The rustic, but up-to-date 13 lake-view cottages (picture to the right) with a capacity of 1-6 people each. They are equipped with a sitting room  with cable TV and DVD player, kitchen, two baths, and two bedrooms with one King bed and two Double beds. The cabins sit nestled near the banks of the Guntersville Reservoir among a forest of pines and hardwoods.  In addition, the 20 chalets, or the hotel's  99 rooms and 13 suites will meet the needs of any vacationer.

No state can boast better fishing than Alabama.  Lake Guntersville has fresh water fish just waiting to take your lure.  How about bass, crappie, brim, catfish, and much, much more.

Guntersville Lake fish habitat includes milfoil and hydrilla weed beds from which big bass explode on topwater baits to the thrill that even the experienced and veteran fisherman will long remember.  Yes, there are boat rental facilities for those who need a boat - from paddle John boats to outboard boats.   Photo of me with a "starter string of bass" for the day in my kayak.

One of the fine guide services in the area is Lee Pitts, 4690 Main Street, Gaylesville, Al.   Phone 256 442-3787. Lee Pitts fishes tournments over 50 days a year, and guides over 150 days per year between competitive fishing events. It cost no more to have a real pro with you as a guide! Lee guides on Neely Henry, Weiss and Guntersville lakes. He has my "Editor's Choice" endorsement.
