A group of us - 5 adult women - stayed here for a getaway trip. The Whitehouse was wonderful! There was plenty of space and beds, the kitchen was fully stocked with cooking equipment and the pier was the best place the end each day. Communication was great with the owner. Sherry wanted to make sure we had the best experience possible.

About the host
Hosted by Sherry Bailey
My family and I have loved Smith Lake for many years. My kids and grandkids have learned to swim and ski on this beautiful lake. We are a lake-loving family who find peace, fun, and relaxation on Smith Lake. This wonderful property is a fairly new purchase & exciting adventure for our family after moving from a 25-year stay on another property. My husband and I have been married for 50 years and have been blessed with 17 grandchildren. I am a retired school teacher and currently deal in antiques, Amish furniture, farmhouse furniture and decor, and lots of other treasures.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property for many reasons. First of all, it’s close to where we’ve been for many years, and second, it can accommodate all our family comfortably. It’s convenient to 1-65, downtown Cullman, and is in a part of Cullman that is seeing growth with new restaurants, recreation areas, and boat rentals. It’s private and has wonderful outdoor spaces.
