The rustic style, cedar cabin has twelve hundred square feet of living space on the main level and another twelve hundred square feet in the basement. The open floor plan consists of a living room, dining room, kitchen and gas fireplace. There are two new leather sofas in the living room with one that folds out into a queen size bed for additional guests or children. The dining room table seats six and there are two bar stools under the kitchen island next to the table. Next to the dining room table, is a sliding glass door leading out on the deck where you will find a gas grill for grilling and a picnic table for kids.
The kitchen is fully equipped with all of the essentials such as utensils, dishes, glasses and cookware. In addition, many basic necessities such as condiments and other items are provided which are needed for cooking and preparing meals.
From the kitchen and living area down the middle of the house is a hallway and on the left is a door going downstairs to the basement. The basement serves as a rec room with 2 sofas, a stereo, and a television, with sliding glass doors to views of the lake. Also there is table tennis, an air hockey game, and a card table and chairs for playing the many board and card games which are provided for all ages. While the kids can enjoy the many fun activities that this room provides, you can be upstairs preparing a tasty meal or lounging in the living area or one of the bedrooms watching one of the four satellite televisions that the cabin provides.

All bedrooms have luxurious high thread count sheets, feather pillows, as well as alternative down pillows for the allergy prone. You are sure to get a comfortable night’s sleep at the Cozy Cabin!

Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Lewis Smith Lake
Convenient to Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Huntsville and Nashville, Smith Lake has 500 miles of shoreline and is one of the cleanest lakes in the country. Since I work in Birmingham, I wanted a quick drive to a rustic cabin on the lake that I could call my own.
Owner's Map of Lewis Smith Lake
Here I am with my niece, Lula. I have been in health care sales for 11 years. I enjoy big projects, such as renovating houses. After purchasing the cabin last year, I built a new dock with one boat slip and large swimming pier for friends to enjoy. The land has been partially cleared so that a view of the lake can be seen from inside the cabin. More updates/renovations will be coming soon!
