Great Quick weekend stay

I fished from the balcony that was awesome, we rented a Pontoon boat at S4 boat rental and we drove it up to the property which has a Dock that was a nice bonus, overall a great stay.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Great place on the water

We had a great short trip. The only issue was being unsure when we arrive to the dirt road if we were in the right location. The dirt road looked like a dead end. We finally decided to go forward and then could see the road continued down to the lake. We would recommend this look spot to others. We needed a day away from cell phones and email so no Wi-Fi was fine with us. Plus the view from the deck was perfect.
