À propos de cet hĂ©bergement

Driftwood Retreat on Tennessee River/Pickwick Lake

Time to Relax! This home away from home right on the Tennessee River/ Pickwick Lake is the perfect place to do just that. Enjoy all the water has to offer from fishing and boating to simply watching wildlife and barges go by from the chairs on the pier or the wrap around deck. The 270' of water frontage will give the view of that beautiful sunrise along with space to pull your boat up on shore and swim. We have kayaks and life vests for guests to use with a signed waiver. Whether watching the family in the water on summer days, leaves drift down in the fall, the beautiful American White Pelicans in the winter, or new blooms in the spring, this gem has year round views with a tree house feel.
Inside, you'll be greeted with comfortable furnishings, live plants, wifi and everything else you could possibly need to make yourself right home. The living room has seating for 7 to watch the large flat screen tv or to gather around to play some of the games provided. The kitchen/dining has large windows that bring the outside in! The kitchen is stocked with all the gadgets you need to make a delicious meal to serve on the huge island. Seating for 4 at the table and 3 at the island. There are 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom on the main level all with crisp white linens. All bedrooms are equipped with Smart TV's. The staircase that goes under the huge island (bet you've never seen this) leads to a downstairs bunk room and another full bathroom. Both have doors that go right outside.
The upstairs wrap around deck has an area for grilling, large table that seats 6 and additional seating at the ledge. There are seasonal herbs available for guests to enjoy such as fresh basil, parsley, lavender, rosemary and mint. The other deck area is covered and has a wonderful lounging area with a sofa and two chairs (You'll be hoping for rain, just so you can sit out and listen to it on the metal roof:)) It also has a small table with chairs for morning coffee to watch the sunrise. Morning yoga your thing? A couple of mats are in the basket...
The front yard is perfect for watching sunsets! It has a large circle drive, a fire ring lined with chairs, a couple of hammocks, horseshoes, and a large parking pad. The pad would be the perfect place for a boat. It has electricity and water. There is a courtyard area by the front door for guests to enjoy corn hole, we have that too!

This is an old "Fish Camp" as the former owner called it. We have completely renovated it from bottom to top. We tried to stay true to the original character of the house while bringing all the modern amenities. We have even refinished some of the furniture that was left in the old camp. There are some old fishing lures that were found during the renovation displayed in a shadowbox. A lot of love has gone into this place. It is our vacation home as well as yours.
This is quiet neighborhood on a dead-end road out in the country. There are children that play right in the road. Doby, the neighbor's dog, will more than likely stop by. He is used to getting treats (bottom cabinet in the kitchen), he is very sweet and older. Please use caution while driving. There are a couple of bikes on the property, you are welcome to use them, just put them back in place when you are done with them.
The address is Cherokee, but it is an easy drive to the Shoals. There are gas stations, a grocery store, Dollar General, local pizza place, Subway, liquor store, pharmacy, and even a hardware store within 10 minutes' drive. Along the way to the Shoals, there are lots of attractions, Coon Dog Cemetery, Rattlesnake Saloon, Alabama Music Hall of Fame, etc. There are drawers full of brochures and info to choose from. There is a couple different options if you have a boat to put in the water. We do not have a boat launch on the property. Cane Creek boat ramp and Colbert County Natchez Trace boat ramp are about 10 minutes' drive. But we do have two trailers on the shore you can pull up on while you stay there, use at own risk. We take no responsibility for accidents or injuries incurred on our property. All guests should take caution in or near water. The current can get fast, and children should always be accompanied by an adult than knows how to swim well while in or near the water.
Parties are strictly prohibited, 8 guest MAX on the property at all times!
If you are looking for perfection, this is not the place for you. I do not iron sheets. Everything will be clean and in working order. If you are looking for a place to relax and take the simple beauty that lake life has to offer, this IS the place for you!
We hope that you decide to pick our place to become your place.

Our stay was magical! This cottage is gorgeous, and the owners provided so many extras! The kitchen was truly equipped with everything you could possibly need. The views are amazing, and it’s so quiet and peaceful. Like being in a treehouse. We enjoyed the birds and even saw the beaver, Beatrice! Being able to have our boat there was so wonderful, my husband and I owned a vacation rental property for 21 years, and know what it takes to provide for guests, so do the owners of this wonderful piece of paradise.

Qui vous reçoit ?

Vous ĂȘtes reçu par Jay and Melissa Black

Image de profil de l’hîte
My name is Melissa Black and my husband of 27 years is Jay Black. We live here in the Shoals. I guess we are transplants. We moved here 19 years ago from out of state. We have 3 boys, 1 is a college graduate, 1 is currently attending UNA and 1 is at Shoals Community College. We fell in love with the Shoals area immediately. There are so many things to do, camping, hiking, boating, great restaurants, and can't forget the live music!

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

We have always loved camping near the water. Anytime we camp, we always request to be waterfront. Years ago, we started talking about where we would like to retire. And anywhere with water came up. I am a Realtor. I have shown some amazing houses in the Shoals, but the ones on the water have me 'Wowing" every time! But, we could not afford a big nice house on the water. A neighbor there at lake house works with Jay and told him about it. It was in really bad shape, like REALLY bad! It was a family's "Fish Camp". They had owned it for 50 years. The appraiser said, "You're going to tear this thing down aren't you? All that's any good is the foundation!". We decided to renovate the whole cabin. The renovation started 3/20. Our family has done every bit of the work. Well, except for a little of the gutters and bulldozer work. We have replaced electrical, plumbing, roofing, refinished old furniture, scrubbed light fixtures, and probably dug up 100 bricks from the yard along with lots and lots of other work. Now, we have this beautiful gem that we want share with the world! :)

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

There are so many unique things about this property! First off, it's right on the water! The wildlife is entertaining on its own. If you're sitting on the pier late in the evening, Beatrice the Beaver (Yes, we named it. Not really sure on gender just liked the name) will swim by. If you hear a loud clap noise, it's her letting you know she's there. There is great fishing, we ate catfish last week that our boys caught from the pier. With the treehouse feel from the deck, the squirrels are everywhere! Careful, I think they aim for your head when throwing nuts. Just playing, they only got me twice. We have bought birdhouses locally made and put them out for the birds, there are a lot of birds. The boating is great! There is an island right across from the house! It is Smithsonian Island. We are pretty much right in the middle of Waterloo and Florence marina on the water on Colbert County side. Mulberry Creek is really close, it's a nice paddle in the kayaks.
Another unique feature of this property is the care and thoughtfulness that we have put into every detail to make it feel like a home away from home. From the time you walk in the front door to the time you're sitting down on the pier. We want everyone that stays here to feel at home.
