About this property

Smith Lake Vacation Rental

Lake house located in a quiet slew on Lewis Smith Lake (Smith Lake) in Jasper, AL 5 minutes from Duncan Bridge and Arley, AL.

Come stay for a vacation home getaway with all the comforts of home plus fishing, grilling with family or friends, and playing in the sun! Large deck for the views and relaxing. Includes pier/ boat dock. 2BD 2BA - 1 King and 1 queen bed. Living room includes big screen tv with video streaming apps. Home offers all standard appliances including washer and dryer.

Lower boat traffic through the Smith Lake channel tunnel to the property adds for a safer swimming area than the main body of the lake. Property is located 1 or 2 minutes from Duncan Bridge Marina by vehicle or about 5 to 10 by water. Evan’s Marina is located in the same slew as this property. Check with Duncan, Squirrels, and Evan’s Marina for pontoon boat rentals and boat launch.

Great cellphone service for AT&T and Verizon. Has WIFI high speed internet.

Most boats and all personal watercraft fit through the Smith Lake tunnel for Curry Hwy however, we would suggest not booking and asking first if you have a boat with a tall non foldable rack. There is year round deep (approximately 30 ft) water in the slew. The tunnel itself has markers on the side placed by water patrol to let you know the depth. Happy to answer any questions and give tips for those that worry. We have been going through in our Glastron ski boat, pontoon boat, and Chris Craft ski boat for years.

Charming Cottage
The cottage was nicely decorated, comfortable sofas and bed, nice shower. You can tell the host tried to think of everything to make your stay enjoyable. I love the screened porch. Outdoors was very steep on all sides (Driveway, front walkway and decent down to the lake in the back.

Nice house on the lake
The house on the lake was as described. It was very comfortable and nicely decorated. It had everything needed for a long weekend getaway. Cons: Although not the owner's fault: The driveway and property are on a very steep incline. On our vehicle we have a camera that gives us a front view also I am glad we had that pulling in a few times because of the angle it was hard to judge where you were at. We brought our dogs (we were there for a dog show) and it was very difficult to take them out sometimes to go potty because there were two "neighborhood" large dogs that kept coming over and barking at them. I was afraid they would fight so I would take mine back inside and wait until no sight of the "neighborhood" dogs. But other than that, my 2 boys wore themselves out swimming in the lake.

Cottage
We really enjoyed the historic sites in Jasper, and was close enough to enjoy Cullman. The home was a cozy two bedroom cottage. The only thing was missing was a table we could eat together and play games. I would suggest getting a card table with 4 chairs which can be folded up for space. We had a good time and enjoyed exploring the area.

Unsatisfactory rental
This property is dangerous due to the severe driveway. The driveway was covered in acorns and gravel when we arrived. We had to work over an hour to get a pathway to get in the house. There is no inside table to enjoy a meal together. The beds are old and warm out as is the sofas in the tv room. Refrigerator is old with rust in the freezer. The dock is unusable for boating. This place is only worth maybe $50 a night. I was given a number to call that was the x huusband of the owner. He explained he was no longer responsible because of the divorce and why was I calling him????? I want half of my money returned. Worst rental I have ever rented. I hurt my knee walking to the house se when we arrived! Please advise about my refund.

Good location/beautiful Lake
The location is good, lake is beautiful. The house could have been a little cleaner. The full bed needs replaced , 2 people end up like a taco. Also for anyone bringing reactive dogs beware there is a very sweet but annoying dog that lives next door that roams around unleashed. That said it is the perfect location, the lake is beautiful and quiet. The screen in porch was wonderful.

Nice property for short getaway
The house was a perfect spot for our short family weekend getaway. The kitchen came equipped with everything we needed. The screened-in porch was great during those rainy afternoon showers. We brought a blow up mattress for our fifth person and there was plenty of room for it in the living room (we brought our own blankets and sheets for this). Hosts were quick to respond to any questions we had. The towels were a little mildew smelling but nothing a little white vinegar couldn’t fix. Great time and hope to come back again!

