About this house rental

Named for the crystal clear surrounding waters, Emerald Cove is one of the premier rentals available at Lewis Smith Lake. Specifically designed to accommodate multiple families, retreats, and large groups, this home is the perfect setting to relax and unwind.

The home is situated in Brushy Creek in Arley, located at the end of a channel in a cove which provides both beautiful, scenic views and calm waters for easy swimming and kayaking that is uninterrupted by boat wakes (ideal for children!)

PLEASE NOTE: we do NOT allow events such as weddings, etc. Please do not inquire about hosting events at our home.

The space
Featuring 3 different levels, extensive outdoor entertaining spaces, and beautiful views, this 5,000 sq ft lakefront home comfortably hosts and sleeps 20.

Built in 2020, the home has all new amenities and furnishings throughout. The main floor and second floor both have expansive, open concept areas perfect for entertaining and hosting large groups. A third floor living space + second bunk room provides a great area for kids. The home also features extensive outdoor entertaining areas, including a screened porch with gas fireplace, an outdoor kitchen + grill, and a large fire pit situated at the edge of a rock point that looks out on the channel. Unlike many homes at Smith Lake, this house has a gentle slope down to the water- only a few stairs to walk down to reach the dock! Enjoy Bluetooth-connectivity surround sound in both indoor and outdoor spaces that you can use to play music from your phone. On a clear night, stargaze using our Celestron Astromaster telescope.

- Easily accessible concrete parking pad in front of home for multiple vehicles
- Grocery store and local coffee shop only 6 minutes away; Duncan Bridge Marina is 10 minutes from the home
- Please note: while we do typically offer wifi to our guests, there is not extremely fast internet available in our area of the lake and it is not guaranteed to be available (ie, you will likely have difficulty streaming shows, no on-line gaming, but when it is working typical daily web browsing/email/etc should work just fine albeit a bit slow!) As this is a rural area, internet and cell service is NOT always dependable and can take several days to get serviced if it goes down- please take this into account when considering booking at our property!

Our first trip to the lake was a fabulous experience! The house had EVERYTHING and more!! We are a blended family with 5 adult children. They all brought their spouse or significant other and we had plenty of room. We enjoyed cooking family dinners in the well stocked kitchen. We are already planning a trip back next year!

We really enjoyed the house, amenities, and the lake. Great job on the design and layout of the house. Really nice not having too many stairs down to the lake.

Our family gathered for a 6-day reunion at the house. It was perfect for multiple ages and activities. We especially appreciated the wonderfully well-equipped kitchen and pantry, the child safety features on the porch and in the house, the fire pit, and the general comfort of the place! It's clear that the owners use the house and have set it up to be enjoyed by others. We enjoyed the pool table and kayaks. We'd recommend it highly to any group, especially one with older relatives who need to be on one level and small children.

This home was a meet-in-the-middle for our extended family to gather and celebrate our grandfathers 90th birthday! We looked forward to this trip since the spring and it did not disappoint. Our days as the lake were warm for December and the kids enjoyed playing outside so much. We came very prepared to cook for a crowd, but Jessica has stocked this kitchen well!! Even great leftover containers which was so helpful. The gate on the porch was great too for our adventurous toddlers who would have been harder to corral without it. It was wonderful and will be a memory that we’ll treasure. Thanks to Jessica and family for hosting us!
