About this property

Family Cottage Retreat with 270 Degree Views

  • A Private Point on Smith Lake: Under new management

    Tucked inside a gated, 16-home cliffside community, this home sits on the neighborhood's premier point lot - which means 270-degree water views from nearly every room, including the kitchen. This 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath custom home sleeps 14 across two living spaces, with an intentionally comfortable, cozy setup for the family to cook, relax, and make memories on the lake.

    Spend the day on the water: walk down to your private dock and boat lift, paddle out in one of four kayaks or three stand-up paddleboards, or fire up the outdoor kitchen (Big Green Egg and propane grill) for a lakeside dinner. As the sun goes down, gather around the Adirondack-ringed fire pit under the trees.

    You're 7 minutes from Trident Marina and 12 from Triple Creek Marina if you're bringing or renting a boat, and 30 minutes from Cullman for groceries and dining. We also offer optional grocery delivery and boat rental coordination - just ask, and we'll have it ready before you arrive.

    This is our family's lake home, and we treat every guest stay like we'd want our own.



    While staying at our home you will enjoy:

    • Fire Pit

    • Outdoor dining and decking overlooking the water

    • Outdoor Kitchen with bar and 2 grills (Big Green Egg and Propane)

    • 4 Kayaks and paddles

    • 3 Stand Up Paddleboards (SUPs)

    • SmartTVs in w/ cable, smart lock, ring door bell

    • Easy walk to the dock

    • Boat slip with lift for parking your boat



    The house is conveniently located within:



    - 7min to Trident Marina (boat gas, restaurant, and boat rental)!

    - 12min Triple Creek Marina (boat gas and boat rental)

    -30min to downtown Cullman for groceries and restaurants.



    Please note: this property has an extremely steep driveway and we highly recommend bringing an elevated 4WD vehicle to park and unload in the driveway.
