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.

Great Location for a quick getaway

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.

Amazing Family Thanksgiving

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.

Relaxing Lakefront Stay

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.
