About this property
July 18-19 Open | Dock + 3 Kayaks
Escape to Emberlight Cove — a cozy lakefront retreat on 1.3 private wooded acres. Spend your days kayaking, swimming, fishing, or relaxing on the dock in a peaceful cove surrounded by nature. As the sun sets, unwind on the screened porch, gather around the fire pit, or enjoy outdoor movie nights beneath glowing bistro lights. Downtown Cullman’s restaurants & shops are just 10 miles away — a rare convenience on Smith Lake!

Explore the exposed lakebed during lower water months and discover shells, wildlife tracks & flowing streams (rubber boots recommended).
