Great neighborhood. Immaculate home! ##### Susan L. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reagan M. 9 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Place We were absolutely blown away by this house & the hospitality of the owners, Keith & Cindy. They gave us tons of information leading up to our arrival. We walked in to a lovely fresh smell, and an incredible charcuterie box, card and balloons the hosts left for the 50th birthday we were there to celebrate! This house is very inviting, beautifully decorated and has everything you need to cook in the kitchen. The bedding and beds were amazingly comfortable, the property was quiet with sounds of nature and most importantly SO clean! It was a perfect, quiet, serene location that served as our home base as we explored the local areas and it was an easy drive to Talladega for the NASCAR race. If we ever find ourselves back in this area we will definitely stay again! ##### Reagan M. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Gina B. 24 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Home & Great Amenities The listing doesn't do justice to HOW NICE THIS PROPERTY IS! This is no "builder's grade" vacation home. It was more like renting a friend's place. The cove location on the lake is also a plus and it was easy to get to Auburn for the game. The amenities were exceptional - the hosts have thought of everything! I will say to definitely CONSIDER THE POSSIBLITY OF EXCEEDING THE 6 PERSON GUEST LIMIT. YOU WILL BE CHARGED AN EXTRA FEE ($50/night/person) FOR EVERY NIGHT AND EVERY PERSON WHO STAYS AT THE PROPERTY. ##### Gina B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024
