Lakeside Chalet on Beautiful Gantt Lake!
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Lakeside Chalet is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom cabin set directly on the water's edge of Gantt Lake in Alabama. The property offers panoramic lake views from three separate deck levels, making it feel like a peaceful private retreat rather than a standard hotel room. It's a smoke-free, kid-friendly space designed for guests who want to unplug and enjoy the water.
Rooms & Layout
The chalet features a cozy one-bedroom layout with a full-size pull-out couch, giving it capacity for a small family or group beyond just a couple. Guests have access to the entire first floor as well as all outdoor porch and deck areas, while the basement is reserved for storage only. Climate control comes via both air conditioning and heating, so the cabin is usable across seasons.
Amenities & Recreation
The unit is equipped with a full kitchen, oven/stove, microwave, cable TV, and free high-speed Wi-Fi, plus a private balcony and patio for outdoor lounging. Outside, guests can choose between two porch swings, a bench, deck-level lounge chairs, or waterside seating to take in the lake. On-site and nearby recreation includes kayaking, pedal boating, fishing, cornhole and other lawn games, and a public boat launch just 0.3 miles away, with pontoon boat rentals available locally.
Dining & Location
While there is no on-site restaurant, guests can self-cater using the full kitchen or head to nearby options like Buckboard Restaurant, just under 4km away, or a wider mix of Southern, seafood, Mexican, and barbecue restaurants within roughly 11-26km. Two regional airports, Montgomery Regional and Dothan Regional, are each about 95-96km from the property, making a car the most practical way to arrive and get around the area.
Best for
This chalet suits couples, families, and small groups seeking a quiet, self-catered lakefront getaway centered on outdoor recreation like kayaking, pedal boating, fishing, and cornhole. Its full kitchen, pull-out couch, free Wi-Fi, and multiple deck levels make it well suited to travelers who want to relax and cook in rather than dine out or stay entertained indoors.
Travel tips
A car is essential, as the nearest airports (Montgomery Regional and Dothan Regional) are each roughly 95-96km away and dining options are spread across a 4-26km radius. Take advantage of the public boat launch just 0.3 miles from the chalet and consider arranging a pontoon boat rental in advance for lake outings. Pack for self-catering since the kitchen is fully equipped, and plan meals around the handful of restaurants within a 15-minute or so drive.
