About The Owner

My family moved here 15 years ago from California, we wanted a quieter life style, we chose Guntersville for the beauty of the lakes and mountains. i was house hunting with my sister and her husband for a home for them, we found our lake home but in extreme poor condition, too much work for a move in ready home. I instantly fell in love with the location and the yard, i knew the home would be a project, the property looked like a park on the water, so different from the other surrounding lots, so at that point the idea of a vacation rental came to be, cattscradle comes from the first part of our last name and cradle is self explanatory!

The Owner purchased this house in 2004
Why The Owner chose Guntersville Lake

I instantly loved the property location and the park like yard, flat and family friendly, so many of the lake properties have steep slopes and driveways, this lot is flat and very enjoyable for all activities! The location is just a few minutes from our own home, which makes it very easy for me to meet and open the property myself, or for those who would like to stop by before renting to see if the home will work for their stay, I enjoy meeting the visitors, we have been blessed with wonderful renters, many whom have made this an annual vacation spot!!

What makes this house unique

The homes location is central to many enjoyable ammenities, my favorite are the blacktop walking trails along the waters edge,10 minutes away, if that. also the tennis courts at this location, the recreation center with the wonderful lap pool, kids pool, and large swimming pool with curved slides make a nice change from the lake for the kids or toddlers.Guntersville state park is about 15 minutes drive, also super walmart, and other stores..located in the city limits.

Alll I have to say is AWESOME!!! What a beautiful place Cattscradle was. The house was in perfect condition, the luxuries by the water were great, and the kids loved being able to jump off the pier and swim. We will be coming back!!! The sunset was beautiful and sitting on the top deck just made it even more beautiful!!! We all went home talking about how we were all ready to go back!!! See you next year!!

My friends and I have stayed at Cattscradle many times. The owner takes pride in making her guests comfortable. The location is great. The water is great for swimming and fishing. The new boat house is great for fishing from the dock. The house is decorated very nicely and is very comfortable. It is a quiet peaceful location. It is near the main town of Guntersville so you can do other activities in the area.
We plan to stay here at least once a year.

Magical Vacation

Very fun, clean adult and kid friendly house. We had a great time while we were there. It's so close and you have close access to just about evrything . The rooms are spacious and welcoming. Ample room to fish and swim in the lake. We had a HUGE sandbox to play in. We were able to leave our boat there without worrying about anything happening to it. We had plenty of internet and games that we played....If you're avid football fans like we are, they had a big screen t.v. waiting for us to watch the big games. They had pots, pans, coffee makers, and other utensils, so unless you just like to bring your own stuff there's no need. The owners live close enough to where if there's a problem, they'd be happy enough to come fix it. I have a dog at my house and I asked if it was ok to bring them on my trip next time and the owners said that'd would be fine, but for a small fee. Overall, our stay was amazing and we hope to to come back next year. :D

we wanted to take a winter break for a change, had several friends recommend this lake front house. it was too cold to swim, haha. but we had a wonderful time with friends and family around the stone fireplace in the great room. Had a wonderful selection of cookware, from crock pot, mixer, blender, cork screws, stone ware galore. bedrooms were cozy, new flat screen tvs in bedrooms and a large flat screen in great room, bring wii games, they have one also that we had a blast playing on. state park, eagle watching 10-15 minutes from house, gorgeous sunsets off the pier, love,,loved, the new large outside arbor, with built in benches, we brought charcoal for outdoor grilling, our friends have stayed at this house every summer for the last 6 years, we will be back. thanks so much for sharing this cozy, fun get a way!!! p.s loved all the wildlife and birds that were on the lake.. not sure where to post the star rating, but would give this one a 10 for sure...
