Beautiful spot!
We had a wonderful time staying at this comfy and cute cabin on beautiful Smith Lake. We enjoyed using the paddle boards to explore the lake and swimming off the dock every day. The cabin was clean and the deck is absolutely fabulous. We would definitely come back anytime!

Absolutely Perfect!
This is a great get-a-way spot. The house was gorgeous and the perfect amount of room for family. The extra paddle boards and water mat were a big hit with the kids. We enjoyed fishing, grilling, game night, and rented a boat nearby for a day! We will definitely be back!! One note, there were some ants on the dock so bring some ant spray.

Nice View of Lake
This is an older property that has been partially updated. The master suite is very. nice but the other areas could use some attention although they were adequate. The dock is large and nice for boats to pull up or swimming off of.

Memorial Day Weekend 2024
We really enjoyed the property. It was very neat and clean with nice amenities. We rented a boat so it was very nice to be able to use the slip to keep the boat. We also enjoyed swimming off the dock and using the float that was there. I would definitely stay at this property again

Clean Place!
It’s a very clean, nice place! Comes equip with just about anything you might forget at home. The boat dock and amenities are great! Also, has enough space in the driveway to park a boat. However, only leaves room for a few more vehicles to park. We have a 20ft. Pontoon in which, took of a lot of the parking area. If you are bringing a boat…I suggest using the sway bridge public concrete ramp. No place to leave a trailer over night. Overall, Great place!!

Nice property and beautiful view of the Lake. The only drawback is that the last mile of road to get to the property can be difficult to navigate.

Relaxing Lake Vacation
Our vacation started off a little rocky when we arrived and the A/C was out. That’s a big deal in Alabama in July. The owner was very responsive and sent a repair man right away. The A/C couldn’t be repaired so a new one was installed the next day. The owner was very helpful and offered us a refund for the sleepless night we had to huddle around fans in the living room. After the A/C was fixed, we had so much fun! The lake was beautiful and relaxing. We grilled and ate in every night. The kitchen was sufficiently stocked with cooking supplies. The bedrooms were comfortable. We would definitely return.

The deck was amazing. 16 month old grandson was contained with no fear of falling down the stairs. Master bedroom and bath are huge and very nice. Screened in porch was a hit with the kids. Stairs not too bad to the lake. Lots of landings and not too steep. Had a great time!
