When my daughter and son-in-law moved, taking my grandchildren 15 hours away by car, this Sweetie (what my grandchildren call me) was distraught. We decided the only way we were going to get together this summer was to meet halfway, which, lucky for us, ended up being Athens, Alabama. This property looked like it would suit our needs and it ended up being perfect. The house was clean and had everything we needed and more. The furniture was comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. The dock and kayaks made it possible to completely enjoy the lake. The swimmers, fishermen, and bird watchers were all equally happy. On top of that, Mark was a fantastic host. And to any Alabama natives reading this, we were blown away by the beauty of your state. We'll be back to Alabama and to this house!
