Weekend getaway
Quick last minute getaway for my son's birthday. Cute cabin at Logan Martin Lake/Coosa River. Weather cleared up so the kids (ages 20, 18, and 16 - almost 17) could swim on Saturday. Dogs were allowed, so Rosie could come, too. Had fun playing games, watching movies, and even trying to finish a puzzle. All the pontoon boats were already rented, but we had fun anyway!

Short but sweet!
We loved our stay. We needed a quick family and dog friendly for mornings and nights. This was perfect and cozy. We spent the days hiking the nearby Talladega National Forest and the evenings resting and watching the sunset in the AC with the stunning views! Cooked ourselves breakfast and dinner. Walking the dogs through the neighborhood with the kids, neighbors were nice. Wish we could have stayed for fishing off the dock and spent time on the river. Next time!

Housekeeping Problem
We weren't able to stay the first night of our two night stay due to the place not being cleaned from the previous trip. The owner was excellent in response, however, and we were able to stay on our second night with a refund of the night we missed. Note that it's several flights of stairs to the dock (we didn't attempt it due to the rain), and it only makes sense to pull into the driveway in reverse, and the door is extremely fickle to unlock/lock (give it a little pull). Overall, the home makes for an excellent retreat with many offerings that are appealing. I only wish we had more time to truly enjoy them.

Absolutely terrible. Complete filth.
Host would not respond. We tried to call and email to find the location of the advertised boat launch. No response. We had to launch over by the civic center. The house was absolutely filthy. * Beds not made in back bedroom * Front bedroom bed was made with dirty sheets. * Dirty dishes in full in the dishwasher. * The house looked completely lived in * Bugs so bad in the bathroom we had to keep the door closed * Leak under the bathroom sink with mold * Mousetrap in the kitchen cabinet * Windowsills covered in filth * Cobwebs I could go on and on. The listing could not be more inaccurate. There were no boat cleats, no loungers, no gas grill, no bar height table on the deck, no view of the water, no boat launch, mold, mold, mold. The floors are caving in. Light fixture on the porch falling off. Weeds everywhere. The house is absolutely tiny and should be advertised as a tiny home. We gave the owner an opportunity to respond to our request for a partial refund and still nothing.

Good Stay Overall
This was a great place to be able to take my pup to stay! The sunsets were beautiful. I didn’t love the number of steps to walk up and down to get to the lake and it’s steep and hard to walk up and down. It’s a very small cottage and smaller than what it looks like in the pictures on the listing. The check in process was great.

Quaint lodging upon the lake...the bathroom little cramped because of the placement of the stackable W/D. The view of the lake was awesome. It was too cold and rainy the weekend we were the enjoy the deck.

Love the house, love the river!
This is a great little house, great location, easy access. It is very stocked & definitely pup friendly - we really appreciated the dog bed! We were able to rent a pontoon boat, so we had an amazing day on the river/lake. - which has a GOAT ISLAND AND A PIRATE ISLAND - too fun! We went to Majestic Caverns ( formerly DeSoto Caverns) - just a short drive away and well worth the price of admission! Great little vacay was had by all - thank you so much!

Well thought out on staying there. Loved everything. The stairs to the water is not a easy thing to do. But the view from the deck was wonderful. Just what we wanted.

Nice lake house…
This cozy lake house is perfect for a small family. Beautiful view off the deck. Nice touches like games and fishing rods. Not luxurious but very comfortable and clean. Do be aware that although there is a charcoal grill, there is not a gas grill. Would gladly stay there again!

Nice little cabin
Perfect cabin for a nice relaxing weekend with the dogs. Even with rain all day Saturday was still very nice. Be prepared for a workout going to the dock and back, lots of steps! Could not ask for much more. Great communication from the owner!

Fun little lake spot
Kelly was a very receptive host! The little house is perfect for two couples. There is a great Firepit overlooking the lake that we used a lot. The deck on the water is great, we had friends dock their large pontoon boat just fine to pick us up. I will say the trek up and down the property is not for the faint of heart. So only rent if you are in decent shape or don’t plan to utilize the lake. The house itself had everything we needed. I would suggest few updates like newer bath towels and cooking pans. There is a definite need for lighting outside on the cement stairs, and down to the dock. It was too dangerous to use after dark. Other than that, we had a blast, played the board games, corn hole and used the small grill. Tons of fun! Would definitely rent again!
