Description
Perfectly located on Shoal Creek at the mouth of Wilson Lake, you will find no other like this. With 250' of waist deep water along the seawall that gradually deepens for swimming and fishing, and a large leveled ground with no slopes or steep steps to the water, people of all ages can enjoy themselves wading in the lake while enjoying the company of others on the bank.
We are confident that you will enjoy your time at our totally renovated and updated Shoal Creek Gibbons Home. We are located minutes from town, however you will feel as though you are in your own little world.
If you do decide to venture out on the town for a bit or to tour the beautiful places that Florence and the Shoals area has to offer, you will be pleasantly surprised to find everything and every place within minutes of the house.
We have tried our best to make our home as comfortable and homey for others as we prefer for ourselves. Most any amenity that you may need or want is available.
Having two kitchens, plenty of seating, and an open gathering area, our home is not only great for family outings, fishermen getaways, and vacations but also perfect for wedding receptions, family reunions, baby showers, business meetings, small wedding ceremonies, youth group outings, bridal showers, etc. We will also consider monthly corporate/business stays.

Additional Property Information
The most unique benefit of our home is most definitely its close proximity to the water. The house is literally inches from the water on flat ground! Another specialty would be the near distance to all restaurants, shopping centers, and many attractions that Florence and The Shoals has to offer! And we must not forget the fish - OH, THE FISH! - Many bass, catfish and others...a/k/a: THE BIG ONE...have been reeled in at the house over the years!

About Bobby & Angela Hendrix
We are just a couple of the many family members that have enjoyed this special home on Shoal Creek. Keeping with the open house feel that we have all always known and loved, we made the decision to let others enjoy it too!

Family/Friends gathering
This house was ideal for our vacation. My entire family of 6 with our two golden retrievers and cousins from KY had a great time. The lake house was roomy and clean with everything we needed and more. Both kitchens were very well stocked. There were plenty of linens, towels and all other supplies. The beds were comfortable and all of the TVs worked. The living and kitchen area with the deck made a perfect place for visiting with nice views of the water. it was too cool for kayaking but the kayaks looked nice. I brought my portable fence which allowed the dogs to run free in the yard. They had a blast. The road we were on was a nice place to jog/walk the dogs, too. We also rented the guest house which was equally as nice and roomy. Many of our friends who visited wanted the information on the house for their future vacations. The owners could not have made it easier to rent this house. Check in and out was simple. We will be back.

Perfect Vacation
This is our 7 year out of the past 8 years staying at this fabulous home. The only reason we missed a year was due to the death of a family member. Bobby & Angela wondered what happened when we didn't return that year but completely understood. Anyway this house has everything anyone could want to enjoy the lake and have a perfect peaceful vacation. I cannot say enough about the hospitality that Bobby & Angela always provide. These are 2 of the nicest people that you would want to rent a vacation home from. The amenities in this house are top notch. If you are wanting to stay on the lake for a relaxing and peaceful vacation don't even hesitate to look elsewhere this is the perfect location with perfect hosts. Bobby & Angela thank you so much for southern hospitality over the last 8 years. You'll are the best.

Christmas Family Trip
Our family decided to spend our post Christmas family trip nearby to have a relaxing vacation. My brother and my sister wanted
to take their pets and the guest house were perfect for them. We absolutely enjoyed the view of the lake and loved watching the ducks. The main house and the guest house were really nice, clean and spacious, enough space for everyone. The place is centrally located and near stores and restaurants. The owner is really nice and very helpful. We hope to come
back during the summer. Would definitely recommend this place.

Fishing on Lake Wilson
A group of 10 of us stayed in this house while fishing Lake Wilson and Lake Pickwick. The house and guest house are great, there was plenty of space to park all five trucks with boats and the boat ramp was less then 1/4 mile away. The owners of this house were very accommodating. If you have a group going fishing on Lake Wilson I highly recommend staying here.

Unforgettable Memories
My husband and I traveled to Alabama to get married in March 2019. This house was PERFECT for our wedding party. All the girls were able to stay in the main house and all the guys in the guest house. Upon our arrival the owners had left us a lovely wedding gift. Angie was so accommodating for our needs and she even let us have our guests over for dinner after the wedding ceremony. We were able to make so many unforgettable memories in this home and we are forever grateful!! Highly recommend. The home was beautiful, super clean and comfortable. Has everything you ever need. The owners will go above and beyond for you! We hope to return again soon.

This is a beautiful property run by great owners!!
The main house and guest house are both beautiful, peaceful homes located on property that isn't hard to reach or remote, but feels as if you are out in the country on the lake. We had 8 guests for a retreat, and everything was provided for us in the way of linens, kitchenware, and anything else we needed. The property is beautifully maintained, and we even enjoyed watching two obviously relaxed fisherman slowly floating by in Shoal Creek for awhile.
We came for a quiet retreat, but I can see how this could be a great water recreation site with grilling and family fun as well. The owners are wonderful and were very kind to us, and all of us look forward to coming back when we can. We all highly recommend this rental property! Come watch the birds fly by, fisherman in the distance floating by slowly, sleep in, swim, go out on the water, and make your meals in the awesome kitchens if you like. If we could give them and the property 10 stars we would!

Amazing View With Amenities Galore
Our vacation at the Gibbons Lake House was perfect. We live in Muscle Shoals but usually travel to Smith Lake to gather with family from Arkansas and Georgia. My Mama and Step-Dad are older (83 and 75)- While we love the clear, clean water at Smith Lake, most of the properties are way above the water with steep steps.
This house was PERFECT! You can't get closer to the water and can pull right up to the front door to unload!
House was very clean, stocked with anything we needed and more. While the fish were not biting that much- we loved sitting on the pier for hours laughing, fishing, and even kayaking! We certainly will plan a trip again.
Angela and Bobby are extremely professional and so very kind. The history of the Gibbons Lake House is special.
OH, almost forgot! Our Arkansas family stayed in the Guest House- So very very nice. We only wished we had a longer stay. Never enough time with family:)
Thank you again for a fabulous stay- We look forward to our next getaway.
Jeff, Carla, and Grace Griffin!

GREAT GREAT GREAT!
Home was very clean and had everything we needed and more. Owners were very hospitable and friendly. We were there for a wedding so we’re not able to spend a lot of time at the home but there was beautiful outdoor space, grill(s) available, tv’s in every room (even one of the bathrooms) and overall a fantastic stay. And pet friendly too
