About this property
Relaxing newly-renovated 3/2 lakeside retreat with private dock
Need a relaxing escape into nature while maintaining all the conveniences of home? Want to "get away" from the bustle of the city while being only a stone's throw from civilization? Then this beautiful, newly-renovated 3br/2bth house on Horseshoe Lake II is right for you! Just 9 miles from downtown Huntsville, this lakeside gem is in a wooded, secluded subdivision surrounding a private 51 acre lake of pristine, freshwater with no public lake access (no gas motors allowed)! Homeowners and guests only!
This home sleeps 10 (6 adults, 4 kids), has a very large back deck w/ bbq, a wi-fi connected home office w/ lake view, and a private dock. Sit on the dock's Adirondack chairs sipping coffee, lounge in a hammock with a cocktail, hop on the kayak, fish off the dock or in the rowboat, or just enjoy nature at its finest. No gas motors or jet skis are allowed on the lake (up to 7hp electric trolling motors only) so your peaceful time on the lake won't be disturbed. Then head to downtown Huntsville to enjoy the vibrant town scene and eat at top notch restaurants. Serenity without sacrificing convenience!

The location of the property is absolutely gorgeous. The home was beautiful and clean whenever I needed assistance on any questions I had I was able to get a hold of somebody through the chat immediately with no problems they even checked in the next day just to make sure everything was OK and I didn’t need anything.
We loved the quiet and peaceful view. The property is just as described and the pictures do not come close to the tranquility. We plan on visiting again with my sister and her family. Thanks so much Ronnie!
This is exactly the sort of vacation we needed. Peaceful, quiet & comfortable. My girls now want to spend every weekend here 😊 Ronni as a host was very responsive and helpful. If you are looking to spend quality time on your own next to a private lake, this place is highly recommended
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Our family rented this house to be in the area for our son’s graduation from SHSU. We had family fly in from California and this was the perfect gathering space. Plenty of room, a gorgeous view, opportunities for outdoor activities, and close enough to town so that last minute or forgotten items were easily attainable. We wouldn’t be surprised if once this gem is discovered, it’ll start booking up fast. Take advantage of it now!
Cozy lake house with great amenities, thoughtful touches and relaxing vibe. Sitting on either the deck or dock watching the water was our favorite pastime. Only 15 mins to town/SHSU campus but feels worlds away. Ronni was attentive via text when needed. Will definitely come back. My one suggestion is a tray table to be able to set up a portable workstation in the den to take advantage of the gorgeous view when I absolutely have to get some work done.
We really enjoyed our stay. Great little spot on a small lake. They have 2 kayaks and a little row boat on sight that can be used as well. Very clean and plenty of beds. I would definitely stay again.
My friends and I were in town for the Shred de Roots mountain bike race held at Huntsville State Park. The house was perfect for what we needed and had more to offer than expected. The location is bit out of town which was an initial concern but upon arrival was greeted with the perfect getaway. Quiet, clean, and outdoorsy. That back porch and dock were amazing. Heck, we even grilled outside!! Thank you so much for such an amazing weekend. We will return!
This place was great! The house was nice with plenty of space for 4 of us. You could definitely have more people there and plenty of sleeping space. 2 rooms had queen beds with bunk beds plus a king bed in a different room and the house had 2 bathrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and the living room had a nice tv with comfortable furniture to relax. The lake was low due to a recent drought and we did not catch any fish sadly but enjoyed sitting on the deck at night enjoying the weather and just talking. There was a pier as well and we even used the 2 person boat to paddle around and fish. Word to the wise, do not go too far if the wind picks up, we were adrift at sea and it took a lot of paddling to make it back haha. The communication with the host was quick, easy, and informational. This place gets 5 stars from us and would definitely go back!
