3 Br Private Vacation Home Vacation Rental In Wedowee, Alabama

Come share my well appointed lake home on a quiet cove. We’re on the south end of Lake Wedowee in Hunter Bend subdivision. Our location keeps us away from holiday and weekend boat traffic. You can feel safe to swim quietly in the deep water off our dock (20 feet deep at the end of the dock during high water, 35 feet deep in the middle of the cove) while only minutes from the main channel, big water and great boating. Lake Wedowee is renowned for it’s fabulously clean water, the result of being created from a deep river channel through rocky terrain. There is no orange staining typical of many southern lakes.

The house faces northeast, and even in hot weather the deck and dock are in the shade most the day, offering cool and pleasant afternoons and evenings, while getting good early and midday sun if you want to tan.

Our cove is residential and has several year round residents. We ask our guests respect the peace and quiet our residents enjoy. PARTIES ARE NOT PERMITTED. (This is NOT the place to have your teen's getaway or a noisy adult party.)

The home has three bedrooms, each with their own full bath. Plus a powder room on the main. The master is on the main and has a King bed. The two lower level bedrooms have two queen beds each. And again, each bedroom has it’s own full bath.

The kitchen comes fully equipped with gas stove, microwave, both a Keurig and drip coffee maker, toaster, and filtered water through the refrigerator, (we’re already on city water, and the quality is excellent). Air Fryer. Crock Pot. There is tons of high quality cookware. Everything you'll need to cook up something special. Plus a stainless steel gas grill. Lots of wine glasses and very good quality dishware.

The house has high speed internet, (20-30 mbps, adequate for streaming TV or Video Conferencing) free wifi, 3 smart TV's. You can log into your favorite viewing apps.

There is a SONOS sound system on the main which includes the main room TV.

The upper deck was completely redone in the Spring of 2022! It has heavy, quality deck chairs and a Weber Genesis stainless steel gas grill. Propane is provided. There are also good quality deck chairs on the gazebo and at the firepit, and extra chairs below the deck.

The dock will handle a good sized boat and has bumpers on two sides. There's a drive-on jetski port to use. There's an easy step swim ladder.

The boat launch is literally across the street. The nearest marina is about 15 minutes away on the water… just past the 48 bridge. They have gas pumps open seven days during the summer months. 6 days in the fall and winter.

Pontoon boats are available for rent through several services.

Town is a 15 minute drive away. There are two grocery stores, a liquor store, and a few other convenience stores. A list of restaurants is included in the brochure we send before a guest arrives.

About Lake Wedowee—

Lake Wedowee, technically “RL Harris Reservoir” was created in the 80’s by Alabama Power. It’s 10,000 acres (1/4 the size of Lake Lanier north of Atlanta or Lake Martin near Montgomery) and was formed from a deep river channel of the Tallapoosa River. The water is very deep, and very clear. At our south end of the lake, hundred foot depths are the norm.

Alabama Power lowers the water level about 8’ starting in early November until late April. It does affect the appearance of the shoreline and the utility of many docks. Our dock remains floating, but the walkway from shore gets quite steep when the water is down. Though the lake in the winter is special. Incredibly quiet and peaceful.

Come join us! We are very flexible with scheduling. First come, first served.
