Charming Home on Fish River - Perfect for your Family!

Nestled among the trees along peaceful Fish River, this hand-crafted home combines rustic charm with state-of-the-art amenities.

Imagine fun-filled days on the river swimming, fishing, bird-watching, relaxing on the two docks, or kayaking. Two adult kayaks and one child kayak are available at the house for your enjoyment. Spend a leisurely afternoon kayaking down the river and perhaps making a stop at Big Daddy's Restaurant for a yummy bite or a sweet tea or a cold beer.

Back at the house, relax on the large covered deck and enjoy the view of boats going by. Up for some games? Try playing in the game room. A selection of board games is also available. Unless of course the comfortable living room couches and television are calling your name after a day of river activities.

As the sun goes down, fire up the grill and indulge in an outdoor feast on the deck or prepare a delicious dinner in the updated kitchen. Kitchen has state-of-the-art appliances and plenty of counter space which make cooking a dream. Plus, there is a spacious eating area next to the kitchen if you prefer to dine outdoors.

Beach towns of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are nearby, as well as the quaint town of Fairhope. Fish River Hideaway is centrally located between Fairhope, Foley, Gulf Shores, and Magnolia Springs.

Hope to see you soon on your next riverfront getaway!

Beautiful, spacious house with lovely view and dock

My son and I came to town for a long weekend and this house was exactly what the doctor ordered. It was clean and well-appointed. The view from the back porch is spectacular, the kayaks were clean and ready to go and the dock was a lovely place to hang out at the end of the day.

Great cabin

The cabin was a cute family home. There is plenty of space. We had 2 adults, 6 kids and a baby and it did not feel cramped. The dock was fantastic. Water toys and kayaks were a nice touch. They even had some popsicles in the freezer for us.

Great weekend stay!

We enjoyed our stay on Fish River and the cabin was perfect for our family! The deck was nice and large and had a peaceful view of the river. The kitchen was nicely stocked with lots of pots and pans and even extras like cooking spray and seasonings which we had forgotten :) There was plenty of parking, and the A/C and heater worked fantastic upstairs and downstairs! Location was perfect- only 20 minutes to downtown Fairhope. Thank you for hosting us!

Staycation

We had a great time! The house has lots of character and has everything you need for playing in the water & enjoying the beautiful property. It was perfect for our crew, because the kids could all stay downstairs together. The gas grill was broken & we couldn't figure out how to turn on the dock lights, but the owner was very responsive and helpful. We are local and we are already planning a moms weekend here!

Fun & Comfortable River Trip on a Budget

We had a fun family get-together at this rental and would stay here again! The house offered plenty of room for our family of six (ages 18-60). We spent most of the time fishing and kayaking on the river, grilled out a couple of nights, and enjoyed the large upper deck and hot tub. We were lucky enough to see two dolphins coming up the river one morning! We also visited Tom Jones Pottery, downtown Fairhope, the Weeks Bay estuary museum, and Jesse's Restaurant in Magnolia Springs during our stay. While there was a musty smell in the house, it wasn't a big deal for us and we brought scented candles after reading other reviews. We did have to purchase some extra necessities from the nearby Dollar General, which was our only big suggestion for improvement. We couldn't find extra trash bags, there were only two dishwasher pods (we needed to run the dishwasher once a day since we cooked a lot), there wasn't a general kitchen cleaner for tidying after cooking (only Windex), and we ran out of toilet paper in the downstairs bathroom. We may bring some extra things from home next time. But overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

The house was awesome! We had a family vacation while I was working a conference. We went up and down the river with both our pontoon boat and kayaks. My family also went to visit the USS Alabama and the maritime museum. Lots of fun.

This was a nice and roomy getaway convenient to our soccer tournament at Foley. I enjoyed hopping in one of the kayaks and paddling around on the Fish River.
