Smith Lake's 21,200 acres of clean emerald waters and 642 miles of shoreline are accessible right from the backyard of this beautiful, lake house. Along with direct waterfront access by way of private dock and shoreline, this peaceful enclave boasts an amazing outdoor space complete with upper and lower decks, picnic tables, a wood-burning firepit, a gas grill, a griddle, and a Ping-Pong table. There are even two kayaks and two paddleboards provided for use during your stay, with two adult-size and two child-size life vests included.

On the water, you can enjoy all types of boating, whether it be man-powered or motor-operated, and endless options for watersports can be had. Anglers can fish for crappie, beam, and bass on the lake, or fly fishers can head down to the Black Warrior River to try for some rainbow trout. The nearby community of Arley offers a grocery store, cafe, and restaurant. Marinas and waterfront dining options can be found around the reservoir.

The home's interior features modern farmhouse-style decor, with high-end appliances and bespoke finishes for a truly elegant vacation experience. Multiple living areas offer plenty of room to spread out. The impressive full kitchen is equipped with sparkling stainless steel appliances and ample counter space, making it easy to plan family-style feasts. Everyday essentials include central air-conditioning, free WiFi, and a private washer/dryer.
