Gorgeous Lake House on Gantt Lake - Sunset Views
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Gorgeous Lake House on Gantt Lake - Sunset Views is a smoke-free lakefront cottage in Andalusia, Alabama, positioned so the water is visible from the back door, side door, and front windows. The home is designed for easy, immediate lake enjoyment—step out to the veranda, patio, or deck rather than navigating extensive steps. It’s geared to couples or small families and is capped at 4 guests.
Layout & Sleeping
The main level includes a kitchen that runs the length of the house with lake views, plus two bedrooms accessed through barn doors. Sleeping includes one king bed in the main bedroom and two twin beds in the second room, with a full bathroom down the hall and a small sitting area with a TV. A garden-level living room adds a large sectional, club chairs, and a 75-inch Smart TV with big picture windows facing the lake.
Outdoor Space & Lake Access
Outdoor areas include an upper veranda, upper and lower patios, a deck with dining table and chairs, a picnic bench, and lounge seating—set up to take advantage of sunset views. The property includes a dock for fishing (bass, bluegill, catfish, and crappie are noted) and a swim ladder for lake access. A fire pit with a fire ring and seating for four sits on a knoll overlooking the water, and there’s also a two-slip boathouse for watercraft storage.
In-Home Amenities
The house includes air conditioning and heating, free Wi‑Fi, cable TV and Smart TVs for streaming (log into your own accounts), a fireplace, and a washer. The kitchen is equipped with an oven/stove and microwave, and practical extras include an ironing board and a crib. Note: the refrigerator water line is not hooked up; the home provides a Brita pitcher and ice trays.
Parking, Watercraft & Safety Notes
Parking is limited to two cars, with directions to use the carport or a concrete pad; shared easement areas and certain driveway spots are not for parking. Guests are advised not to bring watercraft down the steep driveway; instead, launch at Cypress Landing and use the slip closest to the deck (without the lift), with trailer parking at Cypress Landing for a daily fee. Because water surrounds the property, swimming is at your own risk and children should be closely supervised; it’s also not recommended to go into nearby woods where snakes are common.
Nearby Dining & Airports
For meals out, Buckboard Restaurant is about 3.7 km away, with additional options in and around Andalusia such as David's Catfish House - Andalusia, Big Mike's Steakhouse - Andalusia, River Falls Diner & Market, and Off The Trax Bar & Grill. The nearest major air access points listed are Montgomery Regional Airport and Dothan Regional Airport, both roughly 96 km away.
Best for
This lake house best suits couples and small families who want a quiet, scenery-forward stay with immediate lake access from multiple outdoor areas. It’s particularly appealing for travelers who plan to spend time outdoors—fishing from the dock, relaxing on the deck and patio spaces, and using the fire pit for evenings. With a full kitchen, washer, and strong in-home amenities (Wi‑Fi, Smart TVs), it also works well for longer stays where self-catering matters.
Travel tips
Plan for a driving-based stay: nearby restaurants are several kilometers away and the closest airports listed (Montgomery Regional and Dothan Regional) are about 96 km from the home. Parking on-site is limited to two vehicles and specific areas are off-limits, so coordinate carpooling before arrival. If bringing a boat, launch at Cypress Landing rather than attempting the steep driveway, and note that trailer parking is not available on the property.
What guests say

Families with very young children note the usefulness of having a darker, flexible space near the entry for baby sleep and gear.
