Common Questions

Everything you need to know before booking

Included — the third and farthest boat slip from shore, at the end of the dock. The slip and electric boat lift are included at no separate charge with every stay, whether or not you bring a boat. Only a capable adult who knows safe boat-lift operation may operate it. No boat information or separate lift request is required to request or book a stay.

The property has year-round deep-water access, and the assigned guest slip and electric lift are included. Water levels and conditions still change, and inclusion does not guarantee that the lift is suitable for a particular boat. Contact us if you need help or have a fit question.

There are 5 public boat ramps within 10 minutes of the property. The closest is at Gunter's Landing, just a few minutes away. You can also launch directly from the boathouse for smaller watercraft.

Yes, we welcome pets that are housebroken, well-behaved indoors, and under control outside. The written quote confirms the nightly pet charge ($15/night for 1 pet or $30/night for up to 3). Guests remain responsible for documented pet damage under the agreement's separate post-stay claim procedure.

Your locked quote and readable guest agreement show the exact cancellation tier. More than 30 days before arrival, a $300 reservation payment is credited toward rent; at 30 days or fewer, the full accepted total is required before confirmation. The stored Square card is for documented post-stay charges only.

Walmart, Publix, and several restaurants are about 10 minutes away in Guntersville. Top of the River and The Rock House are local favorites. There's also a Dollar General just a few minutes from the property.

Mobility-friendly, single-level home with a ramped, step-free front entrance, wide interior doorways, and no interior stairs or difficult thresholds. Bathrooms have grab bars beside the toilets, tub, and showers; the showers have a small step at entry. The lake-facing back porch is two steps below the rear door, and the walkway to the dock has one step before the ramped dock. The property is not represented as ADA-compliant. Please contact us before booking if you need specific measurements or accessibility details.

The single-level home, bunk room, full kitchen, laundry, and one-acre yard can work well for multigenerational families. The lakefront, dock, boathouse, shoreline, fire pit, and grills require active adult supervision, and the property is not a lifeguarded swimming facility. Guests with mobility needs should review the porch, walkway, dock, and shower-entry steps before booking.

Absolutely! The house is perfect for small group retreats. The big kitchen table and open living area give you plenty of workspace, and the house sleeps 9 comfortably. WiFi, a full kitchen for group meals, fireplace, and peaceful lake views make it ideal for crafting weekends, scrapbooking groups, quilting retreats, or remote work getaways. Past guests have loved it for exactly this — especially in winter when rates are lowest and there are no distractions.

Direct booking avoids a guest booking fee and gives you a locked quote and readable agreement. It starts as request-to-book: sending an inquiry or viewing an estimate does not reserve the dates, and confirmation follows only after the required agreement, payment, and limited post-stay card steps are complete.
