Water Retreat , Robert Trent Jones , Wilson Lake view

Needs a thorough clean and maintenance check This is a great house size and layout for a large group and has an incredible view. However the property needs a thorough cleaning and maintenance work done inside and out - spiderwebs on baseboards, bugs around window frames, mildew in bathrooms, malfunctioning AC, trash left outside, broken outdoor furniture, broken boards on the docks, etc. The size and layout were ideal for what we needed, and it was helpful to have two refrigerators and a big washer/dryer. But we’d need to see thorough maintenance work done before booking again.

Nice stay again Have stayed here 3 or 4 times for group trips - location is ideal. House is nice and well stocked. Starting to need a little maintenance like cleaning the gutters and roof, minor paint to touch up. The cat doors need to be patched up so rodents don’t get in the house.

Not ready for renters There are some good things about this property, but unfortunately, it was not ready to be rented. When we arrived, there were wet, moldy books, strand about the countertops in the kitchen and utility room. The lights in the dining room and the living room were not working and generally a place just wasn’t clean. The host did get back on someone over to the house quickly to clean up the countertops and flip the breaker back on, so that was good. The house is in a great location, has lots of room and a nice dock. Other things of note: none of the deck furniture could be sat on, and most of it had moss and mildew growing on it. The deck needs to be pressure washed. There were light switch covers missing, dead bugs pretty much everywhere, remotes that didn’t work, showerheads that had mold on them, generally just not ready for renters. All these things can be fixed but the place just needed some TLC. We were 4 guys golfing so we just dealt with it, but had our wives been with us we would have not stayed there.

Second time stay My group returned to this home after 3 years. It is a fantastic location for the RTJ golf trail. Plenty of parking, views are exceptional, beds are comfortable and plenty of room for 8-10 men. Unfortunately we had some issues that we chose to delay addressing due to tight schedule until after we checked out. The house could use some TLC to get it back to the shape it was in a few years back. Overall cleanliness, Slow draining showers, and an HVAC tuneup.

Great Getaway in Secluded Muscle Shoals My family and thoroughly appreciated celebrating Labor Day weekend at this waterfront property. Checking in was a breeze and Rafi was reachable for any questions or concerns raised. There were a couple of hiccups during our stay and we communicated our concerns along with recommendations directly during our stay. Chiefly among them was noticeable mold found in some of the bathroom showers and curtains, cobwebs mostly on the porch and decks, and issue with the stove closing and utilizing the dishwasher. It was not necessarily a dealbreaker but these are things the cleaners should be handling before paid guests arrive. Rafi did mention that there is an expected deep clean post-summer though that wasn’t a viable solution during our stay, however. All in all, we would recommend booking this property especially if you want to be secluded near a golf course on the water or plan to be on the water with family.

Disappointing but with killer view This property was the perfect size for our group. However, although the capacity is 12, the kitchen only had nine plates, not enough silverware, three wine glasses, no stock pot for boiling pasta (thankfully I had a friend nearby who loaned us some essentials). The beds in our bedroom were air mattresses. But mostly, the place was not very clean. Cobwebs everywhere—INSIDE. The host made us sign an additional contract that was not even for this property but one he also has in Orange Beach. He was relatively responsive, though. Having a dock for our boat was a plus, but there were rotting boards and warped boards. The grill did not have enough propane-again my friend provided us an extra. We would not stay there again.
