Lakefront & Seasonal Water
Located on Dogwood Point, a calm cove just off the main channel—ideal for kayaking and swimming during spring and summer.
• Private dock & swim platform (useable in spring/summer months)
• Tandem kayak, inflatable paddle board, & basic fishing gear provided (seasonal; available when water levels are up)
• Small selection of life jackets available as a courtesy. Because sizes & availability may vary, we recommend bringing properly fitted life jackets for your group so you can enjoy the water with peace of mind.

Please note: Our Smith Lake property has seasonal water levels. Water typically recedes in fall and winter, shifting the experience toward peaceful wooded views, fire pit nights, and cozy outdoor living

Fall & Winter
Fall and winter bring a different kind of magic. With lower water levels, the setting feels more like a cozy woodland or mountain-style retreat—perfect for fire pit nights, outdoor movies wrapped in blankets, and peaceful time surrounded by nature.

Kids love exploring the exposed lakebed, often discovering shells, animal tracks, and flowing streams—rubber boots recommended! You’ll also love being just minutes from local Cullman events: Oktoberfest, Cullman County Fair, Christkindlmarkt and more
