Lake view, boat launch, fishing, hiking, bald eagles, shopping and restaurants


GUEST ACCESS - The front door has a keyless entry. You will be given the code prior to your arrival.

THE SPACE
Three separate themed bedrooms give a nod to the history of the cottage and will accommodate two people in each room. Bedroom 1 is the Fishermen Room because the cottage is on one of the best fishing lakes in the country. It includes a queen size bed, with smart TV, dresser for your clothes, closet for hanging items and phone charger port by each lamp and shelf to store your luggage.
Bedroom 2 is the Vintage Room with memorabilia of the family motel (Lake Shore Motel) that was started in the 1940's on this property. It includes a queen size bed, smart TV, cell phone charger port on each lamp and wardrobe.
Bedroom 3 is the Cherokee Room since the first owners of the property were the Cherokee Indians. It includes two twin beds, cell phone charger port on bedside table, a small desk and closet area.
LIVING/DINING ROOM has a wood burning fireplace with a big screen Smart TV and a cedar desk if you need a work space. The farmhouse dining table accommodates eight.

KITCHEN - There is a full kitchen that will have everything you need to make great meals for family and friends. It includes a full sized fridge, microwave, dishwasher and gas stove. It is fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, utensils, crock pot, George Foreman grill, toaster, mixer and all the essentials to prepare your meals. There are spices, salt/pepper, zip lock bags, etc. It also has a coffee/tea bar made from an upright piano. You can make a pot of coffee or use the K-cups and there is also an electric tea kettle. Assorted coffee, tea and hot chocolate provided. There is space for three to eat at the island in the kitchen.

OUTDOOR SPACE - There is a patio out front to catch those beautiful Lake Guntersville sunsets. The back deck has a large propane grill and griddle with work counter and mini fridge. The outdoor table seats 6 and there is plenty of comfy seating for relaxing. The fire pit has enough wood to get you started and we even provide the ingredients for s'mores! Several outdoor games are provided. Note the cottage is on 431 Hwy which is between the cottage and the lake. Keep an eye on the little kiddos.

HOUSE RULES - You must be 25 years old to rent the cottage. If you plan on having more that 6 guests it must be pre-approved. There is no smoking or vaping inside the cottage. In an effort to conserve energy please do not leave exterior doors open. Most importantly you are to relax and have fun!

HISTORY - The little cottage with a lot of history has undergone a year long complete remodel and update to ensure a comfortable stay for families and friends. This building was built in the late 1940's as a restaurant for the Lake Shore Motel owned by our grandparents. The building has had many popular restaurants in it and other businesses including a tackle shop.

This is a year round get away. Bring your boat (or rent one) and enjoy beautiful Guntersville Lake, known as Playground of the South. You can fish from the shore, boat or on many of the public piers around. Take leisurely strolls on the walking trails at the edge of the lake or hike the trails behind the cottage around the island. Only 1 mile away offers City Harbor with restaurants, Levi's bar, Home Re-Decor and a cigar bar. Downtown has Moody Brews Coffee Shop, Downtown 412 bar, restaurants, shops, Fants and Bakers on Main (where Judy and Mary sell their custom furniture), The Rock House Eatery, Museum and much more. There are golf courses near by, dinner cruises and free concerts in the park spring and fall. Cathedral Caverns is just a short drive from the cottage.
We offer 2 rentals on the island. The other is Lake Shore Cabin (510678) if you need additional space.

Nice place across from the boat ramp, close to town
Great place, everything was easy. Would not recommend for little kids or pets as the front yard sits right on Hwy 431 and cars are doing 60mph+ out front. Less than a mile to the waterfront shops/restaurants and downtown.

Home away from home.
We chose the setting because it was centrally located to our various family members. It was a pleasant surprise! The history is fascinating, the cleanliness was superb. We spent minimal time in the house but enjoyed every moment there. Kitchen and bathroom supplies were plentiful. We were 4 cousins celebrating our uncle’s 90th birthday. We each decided we would meet there again for every birthday he is blessed to celebrate!

FANTASTIC FAMILY SPACE
This place was perfect for our family. Three generations. The place is impeccably clean and the kitchen is well appointed with everything you could ever need. Mary even throws in hot chocolate with marshmallows which our grandson had every day. He also ate the entire loaf of friendship bread Mary had baked for us (we did get one bite each). It is so delicious and was a welcomed gift. The coffee/tea "piano" bar is a piece of art that Mary and her sister created for the place. As a matter of fact, there were many hand made pieces of furniture and art there. As well as photos and memorabilia from the early days of the building as a cafe, then a bait shop. We were fascinated by the history. The beds are super comfortable with great linens. There are 2 toilet rooms. One with the only shower. The sink is outside and this arrangement worked great for our family. There is also a full size washer & dryer which is much appreciated. If there was one negative for us, it was the noise from the highway which is literally right outside the front door. Mary has added a sound machine in the bedroom closest to the front which we used and it worked great for us. We had no problem sleeping. But it is something to consider. The proximity to the highway also means it is super convenient to downtown and right across from the boat launch area. There is an awesome area out back with a fire pit, grill and even a small frig. for drinks. Such a perfect place to unwind and relax.

Cozy, Clean, and Comfortable
My only con to the stay was the noise of the highway and it being so close. The trucks are extremely loud at night and the sound comes through the doors rather effortlessly. Other than that the view was great and the rooms were comfortable. Everything was clean and new and, although we didnt use it, the kitchen had every tool we would have needed had we decided to cook which we were pleased to see for possible future visits with more people. The memorabilia in the rooms and on the was was a nice touch to really feel and see the history of the building and area. We were pleased with the comfortable stay and the pleasant amenities and thank you for allowing us to visit.
