A PERFECT Family Christmas location!

We booked Robinson’s Roost for our family Christmas vacation! We had 8 adults and five children (ages 5 - 7yrs). The location was great, close to small town Alabama (I highly recommend Payne’s Sandwich Shop in Scottsboro) and on Lake Guntersville!The house gave us plenty of space to congregate and talk and eat and solve puzzles and have Christmas! I was initially concerned that two bathrooms for 13 people would be a problem, but it was not at all!! The house is well equipped, the rooms are quiet and the beds are very comfortable! The owner was also Awesome and very responsive to any questions I had!I highly recommend Robinson’s Roost for your next vacation!

Amazing Family Thanksgiving

The house was perfect for our family to get together and have a wonderful Thanksgiving. The beds were all very comfortable. The porch was perfect for hanging out and playing games with the kids while others watched football in the living room. The kitchen was ideal. We would definitely stay there again.

Our fall fishing trip

Property is located in in a great place on Lake Guntersville. We were there Fishing so we’re very close to boat ramps any direction we wanted to go. There were a total of nine of us. Everyone had a bed plenty of room for cooking and just hanging out. We had a total of four trucks and boats and parking worked out great with no issues. I would definitely recommend this place for fisherman of large groups to stay if you’re in the area.

Relaxing Lakefront Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Robinson's Roost! Plenty of room for us all to spread out. The bedrooms are spacious & comfy. The bathrooms are large. The kitchen had everything we needed. The neighborhood is quiet and the house felt very private. We especially enjoyed the sunroom and the outside spaces. We'd love to stay again when we're in the area.

Excellent house

The house and boat house were excellent! Bedrooms and baths were great, big and roomy! Loved double oven and all the tv's! Owner was great to work with! A/C struggles if cooking in the house but the grills were perfect! Needs a bigger frying pan. Honestly besides the grass in the water, those are only small issues. The snacks, fruit and bathing supplies were a great surprise.

HOLIDAY GET AWAY

This is our second time staying at this location. Wonderful both times. The setup of the is amazing. Room for all. We were spread out but yet still all together. With dinning room right off the sun room and living room we all could be together while doing our own thing. The massive kitchen table was the center of a mean game of dominos, 5 kings, blank slate, euchre and many other games we played while enjoying the view out the windows that surrounded us. Having the grill was a plus and loved the double ovens. This house is set up to entertain a large group. We had 10 adults with us on this last trip. Love going down to the dock and enjoy the view. Thanks for sharing your house. You feel right at home here.

Great Location for a quick getaway

This location is great for fishing and water activities during the season. We had a girls weekend in the fall and drove to Guntersville to shop and for dinner. It was a little to isolated for our purposes but would be good for a family.

Work friends lake weekend

Perfect setting for a girls weekend. The house met all our needs, but could use a good cleaning and some repairs. We enjoyed paddling around the lake. Since we were all adults, we could have used more adult size kayaks. Enjoyed the deck and large dining area. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

Family Retreat

Robinson’s Roost is the perfect place for a large family gathering. Carolyn was so responsive to every question asked. The Roost accommodated all 14 us, with the sun room a great place for the children to play. The fishing off the peer and with the kayaks and canoe was amazing! Our 6 year old gradson caught a 6 lb bass!! The children swam off the boathouse peer even though it was quite grassy. We enjoyed cooking in the well supplied kitchen. All in all a great family retreat!

Awesome memories with family and friends!

Our family surprised my husband and their papa with a weekend at the lake to celebrate his 65th birthday. We had a great weekend playing games inside, fishing, kayaking, canoeing and even tried paddle boarding. We had great food the entire weekend with a crab and shrimp boil on the deck and a birthday cake inside. The house boasted beautiful views of the lake. Will definitely do this again!
