Vance, Alabama
This is a rustic fishing cabin on quaint and quiet Lake Retreat. The cabin truly is rustic. Built (we assume) by weekend warriors back in 1979, it became ours in May of 2018. Lake Retreat is part of the Lake View Property Owners Association. The owners, Chris and Nancy have paid the dues for the year, so the dock is available for fishing. The lake has Bass, Catfish, Blue Gill, and other Brim. Lake Retreat is a no-wake lake. The LPOA does not allow non-owner motorized boats on the lake.
A peaceful getaway right on the serene water of Lake Retreat! The dock also has two Adirondack chairs so you can sit and fish or enjoy the view! We provide pond fish food so you can feed the fish and an occasional turtle off the dock.
This cabin includes a smart TV in the living area and another smart TV in the Queen bed bedroom. Both have remotes. The kitchen features an electric range, microwave, and a refrigerator with ice maker. The cabin is great for relaxing after an Alabama football game. Watercraft are not available.

We enjoyed our stay. Very quiet area but yet close enough for a run to the store if need be.
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your cabin. I can't wait to take my wife there in the spring. It was so quiet and relaxing. The place was very clean and accommodating.
Great place for peace and quiet. We will be back.
Awesome! So relaxing! We will be back!
Lovely little cabin. We caught a lot of bluegill. It was a great weekend.
This sweet little cottage is a treasure for a relaxing, private get away in the woods. The cabin has plenty of room, great water pressure and the owners added all the little touches that make the stay stress free -providing linens, paper towels, towels, shampoos, charcoal, coffee filters, and yes, a pizza in the freezer (just to name a few). There are no neighbors to either side, just beautiful wooded land. The deck seating and views can’t be beat. Waking up to the mirrored lake and humming birds is mesmerizing. Although we didn’t fish, the lake is clearly filled with fish that can be seen from the dock along with some turtle friends. The owners being pet friendly is the icing on the cake as the dog loved to explore the smells of the woods and swim at the waters edge. Thank you Nancy and Chris for a great family weekend!
This place was perfect! Great hosts and perfect place! Loved it!
Property owners were kind and quick to answer questions we had. Several nice little surprises. Pizza in freezer, humming bird feeders, fishing equipment to use. Beautiful dock on private lake. Would I stay here again, YES!
The Rustic Fishing Cabin is a great place to relax and unwind. Sitting on a small well stocked lake, with a dock to sit or layout on. The cabin was very clean and well appointed. I will stay here again next time I’m in town.
The cabin is the perfect place to have a reset. Quiet and exactly what our family needed. Hosts replied to questions very quickly and made sure our stay was everything we needed.
We stayed at this cabin while up for a wedding at Tannehill. This was a short 16 min drive to Tannehill. The niceness and experience this cabin has to offer was really unexpected. Owner helped direct us to where we could purchase live bait. We ended up finding bait at the Speedway by I-20/59 across from Loves and tackle at the nearest Walmart 30 min drive away. I would recommend stopping on your way in if you plan to fish. We caught 6 fish while fishing from the dock. There is a fish cleaning station although we threw our catches back. The beds all had really clean-smelling sheets. The kitchen had what we needed to grill out. The owner was very accommodating with offering grill accessories to use their charcoal grill. There was a nice sand beach at the lakeside that our little boy enjoyed playing in with a sand bucket and bubbles the owner provided. There were several games to play that the whole family enjoyed. There was just the right amount of space for us to spread out. A nice deck for sitting to drink morning coffee. Coffee available to use in the coffee pot. We had no issues at all. The owner was helpful in helping to arrange pickup of items that we accidentally left instead of just throwing away. We would stay here in the future when we travel up to visit with family and friends!
We enjoyed our stay at the Rustic Fishing Cabin. I will have to say I almost dismissed staying here due to the pics posted, but they really do not do the property justice. I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The living space was comfy and cozy. You cannot beat the location of being right on the water. We really liked sitting on the dock and just being surrounded by nature. We even fed the fish and watched them come to the surface to feed. There were quite a lot of good-sized catfish as well as another kind of fish, which I am not familiar with. Overall, I would recommend staying here to anyone that wants to get away to a nice, quiet area and enjoy nature. This is a great location for a family of four and especially anyone who loves to fish.
This place is a great, quiet cabin on the lake. My husband and I had a great time celebrating our anniversary. The owners are friendly and easy to reach. Fishing off the dock was nice and relaxing. We will be back!
It was a relaxing few days away from the hustle and bustle. My wife and I appreciated the quite, well insulated rooms and the space for playing games with the kids. My children especially appreciated the tire swing, fishing, canoeing and paddle boating. Great place for a little s’more crafting and kicking back. Grocery stores and bait shops within convenient distance. Came stocked with a couple frozen pizzas (thanks hosts)!
