Fantastic
We stayed for about a week, and can’t say enough good things about it. The house and host over exceeded our expectations. Very helpful and attentive host, pool was cleaned and chemical levels checked regularly. They let us know before coming by to do so. House has every amenity you’ll need. No need to bring anything, they have it all! You will be happy you booked this gorgeous and spacious home!

Family Time at its BEST!
We chose this property because it was able to accommodate our large family of 20+. The home is spacious enough to give everyone their own room/bathroom and provides areas for everyone to gather as well. The kitchen is fully stocked with any equipment you need to cook. We fixed every meal together and enjoyed family meals as a group. Each room has its own coffee maker, mini fridge, and snacks. Absolutely perfectly designed. There are tons of games, a pool table, air hockey, amazing outdoor space and equipment for s’mores around the fire pit or fishing off the dock! Communication with the host is flawless and they were always quick to answer any questions or concerns. If you’re looking for a wonderful place in this area, don’t hesitate! Thank you for being the hostess with the mostess :) - The Hay Family.

Beautiful Family Getaway
The Bama Lakeside Retreat is just as advertised! It is a beautiful house on a beautiful property managed expertly by husband and wife, Marc and Kim. The communication throughout the whole process was superb. We had 19 in our family group of three generations and everyone had a great time swimming in the pool, enjoying the swings around the fire pit, fishing off the dock, and taking a jaunt around the lake in the boat and kayak. It was a wonderful vacation home! A few notes for future renters: The kitchen is stocked with any pan/utensil/small appliance that you could possibly want! There are plenty of wonderful plush beach/swim towels for the pool. There are plenty of floats and toys for the pool. The property is listed as not handicapped accessible, but there are only a few steps to get into the main level of the house, and the master suite (Lakeside Suite) is on the main level along with the master bath that does have a hand rail for the toilet. (This was helpful for my mother-in-law that uses a cane.) There are mini fridges in all of the other suites except for the master suite. The Lakeside Suite is the only suite on the main level. The Bama Guest Quarters is in the lower level (along with game room and exit to pool). The other 4 suites are located on the upper level. The Cozy Cottage Suites share a bathroom that is connected to A and also opens to the hallway for access from Cozy Cottage B. There is also an outdoor staircase leading from the main level to the pool area. My mother-in-law can't do stairs very well, but she was able to join us down by the lake by walking along the side yard (with assistance) instead of the stairs. Thanks Kim and Marc for the wonderful stay!

Awesome place
We have used Bama B&B for years and every time they go above and beyond. This rental was superb! Coffee in every room. Snacks and sodas as well. The place is fully stocked with everything you would need to prepare a Thanksgiving Meal for 15! Beautiful grounds and surrounding area for runs/walks. We will be back!
