Athens, Alabama
River/Lakeside home with the perfect vibe for people who need to chill! 3 formal bedrooms, additional 1 futon, 2 bath, large open area living space with open kitchen and dining area and beautiful screened-in dining area as a back porch. The views are UNREAL! Gas fireplace for cooler nights. For you chefs there are XL green egg, outside gas griddle 36 in., and all the normal kitchen amenities. Riverside doc, boat ramp for smaller craft, and a mile from a free boat launch. Decks galore for your chilling pleasure. Surrounded by nature and an unbelievable bird and wildlife population. Opposite shore is TVA owned and sparsely populated on a 64,000 hechtacre Lake Wheeler. World class bass fishing. Excellent ski and recreational boating. Kayak and stand up paddle board on site. Adjacent property to the west is unbuilt and is a haven for incredible bird population. Wifi and Smart TVs available, but we know you don't care about those. Excellent place to gather yourself, recharge, write music, or a launch pad for Huntsville, Athens, Florence and Muscle Shoals attractions. We'd love to share this with right minded folks seeking peace and tranquility. This is a very clean and nice house and incredible location. Excellent beds. It is surrounded by wild things, so if wild things and nature bothers you, this might not be the right location for you.
The views were breathtaking and the peace and quiet was wonderful!
We have never vacationed during Christmas before. This was a perfect choice. There is LOTS of room in the house. The beds are very comfortable. The owner was very attentive, checked in via text just to make sure all was well and see if there was anything we needed. Fishing, simply from the dock, was fun and rewarding with 5 lb catfish and the largest bluegill I’ve ever seen!
The house was beautiful and comfortable. Very homey, had everything we needed for vacation. Loved my quiet morning coffee on the porch. Beds were very comfortable. I highly recommend the house. Will definitely rent again when we come back this way. Owner was great, answered all our questions quickly, very responsive.
Property is fantastic. Gorgeous views. Large and spacious. Has everything you can think of! We enjoyed our time and will definitely be back.
House was modern and clean inside. Views of the lake are very nice. It is a long trip to any grocery stores or restaurants so plan accordingly. The outside cooking systems should be updated. A simple new charcoal grill would be fine. Drive can be a bit tricky if you have a long boat and tow vehicle. We found the TV controls not the easiest to figure out but owner was most responsive in helping us.
Pristine property right on the banks of the Tennessee River w/ incredible views of the water. Busy boat traffic during the day but fun to watch the activity. My dog had a blast as well! Communication was flawless and the entire stay could not have been more comfortable. We will definitely return!
pleasant weekend, quiet lovely view.
My sisters and I gathered from around the country for a long weekend to celebrate our Mom's birthday. This river location was a very relaxing and restful place to visit and reconnect. As the owner mentions in the listing, the steps down to the dock area are a bit steep, but if that's an issue for you, you don't need to go down there to enjoy the great view of the water from the screened-in patio or kitchen area. There aren't a ton of restaurants nearby, but we had a great cheeseburger at the Geezburger and drove into Rogersville (not too far) to visit the Bloom Winery, where they make local wine and had a great wood-fired pizza (pizza is currently on weekends only due to the process involved to run the pizza oven). Also, in Rogersville is a cool old lodge with a restaurant at the Joe Wheeler State Park-- just drive slowly because we saw at least a lot of deer and even a turtle slowly crossing the road.
Nice place right on the water.
This house has plenty of room! It's on a quiet spot on the lake, only 20 minutes from lots of restaurants in Athens. The view from the deck, the screened-in patio, and the kitchen are wonderful. We would definitely stay here again!
This house is perfect in every way, and the view is truly heavenly. From an awesome walk-in shower to super-soft bedding to a kitchen with everything a chef could appreciate, along with delightful decor and heart-warming personal touches, this house is a true VRBO treasure. Thank you for another lovely stay.
My family and I had a wonderful stay. The owner decorated the house for Christmas. Even had a tree. We all slept comfortably. The lake views were stunning. A big plus is that my (adult Kids) dogs were welcomed. So it truly was a wonderful stay.
Spacious, clean, tons of amenities. Great communication, check in and out were seamless. Loved hanging out in the 3 season porch area. We had to ride out a massive storm but had fun playing ping pong and cards.
House fit all our needs for 2 couples with pets. Host had great communication.
The property is very nice and extremely quiet. Good fishing even without a boat. The property is far enough out to be quiet, but convenient to get to town.
Everything was perfect, the house was clean and the yards were neat. We loved sitting out on the deck to drink our coffee in the mornings
Our visit was so serene on the lake. It was a great rental and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Would definitely come back again!!!
House was absolutely gorgeous. We got to totally relax. Only difficulty was the steps into the lake. The bottom step is under the water, slanted and slimey. It would be helpful to have some sort of grip on it
Lovely house, great amenities, gorgeous sunsets! Matthew was quick to respond to questions we had. I didn't want to leave!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this waterfront home. The home is equipped with everything that you would need. The screened in back porch was our favorite place for our family to gather. The kayaks and the ping pong table was also a hit! The host was a pleasure to work with!
Our family really enjoyed the screened porch and the dock. We paddled about in the kayaks and even the dogs enjoyed swimming in the lake. We grilled out each evening and enjoyed a quiet, restful time. Well-stocked kitchen, excellent beds and fast WiFi.
The house was great! Peaceful, great views, and very helpful owner :) I was on a 2 week stay locally for work and in the middle weekend my family came to visit and we stayed at the lake house. Next time I will try to get the house for my entire stay :)
The owners were great communicating about early check-in and making sure all was ok once we arrived. The check-in process was easy. They also made sure all was well once we checked-in. When I first toured the place I was pleasantly surprised, as I’ve stayed at a few places recently that photographed well, but didn’t meet expectations once we arrived. This place was the opposite. It ended up being more than I expected. If you have pets or kids, there are green spaces they can enjoy on the street side and riverside. The latched screened-in porch is spacious enough to seat 6 comfortably, up to 12, if you have another table. The table in the kitchen seats 6 and guests inside and outside can see each other easily through the kitchen window. There is an additional open area adjacent to the kitchen you could seat more if you had another table. In other words, this place can accommodate a large family, gathering for a meal. The kitchen has your basics and the Big Green Egg grill is large. There’s a large, gas-powered flat griddle outside too. The living room ceilings are high with exposed beams, so it feels spacious. The downstairs shower is huge. Washer and dryer are downstairs. There’s a large master suite with bathroom upstairs, as well as a separate loft bed. There’s a small bedroom downstairs, as well as a large bedroom. The neighborhood is quiet and the river views are nice and peaceful. The place was clean, but not sterile. It felt like the perfect balance of a nice family home with a touch of rustic lake-side charm. We’d definitely rent again for future family reunions. Thanks!
Amazing views awesome host beautiful views will be back for sure highly recommend checking thos place out!!
