Great place to stay near Huntsville!

My family stayed here for a week and it was wonderful! We had 4 adults and 2 young children, and absolutely loved the covered patio and outdoor space. The house was just as it looked in the photos. There is a railroad track nearby (my kids loved seeing the trains go by) but it did not cause any disturbances for us. The location was perfect for us as well! We made many trips to the playground down the road, as well as day trips to the rocket museum, Monte Sano state park for hiking, and the railroad museum. We had a great time!

Family spring vacation

Such a relaxing place to stay. Loved the covered porch overlooking the river for reading and chilling. Clean and well stocked. So nice to have a washer and dryer. The only reason I gave the location 4 stars instead of 5 is the daily 6:30 train if anyone would be bothered by that.

Beautiful & Serene,This was a perfect escape after eloping in the mountains! The creek was a peaceful setting for morning coffee and the hot tub was extremely clean and just right for the season. Cathedral Caverns was a skip away and being surrounded by nature was just what the doctor ordered. Minutes away from downtown and a short ride to the lake, perfect place to unplug. Can’t wait to go back!!

Huntsville Fun

A well appointed and peaceful/secluded home. Close to the city and all it has to offer, but removed enough that a dip in the hot tub at the end of the day was pure quiet relaxation.

Home Away from Home

Kelli was a wonderful host. Easy to contact with questions, quick to reply, and so kind. The house was like home away from home. Our kids (5 & 6) settled in immediately. We had plenty of quiet space to rest after a busy Summer. 10/10 would recommend and would stay again.

We were in Huntsville for a wedding. It wasn’t too far out of Huntsville at all. It was conveniently located to restaurants, convenience stores, and dollar stores. It was a great place to stay and very relaxing! Hope to visit again soon.

Returning for Relaxation

This is the second time my family has stayed at the river house and this time we brought some close friends. The property was just as great as the first time we stayed. The location is hard to beat with the tranquility of the country and the close proximity to Huntsville along with several other points of interest. Will definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Time to unwind

My partner and I enjoyed our time at the Vrbo. It was clean, safe, and comfortable. The hosts had done a great job ensuring that the needed items were available for guests and the hot tub was a nice bonus. We were slightly distracted by the trains at night, but running white noise on our computer resolved that issue. Needing to mask noise at night is something we do at home so that's just our normal. We will definitely check to see if it is available the next time we stay in Huntsville.
