Overview
New UNA Stadium+Wilson Lake Dock+Fish+Sleeps 9 is a smoke-free, kid-friendly waterfront home in East Florence set on a quiet 1-acre lot on Wilson Lake. The property is designed for relaxed lake days with expansive water views, sunshine, and breezes, and it’s positioned for easy access to Florence-area attractions, UNA, and McFarland Park/Pickwick Lake.
Outdoor living & lake access
Outdoor spaces center on the water: a large screened porch with TV and dining for six, a covered grilling porch with bar seating for four, and multiple seating areas overlooking the lake. The private dock includes deep-water covered floating slips (2) suitable for storing a boat, plus a fire-pit gathering area with seating for eight; kayaks and hammocks are part of the stay. Practical boating logistics are a highlight, with covered parking, a turnaround drive, and space to accommodate up to five boat trailers plus extra vehicles.
Inside the home
The home has air conditioning and heating, free Wi‑Fi, cable TV, and laundry with a washer. A kitchen with oven/stove and microwave supports anything from quick breakfasts to full meals, and an ironing board is provided for longer stays. Sleeping is arranged to accommodate up to nine guests, and the layout includes three full bathrooms.
Sleeping & bathrooms (Sleeps 9)
Bedroom 1 has a king bed with a private full bath. Bedroom 2 has a king bed with a private full bath. Bedroom 3 has two twin beds with access to a full hall bath; the living room adds a queen sleeper sofa plus a twin sleeper chair to reach the 9-person capacity.
Location & nearby dining
The home is minutes from the University of North Alabama and Bank Independent Stadium (UNA), and it’s close to McFarland Park/Pickwick and a public marina/boat launch and fuel (4451 Florence Blvd; roughly 2 miles by road or 1/2 mile by water). Nearby restaurants include Hugo’s Mexican Restaurant (about 2.3 km away), Bezzito Mexican & Sushi Restaurant (about 3.2 km), Takumi Ramen & Grill (about 5.7 km), and steakhouse options like Texas Roadhouse (about 6.1 km) and LongHorn Steakhouse (about 6.3 km).

Best for
This property is best for lake-life travelers—boaters, anglers, and groups who want a private dock with deep-water covered slips, plus kayaking, fire-pit nights, and porch lounging with lake views. It also suits UNA game weekends and Florence-area events thanks to its proximity to the University of North Alabama and Bank Independent Stadium, while still offering a quiet, uncrowded waterfront setting.
Travel tips
If you’re bringing a boat, plan to use the nearby public marina/boat launch and fuel at 4451 Florence Blvd (about 2 miles by road) and take advantage of the driveway’s boat-trailer capacity and turnaround area. Dining is mostly a short drive away, with multiple restaurants in the 2–10 km range, so a car is helpful even though Uber pickup is noted as available. For air travel, the closer regional option is Northwest Alabama Regional Airport (about 13.7 km away), while Huntsville International Airport is much farther (about 77.4 km).
