We had a great time at "My Happy Place"! The gem was the dock which was where we spent the most of our time. We enjoyed the location in a little cove so it wasn't too busy in this area. Host had great communication! Thanks for sharing your place with us!

A lovely location and a great place for a lake vacation! Large house with enough room for all. Large den with 5 beds, as well as three bedrooms on the upper floors. And three bathrooms means no waiting in line. All the amenities you need, and some you did not think of. A huge dock for all of the water activities, a swimming platform, a canoe, a lillypad, jetski slips, boat slips, life jackets, plenty of seating, and a beautiful view. There was a flurry of activity on the lake over the weekend, but it was nearly empty and very peaceful during the week. The dock is about four flights of stairs down (and up), so plan accordingly. The aluminum dock gets quite hot in the sun. There is always shade, but not on the swimming platform mid-day. There is wildlife (wasps, mosquitoes), but that's nature!

Wonderful property! Check in was easy and property is exactly as pictured. Loved the screened porch area and the dock. We had some amazing sunsets at the dock too! All the beds and furniture were very comfortable as well.

By far the best VRBO or travel stay by far! Sondra is so responsive answering any questions whether about property or local area. Property is beautiful, spacious and scenic. So relaxing with view of lake and huge double decker private boat dock. We spent almost two months during holiday season there while vending at the Cullman Christkindl Market. Sondra's Happy Place definitely made our holiday season away from home special. We were there for our anniversary, Thanksgiving, birthday, Christmas and New Years while working the event. Great to be able to go after market and relax by firepit or sit on porch and view the lake while relaxing with a drink to unwind! Thank you Sondra so much !!

Your family was a pleasure during your stay. You went above and beyond during your stay to take care and enjoy my home. I hope this will be a yearly thing.

4th of July vacation

Our family rents a place on the lake every year and this year exceeded our expectations. The host was amazing to work with, super responsive and helpful. The house was very comfortable and clean for our large group. The boat dock was the favorite, two stories and lots of lake fun!!! Plenty of parking spaces and convenient to a Dollar General for any forgotten items. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Sondra

Host profile image
I am from this area growing up on Smith Lake. I presently live about an hour away but have local people that help with the turn over of guest, cleanings and any unforeseen emergencies.
I am an avid travel so I know what I expect out of a yearly vacation or just a quick weekend getaway.

Why they chose this property

I have multiple friends that also live on this side of the lake. Trident marina is less than 10 minutes by car from My Happy Place. They have multiple events through out the year with incredible food and alcoholic drinks and occasional bands during warmer months.

What makes this property unique

The house is very cozy and cute. There is enough room for the adults to have their own tv, bedrooms, and even their own covered screen porch while the kids have their own floor including a den with Tv, bunk room and outdoor space to play corn hole or sit by the fire pit.
