Great quiet getaway!!!

We loved the really old cabin. It was decorated nicely, had all the amenities we needed, and was located in a secluded area along the water. We brought our dog and 3 children, and had an amazing time playing board games, watching movies, making s’mores around the campfire, and hanging out down on the dock fishing and kayaking. We even rented a boat for the day and had access to the property from the water. We would definitely stay again!!

Beautiful place

This property was tucked away on a wildlife preserve. Very quiet area with a lot of wildlife for observation. The house itself was very old (historic) but well kept. It had all the things you need to enjoy your stay without sacrifice. The property had everything you needed there already, I mean everything! We could have just pack clothing and traveled a lot lighter. A short walk to the pier offered fishing, swimming and kayaking. The surrounding area had everything needed. Shopping, dining and grocery stores were all within a twenty minute drive. With a slightly longer drive you could enjoy a number of beautiful lakes along with hiking trails. We had not one issue accommodating the dog in our everyday activities. We happened to arrive at the property just after a pretty devastating storm passed through. The host and owner (who lives nearby) were extremely accommodating in our every need during our stay. They truly went above and beyond any other property we have visited.

Rustic Little Stay in the woods

Petite, very rustic cabin on lake. All the amenities you would need for a nice stay with touches of U of A charm in the woods. Liked the dock, fully stocked kitchen, soft towels and responsive management team.

Graduation vacation!

We were in Tuscaloosa for my daughter's graduation. The highlight of the weekend was Buzzard's Roost! We had family over after graduation and enjoyed kayaking, had a bonfire, and the kids even swam. I cannot recommend this property enough! It was a slice of heaven on lake Tuscaloosa.
