Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Cozy Waterfront Cabin with Large Pier is an authentic log cabin on the waterfront in Killen (East Florence area), set in the woods along Shoals Creek/Wilson Lake. The standout feature is a large pier designed for lake time and sunset views, with two boat slips and a jet ski lift. The property is smoke-free and positioned as a secluded retreat while still being about 15 minutes from Florence, Alabama.
Cabin layout & sleeping
Inside, the cabin includes a dining room, a spacious kitchen, and a cozy den. The main level has a master bedroom with a king bed and a bathroom. Upstairs, a loft includes a reading nook plus two large bedrooms; each of the upstairs bedrooms has one full-size bed and two twin beds.
Outdoor living & recreation
Outdoor spaces include a multi-level deck for relaxing and grilling, plus a screened-in porch for morning coffee. Water activities are a major draw, with kayaking and fishing available nearby, and the setting is also convenient for area activities like Blackberry Trail Golf Course and Cox Creek Tennis Center. The pier’s boat slips and jet ski lift are geared toward guests who plan to spend time on the lake.
In-cabin amenities
The cabin includes air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, and free parking. The kitchen is equipped for self-catering with an oven/stove and microwave, and there’s also a washer and an ironing board. Outdoor cooking is supported with an outdoor grill, and guests also have balcony/patio space.

The cabin is in the East Florence area with restaurants spread across the surrounding drive-to region, including Shaffer's Happy Hollow Marina (about 3.5 km away) and Bezzito Mexican & Sushi Restaurant (about 6.3 km away). Additional nearby options include Swampers Bar & Grille, TacoSpot, and The Woods at River Road (roughly 11–12 km away). For flights, Northwest Alabama Regional Airport is about 16.9 km away, while Huntsville International Airport is much farther at about 77.3 km.
Best for
This cabin is best for lake-focused getaways—especially families or groups—thanks to its multi-bedroom layout, full kitchen, washer, and large pier with two boat slips plus a jet ski lift. It also suits travelers who want a secluded waterfront setting with outdoor living space (multi-level deck, screened porch, grill) while still being within about 15 minutes of Florence for dining and attractions.
Travel tips
If you’re bringing a boat, plan to use local boat ramps and park at the top of the hill near the road; the driveway is not recommended for pulling boats down. Most dining options are a short drive away, with a marina restaurant (Shaffer's Happy Hollow Marina) among the closest. For air travel, Northwest Alabama Regional Airport is the nearer option compared with Huntsville International Airport.
