Oh well
We never actually made it to Alabama as we got really sick over Christmas, so the host got a really nice bonus and super clean renters, lol. I did have to add a day before we got sick and the host was very helpful then but did not speak to me after I told her we could not make it. Oh well, life happens.

Cool Thanksgiving Trip
My family moved from Minnesota to Florida in 2021. We missed the cool crisp air, fall colors and all the beautiful experiences of the Midwest in the fall. We chose Alabama because mother nature isn't as abusive there in November but we got a taste of back home. Beautiful sunrise and set. Woods to roam, bonfires with great conversations and smores for the littles as we all reflected on the beauty and experience of each day. Communication from Amy was immediate and always helpful. You can tell she put so much energy in decorating and making this cabin feel like a home away from home. We will be back!

Fish Camp
Property description is accurate. Coffee pot needs to be replaced. The heat used on the property is ventless gas wall heaters so if you don’t know how to ignite it I would suggest posting instructions on the property. Other than that this is great place to stay for a fishing trip! Secluded and nice and quiet.

Sweet little house, needs a little work though but cute as a button.
The hostess was wonderful, the cutest little house, with amazing views! Even the neighbors were wonderful. We recommend anyone staying there. No doors all through the house except for the master bedroom, but there were no privacy blinds or curtains in the master bedroom window. No doors on the bathrooms either so if you are modest, you might want to reconsider. It was just my husband and two Yorkies, so we stayed in on of the guest rooms that had curtains. We adored the area as well. Sweet home Alabama, just like the song,

Peaceful get away
Cons: The area is rather crowded with homes as it is lake front. Owner is in the process of renovating the property and you can see it will be really nice. Pros: There is enough parking for at least 3 cars if you have a group. There is plenty of space in the living room for everyone to gather to watch sports or talk. There are 2 screened in areas to sit and watch the sunset or drink coffee listening to the sounds of nature. A large outdoor area which is concrete with a big smoker charcoal grill and chairs to sit by a camp fire. We would definitely come again.
