Family Trip

My family stayed for spring break and had a great time. The house is just as described and communication with the owners was excellent. They responded to all my questions and even worked with my husband to find a place to launch our boat and store the trailer. Our kids ranged in ages from 8 to 19 and they all loved it. We played on the rocks, kayaked, and enjoyed the 2-story dock each day. We enjoyed everything about our stay and hope to return next year!

Perfect location for a fishing trip.

We stayed here in March during my son’s school break. The house was immaculately clean and the kitchen had everything I needed to cook with. I even told my husband that I think it’s the cleanest rental we’ve ever stayed at. The lake level was lower, but we expected that since it’s winter/spring. It still has very deep water around the dock and my son was able to fish off of the dock and the shore. It’s a very nice dock and I liked to sit on the upper deck. There were not very many people on the lake while we were there (early March), but I could see how the lake would be bustling with boats once the weather gets warmer. Check-in was easy, communication was good and instructions for checking out of the house were easy as well.

Family Thanksgiving

We had a great stay and enjoyed the house and dock a lot. Luckily I am a planner and brought everything under the sun because there were not a lot of extra supplies (such as dishwasher pods & tp) and there were no seasonings you could use. Some places have at least some basics but this did not. We have stayed at many places and I just bring whatever I think I will need. The Publix in Cullman does deliver which surprised me. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone. The setting was beautiful and quiet.

Birthday weekend

Very nice house and beautiful location. Loved the dock and spent a lot of time there enjoying the great weather. Dock was perfect size for securing and storing my boat. Owner should fix hand rail on deck as it was very wobbly. In addition the bbq grill was covered in grease and caught our burgers on fire the first night. Had to breakdown the grill and clean to use the second night.

We had an amazing long weekend at this property! Super comfortable inside and out! The host was great to work with and helped us get checked in early. Amazing back deck and dock to take in the lake morning, noon, and night. Very quiet neighborhood on one of the best parts of Smith Lake. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful property that never disappoints

This is our third year staying at this perfect lake house. The house description is 100% accurate. The views are beautiful. It is peaceful and relaxing to sit out on the front deck. The boat dock is perfect for hanging out, swimming, and fishing. We brought our jet ski and bass boat this year, and we had a great time out on the lake. I love the location of the house. If you want a great vacation, I highly recommend this lake house.

Gorgeous views of Smith Lake

I saw Smith Lake on the movie, Someone Like You, and told my husband next time we go to Birmingham we must stay here. Smith Lake was even more gorgeous in person! We stay in vacation rentals several times a year and have been to many lake destinations. The views from this house are tremendous pictures cannot capture the true beauty and serenity of this location. The house was immaculately clean and has been very well kept. I spent most of my time relaxing on the covered deck taking in the beauty and quietness of this pristine lake. My husband enjoyed fishing from the kayaks and on the dock and rocks. We flew in from Wyoming so we did stop at Publix and get our groceries. The property is in a remote area there are a couple of small grocery stores and a few restaurants so plan accordingly. We will definitely be coming back!!

Fantastic

We have stayed at multiple rental properties on Smith Lake, and so far this was definitely the best. The house was clean and updated. The 2-story dock was a hit with both kids and adults. The view from the front porch was amazing. The kids enjoyed all the places to jump off and swim. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome

The property was awesome. The home was equipped with everything that we needed. The views were exceptional. The only draw back was we arrived late Friday night and had to go to a public boat launch since we were not able to take the boat to the property and trying to locate the property at night in the water was a little trying. But the host did provide pretty good directions from the boat launch. I would definitely use them again.
