About this property

Fuller View Cabin - A Mountain Cabin overlooking Sweet Home Alabama!

** This Property is not on Smith Lake - but is less than a mile from Smith Lake Park and Boat Launch.** Convenient to Interstate 65.

A Fuller View became commercially available to us in March 2021 during the coronavirus pandemic. After an extensive year long renovation we are pleased to announce we are open to rentals since March 2022!

Our family immediately fell in love with the idea of having a cabin with Gatlinburg- like views right here in Cullman.. Better yet - the property is less than a mile from Smith Lake Park and Boat Launch on Lewis Smith Lake (and our other family owned lake rentals that are near the park).

This cozy cabin may look small but features three bedrooms and two full baths. It also features a viewing room / den from the ground level, a large viewing area / great room from the second floor, and a third floor loft. It also features a two story viewing deck complete with a hot tub overlooking the horizon. On a nice clear night when you're relaxing in the hot tub looking up at the stars you may think you are in the best planetarium on the planet. But in fact, you're looking up at a display of stars and planets better than any planetarium.

Enjoy Smith Lake either from the public swimming area in the park or from a rented boat launching from the park boat launch.

Or visit any number of local attractions available within an hour of the property

* Ave Maria Grotto (10 minutes)
* Bankhead National Forrest (15-20 minutes)
* Clarkson Covered Bridge (10-15 minutes)
* Cullman County Museum (10 minutes)
* Downtown Cullman (10 minutes)
* Hurricane Creek Park (10 minutes)
* Rickwood Caverns (15-20 minutes)
* Space and Rocket Center (45 minutes)
* St Bernard Abbey and Prep School (10 minutes)
* Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament (15 minutes)

The unique feature of this home is the cabin sits right on the edge of a ridge looking 100+ miles to the south.

Our Fuller View cabin offers Gatlinburg-like views less than a mile from Smith Lake Park and it's public boat launch. It is also within driving distance of most tourist attractions North Alabama has to offer.

Weekend getaway

We absolutely loved our stay here. Amazing place and amazing views. Only downside (and it’s not a big deal) is there was much more traffic then we expected and there a neighbor across the street. Given the cabin and location though we would definitely stay again and definitely recommend

Lovely cabin

Cabin is great. Hot tub is wonderful. There was more traffic on the road than we expected but that's not the house's fault. The A-frame cabin is gorgeous inside, absolutely beautiful. We had a very relaxing weekend away.

Spectacular

We had a perfect getaway at this cabin! We were in town all the way from Louisiana for my sisters college graduation! You can tell the owners put a lot of love and care into making this a home away from home! Our 5 year old absolutely loved the loft, or hideout as he called it! Will definitely recommend and book again in the future!

Beautiful cabin & view

We loved everything about the cabin, especially the views. Check in process was easy, and communication with Jay was great & timely. The cabin had everything we needed. The only complaint we had was the proximity to the road. The cabin sits directly on the road, and there was a lot of traffic. Aside from that, we were very happy with our stay!

Cozy Cabin

Had a good time relaxing with friends in this cozy cabin. Great view of the area from the patio and deck on the second level. Beds were comfortable and having controls for the air conditioning in each room was wonderful. Hot tub was unfortunately not operational, but the host worked with us to provide a much earlier check-in time. Overall tidiness could have been better, there were a lot of cobwebs and live/dead spiders inside the common areas and bedrooms. Not a big deal for a cabin out in the country, but when we sat down at the table we got cobwebs all over our legs- so overall good experience but dusting needed to take place.

Perfect Relaxing Getaway!!

First of all, let me start out by saying that the owner of this property is great! We had some unexpected changes on our stay and not only did he work with us but we also got to check in early. He was always fast at communicating anytime I sent an email which was great. (You don’t get this most of the time when emailing) Now to the property, It is and was exactly as described. The cabin was very clean and very nice. A little bit of old with a modern touch. I loved it! Not only was the cabin great but the porches and hot tub were an extra plus! You have a great view of the country side from the porches and the hot tub. I definitely would recommend for a relaxing getaway and it’s definitely a place I would go back to! I would love to see it in the fall!

Amazing views

The cabin was rustic with a touch of industrial. Back porch and upper deck was enjoyable for the whole family, my wife and kids stayed up most of the night playing board games and socializing on the porch. The cabin is maybe a 8 minute ride to Smith Lake Park which we took full advantage of for three days, even rented a pontoon boat one of those days. It was very easy to find using gps. Beds were comfortable and clean. It took a little getting used to with no blinds or curtains on windows for privacy reasons, but that being said after night one we were totally comfortable with it. Kitchen area a little cramped for space, but worked fine for us since we didn’t really do much cooking of any kind. We did not take advantage of grill either but looked well kept. My wife and I stayed in the upstairs bedroom, only suggestion we would have with that is to maybe install a handrail to help assist the stairs. Overall we give it 5 stars. Would definitely and hopefully stay there again. Jay, our host was always at the touch of a phone there and in a timely manner. Looking forward for another stay.
