Great Lake house spot

It definitely looks a lot bigger on the outside. We also thought there would be 6 individual rooms so that was a little misleading, but overall we really enjoyed our stay. The outside was beautiful and the inside kitchen was perfect.

Family Fun Weekend

Overall, the experience was pleasant. Beautiful views, plenty of seating, and all the amenities that one would expect from a lake house. However, the Wi-Fi was extremely unreliable which made very difficult to watch a movie with the family.

5 cousins retreat

Good house for 5 men. Fair number of stairs to dock but negotiable. Could use more lighting in kitchen. Had to use a flashlight to see stove controls. Great covered porch overlooking water and nice boathouse. All in all a good spot.

Nice

Loved how close it was off the interstate! The bedrooms are spacious. It was difficult to determine the bedrooms by the pics. There are 2 individual rooms, which is great for the single adults. And then 2 bedrooms with the additional "side rooms" which is great for families. So we were happy with our bed space. The kitchen was nicely remodeled. The living area is small inside, but plenty of space outside! The only negative is it would have been nice for the outside area to be blown off or washed off. It is high pollen season, but it still would have been nice for it to be blown upon arrival. There were several spider webs in the corners on outside patio that would have been nice if they were "blowen" off too along with patio. Otherwise, it was delightful! :)

About the host

Hosted by Tara King

We live just north of Smith Lake. We raise American Quarter Horses and have a love for the South African Boerboel. My husband enjoys off roading and I am an avid equestrian. We have three children and attend a Southern Baptist Church in Cullman, AL. God and Family are very important to us.

Why they chose this property

After viewing several lake properties. We immediately found this property to have a peaceful and right at home feeling. The shaded lot and large front patio creates a cooler atmosphere to relax and entertain. The quiet dead end road makes you feel far away from the shuffles of town, yet you are only 16 minutes from Walmart and all the nearby shopping and restaurants. We also liked that the water gets deeper gradually and that the kids can enjoy the sandbanks, collecting shells and catching small fish. Great fishing from the dock. The home is comfortable with plenty of room for large family gatherings and reunions. The home has been decorated in fun and uplifting colors to create a comfortable and enjoyable environment.

What makes this property unique

1.5 acres. 400ft waterfront. Bamboo forest. Closest rental home to town on Smith Lake. Dead end road. Not on a cliff. Completely shaded lot. 2 bedrooms have attached bedrooms perfect for families with kids.