Checking it out
The house was very clean and well put together. The driveway is especially steep. Its a semicircle driveway which makes it easier to navigate the parking, but note... if you are towing a boat or trailer, there's room in the driveway to park, but getting out is a little scary depending on your driving skills and type of vehicle. Best if you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle. We do not. If we had it to do over, we'd park the boat on the gravel at the top of the property.

We loved it!
I’m going to start by saying, this is the best smelling rental I have ever stayed in. We rented for spring break and it turned out to be quite cold. We were unable to do most of the things we had planned on doing. It was so quite and peaceful, we didn’t even mind. Bed was comfy. Kitchen was stocked with all we needed to cook. Grills were available. The property looks different outside than in the photos. The owners are upgrading things outside. I will say, this rental would not be great for someone with mobility issues. Smith Lake in general is probably that way.

Beautiful Lake House
The home was clean and had everything we needed. My family enjoyed fishing on the pier. Parking on the steep slope was scary at first, but got better after the initial shock. We really enjoyed this house.

This our second stay
In addition to my prior review, I would like to acknowledge the ongoing improvements and maintenance that the owners are investing in the property. It’s nice to see how much they care about it! For prior visitors, the kitchen is much better supplies and stocked with utensils, pots and pans…we were able to cook a thanksgiving meal for four easily with what was provided. We have made our own ‘donations’ of glasses for future guests (which may include us!)

Lovely Getaway
My family and I had a wonderful time at this beautifully remodeled property. We spent a lot of time paddle boarding off the dock with boards we got from a nearby rental company who delivered them to the house, as well as eating outdoors overlooking the water and playing games on the screened-in porch. The kitchen is well-equipped and there is an abundance of both bath and beach towels. The only thing to note is that if you are there in cooler weather and need to eat indoors, there is only seating for two at the kitchen table. The place was recently remodeled and is lovely and very clean. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely come back!

Perfect for us
The house itself and the lake are lovely. We spent most evenings on the back porch overlooking the lake and cooking on the grill. As has been stated before, the steepness of the driveway and yard can be an issue for some (even just getting in the driveway), but we navigated it just fine. New concrete has been added to provide another place to park near the front door. We have already booked a return visit and appreciate the opportunity to bring all family members, including the four-legged ones.

It’s ok.
There’s still some work to be done by the owners contractor. No toaster in the house. Internal bedroom door doesn’t close all the way. No dining table/area inside for the 4 of us. No closet space to hang clothes in bedroom. Very steep incline entrance for us older folks with bad knees. Screened in back porch very nice. Living room, bathrooms and kitchen were nice.

Quiet getaway!
The house had a cozy feel but plenty of room for 2 couples. Nice large decks to have diner, nice supply of linens & towels. We enjoyed the screened porch at night! Only negative is they need a handyman to make a visit on a few minor items. The tunnel fit our 19’ Stingray 186 center console boat. But overall we would stay again and the owner was very accommodating!

Steep Entry
Upon arriving at the property we immediately realized the entry to the property was a steep concrete sidewalk with no handrails. This was not pictured nor was this mentioned in the ad. We were very disappointed and left the property the following morning. We had paid for a six night stay. No refund was offered!! Very disappointed, would not recommend this property!!

About the host

Hosted by Robert & Ashley

Host profile image
My best friends grandfather built this home for his family to enjoy and my grandparents purchased the home in 1999. I have grown up on this lake in this vacation home with so many beautiful memories. Fishing, digging up our own worms, boating, tubing, roasting marsh mellows, catching frogs & fire flies, bbq'ing with loved ones, music, laying in the sun, reading good books with the peace and quite, jumping straight off the pier, and falling asleep heavy. This is the place I have made some of my best memories. Now my husband, Robert and I can share these same memories with our son and two daughters. My husband (office manager of a firm) and I (business owner) are hard workers with a lot of responsibilities. This is our getaway and we would not have it any other way. We hope this vacation home is the same lasting memories for all of our guests.

Why they chose this property

There is no question as to why Lewis Smith Lake in our minds. The lake is beautiful and clean. One of the cleanest lakes in America. Why this property... besides the memories, it is quite. The lake is blowing up with new homes, condo's, construction, etc. Slew's are the best! Always have been to me but this one is a little extra slice of remote.
