Cabin 102 · The Cove at Doublehead
A home base designed
around the water.
This isn't a hotel room with a lake nearby. It's a lakefront home where the sunset is the main event.
Large west-facing windows frame Wilson Lake throughout the day. Step outside to the oversized porch swing, settle into the outdoor loveseat, walk down to the private dock or gather around the wood-burning fireplace when the evening cools off.
The fully equipped kitchen makes family meals easy—and Walmart+ and Sam's Club can deliver groceries and household essentials directly to the front door.

More than a cabin
Room for everyone
to have a good day.
The Cove at Doublehead is a waterfront community, so the kids can swim and play, the anglers can fish, and everyone can meet back at the cabin for dinner and sunset.

The lake can be
the entire vacation.
Fish at sunrise. Swim after lunch. Bring or arrange a kayak. Grill dinner. Drink coffee at the water's edge. Watch the last light cross the lake.
Or use the cabin as your launch point for Florence, Muscle Shoals, Sheffield and Tuscumbia—four towns packed with music history, architecture, food and Tennessee River character.
