Other Things to Note:
About your hosts:

Thank you for your interest in our cabin! Since 1999, our family has gathered here at The Cove at Doublehead each summer to unwind and just be together. Our daughters are young adults now (our oldest recently got married at The Lodge here at Doublehead!) and have lifelong memories of being here with us, their grandparents, cousin, aunt and uncle. Seasons change and we are grateful to be a part of continuing this family tradition by owning our very own cabin right next door to family. We want to share this blessing by opening up our cabin for others to enjoy, make memories, and begin their own family traditions. When we had to choose a name for our cabin, as hosts we could think of no better name. Welcome to A Family Tradition.

Interaction with Guests:
Please message me with any questions or concerns. I am always available to help!

Family Getaway
Everything was perfect and just as pictured and described. The host reached out to see if anything was needed and to wish us a great stay. This was my parents first vacation in at least 15 years and everything we needed was available at the cabin.

Lake Cabin Retreat
This cabin is set in a gated lakefront community. The cabin was impeccably clean and fully stocked. The beds were so comfortable and we slept peacefully. The furnishings are all updated. The kitchen had a fully stocked coffee bar. Beautiful lakefront deck and fire pit that is steps from the water. We will definitely come back!

Weekend getaway
The property was absolutely wonderful to stay at! We even have the cutest welcome package when we arrived and enjoyed our s’mores over the fire pit! The owners were very good at communicating and super sweet! We were even able to add an extra day last minute since it was open! I would definitely recommend and hopefully be able to return for another getaway soon!

We had an awesome Stay!!
We visited due to my step-daughter’s Wedding and this place was beautifully decorated and in a great location. We enjoyed the lake and the grandkids came over and enjoyed fishing off the the dock. It was very clean and well cared for. The beds were comfy and we had such a good time that we decided to stay another night and the owner accommodated us very quickly. We visit Alabama often because we have family there so we will be back!
