Stunning Getaway Weekend

We were messaged ahead of time by the very helpful and responsive host- owner who made sure we were all set for our weekend of fun! The home is gorgeous. Absolutely everything about the home and location has been designed to maximize comfort, relaxation and and fantastic views. The home, hot tub, dock, kayaks, stand up paddles, etc. were all clean and very well-maintained. The beautifully designed kitchen had everything we needed need to feel at home. The beds were very comfortable. The lake is clean, and the quiet part of the lake where the house is located made for fantastic swimming. The clean hot tub welcomed us at then end of the day and we enjoyed family games (host has a bunch!) in the evening. One recommendation is to make sure to pack a cooler with plenty of food; the grocery stone is not close! We will definitely be back soon! Next time we plan to stay for much longer! Thank you for a delightful weekend! Tania

Perfect lake home

Our family vacation at Mason’s lake home was absolutely wonderful. We are planning on coming back. The home was clean and well stocked. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms for the 5 of us. We were able to cook or grill all of our meals at home. The dock and lake are perfect for swimming and spending time together. We loved having the kayaks, paddle boards, and floats. We highly suggest exploring up the cove to the waterfall and renting a boat from Squirrel, if you don’t bring your own. Having the hot tub and solo stove added to a great stay.

Just Book It!

We have stayed at several rental properties and this one by far has been the most well stocked. Everything was just as described and the place looked just like the pictures posted. Will was the easiest and most involved host I’ve ever dealt with. He went above and beyond with giving as recommendations on a guided fishing trip, to spas, places to eat, golf courses and even where would be best to launch the boat. It’s a great home and will definitely book again when we come back to Smith Lake!

"A Christmas To Remember"

Let me start out by saying my husband and I have stayed at many VRBO'S, so we are able to compare to the other places we have stayed. Hands down this was the best home we have ever stayed in. First. Will was great to deal with from our first conversation to our last one when we said our thanks for such a wonderful stay. The house was spotless. I did not see a speck of dust. We arrived the day after Christmas and we were delighted to walk in to find a beautiful Christmas tree so tastefully decorated. There were beautifully appointed decorations through the entire house. I love to cook and can honestly say they have stocked the kitchen the way it should be. I could not think of anything I was in need of. The lay out of the house is amazing. We enjoyed the gas fireplace on the covered porch, used the solo fire pit outside and they even had the hot tub ready to go. The dock is outstanding. The attention to detail and thought that they have put into a perfect stay is so obvious from the moment you walk in the door. I would also say I have never slept in a more comfortable bed. My only disappointment was how fast our time went. We were sad to leave, but so thankful for a long awaited vacation that surpassed all expectations. Thank you again!

So glad we stayed!

This was a wonderful trip start to finish. Obviously the owners are going for a first class experience. Everything has been thought of. The house is beautiful and appointed wonderfully! We had the best time on walks, paddle boarding, and sitting by the fire. The owner was quick to reach out and respond to questions. Don’t hesitate! It’s a wonderful home!

Gorgeous home! This was our first visit to Alabama and this rental exceeded our expectation with the beautifully appointed home and stunning views of the lake. The house is so cozy and comfortable that we did not want to leave. Communication with the host was easy. Enjoyed exploring the area and the fishing off the amazing dock was great!

Wonderful!

Such a great property! The place was really clean. We were welcomed with a cute personalized message board, a bottle of wine and chocolates. So well stocked - from kitchen dishes, coffee pods and baggies to beach towels for the floating dock and hot tub to laundry soap to fire starters for the fire pit. Comfortable beds and great lounging space on the screened porch. Will was super responsive to the questions I had before and during our stay. An overall wonderful time spent here!

Phenomenal Property!

Our group (6 adults) had the best week at this property! The house itself is lovely and immaculately maintained. It was well stocked with everything we needed and the beds were so comfortable! They really thought of everything. We had so much fun hanging out on the 2-story dock, floating on the water, and taking advantage of the activities such as kayaking and paddle boards. We even got to watch a meteor shower from the top deck - spectacular! The dock was stocked with plenty of life vests, floats, and other amenities. On top of all that, Will was a delight to work with! He was very communicative and super generous with check-in and check-out times. Initially we were a little bummed about how far the house is from town, but after one grocery haul we never needed to leave the house; and the peace and quiet was so worth it. We are all so grateful for the hospitality and can't wait to go back!

Best VRBO Experience to Date!

