Smith Lake - 3BR - Free Boat Delivery!

Firefly Lake House in the Cullman County part of Smith Lake is the perfect family retreat! Only 1 hour from Birmingham and 25 min from exit 305 off I-65!

3 bedrooms and it sleeps 8 total! 2 of the bedrooms and 1 bath are on the main level, and 1 bedroom and 1 bath is on the daylight basement level. Each bedroom has one queen size bed. There is also a twin bed in the basement bedroom and an additional full mattress to put down if needed. There's also a crib mattress to lay down if needed.

The daylight basement provides convenience when coming in from the lake and a lot of fun with the ping pong table in a large hang-out space. The upstairs loft provides a nice getaway for games and movie watching (login to smart TV). There's also a brand new sleeper sofa and 6 person dining table.

The privacy of the home and location on the lake are unmatched. There are no homes across the water and hardly any neighbors. We provide two kayaks, one canoe and a large swim mat for hours of family fun. The fishing is good too (bring poles)! We also have a new fire pit and firewood! The boat launch at Arrowhead RV Park is only 5 minutes away. Free Boat Rental Delivery is March to Aug. Lower water prevents boats at our dock late September through February...but zero boat traffic means this is the perfect time for kayaking, fishing, etc.

Relax at night in the rocking chairs or swings on the covered porch and enjoy the beautiful stars on the middle deck. The beauty of nature is all around!

More Details...
Firefly Lake House is located on County Road 950 in Crane Hill, Alabama. The home was built in 2018 on 3 acres of land on Crooked Creek section of Lewis Smith Lake. This property has the feel of being on a quiet river, yet you are a short boat ride to Rock Creek, White Oak Creek and other parts of Smith Lake. There is less boat traffic here. The view across the water from the house is untouched woods with numerous birds sited including bald eagles, egrets, cranes, herons and osprey. There is a small cove on the left side of the house.

The house features include wifi, large screen tv's, gas grill (propane included), charcoal grill, ping pong table, corn hole game equipment, 13ft canoe with paddles and 2 single person kayaks. Lifejackets are provided. A 15ft x 6ft floating swim mat is also provided. The home has a full kitchen with all cooking accessories and a coffee maker as well as a Keurig machine. There is a Dollar General store and a gas station 5 minutes away on CR 222. There's a Publix grocery store 25 minutes away in Cullman and there is a Wal-Mart.

Downstairs leads to a walkout basement complete with a bedroom and full bathroom. There is easy access to the water, a beautiful view, hanging cedar swings, hammock and benches.

The loft overlooking main floor has a sofa sleeper, large screen TV wifi enabled (bring smart TV log-in info) and a dining table.

There is a covered back deck overlooking the water as well as a middle deck closer to the water. Washer and dryer are located in the basement. There's a single slip covered boat dock, with swim platform and ladder.

Firefly Lake House is very close to Arrowhead RV park, so If you bring your own boat you can launch there (they charge a $5 cash fee) and you can keep the boat at the house's dock. We trailer our boat in the front yard. The water around our dock is about 15 ft deep from March to August. Near the shore it is only about 2-3 ft deep, perfect if you have little ones that want to play in shallow water and don't mind the mud.
