Spring Brrak Trip

The cabin is on a residential subdivision and is not on the water as the photos imply The neighbors are close enough to touch and the water is through the woods and the path is overgrown. This was entirely too expensive for the town where the cabin is located. We were disappointed

Perfect getaway with the family

My stay at Cushy Lake Frame in Guntersville was absolutely delightful. The location right on the shores of Lake Guntersville provided stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The house was beautifully designed and furnished, with cozy seating areas and a well-equipped kitchen. The bedrooms were comfortable and ensured a restful night's sleep. Overall, it was the perfect lakeside retreat for a serene getaway. Highly recommended.

Cozy A Frame

Booked this A Frame for my son’s World Series tournament. Very cozy and the host was great to deal with ended up having a few minor issues that were taken care of very quickly. If we end in the area in the future we will definitely be booking again! Thanks for a great experience!

Stay here, you will not regret it!

This place is amazing! The pictures don’t do it justice as to how beautiful it is. We had everything we needed and then some. While we didn’t use the kids area, we looked around and it is also lovely and looks so much fun and I can’t wait to bring my kids here to stay! It was peaceful, a quiet neighborhood, and a very short walk to a peaceful setting next to Guntersville lake. Stay here, you will not regret it!

Great Property

This A Frame has a very unique and impressive layout. My family enjoyed the stay very much. The place seemed pretty clean and well-maintained. There was a small malfunction with the upstairs AC, but the management sent someone to fix the issue very quickly. Overall, very satisfied with the stay in this property. However, in order to get to the lakeside, we had to walk through some dense woods. That will be the only downside.

Cozy and Comfortable Place! Highly Recommended!

This place was awesome! Very clean, cute, charming, modern. The beds were comfy. Had lots of extras. Very spacious. Had a great outdoor area and loved the front porch and deck on the back. We loved the walk to the river. We enjoyed it had TVs in all the bedrooms. So many cute details. The loft bed at the very top was so cozy and comfortable. The town was great with lots to do and good places to eat! We just loved this place and would definitely recommend and we will go back!

Peaceful retreat during volleyball travel

This was, hands down, one of our favorite rentals that we've ever booked! The space was clean, fully stocked, and enjoyable to stay in. We were in Guntersville for my daughter's volleyball tournament. And, it was nice to have such a serene environment to come back to after the busy volleyball days. The space comfortably held my family of five, plus mother in law. Also, the host was quick to respond with any questions we had. We highly recommend!

Pure bliss

I haven’t been back home in Guntersville for almost ten years. I was bringing my spouse to explore the beauty that Alabama is. The house exceeded our expectations so much that we have decided we want to build a replica :) Scott was always available for any questions or concerns we may have had. Even helped us decide on places to eat and visit. The little details like the books around the house were such a nice touch. Being able to walk to the lake every morning was my most favorite part. Thank you for insuring that we had the most relaxing stay while we were in your home. We will book again for sure!
