Rustic Mountain Lakefront Cottage

Get away from it all at our rustic mountain lake front cottage on Pine Island Circle. Spacious, wooded and VERY private lot, long circular driveway great for lots of parking and stone path from house to water and a large boat dock. Renovated and updated bathroom. Large boat dock for lounge chairs, tying up three to four boats (with electrical outlet to charge batteries). GREAT fishing spot on Pine Island where many fishing tournaments have been won!
WIFI and Cable TV.
Large wooden deck with built-in seating and 15 foot long picnic table. Adjoining patio has charcoal grill, picnic table and fire pit. We are at the center of a quiet bay which opens into the main channel of Guntersville Lake. Easy access to nearby public launches on either side of property 2 miles away including Waterfront Bay Grocery, Tackle and Launch 2 miles down the street. We are located off Highway 79 between Guntersville and Scottsboro.

Go stay at the Rustic Mountain Lakefront Cottage
My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at the Rustic Mountain Lakefront Cottage.The location was perfect and we had an awesome view from inside of the cottage and the outside. Very clean and down home. Loved the decorations. The only thing I did not like was that we couldn't stay longer. The Bishop's were real nice and friendly. If i had a question or couldn't figure something out they were quick to respond and willing to help. I would definitely recommend staying here. We will be renting from the Bishop's in the future. Thank you guys so much for everything. Amy Fetters

Fisherman central
This place was very spacious and close to everything fishing you could dream of. Make sure to bring your own groceries as dollar store has most of what you need but the nearest Walmart or grocery store is a little out of the way. Perfect for any fisherman.

Everything's was just as advertised. We enjoyed the rustic cabin and all it's character! It is an older home with some repairs needed but we overlooked that and had a good time. We would recommend and will plan to come back in the future.

New year weekend
We ran into several issues. Key code did not work and house had dirty linen from previous guest left due to housekeeping was unavailable. We only stayed one night of the two rented. The owner was responsive and refunded the cleaning fee. I understand things happen. We booked another accommodation in Huntsville for the last night due to the condition of the house.

“Rustic Charm”
Let me first say- our stay was great. This property is a perfect budget friendly getaway option to Lake Guntersville. it’s located about 10- 15 min drive from downtown. That said, this property isn’t a 5 star resort. Just make sure to set your expectations accordingly, It’s an older home, older appliances, furniture, etc. I hope you have the opportunity to enjoy this property, as much as we did. The really good- relatively quiet, big yard for kids to play, private boat house area to fish, big back deck area for eating outside. It was decorated for Christmas, straightforward check in and check out process. The not so great- Fireplace doesn’t work.

Peaceful getaway
My first impression was that the place needed a total renovation but once we got settled inside we found a pleasant and cozy home. It could use some updates, but the overall quality of the area and property was well worth the price we paid. Great view and weather which gave us some bald eagle viewings and nice walks.

Really Unique Older Place on the Lake
This place is older than we expected and in need of some TLC. The dock is in disrepair and probably not super safe to hang out on. There's a sunken boat in the boat house and a jetski ready to fall into the lake bolted to the dock. We loved the place though. We watched the heron, a hawk, crazy birds and loved the outdoor space. The neighborhood is wooded and was quiet most of the time. There was one night where a neighbor had a REALLY loud party till almost 2 am and the place next door has a pump or something running 24/7 and it kept us awake with some really loud, strange noises. We thought it was a critter the first night. These are absolutely not the owner's fault though. I would recommend this place to friends.

Stayed last year. Right on the Lake with a boat dock. Large outdoor area. Patio with firepit. Made use of the hammock. House is a little dated but totally functional. We enjoyed our stay again and our friends loved it too.
