Kick back, kayak, and explore the lake and the surrounding countryside from the comfort of this charming waterfront cottage hidden among the trees. A place to retreat, reset, realign, and renew your spirit and mind amid the quiet beauty of the Alabama forest and Lay Lake’s magic. Situated in a quiet cove overlooking Lay Lake, Foxhaven Cottage provides the perfect balance of seclusion and comfort while offering ready access to central Alabama beauty. The area is geared for all you outdoor enthusiasts, sportsmen, and those seeking a little downtime. For a nominal fee, we provide kayaks and/or paddle boards that can be launched directly from the property with 100 feet of lake access. For larger groups, we have a second cottage a few doors down that accommodates up to 4 more people. Boaters and fishermen, feel free to park your trailer on the gravel driveway or the grassy area in the front of the cottage. Launch at Millie's Marina (formerly Cedar Creek) just 5 miles down the road. Boat rentals are available at Paradise Cove Marina 45 minutes away. 1 wooded acre waterfront perched high among the trees with spectacular sunset views Deck: dining area water view, Weber gas grill Sitting Porch: on 2 sides of the cottage Dock: stationary with a sitting area Kayak launch and rack Fire pit lakeside Chimenea and fire pit forest side In the front of the cottage, facing the woods is a fire pit as well as a chimenea to take the chill out of those cool nights. Or, you may choose to sit on the porch that runs halfway around the house and enjoy a cool drink or a hot cup of coffee. A spacious deck, nestled among the trees, surrounds the back and provides ample space for dining, grilling, unwinding, and gazing at stunning sunsets overlooking the lake. Follow the stairs down to the lake and arrive at a large dock with views across the cove. Here you can sit and relax, cast a line for some jumbo bass, launch the kayaks, or read a good book surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature. There’s also a lakeside fire pit and seating to enjoy the serenity of the lake. Inside: The cottage boasts an A-frame style that creates a large open area feel and offers plenty of space to cook a gourmet meal, entertain friends, or just relax. A fully stocked kitchen with a dining area as well as an electric fireplace for those chilly Alabama nights creates the perfect atmosphere to ensure you and your family are nice and toasty. The kitchen opens to a large sunroom that looks out over the lake. Cuddle with that special someone or curl up with a good book on the full-sized sofa. A 55-inch TV is available to stream the big game or choose a good movie from an assortment of DVDs. The master bedroom contains a queen-sized bed and a 32-inch smart TV to stream your favorites. There is a full bathroom complete with a tub and shower that contains all the amenities to meet your needs. A winding staircase leads to the loft area. Enjoy the picturesque views of the trees as you lie in the full-size bed large enough to accommodate two adults. Guests have access to the entire cottage including the fire pits, decks, and grounds, as well as Wifi. Please do not access private storage areas. There is parking in the front of the house for two cars. Other things to note There’s a mile stretch of narrow gravel road leading to the cottage on Kelley Lane that’s in various states of disrepair. Please drive slowly, as there are a few ruts, potholes, hills, and curves. A truck or SUV is preferable, though most cars will be fine. Ignore the no-trespassing sign and pass underneath the covered bridge. Please use caution when descending the stairs to the lake, especially at night. Be sure to turn on the dock and deck lights (first switch on the left in the kitchen). There are also solar lights on the railing to guide your way. The spiral staircase to the loft is narrow and will not accommodate persons above 325 lbs. The electric fireplace will be available from late November through April. Park your boat and trailer on the gravel driveway along the fence, or anywhere along the wood line, as long as it’s off the road. Launch at Cedar Creek Marina, 5 miles down the road. Beware that the water in the cove is shallow. Most bass and pontoon boats should have no problem as long as they stay between the white PVC channel markers Alabama Power has placed. There are many stumps and submerged trees throughout the lake. Please use caution, follow all safety rules and regulations, and boat responsibly. There is a Dollar General store about 15 minutes away or a Walmart or Piggly Wiggly in town about 25 minutes away. Please observe quiet hours after 11 pm and before 8 am. Fires must be attended to at all times. Please do not move furniture.
