Self check-in

Check yourself in with the keypad.
Our new hand crafted Nivendale cabin uses cedar, poplar, oak, pine and driftwood harvested from our 150+ acre lakefront property. The unique rustic mock treehouse design has a large raised deck with an outdoor tree trunk window seat. Set among massive shady trees, it is beautifully furnished. Guests can enjoy our large adjacent campground shoreline with a swimming pier, and boat launch and canoe use at no charge. Recently featured in our local paper, there is no cabin quite like this.

The space
Our Nivendale guest cabin has been custom hand crafted and was purpose built to provide a unique and rustic yet luxurious Lake Guntersville experience. It has striking architecture that has the appearance of a faux treehouse from the front. Many repurposed and recycled materials are used in the decor and all interior trim is “live-edge” cedar. All beds and furnishings are brand new. There is a queen bed in a private bedroom, and two electric adjustable single beds in the main room.
