Bass-kin is a house located directly on the Fairhope side of Fish river. The cabin has a very inviting interior with wood panels, floor, and blinds. Bass-kin has great natural lighting with 11 windows(with natural wood blinds). You are so high up that you feel like you are in a treehouse. The ladder leading to the upstairs loft style bedroom has a full size bed with a great expansive view of the river. If you prefer not to use the ladder, the couch down on the main floor is a pullout queen size bed.

Enjoy everything about the property: kayaks, fishing poles, grilling picnic area with a Webber charcoal grill, fire pit,etc. The river is great place to spend your time! The Inside of the tiny house living area is a great place to watch a movie or football game. It has a comfortable leather couch and a 42 inch Smart TV which includes Youtube TV, which is the newest(best) streaming service that provides 70 of the best cable channels, and is easy to navigate. When watching movies, the smart tv allows you to log in to your Netflix or Amazon Prime account. We have Wifi internet with lots of power(300 mpbs!!). Big Daddy's grill is just a few blocks down the road. Big Daddy's is one of the areas most popular casual dinning restaurants located on the river.
The occasional rain shower can be a little bit of a bummer at most places, but not at the cabin. Its great to hear the rain on the tin roof.
Southern Summers can be hot. The cabin has two air conditioners and a dehumidifier... When combined it makes a comfortable temperature inside of the cabin.

A large portion of short term rental properties have the owners who live on or adjacent to the property. We do not live on or adjacent to the cabin.

Recent guest spotted a Bald Eagle at the property during their stay!

Listing picture disclosure: some shoreline erosion has occurred from Hurricane Sally.

Because of hazards like a child falling throught the hatch of the sleeping area and the rocky bulkhead, we ask guests not to bring children.

    This was the perfect location on the Fish River, Big daddys food was fantastic-Bushwackers were great. Michael was a perfect host and provide any communication needed. He was very thoughtful in his gift basket of goodies and personalized keepsake for our trip. The location was very peaceful and perfectly located to orange beach gulf shores Florabama etc. We will definitely be back to spend more time in Fairhope and surrounding area. only con of the trip was that we ran out of time to explore more of the area, Fairhope is always amazing and the food experience/choices were beyond our expectations. love for L A

    Our host was amazing. Made the entire stay fantastic and accommodated us arriving an hour early when we miscalculated the time zone change. Took a kayak ride on the river and we were able to fish right of the riverbank. Would highly recommend staying here!

    We had a wonderful stay! The property was exactly what we were looking for—peaceful, safe, and right on the water with beautiful views. The owners were incredibly helpful, with detailed notes that made everything easy, and they responded quickly anytime we had a question. The home was well-stocked with everything we needed, and we loved having access to the kayaks and fishing poles. The quiet neighborhood made it even more relaxing. Highly recommend

    My husband and I booked this tiny house for a quiet getaway! It was perfect! We thought the loft area was quite cozy. We loved watching the boats pass by on the river. The kitchen was well equipped for us to make breakfast one morning. We would highly recommend this place! We were impressed with all of the information and the labels were very helpful. Michael was a pleasure to work with.
