Athens stay
Phillip regularly reached out to ensure we did not need anything to help make stay more enjoyable. Property was as advertised with even greater views of lake then pictures showed in my opinion.

Beautiful lake view
The house was just as pictured. It was very comfortable and the view was amazing! Even though there were houses very close on both sides we never heard or saw anyone. We were able to relax. Drove through beautiful Joe Wheeler Park and saw lots of deer. We also enjoyed visiting Athens and eating there.

What a retreat
Visiting Rogersville Alabama family from our home in North Carolina was a long trek and we were delighted to find this dream just a few miles from them! What views! What quiet! Not only a good visit but a quiet retreat for my husband and I to enjoy coffee in morning and glass of wine at night! Very clean and host was accommodating in every way! Lovely lake views and birds to watch. We will visit again!

Fantastic!
This is one of several VRBO houses we have rented in the area over the years, and I am happy to say this home is at the top of the list. The home and property was exactly as advertised, and every aspect of the trip was great. The view looking out over Wheeler Lake is spectacular. One thing that stood out to me was the very good comfort level of the furniture. This is an aspect of VRBO homes that I'm picky about, as more often than not the furniture is on the lower-end of the comfort and quality spectrum. Not here, the furniture (and all the furnishings) were great! Everybody in our party would gladly rent this property again in the future.

Lovely Lake House
This is our second time staying at the lake house while our kids were at Space Camp. We loved the view, the peace and quiet, and being able to swim everyday. We also enjoyed renting a pontoon boat from nearby Lucy's Marina. It was a wonderful place to relax!

Peace and Quiet
Very nice house and well maintained property!! Plenty of space for the kids to play and not be crowded or noisy. Screened in porch and back deck offered a fantastic view of the river. Dock was great for swimming off and catching fish!! Beds were very comfortable, kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans, dishes and utensils. Would highly recommend staying here if ever in the area. Very easy drive to and from Huntsville

Lovely home.
Great views. Comfortable beds. All the cooking supplies you could need for family meals. Great electric grill. Great supply of towels. Fast response from host when we had trouble with the toilet not filling with water. The only negative thing was the jacuzzi in the loft bedroom spit out dirty particles. We assumed this was from not being used in a while and my daughter thought the ceiling fan needed to be cleaned. We had a great time and there was plenty of room to play games at the lovely table. The wall of windows and closed in porch were my favorite. I enjoyed the sunrise with my coffee each morning and sunset was amazing in the evening. I hope to be coming back soon to this lovely place on the river.

Beautiful lakeside vacation!
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home on Lake Wheeler. The views of the lake from the house and back porch are gorgeous! We loved swimming off the dock. We had great star viewing from the back porch. The beds are very comfortable and we enjoyed using the electric grill. It was very quiet and peaceful. It was a wonderful place to stay!

It was relaxing and pleasant to stay in this adorable lake house. The view was inspiring and we loved the glass wall that overlooks the lake! The owner went above and beyond by having all the cleaning supplies removed from the house to accommodate my allergies! It helped make my stay much more pleasant!
