Beautiful view. Home was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you need for various levels of cooking. Some of the large appliances had some age on them but everything worked like a charm. All linens and towels were good quality. We were there in January and were able to enjoy the canoe, kayaks, and fire pit. The place was loaded with comfortable spots to hang out and water toys and outdoor games. The park close by is a great place to walk. There is a Dollar General and general store close by. Downtown Cullman is very close with a wide range of grocery stores and markets to satisfy everyone. There are great restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The host was very friendly and responsive.

You can't go wrong with this lake house! It was well equipped for outdoor activities, along with plenty of games and DVDs for indoor activities. The kitchen had everything you need to make anything you want! Beds were awesome and towels were soft. The host went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. We appreciated the thoughtful gesture supplying s'mores makings and duck food!

Michele's house on Smith Lake is just what the doctor ordered: peaceful and relaxing. We were a party of 4. One enjoyed fishing and canoeing while another chilled on the lilly pad. The other 2 couldn't tear themselves away from the patio and breathtaking view. Comminucation was excellent and the place was clean and orderly. If you're looking to get away from it all, BOOK THIS HOUSE!

Our 5 day stay with Michele at Smith Lake was absolutely phenomenal. From the minute we booked until the time we checked out, Michele was very communicative and available to answer all of our questions. We had 8 in our group and everyone was able to enjoy the house comfortably. All of the beds were extremely comfortable. The outside sitting area is very cozy with a great view. The area was very quiet and peaceful as well. Plenty of pillows, towels, and linens for our entire group throughout the home. We will definitely be booking again for the same event for next year!

Family Paradise. This homeowner has thought of everything to keep your family entertained while at the Lake. There are plenty of water equipment/life vests to truly enjoy the lake if you don't own a boat. Some great yard games as well to wear those little tikes down, so the Adults can enjoy some peaceful time on the patio after dark. CLOSE to everything, Cullman is a great little town with all kind of hidden treasures. Michelle is easy and quick to communicate with and has put some extra special touches in the home to make your stay extra enjoyable. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to feed an army or just whip up a quick meal. Door Dash is even available in the area, if you want time off from the kitchen. Beds were comfortable, great towels in the bath, and all the stuff you might have forgot to pack for showers. This house is very roomy and is exceptionally clean. Outdoors is a paradise with plenty of seating, and even a place to eat. Great home, hate to boast so about it, cause next time I want to rent it, it'll probably be booked once everyone tries it.
