Enjoyed our stay. The house is great. It would be nice to have more seating in the living room, and an indoor dining table for when it's too hot to eat outside. (We were there in July.) The fenced yard was great for our dog. Will visit again.

The home was spotless and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need to cook. The basement game room was fun. Most of all this is the most dog friendly home we have ever stayed at. My son’s Golden Retriever had a blast. He enjoyed the fenced in yard, the provided toys and bed, and the ramp into the lake. Thanks for sharing your home!

Amazing stay at the lake!

We had such a great time staying at your place on the lake. We really appreciate how dog friendly it was. The fenced in yard, extra dog beds, and dog dock were amazing. Our one dog loves swimming and the dock made it super simple (once he figured it out). The paddle boards were also a lot of fun! I loved the back deck and it was perfect for morning coffee and evening drinks. We definitely would love to stay here again in the future!

Great weekend getaway!

We took a long weekend for our anniversary & this was the perfect little spot! There was road noise that we weren’t expecting but it wasn’t unbearable and certainly didn’t ruin any of our time! We greatly appreciated Les making accommodations for us to bring our boat so we could enjoy the water without having to trailer the boat each night!

Perfect Spot

This home was very clean and looked freshly painted throughout. Having a fully fenced yard gave us peace of mind when we took our dog outside. The bedrooms were HUGE, as were each bathroom and the back porch overlooking the lake was of course our favorite spot! The owner was quick to respond to any questions, and provided bowls and beds and cages (if needed) for my dog. Was located in a great area, close to everything, and even the street it was on was nice to walk our dog every day. Will be returning to Cedar Bluff, and this will always be our first choice.

Pet friendly with fenced front yard easy access to enter the house. House and floors were spotless. Enjoyed darts and foosball downstairs. Webber charcoal grill made us feel at home. Clothes washer was out of order and seating in living room was somewhat uncomfortable. Otherwise would be five star review. We did enjoy the stay!

Lake Stay more than ok

Spent a week on Weiss Lake wth the Mrs and our fur babies. The fishing dock was just part of the great experience. Relaxing and took in how beautiful Alabama is in the country. Any questions or situations there could be, the property manager was ready with an answer. I suggest bring your own boa but there were kayaks and paddle boards at our leisure. The dogs loved the lake as well and te yard was perfect. I would ive an extra 2 or 3 stars if i could but i only get 5. Recomend his many times over!

Such a fun trip!

This listing exceeded all of our expectations. The pictures truly do not do it justice. Both rooms were very large as well as the bathrooms. There was plenty of space to spread out. Also, if you sleep with a fan on like we do, you will be happy to know they have you covered in both rooms. The back porch was wonderful and alot larger than we thought it would be. It also had a gate so that your fur babies can relax out there with you. We had our 3 dogs and they loved every minute of it. The huge fenced in front yard was also a big plus. I loved that you drove into the gated area so you never had to worry about the dogs getting away from you. The host was very responsive and just thought of everything you may need for a great lake experience. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone.
