About this property

Silverock Cove Retreat: Panoramic Views + Pool & Boat Slip Access

Wake up surrounded by water at our Smith Lake home in Silverock Cove. Set on a wooded end-of-the-point lot, the house has panoramic lake views, plenty of privacy, and is just steps from the water.

Whether you're spending the day on the lake or simply looking for a quiet place to relax with family and friends, this is an easy place to settle in. Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered porch overlooking the lake, spend the afternoon at one of the community pools, and end the day around the lakeside fire pit.

The home has four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, plus an upstairs loft with a twin daybed. The primary bedroom is on the main level, with three additional bedrooms and the loft upstairs. Each bedroom has a large Smart TV.

• Primary Bedroom — King bed
• Bedroom 2 — Queen bed
• Bedroom 3 — Queen bed
• Bedroom 4 — Two twin beds
• Loft — Twin daybed

Beds accommodate 9 guests. Maximum occupancy is 10.

The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and gathering, and the house is stocked with the everyday things that make a week at the lake easier. Guests regularly tell us how much they appreciate the comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, extra towels and blankets, games, and thoughtful details throughout the house.

The setting is what makes this house special. Because of its location at the end of the point, you'll enjoy broad lake views and more privacy than many homes in the community. The covered porch is one of our favorite places to sit and take in the water, and a stone patio and fire pit provide another gathering spot closer to the lake.

A waterfront boardwalk winds through Silverock Cove, and the shoreline is easily accessible for fishing, exploring, or simply enjoying the water.

Silverock Cove is a gated Smith Lake community with two swimming pools and waterfront boardwalks. Our home is just a short walk from the main pool and clubhouse, which also has a ping-pong table. Guests get the convenience of community amenities while still having a quiet, more secluded setting at the house.

BRINGING A BOAT? You're welcome to bring it. Guests have access to shared boat slips located throughout Silverock Cove, making it easy to enjoy Smith Lake from the water. Boats will need to be launched at a nearby public or marina launch.

Trailer storage is available on site.

We can provide additional information about nearby boat launches and lake access before your stay.

Silverock Cove is located in Crane Hill, Alabama, on Lewis Smith Lake.

The community is convenient to I-65 and is approximately:

• 1 hour north of Birmingham
• 1¼ hours south of Huntsville
• 25 miles from Cullman for groceries, restaurants and shopping

Once you're here, though, you may not have much reason to leave.

GOOD TO KNOW

• Gated lakefront community
• Two community pools
• Shared boat-slip access
• Trailer storage available
• Lakeside fire pit
• Gas grill
• Fully equipped kitchen
• Washer and dryer
• Smart TVs in each bedroom
• No pets
• No smoking
• No parties or events

Discounts may be available for extended stays.

We hope you'll come enjoy Smith Lake the way we do. It's a comfortable, peaceful place for families and friends to slow down, spend time together, and enjoy one of the most beautiful spots on the lake.

Excellent getaway

It was a wonderful week to getaway with the family. The house was just as advertised and the property manager was friendly and easy to get a hold of with any needs. If you’re looking for a vacation away from it all this is the place for you. We caught several fish while there and the kids LOVED the pool.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Jonathan's lake house! The setting was beautiful! All of us enjoyed the walk by the lake, the kids loved fishing down by the shore line and hopping on the rocks. The dock was easily accessible, the community pool was lovely and there were plenty of lounge chairs for everyone to relax on. The house offered everything we could have possibly needed and was very comfortable, complete with throw blankets by the couch and comfortable bedding. We enjoyed sitting out on the porch enjoying the lake view. We were all very pleased and glad to have found Jonathan's lake house!!

The Perfect Vacation Spot

My family absolutely loved this vacation spot. It is in an excellent location just a few houses down from the main pool within the gated community. It is also more secluded, so you have better privacy than some of the other properties. We spent many hours relaxing on the front porch which overlooks the lake. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking implements and everyone mentioned how comfortable the beds were. There was plenty of space for my large family, and we loved the small community area upstairs. Communication with Jonathan was extremely easy, and he was quick to respond to any question. We will definitely stay there again! Gail West Point, MS

5 Stars: Perfect Lake Getaway

We had an amazing stay at this lake house. The property was exactly as described, clean, comfortable, and well stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing week. The views of the lake were beautiful, and having access to the dock and easy access to our pontoon boat made our trip extra special.We stayed for our teen daughter’s birthday, and it was the perfect place to celebrate. The girls had the best time swimming, tubing, and soaking up the sun. The neighbors were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the built in ice machine was a great bonus, especially for lake days and keeping drinks cold. We also used the nearby boat launch at Arrowhead RV Resort for just 5, which was super convenient.We appreciated all the thoughtful touches like extra towels, games, and outdoor seating areas. The host was responsive, kind, and made check in quick and easy. The property manager is easy to get in touch with and very friendly and helpful! We made so many great memories here and would absolutely book again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, fun filled lake retreat.

Exceeded Expectations

Everything about our vacation here was perfect, and I cannot speak highly enough about our experience. The property itself is gorgeous, with picturesque views of the lake. The property owner was quick to respond and personable. He obviously put a lot of thought and effort into making the house clean and comfortable. The neighborhood felt very safe and everyone we met was so friendly. If you’re looking for a quiet escape to recharge and relax, look no further!
