Beautiful wedding venue. Delicious prime rib dinner. The executive chalet with giant soaking tub and fireplace was so cozy. DVD players byo dvds though. They gave us $58 off per night due to jets unable to use in the giant tub. Front desk staff kind and helpful. We used the workout room. Do the Cathedral Caverns nearby. It's fun and gorgeous especially if you love science. It was an ocean hundreds of millions of years ago. Got to see a 400 million year old shark tooth sticking out of the limestone ceiling. So cool.

Fabulous place! Guntersville Lake Park is an absolutely wonderful destination! It’s quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by magical scenery. The views of the lake and rolling hills are breathtaking, and the whole area feels so clean, cozy, and well-kept. What makes it extra special is that it’s not overcrowded, so you can truly relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. It’s the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life – whether you’re looking for some quiet time to yourself, a romantic picnic by the water, or a family day outdoors. The park offers plenty of space to unwind, and the serene atmosphere makes you feel completely recharged. If you’re in Alabama or passing through, Guntersville Lake Park is a hidden gem worth visiting again and again.

This review is for the lodge and room within the state park. The lodge is beautiful, but could definitely use some updates. The carpet in the big venue room needs to be replaced. There wa a shortage of staff while we were there for a work conference. I understand that it’s about to be bought by Hilton. My hope is that this will bring the revenue to upgrade some things. The room I stayed in was sufficient but there were issues: poor lighting, hair dryer didn’t work, stained carpet, etc. But the VIEW from the conference/venue room is incredible! That’s the best part.

This was our first visit and we were impressed. The area is full of beautiful scenery and with much to offer. We stayed in a chalet and was very happy with the views and also the cleanliness. We did book a pet friendly chalet and did not have an issue with smells from previous pets. We visited the beach area- I would recommend bringing water shoes as there are a lot of shells and pebbles and the sand gets hot. Also, bring an umbrella or some type of shade. There is an area at beach to use the restroom and change clothes. No pets are allowed at the beach. There are many trails to hike. There is zip lining but it is a little pricey. The pool at the lodge was great. There is a restaurant at the lodge but it is closed Monday- Wednesday which was the days that we were there. Overall, we had a great time and plan on making this a yearly family vacation since there is much to offer without breaking the bank.
