Wedowee, Alabama
Come share our well appointed lake home on a quiet cove. We’re on the south end of Lake Wedowee in Hunter Bend subdivision. Our location keeps us away from holiday and weekend boat traffic. You can feel safe to swim quietly in the deep water off our dock (20 feet deep at the end of the dock during high water, 35 feet deep in the middle of the cove) while only minutes from the main channel, big water and great boating. Lake Wedowee is renowned for it’s fabulously clean water, the result of being created from a deep river channel through rocky terrain. There is no orange staining typical of many southern lakes.
The house faces northeast, and even in hot weather the deck and dock are in the shade most the day, offering cool and pleasant afternoons and evenings, while getting good early and midday sun if you want to tan.
Our cove is residential and has several year round residents. We ask our guests respect the peace and quiet our residents enjoy. PARTIES ARE NOT PERMITTED. (This is NOT the place to have your teen's getaway or a noisy adult party.)
The home has three bedrooms, each with their own full bath. Plus a powder room on the main. The master is on the main and has a King bed. The two lower level bedrooms have two queen beds each. And again, each bedroom has it’s own full bath.
The kitchen comes fully equipped with gas stove, microwave, both a Keurig and drip coffee maker, toaster, and filtered water through the refrigerator, (we’re already on city water, and the quality is excellent). Air Fryer. Crock Pot. There is tons of high quality cookware. Everything you'll need to cook up something special. Plus a stainless steel gas grill. Lots of wine glasses and very good quality dishware.
The house has high speed internet, (20-30 mbps, adequate for streaming TV or Video Conferencing) free wifi, 3 smart TV's. You can log into your favorite viewing apps.
There is a SONOS sound system on the main which includes the main room TV.
The upper deck was completely redone in the Spring of 2022! It has heavy, quality deck chairs and a Weber Genesis steel gas grill. Propane is provided. There are also good quality deck chairs on the gazebo and at the firepit, and extra chairs below the deck.
The dock will handle a good sized boat and has bumpers on two sides. There's a drive-on jetski port to use. There's an easy step swim ladder.
The boat launch is literally across the street. The nearest marina is about 15 minutes away on the water… just past the 48 bridge. They have gas pumps open seven days during the summer months. 6 days in the fall and winter.
Pontoon boats are available for rent through several services.
Town is a 15 minute drive away. There are two grocery stores, a liquor store, and a few other convenience stores. A list of restaurants is included in the brochure we send before a guest arrives.
About Lake Wedowee—
Lake Wedowee, technically “RL Harris Reservoir” was created in the 80’s by Alabama Power. It’s 10,000 acres (1/4 the size of Lake Lanier north of Atlanta or Lake Martin near Montgomery) and was formed from a deep river channel of the Tallapoosa River. The water is very deep, and very clear. At our south end of the lake, hundred foot depths are the norm.
Alabama Power lowers the water level about 8’ staring in early October until late April. It does affect the appearance of the shoreline and the utility of many docks. Our dock remains floating, but the walkway from shore gets quite steep when the water is down. Though the lake in the winter is special. Incredibly quiet and peaceful.
Come join us! We are very flexible with scheduling. First come, first served.
This was our second stay with our family at this home and it did not disappoint! The grandkids could not get enough of the kayaks. The cove is quiet with no traffic so they had a blast kayaking and swimming. We tried the firepit this time and everyone enjoyed! The location of this home on the South end of the lake is the best. It is furnished nicely and comes with everything you will need for meal prep. Very open communication with the host. I highly recommend this home!
We spent our Thanksgiving week here and would recommend it to anyone. LOVED the fire pit and views from the porch. Can’t wait to come back during the summer and enjoy again. Amazing communication with owner and this place has everything. Well stocked for whatever you want.
This home was perfect for a family trip to the lake. Clean, well-kept and very well stocked with everything needed. The supplies in the kitchen were perfect for meal prep, everything needed was provided! The dock was perfect for swimming and boating, the children appreciated and enjoyed the kayaks. We hope to return soon!
Great house. Great host. Everything you could ever think of has been thought of. We will definitely book again.
The pictures and description do NOT do justice to this place!!! Just beautiful and everything you could want for a perfect family location! With quite cold temperatures, we loved all the blankets tucked everywhere! The fire pit provided afternoon and evening family gatherings with the perfect atmosphere for conversation and, of course, S’MORES! The play room was a great surprise for the little ones and kayaking was a highlight for everyone!! This place is incredible! Even the cat from next door visited and gave us laughs! My only complaint has nothing to do with the house - the potholes on the last few miles were a bit of a challenge. Don’t let that stop you- it’s worth the aggravation!! We also got in a bit of Christmas shopping in Wedowee- amazing eclectic stores!! Thank you for many wonderful memories!
This lakehouse is easy to get to and easy to park your vehicle. The home is well-equipped…the owners have thought of everything! We especially enjoyed the backyard and dock. The cove is very peaceful.
We stayed in this home for the October Talladega NASCAR Race and we truly enjoyed it! It has a fully stocked kitchen of gadgets! The house is spotless and the host is fantastic! Definitely worth you trying it out!
We were very impressed with the property. It had everything we needed and it was clear the owners really made an effort to make sure we had everything we needed. It was so nice to have all the kitchen essentials and little details like extra bar soap and paper towels and phone chargers by the beds. My kids loved having access to the kayaks and we loved not having to lug ours and our life jackets from home. The house was very clean and comfortable and in a great location. We were so thankful for the emails we received from John explaining about the area and where everything was in the house. My son caught more fish this weekend than he ever has, and he was thrilled! John even volunteered to allow us to check in early and stay late on check out day, which was so very nice and made our trip extra special because we got to spend more time with family we don't see often. Thank you John for a wonderful stay!
This was our second time back at the property, and the owners had made improvements from the last time. The owner is always very helpful and great to work with. We absolutely love the location on the lake, and it’s the perfect size house for our family. The kitchen is always stocked with helpful things like condiments and foil. Thanks for a great stay.
This property was the best we’ve ever stayed at on Lake Wedowee. Plenty of space and fully stocked. Easy access to the lake. The cove is quiet. Very little boat/jet ski traffic, making it nice for a family to enjoy even on the 4th of July. The owner was quick to respond to any questions.
