Key to us selecting this property was a pet friendly neighborhood with lots of options to walk and exercise our dogs. This location was exceptional for that. It borders TVA property with miles of open access with many locations we had to ourselves. The people of Raccoon Creek are very friendly, fun, welcoming and helpful. Most have dogs that are friendly. Being close to the boat ramp with access to the entire Tennessee River and lake Guntersville is a real plus. The house was comfortable, spacious, safe, and stocked with needed items. The area had lots of things to do within a reasonable distance for the person who wants to get out and explore. Restaurants and grocery stores are close by as is ACE hardware and Tractor Supply. Our favorite restaurants are 50 Taters in Scottsboro, Tates BBQ in Scottsboro. Mud Creek BBQ in Hollywood. Paynes in Scottsboro. Hollywood Pizza in Stevenson has excellent pizza but service is poor so call-in and take out your order. Dogwood Golf Course is 20 minutes away and a nice track. Goose Pond in Scottsboro has two courses which are fun to play but more expensive. Amy, the owner is very welcoming, responsive, and caring.
