About this property

Enjoy a Water Getaway! Book the A-frame now!

NO CABLE, Wi-Fi, or Satellite!! Get Away From It All! Welcome to living A-top of the water and welcome to living A-little small. I would describe this place like a tiny home. If you are tall and don’t do well with tight small spaces, this is NOT the place for you. This adorable A-frame is equipped with everything you should need to enjoy a weekend A-way from it all! It is a two bedroom and one and a half bath with a sleeper sofa. This tiny A-frame sits on two acres in Yellow Creek. If you need to launch anything, Houston recreation area is 4 miles away via road.

Quiet Place on the Lake

The cabin was nice - right on the water. We were close enough to two restaurants that we liked and the hiking we came for. And the hosts were very responsive.

Great trip A way from it all!

Very cute and secluded. Roomier that we thought. Has all you need and close to some beautifull places on this lake. The house is so close to the water and so easy to load in and out.

Wonderful little A-frame cabin in a secluded location at the lake. Really nice deck and floating dock to enjoy the lake. Property has everything you need for a few days of solitude.

The A Frame is perfect for a couple. This was our second stay at this property, and although there were some weather related issues (4 degree temps), the owner was more than accommodating.

Hidden Gem

The A-frame was cozy and felt like home. Directly on the water, so the view was amazing. Bring your fishing gear!! Also, not having WiFi was a well needed break from our phones that we didn’t know we needed. Loved this place and hope to come back!

Our Favorite Spot on Smith Lake

This was my 4th stay at this property for our annual Girl's Trip because we LOVE the A-Frame. The beds were comfortable & kitchen had everything we needed. The walk down to the water was super easy & accessible, so we spent all our time on the water. We made friends with the across the way neighbors which made us feel super safe & comfortable. A family of geese even came through every morning. Highly recommend this property!

Beautiful and peaceful

If you are looking for peace and quiet this is your place. We enjoyed the deck and the view of the beautiful clear lake! The cabin is not fancy but it was cozy and comfortable. The worst part is the road to the cabin. Something really needs to be done with it.

Quaint and quiet!

We loved this cabin! So relaxing. We definitely want to return. Limited cell service… a little bumpy county road, and a steep drive way but all made for a great relaxing getaway! Beautiful, calm mornings in a quiet cove. Perfect for kids to swim and chill. Only a few minutes to Chef Troy’s or lakeshore!

Get away

Cozy little cottage, not close to much so it’s perfect if you want to Get away! Very rustic and woodsy! Like camping off the beaten path, but with all of the comforts! Beautiful lake! It feels like living in a tree house.

Cooler at the lake

This was a quiet stay. No one else around. We went during the week so typically less crowded anyway. Loved the old/new cabin feel. Swimming was great. No boaters to contend with. Had planned to eat out at least once but ended up getting everything we needed at Publix in Cullman.

Great trip-just what we were looking for

The property was just as described. It had a fantastic view, wasn’t too crowded and the house was just perfect for us. We loved that it was unique. The only issue we faced was the road down to the house. If we wouldn’t have been in a 4 wheel drive truck I’m not sure we could have made it; although it’s not the fault of the property owners. Just something you need to know if renting it.
