Great little cabin. Has everything you need for a nice stay at the lake. Cold a/c, good WiFi service too. Could use a little TLC here and there, but good value for the money. Be advised that the stairway to the lake may be a strenuous hike for some people. Was no problem for us, but little kids and older folks may not do well on it. We enjoyed our stay and the host was easy to deal with. Satisfied customer.

The cabin was cozy and fun. The ceiling fan operation was confusing. It also needs a good dusting.The stairs to the lake were well maintained. It would be a fun place hang out at. We had a wedding so couldn't really enjoy the dock.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
The cabin was fine for the price but with some major cleanliness issues: mold on shower head, bugs in shower, mildew on blankets, etc. Our group only stayed there 2 nights so we did not mind those issues for the price of the cabin and planned to discuss them with the host when we got home. The lake is super nice and the dock had lots of space. It was overall a subpar-good experience until we were scammed with 300 added cleaning fees for damages/messes we did not create and had to spend hours of our drive home on the phone with the host/VRBO disputing the claims.

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 9, 2026
We are a five star host with well over 100 stays and no problems noted from anyone prior to this guest. Everything was noted to be great and the guest thanked us for allowing them to stay. These complaints only arose when we reached out for an additional cleaning fee for the damage caused by the guests to our rental including grease down our kitchen sink, a door knob completely unattached from our door, and bodily fluids left on the floor of our loft that my cleaner should never have to deal with. I’m going to chalk this one up to immature teenage guests with no respect for property. This guest will not be staying with us again. We still have not been made whole for the damages. We hope that this one guest does not tarnish our reputation as a clean and well priced beautiful tiny cabin on the lake. The ratings speak for themselves.

We are a family of four with deep roots in Cullman County and the Smith Lake area. We enjoy the fact that we are close enough to everything while still being far enough away to sit back and relax!

Why they chose this property

There are beautiful westward facing sunset views all year round.

What makes this property unique

Because we are a smaller accommodation, we are afforded the ability to rent at lower rates than the majority of accommodations on Smith Lake