This was the best VRBO experience we’ve ever had. The hosts were highly communicative and quick to respond. They went above and beyond and thought of special details to make our stay even more memorable, such as wine and chocolate for us upon arrival. It was immaculately clean, very well stocked with kitchen tools and games, through and simple instructions for everything, and all-around well designed. The dock was especially awesome with the 2 stories, the kayaks, paddle boards, etc. The owner truly thought of everything. Beautiful houses surrounding it and a quiet cove. We can’t wait to go back for more family trips!

Great property

This property is just beautiful. The house was perfect for our family. 6 adults (3 couples) and 4 grandchildren. Very new and nicely furnished. Wonderful bed linens and plenty of towels. Great kitchen, LOTS of gathering areas indoors and out. The kids loved being able to warm up in the hot tub after being in the lake. The boat dock was the best we have ever had. The upstairs had a very large shaded area and a gate for the kids to jump in the lake. Great fishing from the bridge and lots of good spots nearby also. There was hardly any boat traffic on this quiet slough. There are stairs to the lake but were very sturdy and easy to maneuver. There was also a fire pit with plenty of wood. We were able to rent a jet ski from Ski Bums and pick it up at a nearby marina. Triple creek Marina was nearby for gas. The owners responded very quickly to any questions we had. For us this was place was perfect!

Perfect Christmas Getaway

We needed to be close to family that wouldn’t be able to travel for the holidays but we still wanted to have our own place to to celebrate with our children like we were at home. Will and his wife went over and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and to have the house decorated for Christmas. We loved every moment of the week and will be making plans to return. If you’re looking for a beautiful house away from the hustle and bustle of life than here’s your place.

Epic Smith Lake Experience

The accommodations and location of Will and Heather's Crane Hill home are, in a word, perfect! The experience of renting, from communication prior to our visit, to the thoughtful touches welcoming us to their property, through their accessibility at the conclusion of our stay all contributed to an amazing weekend. We cannot recommend Will and Heather's VRBO listing on Crane Hill highly enough and hope to return next year!

Best Property Ever!

My family: wife, four children aged 3-11, & my parents, rented this home for a week. The property had everything that you needed for an extended stay. The bathrooms were well-stocked with towels, washcloths, hand soaps, and toilet paper. They were also kind enough to provide dishwasher detergent and dish soap, cleaning supplies, paper towels, and laundry soap that got a family of 8 through an entire week. There was an abundant supply of beach towels, outdoor and indoor games, along with a well-stocked dock. My kids enjoyed playing Cornhole and we also spotted a giant Connect Four, but never used it. The beds were all comfortable, as well as the furniture. They had lots of throw blankets and pillows in every room. They had excellent sunchairs on the upper deck and chairs on the lower level. They had plenty of floaties and the children as well as the adults enjoyed the kayaks and standing paddle boards. I'm not sure if they provided life jackets because we always bring our own. My daughter had to have jumped off the upper deck of the dock at least 100 times while we were there. They also have a beautiful hot tub. We only used it a couple of times, but it was nice to have available. We brought our own spices, but they provided a lot as well. They also had plenty of storage containers for leftovers, Ziploc bags, Cling Wrap, and aluminum foil. There was just about every cooking device and vessel available. Including: Crock Pot, Instant Pot, and Air Fryer. Their gas grill was very clean (we've had to scrub others before use at other properties). The kitchen had plenty of Yeti-style lidded drinkware, and various sizes of cups and cutlery for the kids. The entire home was immaculately kept. The DISH connection only cut out during a storm. We had difficulty keeping connection in the basement to Netflix and DISH, but we didn't watch a whole lot of TV - so it wasn't an issue. Internet is spotty, but that's to be expected at such a remote location, which we loved! Overall, this has been THE BEST property we have ever stayed at, and we would definitely rent from the property owners again. Will was an exceptional host. He gave excellent customer service by communicating with us thoroughly prior to our arrival. We never had to reach out to him during our stay because the home had everything we needed. It is a beautiful home and we look forward to returning one day. Thank you, Will and family for an amazing family getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Will and Heather Mason

Our family settled in Huntsville after a 22 Army career. We fell in love with Smith Lake and decided to build a place after vacationing on Smith Lake for several years.

Why they chose this property

We love the fact the house is in a quiet cove away from all the boat traffic, has numerous rock formations on the property, makes you feel like your on vacation away from it all, and has a 2 Story Dock with a partially covered top deck with a jump gate. Home was newly built in 2021.

What makes this property unique

Our family has rented VRBOs all over the place and wanted to make this a place to relax, unwind, and make memories with your family. Leave your trash bags, laundry soap, zip lock bags, dishwashing detergent at home, paper towels, toilet paper and beach towels at home, we have it covered.
