About this house rental
Welcome to our retreat on the main channel of Smith Lake, Alabama! With 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and a prime location, this is the perfect destination for your short-term getaway.
The open-concept living area and lovely upstairs porch boast beautiful views of the lake, allowing you to unwind while gazing at the water. The fully equipped kitchen offers modern appliances, making it a breeze to prepare delicious meals during your stay. An additional downstairs living area provides expanded space for the family to gather or an additional play area for the kids.
Each of the 4 bedrooms has been thoughtfully designed to provide a comfortable and serene atmosphere. You will sleep in plush beds, surrounded by tasteful decor and ample storage space for your belongings. Blackout shades and curtains will ensure you get the rest you need to enjoy each day of your stay. Each bedroom has a bathroom, so there's no need to worry about sharing facilities.
One of the highlights of this lake house is its deep water access, perfect for avid boaters and water enthusiasts. A spacious two-story dock allows plenty of room for sunbathing, swimming, and simply enjoying the water. The swim deck and swim ladder, as well as provided kayaks and paddle boards, allow the kids and kids-at-heart hours of fun in the water. There is one slip available within the boat dock if you would like to bring your own boat or rental. 4 adult life jackets and 1 child life jacket are provided.
A favorite feature of the house is the breathtaking sunsets, creating an unforgettable backdrop for evening gatherings. A well-stocked puzzle and game closet, and foosball table will allow you to have some family fun as you unwind from a busy day on the lake.
For eco-conscious travelers, we have a dedicated electric vehicle (Tesla) charger on-site, allowing you to easily charge your electric car and explore the local area with peace of mind. For other EVs, just bring your 50 amp cable or adapter.
Smith Lake and this home have provided our family with many memories and have allowed us to get away from the stress and pressure of life, giving us a wonderful, healing retreat. We are happy to share this space with others and know you will experience similar peace and relaxation here.

We had two families with several kids staying at this house. Having the lower level for all of the kids to hang out and play was a huge bonus! The house and grounds were absolutely amazing! The house was also very well stocked with things like pots and pans and seasonings. We all enjoyed the two-story pier, kayaks, and paddle boards. The owner was very responsive and gave us several recommendations of fun things for our families to do on the water. We will definitely book this house again when we come back to Smith Lake!!

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this beautiful lake side home. The home has everything you need to have a relaxing vacation. The kitchen is well equipped to prepare meals, which we did for most of our stay. The boys loved using the outdoor Blackstone griddle. We all enjoyed swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and floating on the large mat. The host promptly replied to any questions I had. The family all agreed that the house was the best one yet on Smith Lake and we can't wait to return!

We stayed here for three nights over Memorial Day weekend because our son was getting married at the Barn at Smith Lake. This property was 10 minutes away and was so perfect. We had a few other family and friends staying with us and we all agreed it was an amazing property. The entire property was super clean. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with utensils, basic spices, pots and pans, and a tea selection. Every time I would think "I wonder if they have...", I would find it. Although we were very busy with the wedding, several in our party found time to swim and to make use of the paddleboards. We had a simply lovely time and are thinking of renting it in the future "just for fun". Britney was a fabulous host and responded promptly any time we had a question. I highly recommend her and this property.

Beautiful location!!! We had family in for my son's wedding at The Barn. This was a perfect spot. We had 10 people; Aunts, Uncles, and other family from Chicago and New York who stayed and there was plenty of space for all. Also, this was only 3 miles from the venue.
The house layout was spacious and everything very accessible to all. The porches and patio afforded gorgeous views of the lake and landscape. We would, definitely, stay again.
Thank you for allowing to stay in your beautiful home.

Great location on Smith Lake. Near Trident Marina. We brought our boat as there is an open dock slip with the house. Not a steep drop from the house to the dock, which is two-story. At the dock, amenities from kayaks to SUP boards. House has an open plan, with many amenities and modern appliances. Absolutely would not hesitate to stay again.
Owners very responsive to any inquiries during our stay.

This home was absolutely perfect to celebrate the end of summer and treat our son to a long weekend with his close friends before school starts.
To say the home comes well equipped is an understatement. The kitchen set-up was so convenient with a large table that set 8 and oversized island with comfortable seating for more. The kitchen is spacious and made all the cooking we did more fun. We bring everything with us to cook but inevitably you forget something and the nicely stocked spice cabinet came in handy in a pinch. The Blackstone was a great touch and we certainly used the charcoal grill - both cleaned and ready for use.
The four bedrooms were spacious each with their own bathroom and extra blankets and plenty of towels were provided. There is also a half bath in the living area which was convenient. The boys enjoyed the foosball table in the downstairs area that also has sofas and a TV which allowed a place for them to hang out.
The paddleboards and kayaks were a great addition and we had room for our rental boat to dock.
Wonderful sunset views made each night special.
The home is very clean, nicely decorated and all the furnishings are new. The porch had nice seating, too - very comfy and there's also a table and chairs if you wanted to have a meal out there.
The host is responsive and easy to communicate with - she responded nearly instantly! Very welcoming!
We had a great time and would most certainly rent this home again!
