The Place: A cozy, cedar-lined family cottage on Peninsula Lake in Huntsville.

Bragging Rights: The 1,200-square-foot dock has a built-in cabana bar for afternoon brews. Just add Jimmy Buffet music.

Big Selling Point: This cottage is located just across the lake from the popular Deerhurst and Hidden Valley resorts, plus downtown Huntsville is reachable by canoe (though it would be quite a long paddle).

Possible Deal Breaker: So, the décor is a little dated. The (relatively) affordable asking price may leave some room in the buyer’s budget for updates.
