately. We had plenty of quiet space to rest after a busy Summer. 10/10 would recommend and would stay again.
