Pet-Friendly Wilson Lake Hideaway with Dock
Relax with the whole family at our spectacular lake retreat! Plenty to occupy all ages and hobbies. Fish from multi-level dock, launch your boat or jet ski from private launch, swim in the year-round deep water, swing over the water or kayak to the sand bar to hang out! You can also relax on the top deck in our lounge chairs, stay cool under the pergola w/fans or take a break in the hammock or double swing. Play pool, shuffleboard or lawn games. Wind down around the fire pit or in the hot tub!
Four bedroom/Four Bath house on Shoals Creek (an off shoot of Wilson Lake) with amazing outdoor activities. The home has a two level boat house/dock with 2 boat slips, a boat lift, 2 jet ski lifts, and water swing on the bottom level. There is a private boat launch that is only shared with the next door neighbor. The top of the boat house is an incredible relaxation space. Multiple lounge chairs sit under a pergola complete with privacy curtains and fans, beverage cooler and table with chairs. We have 3 kayaks for guest use as well as some fishing poles and gear.
Enjoy the front yard that looks out over the dock and water from the covered front porch, the hammock or 2 person wooden swing.
Gather around the built in firepit and tell family stories as you roast marshmallows or hot dogs. We have multiple roasting sticks for guest use.
Feed the whole family using the Blackstone griddle or gas grill! There are plenty of tables and chairs outside for an amazing picnic. We even have lawn games for all our guests to enjoy.
If the weather isn't cooperating or if you want something to do off the water hang out in the large garage that is air conditioned while watching TV and playing pool or shuffleboard. There is also a full bath in the garage so you can rinse off after you've been in the lake without having to come in the house to do so.
The hot tub is wonderful for soaking your cares away and relaxing those sore muscles after being on the lake.
The screened in back porch is a comfortable place to hang out with rocking chairs, a porch bed swing and dining table. It also has an air conditioner to help with the temps during those hot summer afternoons.
The house itself is comfortable, spacious and has wonderful views of the water.
Gather the whole family in the open living room/kitchen/dining room for a movie night on the big screen TV and snuggle in on the comfy sectional sofa.

Our home is on Shoals Creek, a year-round deep water channel of Wilson Lake. You are about a 20 min. boat ride to the main part of Wilson Lake. We are very close to Blue Hole (you can see it from our dock) which is a sandbar hang out spot for summer fun.
The driveway and private boat launch are shared with our neighbor (the homes used to be owned by the same family). Please do not block access to either and be respectful to our neighbors.
The last .8 of a mile to our house is a dirt road. It is well maintained but in times of lots of rain or bad weather it can have pot holes. We are not responsible or liable for road conditions.
Our home is about a 20 min. drive to the city of Florence where you will find all your major stores and restaurant and fast food establishments.
We are close to Muscle Shoals, Helen Keller birthplace, W.C. Handy Music Festival, Frank Lloyd Wright Rosenbaum House, Wilson Lake Dam (home of incredible bass and catfish fishing), and world class golfing with 2 championship courses as well as other courses nearby.
Please note that our home's centerpiece is its access to nature. Along with the joys of the outdoors comes some downsides and one of those are outdoor bugs. You may see evidence of these creatures around the house. We do have regular pest control as well as mosquito spraying but it cannot take care of everything.
