Enjoy a Water Getaway! Book the A-frame now!

NO CABLE, Wi-Fi, or Satellite!! Get Away From It All! Welcome to living A-top of the water and welcome to living A-little small. I would describe this place like a tiny home. If you are tall and don’t do well with tight small spaces, this is NOT the place for you. This adorable A-frame is equipped with everything you should need to enjoy a weekend A-way from it all! It is a two bedroom and one and a half bath with a sleeper sofa. This tiny A-frame sits on two acres in Yellow Creek. If you need to launch anything, Houston recreation area is 4 miles away via road.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Great Quick weekend stay

I fished from the balcony that was awesome, we rented a Pontoon boat at S4 boat rental and we drove it up to the property which has a Dock that was a nice bonus, overall a great stay.

Our Favorite Spot on Smith Lake

This was my 4th stay at this property for our annual Girl's Trip because we LOVE the A-Frame. The beds were comfortable & kitchen had everything we needed. The walk down to the water was super easy & accessible, so we spent all our time on the water. We made friends with the across the way neighbors which made us feel super safe & comfortable. A family of geese even came through every morning. Highly recommend this property!

Beautiful and peaceful

If you are looking for peace and quiet this is your place. We enjoyed the deck and the view of the beautiful clear lake! The cabin is not fancy but it was cozy and comfortable. The worst part is the road to the cabin. Something really needs to be done with it.

A -Frame Smith Lake stay

The cabin was amazing; very clean with everything we needed for our brief stay. A great re-model by the owners. Close to the Sipsey Wilderness/Bankhead National Forest where we enjoyed hiking. We fished off the dock at the cabin and enjoyed the beautiful view of Smith Lake, one of our favorite places to be. Near Chef Troy's Talk of the Town restaurant, very good food and service. Just a suggestion for the owners-you may want to mention the driveway being very steep and rutted. We were in a 4x4 pickup and had no trouble at all, but anyone using a smaller car may bottom out in some spots. Just a heads-up would be worth mentioning. Overall, a fantastic stay! We will certainly be back. Thank you to the owners, great little cabin!

Hidden Gem

The A-frame was cozy and felt like home. Directly on the water, so the view was amazing. Bring your fishing gear!! Also, not having WiFi was a well needed break from our phones that we didn’t know we needed. Loved this place and hope to come back!

Quiet Place on the Lake

The cabin was nice - right on the water. We were close enough to two restaurants that we liked and the hiking we came for. And the hosts were very responsive.

Quaint and quiet!

We loved this cabin! So relaxing. We definitely want to return. Limited cell service… a little bumpy county road, and a steep drive way but all made for a great relaxing getaway! Beautiful, calm mornings in a quiet cove. Perfect for kids to swim and chill. Only a few minutes to Chef Troy’s or lakeshore!

Great trip-just what we were looking for

The property was just as described. It had a fantastic view, wasn’t too crowded and the house was just perfect for us. We loved that it was unique. The only issue we faced was the road down to the house. If we wouldn’t have been in a 4 wheel drive truck I’m not sure we could have made it; although it’s not the fault of the property owners. Just something you need to know if renting it.

Birthday getaway

I absolutely love how this house sits right on the water. We literally fished from the front porch. It was perfect for two people. The county road leading to the driveway is rutted but we made it fine. Once you get to the owner’s property it is a concrete drive. Although steep, it is in good shape. The county road is what could use some work. Overall great location, loved the house, and would definitely stay here again.

Silence

When my Wife and I were looking for a mini vacation, my first words were quiet with maybe a little fishing. If you like the sound of birds and the wind rushing through the trees, you have found your happy place. A most excellent choice for couples with perhaps a small family. We must have missed the whiporwhill season. I was hoping to hear them again. The fishing on Smith is always a gamble so prepare to catch a ton or none. The surroundings are top notch! Silence.....ahhhh!

Great place on the water

We had a great short trip. The only issue was being unsure when we arrive to the dirt road if we were in the right location. The dirt road looked like a dead end. We finally decided to go forward and then could see the road continued down to the lake. We would recommend this look spot to others. We needed a day away from cell phones and email so no Wi-Fi was fine with us. Plus the view from the deck was perfect.
