Excellent Cozy Cottage

This is a lovely property with an excellent cozy cottage feel. There was much thought put into the construction details, including the flooring, kitchen cabinets, and picture windows that provides great views of the water from the living room and master bedroom. It feels so comfortable to just relax on the couch and enjoy the views while sipping coffee. There is an abundance of amenities for staying in to prepare your own meals, including an outdoor grill and outdoor seating. The location is very convenient to the wilderness, which was our main attraction to the area. We loved hiking the Sipsey Wilderness and highly recommend it. If you are looking for a comfortable place to relax and enjoy the great outdoors, including the water, this is an excellent place. We would definitely want to return again and again.

Great get away

We enjoyed staying here. The property is well-kept and very clean. Beds were comfortable and plenty of linens available. Everything is very tidy. Perfect location to enjoy the outdoors. The yard area is well manicured. The fishing dock has plenty of space for fishing and we enjoyed using the canoes. Peaceful mornings and evenings on the house deck or dock.

Perfect lake cabin

This property was everything we could wish for in a lakeside cabin. Secluded, quiet & beautiful land complete with a gas grill, fire pit, porch seating for cool evening dinners, spacious dock for lazy days fishing or swimming and a canoe with paddle’s & various sized life jackets for exploring lake Smith. The cabin was super clean with all of the necessities. The beds & linens are comfy with extra blankets just in case. We loved our stay & recommend to everyone.

Clean Lakefront Cabin

Cabin is well stocked, very clean, lots of privacy. Comfortable for a couple and our pet. We pulled a 17 foot fishing boat and was able to manage getting in and out of the concrete driveway. Owner responds quickly and supplies all needed information.

Quiet Family Time

We met are Airman for his birthday. The cabin was off the beaten track and was cozy, cute, quiet and relaxing. We had fun fishing, playing cards and spending time together. Little lizard scampered about, the canoes offered a way to be on the lake and we enjoyed evenings grilling out and by the fire. The owner was helpful, accommodating, and replied to all our request and needs immediately. Wonderful getaway!

Sweet and private getaway

Loved this charming cabin. The hosts have done a great job updating it so it has everything you could want, and is homey and comfortable. The spot is very private with trees all around unlike some lake properties that have all the natural growth cut down. Plus I was able to bring my little dog. We’ll be back!

Hidden Gem

My husband and I along with our maltipoo went for a short weekend getaway and it was wonderful. The house is perfect for a small family. The house had everything we needed and the Wifi was a huge plus since we had no service. We enjoyed fishing— there’s always a bite no matter where you go in the lake. The check-in process was smooth and we have no complaints. We look forward to returning.

Perfect for a mom and her two teens

The pictures do not do this place justice. It was the cutest cabin we've ever stayed in and we have stayed in many! The place was clean, decorated very homey, and I cook all 3 meals a day and the kitchen had almost everything we could ever have needed (a blender for salsa would be nice, but not necessary). We drove to two locations fairly close in Sipsey woods and hiked to two gorgeous waterfalls and the rest of the time canoed around the lake. It was the PERFECT spring break with my soon to be going to college kids. Hoping to visit again as we love Smith Lake and this place was the best we've stayed in so far for the size.

Perfect little lake getaway!

My family of 4 and our pup thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We brought our own kayak, although the provided canoes are a nice touch. Also loved the outdoor shower for washing the lake off. As others have said, the stairs to the lake are no joke, but great for a little extra exercise and there is a nice deck to catch your breath about half way up. No dishwasher but a nice big commercial sink for washing, and we didn’t mind. Overall great stay!
