The water level is controlled by TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) but generally fluctuates between 6-7 feet deep at the end of the pier.
Guntersville Lake is known for freshwater sports fishing, especially largemouth bass. Kids from 3-103 enjoy fishing from the dock and are often quite successful. Any given day's catch might include largemouth bass, bream, catfish, crappie or even alligator gar!

Perfect spot for the Bass Fisherman and his friends. Great boat parking and plenty of beds. We will try and book here every time we come back to Guntersville.
This location is great for fishing and water activities during the season. We had a girls weekend in the fall and drove to Guntersville to shop and for dinner. It was a little to isolated for our purposes but would be good for a family.
The house was perfect for our family to get together and have a wonderful Thanksgiving. The beds were all very comfortable. The porch was perfect for hanging out and playing games with the kids while others watched football in the living room. The kitchen was ideal. We would definitely stay there again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Robinson's Roost!
Plenty of room for us all to spread out. The bedrooms are spacious & comfy. The bathrooms are large. The kitchen had everything we needed. The neighborhood is quiet and the house felt very private.
We especially enjoyed the sunroom and the outside spaces.
We'd love to stay again when we're in the area.
Grands, Children and Grandchildren. We greatly enjoyed this place. Beautiful view, fishing, kayaking, plenty of room to enjoy company. This place was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was great for preparing meals. The beds were comfortable. Awesome place. We plan to return for a longer stay and maybe rent a boat.
Great Location! Private but close enough to restaurants/grocery stores. Plenty of room for the 11 of us.
Enjoyed the huge dock, kayaks, rafts!
We had our boat with us. The ramp was close and nice!
Owner very easy to communicate with.
Perfect setting for a girls weekend. The house met all our needs, but could use a good cleaning and some repairs.
We enjoyed paddling around the lake. Since we were all adults, we could have used more adult size kayaks. Enjoyed the deck and large dining area. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.
Property is located in in a great place on Lake Guntersville. We were there Fishing so we’re very close to boat ramps any direction we wanted to go. There were a total of nine of us. Everyone had a bed plenty of room for cooking and just hanging out. We had a total of four trucks and boats and parking worked out great with no issues. I would definitely recommend this place for fisherman of large groups to stay if you’re in the area.
We booked Robinson’s Roost for our family Christmas vacation! We had 8 adults and five children (ages 5 - 7yrs). The location was great, close to small town Alabama (I highly recommend Payne’s Sandwich Shop in Scottsboro) and on Lake Guntersville!The house gave us plenty of space to congregate and talk and eat and solve puzzles and have Christmas! I was initially concerned that two bathrooms for 13 people would be a problem, but it was not at all!! The house is well equipped, the rooms are quiet and the beds are very comfortable! The owner was also Awesome and very responsive to any questions I had!I highly recommend Robinson’s Roost for your next vacation!
The house and boat house were excellent! Bedrooms and baths were great, big and roomy! Loved double oven and all the tv's! Owner was great to work with! A/C struggles if cooking in the house but the grills were perfect! Needs a bigger frying pan. Honestly besides the grass in the water, those are only small issues. The snacks, fruit and bathing supplies were a great surprise.
This is our second time staying at this location. Wonderful both times. The setup of the is amazing. Room for all. We were spread out but yet still all together. With dinning room right off the sun room and living room we all could be together while doing our own thing. The massive kitchen table was the center of a mean game of dominos, 5 kings, blank slate, euchre and many other games we played while enjoying the view out the windows that surrounded us. Having the grill was a plus and loved the double ovens. This house is set up to entertain a large group. We had 10 adults with us on this last trip. Love going down to the dock and enjoy the view. Thanks for sharing your house. You feel right at home here.
This is a beautiful home and we enjoyed our stay very much. The place was very clean and comfortable with plenty of room. Lake was awesome for viewing and swimming. Host is awesome and very accommodating. Will stay again if I am back in the area.
We had a wonderful stay at the Robinson’s Roost! There was plenty of room for our family to spread out, and great areas to hang as a family. The home is completely stocked with everything you could need. We loved fishing from the dock, kayaking, and relaxing with the beautiful lake views. The host was very communicative.
We just got home from a short vacay with our adult children and our grandchildren. This home was simply perfect. It was spacious and bright. It was well appointed and equipped. We spread out and had a comfortable and pleasant experience all around. Oh, and the view was so peaceful. Would definitely return.
Property was clean and as advertised. The host was the most responsive I’ve ever dealt with. Easy to get boat trailer in and out of the drive. Covered boathouse was convenient. My boat stuck out slightly so the roll up door wouldn’t close but my boat is nearly 21’ long.
We were impressed by the comadations that we had we really injoyed the stay and I would highly recommend this this place to anyone
Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2017
