We stayed here early June. It was fantastic, quiet space, easy access to dock and water. Fire pit looking at the lake made for peaceful evenings. The lake is very clear and clean. We also rented a boat for a day to explore more of the lake. Good location and lot!

Absolutely amazing weekend!

Miss Lazy Blue and Jennifer (hostess) made a weekend get-a-way nothing short of perfect! The beautiful home and all lakeside amenities allowed us to have a very cozy and relaxing experience. We took full advantage of the grill, blackstone, firepits, kayaks, boat dock, etc. I also cannot say enough about Jennifer and how accommodating she was for us. We will definitely be looking forward to staying here again!

Idyllic Getaway

Our recent stay at Miss Lazy Blue was nothing short of lakeside perfection. Upon entry to this impeccably decorated getaway, you are immediately at ease, ready to sip sweet tea from a Mason jar on the porch swing. The home not only is visibly idyllic, it is also equipped with everything needed for a perfect vacation. Books live in every corner and perch, the beds are comfy, and the screened-in porch and dock offer hours of escape. We enjoyed our time immensely and we are already planning our next trip!

Thank you for the kind words. It truly means a lot. I do hope you come back. You’ll have to try the fall and winter months. Less traffic on the water, cool breeze while on the porch, and a fire to warm up by. It’s my favorite!! Thanks again Lori!! ❤️Jenn

Quick Getaway

We wanted to spend a few days exploring Smith Lake, and Miss Lazy Blue was perfect for doing just that. Conveniently located near the Trident Marina, this wonderfully restored cabin provided us the perfect opportunity to explore the many aspects of the lake. The accommodations were both comfortable and clean. We were welcomed by our hosts with a complimentary bottle of wine, cheese and crackers. Nice touch! We highly recommend this property, and we anticipate returning again...and again!

Lake life at its best!

What a delightful and charming cottage on Smith Lake. The location is ideal, and you are just steps away from the lake. A highlight of our stay was getting out on the water in the provided kayaks! Jennifer was an awesome host. She was available, prompt, and efficient with answers to any of our questions. The hosts have done a fantastic job with this cabin. It is so inviting, comfortable, and cozy. It would be perfect for any season of the year, so I know we will be back to Miss Lazy Blue for another relaxing getaway.

Adorable Upscale Cabin

This sweet place was perfect for our getaway! Everything was very clean and our host had thought of every touch we might need including bath products and towels. The decks (one screened and one open for sunning and another down by the boat house) are fabulous with comfortable seating, an oversized swing, grill, firepit, picnic table and overhead fan. This little house was so nice that we had to make ourselves come inside to watch SEC football! we will be back soon.

Slice of paradise

My husband and I drove all the way from Colorado to stay at Miss lazy blue cottage. He has always wanted to fish for bass at Lewis Smith Lake and Guntersville lake, which are only an hour apart. This cottage was so adorable and in the most perfect pristine spot on the lake. he caught 35 striped bass on Lewis Smith Lake and a 6.8 lb largemouth bass on Guntersville. I enjoyed relaxing days reading on the deck overlooking the water and on the screened in porch enjoying the spring breezes. The house is exactly as pictured and the hosts were so accommodating. We had an absolutely wonderful time. For a small number of people Miss lazy blue cottage is your perfect getaway spot.

Miss Lazy Blue

Had the most amazing 40th Birthday trip, with my favorite people, at my most favorite place on earth. Miss Lazy Blue did not disappoint. The property that we had previously stayed at had sold and we were unable to book. So thankful we found this quaint little cottage that seems to hover over the coveted blue/green waters of “The Smith” as I call it! The roads leading to the property are in great shape and is super easy to find. GPS takes you right to it. The cottage is true to the listing, with all the amenities needed, and more. The screened in porch is perfect for early morning sitting with an incredible view. My wife enjoyed lounging on the comfy couch swing early in the morning while it was cool. The kids loved the outdoor shower. Oh, and Trident marina is literally a 5 minute boat ride if bringing a boat. It was a pleasure meeting the hosts. They were so down to earth and welcoming! Mrs. Jennifer was prompt with any questions and encouraged not to hesitate to reach out. Just had the best time, and the best experience. Just wasn’t long enough lol. I pray it’s not booked for our dates in May! Until next time Miss Lazy Blue! ✌

You are in for a treat when staying at Miss Lazy Blue.
