Clean, well-appointed property and truly a hidden gem. I really enjoyed my stay in Gorham's Bluff. The host was very responsive even when I was having issues with utilizing the lockbox to enter the house. The house was impeccably clean. It was so nice, the bed was super comfy, and I especially loved the gourmet kitchen and the great hot tub. The shower off the master with a seat in it was so fancy. I did not get a chance to use the neighborhood pool as I was there in the fall but it was literally right next door. Lots of great areas for walks like the scenic overlook with great views of the river and gulf, the neighborhood streets with all the cute cottages, and the pond with visiting geese and mallards. This is a great place to visit if you want some place quiet and family friendly, or for solo travel or couples. I think this would do well too for business travelers- there's a nice workspace off the kitchen and the wifi was super speedy. My cat and I got some great walks in during our visit. There is a nice gas grill off the deck but I did not personally use. The host had also added seasonal decorations which was a nice touch.

Beautiful area! Quiet, clean, plenty of towels, toiletries, coffee, kitchen utensils, and television choices (Hulu, Netflix, etc). The hot tub kept running but never got hot so we were bummed. The hot tub was one of the main reasons we booked this particular cottage. Definitely need to get it checked and/or have instructions for this. Also, the gas fireplaces were not working during our stay.This was noted on the information sheet after we checked in.Overall we enjoyed our stay in this quiet, quaint little cottage.

Getaway with a girlfriend for a long weekend. We loved the house, the neighborhood is quiet, peaceful' adorable homes with white picket fences, so Mayberry like and a million view at the end of the road. I slept in the loft and the only complaint is there are no window coverings up there so prepare to wake up with the sun.

The Perfect Getaway

We were looking for a short getaway and we were not disappointed. Clean, cozy cottage in a quiet enclave with everything we needed. It was truly a home away from home. Day trips to Huntsville, Scottsboro and nearby outdoor recreation spots were an easy drive with lazy afternoons at the pool and late night stargazing. This cottage was perfect for our small family!

Mom / Daughter getaway

This is second time we have stayed at Wayward Cottage for our annual Mom / Daughter getaway. We enjoy having the easy access to the pool. It is also so quiet and peaceful. The wifi is strong for me to work remote as needed while we are away. We always visit Unclaimed Baggage while in town and stock up on our airpods and back to school clothes and shoes.

Great cozy Cabin with amazing views close

We stayed here for all the close hiking in the area. We didn’t know how amazing the views would be walking around this neat secluded, relaxing community. The hot tub was awesome. Kitchen came with needed things to prepare meals, the outside gas grill was in great shape. Highly recommend this place, and would stay here again.
