About this property

Keepin' It Reel: Waterfront, 2-Slip Boathouse, EV, Tankless, Park 5 Boats

Charming, newly renovated 2,000 sq ft lake home in the peaceful Point of Pines neighborhood. Just a short walk down the yard takes you to the water, where you’ll enjoy a private boathouse with two slips and easy access via the neighborhood boat ramp. Spend the day fishing, swimming, or relaxing by the dock, then gather around the fire pit or watch sunsets over the lake. Only minutes from town, this quiet retreat blends lakefront fun with modern comfort.

– The Property –
The home comfortably sleeps a crowd with four bedrooms and plenty of space to relax:

- Bedroom 1: King bed, peaceful lake views, and private half-bath
- Bedroom 2: King bed with water views
- Bedroom 3: King bed
- Bedroom 4 (Downstairs): Two twin beds + two twin trundles — perfect for kids or extra guests. (Note: this room is only accessible via the sliding glass doors on the back patio; there are no interior stairs.)

Bathrooms
➤ Bathroom 1: Spacious tiled walk-in shower
➤ Bathroom 2: Private water closet, oversized soaking tub, and a luxurious tiled shower with dual shower heads, handheld sprayer, and body jets
➤ Bathroom 3: Half Bath off of Master Bedroom

Plenty of fresh, fluffy linens are provided for your stay.

Mobility Notes
➤ Inside: two steps down to the living room, one additional step in the living room, and two steps down to the large bathroom/laundry area
➤ Outside: steps leading down to the patio and grill area

– Amenities –
Enjoy all the comforts of home plus lakefront perks:

➤ Private boathouse with two slips
➤ Brand-new double oven in the kitchen
➤ Propane/charcoal/smoker grill (propane provided; bring charcoal/wood if desired)
➤ Fire pit for evenings by the lake
➤ Smart 4K TVs with streaming apps in every bedroom and the den
➤ High-speed Wi-Fi
➤ Cards, board games, and a small book library
➤ High-efficiency washer & dryer
➤ Well-stocked kitchen with cookware, utensils, and dining essentials
➤ Keurig coffee maker with complimentary K-Cups
➤ Tankless water heater — hot water for everyone, no matter the group size
➤ Tiled showers (One with Body Jets and showering for two)
➤ Parking for up to 5 trucks with trailers

Guests have access to the entire property, including both slips in the private boathouse — perfect for keeping your boat safe and dry during your stay. The only off-limits area is a locked supply closet.

We also offer three high-quality sit-on-top kayaks available to rent for just $100 flat for your entire stay (that’s for all three). Just let us know if you’d like to add them to your visit!

Feel free to check the lake levels ahead of your trip — just search “Lake Guntersville lake levels” and look for the TVA link. A level of 595 ft typically means about 4 feet of water in the boathouse. The lake is a living, changing environment, and the experience at the water can vary depending on water level, weeds, or debris. TVA treats the area regularly, and we also hire a local crew to clean and clear it at the start of summer.

Grocery Tip: The local Publix delivers right to the front door, so no need to haul groceries if you prefer to have them brought in.

We have installed a Level 2 EV Charger. It is a J1772 connector and also has a Tesla (NACS) adapter and charges up to 48A.

This was our very first vacation rental — and we’ve since added two more on Smith Lake! You can check them out by clicking on our host profile.

We also have lake houses on Smith Lake:

Great Weekend Getaway!

Ben and Lela have done an excellent job on this property! The inside is beautifully decorated with an amazing bathroom. This house had everything we needed and we enjoyed use of the boat dock to store our boat in the evenings. Ben and Lela were very easy to work with and responded quickly to all our questions. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Lake stay

The experience was great! Water is shallow by the dock, and the whole cove, but it was still great!
Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 20 May 2022
Glad you had a great stay. There are some deeper areas by the main channel but those areas also have bigger white caps and rough water while I'll cove is calm. The shallow lake is why all the boathouses are "in ground" instead of floating. As I say in the write up, ours is 4ft deep at full pool. Guntersville Lake doesn't vary by more than 2 ft from winter to summer, This keeps us with year round water even though it is relatively shallow compared to other lakes.
