1 wooded acre waterfront perched high among the trees with spectacular sunset views
Deck: dining bar area with water view, Weber gas grill
Kayak launch and rack
Fire pit in front yard
Follow the stairs down to the lake and arrive at the dock with views across the cove. Here you can sit and relax, cast a line for some jumbo bass, launch the kayaks, or read a good book surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature.
Inside:
The cottage boasts an A-frame style that creates a large open area feel and offers plenty of space to cook a gourmet meal, entertain friends, or just relax.
A fully stocked kitchen with a dining area as well as an electric fireplace for those chilly Alabama nights creates the perfect atmosphere to ensure you and your family are nice and toasty.
The kitchen opens to a sun room, offering lake views through the floor-to-ceiling windows. It's the perfect spot to cuddle up with someone special or get lost in a good book on the comfy sofa. For entertainment, there's a 55-inch TV ready for streaming the big game or choosing a movie from our DVD collection.
The main bedroom contains a queen-sized bed. A modular staircase leads to the loft area with a full size bed. Please use caution on the stairs and help small children.
Guests have access to the entire cottage including the fire pit, porch, and grounds, as well as Wifi. Please do not access private storage areas.
There is parking in the front of the house for two cars.
Other things to note
There’s a mile stretch of narrow gravel road leading to the cottage on Kelley Lane that’s in various states of disrepair. Please drive slowly, as there are a few ruts, potholes, hills, and curves. A truck or SUV is preferable, though most cars will be fine.
Please use caution when descending the stairs to the lake, especially at night. There are solar lights on the railing to guide your way.
Park your boat and trailer on the gravel driveway along the fence, or anywhere along the wood line, as long as it’s off the road. Launch at Millie's Marina (formerly Cedar Creek Marina), 5 miles down the road.
Beware that the water in the cove is shallow. Most bass and pontoon boats should have no problem as long as they stay between the white PVC channel markers Alabama Power has placed.
There are many stumps and submerged trees throughout the lake. Please use caution, follow all safety rules and regulations, and boat responsibly.
There is a Dollar General store about 15 minutes away or a Walmart or Piggly Wiggly in town about 25 minutes away.
Please observe quiet hours after 11 pm and before 8 am.
Fires must be attended to at all times.
Please do not move furniture.
Check-out instructions:
-Please wash all dishes, and the grill, if used.
-Take out all garbage to outdoor cans - all trash must be bagged, so it can be transported elsewhere. -Please turn off lights, fans, set original temp on thermostat, and lock all doors. -Please double check for any belongings.
