New to VRBO! Spacious Home with Multiple Porches and Private Dock

The perfect spot for escaping the city and experiencing nature at its finest. Start your day with a cup of coffee or tea on one of the multiple private porches overlooking the lake then head to your private dock to enjoy a day on the water. The house features large bedrooms with king size beds, ensuite bathrooms, and HD TVs; a bunk room big enough to fit all of the kids; and ample common space for your next big family gathering. The hiking trails and rock formations will make you feel like you are staying in the middle of a national park instead of a private house! Minutes away from the nearest marina and only an hour from downtown Huntsville and downtown Birmingham, how could you resist?

  • Final resting place for Brother Joseph, who created the art that is known as Ave Maria Grotto.This is a cemetery of only monks in residence at St. Bernard Abbey. Ave Maria Grotto, in Cullman, Alabama, is a landscaped, 4-acre park in an old quarry on the grounds of St. Bernard Abbey, providing a garden setting for 125 miniature reproductions of some of the most famous religious structures of the world. It was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on February 24, 1976, and to the National Register of Historic Places on January 19, 1984. The stone and concrete models are the work of Brother Joseph Zoettl, a Benedictine monk of St. Bernard's Abbey, who devoted some 50 years to the project, the last three decades (1932 to 1961) almost without interruption. They incorporate discarded building supplies, bricks, marbles, tiles, pipes, sea shells, marbles, plastic animals, costume jewellery, toilet bowl floats and cold cream jars. Born in 1878 in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Brother Joseph was maimed in an accident that left him slightly hunched due to cervical kyphosis. He immigrated to the United States as a teenager, settling in northern Alabama. Soon afterward he began studying at the newly founded Benedictine monastery of St. Bernard, where he took his vows in 1897. Br. Joseph was not allowed to be ordained as a priest, due to the rule of the period that stated any man with a distracting disability could not be ordained a priest. He ran the monastery’s power plant and was, even by a monk's standards, a withdrawn, quiet man. Brother Joseph rarely left Alabama, where he died in 1961.

Fabulous weekend!

The house is spacious, well laid out, inviting, and beautifully decorated. All beds were exceptionally comfortable, and although we didn’t use all tvs, they are all very large, new, and had great speakers. The kitchen had everything you would need, and the host provided multiple thoughtful items such as extra napkins, toiletries, surprise cinnamon rolls, and plenty of trash bags. The lily pad was enjoyable as well! We will definitely be back with the whole family again.

Fabulous house!

We enjoyed every minute at this lake house. It is beautifully designed and laid out. Plenty of room and the kitchen was very well stocked. The decking is gorgeous and brand new and the little fire pit area is perfect for an evening fire with family.

Very spacious and cozy! We had two families of 4 and a grandparent stay the week. We all had plenty personal space. The kids only wanted to be in the fabulous bunk room. Do be aware that there are quite a few stairs to the pier but it is an absolutely beautiful pathway. We loved our time at this home and would definitely stay again!!

Beautiful Property

Our family of grandparents, parents and teenage grandkids thoroughly enjoyed the home. Plenty of room for everyone. Nicely decorated and we loved the abundance of natural light. Great decks and a wonderful fire pit area overlooking the lake. Not to be discouraging, but the stairs to the dock would be quite challenging for anyone with mobility issues. It is a beautiful walkway, but it is quite a hike!For our family, overall it was an amazing home and property!
