Floating Cabin Lake Guntersville Cabin number 118
Enjoy your stay at Lake Guntersville in this floating cabin. 1 bedroom with queen bed and fold out couch in the living area provides room for three guests. With electric fireplace and plenty of space to dock your boat or personal watercrafts, there's no need to ever leave the cabin. It's also a great place to watch the sun rise and set as you fish from your own private deck. If you're looking to dine out, Wintzell's Oyster House is only steps away. Sorry no pets are allowed at the property. Please be aware before booking that it may not be the place for anyone with motion sickness. It is also more of a camping experience than a motel stay. The sewage system is a holding tank, like what is used in a camper or RV. It is pumped daily, but there is the chance of some odors as with any self contained unit. Dishes, bath towels, and cooking utensils are provided for your convenience. The last cabin on the left side.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a stovetop and a microwave.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Dirty and the “facilities” were pretty much unusable.
There were cobwebs hanging from the fans. The towels and blankets were literally just thrown in the cabinets. The dishes were literally piled in the cabinet - glasses, plates, bowls, and paper plates. Nothing even stacked - which would have been beater than the “pile” that you seen when you opened the cabinet. The blankets literally had holes in them. I went to use the toaster oven and was dried food on the tray which had been there for quite a while. The toilet would not flush - didn’t realize that until after the fact! I had communicated with the host that the holding tank evidently needed emptied and he told me a couple times that he was sending someone to take care of it - nobody showed up until I texted the host that we were leaving - a day early from what was paid for because the smell from the toilet not flushing was unbearable. The dock is a lawsuit waiting to happen with water hoses and sewer pipes literally just laying everywhere!. It really was sad! I think the idea is awesome- but the host evidently has no idea of how dirty and unkept everything actually is. I have never written such a bad review. I have stayed in quite a few of “these” - but never one that had so many issues!

Not worth 160$
Floating cabin was fun.
Price high for low amenities.
Cabin not level.
Slight sewage smell.
Dock was covered in trip hazards.
Host never communicated lack of WiFi.
Bed was comfortable.
Hot water very low pressure.
Price would be more appropriate at 80-90$.

Part is the weather, cold. the other part it smells in bedroom. Love the water, but renting the boat is high for folks like us. We did enjoyed the water. If we do it again will have a boat. But thank you for renting it to us.

Sewage
The location is neat, the unit was reasonably clean and had what we needed HOWEVER the SEWAGE SMELL WAS ATROCIOUS. I sent a message to property management about this with no response. Sadly i would not recommend this property.

Spiders
first off, the owner took the unit numbers down, so we weren't sure which one it was. and they were in the prosses of repainting the exterior, it wasn't brown anymore. Spiders was everywhere; inside and out, the floors were dirty, the windows were dirty, and the sewer order was terrible the last night there. The only positive thing I can say is that the towels, linens, toilet and shower seemed clean. Would not recommend. Should not of even accepted its condition upon arrival. Thats my fault.

Bad experience
First of all my husband and I have always wanted to stay in a floating cabin, so I booked it.. we walked in and the cabin reeked of septic. The toilet was not clean, I checked the sheets and found 2 black hairs (should have took pics of all of this) one of the window units didn’t work. I contacted the host and he came and fixed the AC. I showed him the toilet and he cleaned it. We were supposed to stay 4 nights but left a day early, we just wanted to go home. Overall the host was perfect and took care of us. It was the cleaning crew that didn’t do what needed to be done. we just had a bad experience.

Primative accomodations.
Only stayed 4 of 5 days reserved. Vbro needs to review this property. From septic odors to bugs it was not ready to be occupied. Yancy needs a tutorial on housekeeping.
