Amazing Place

We were absolutely blown away by this house & the hospitality of the owners, Keith & Cindy. They gave us tons of information leading up to our arrival. We walked in to a lovely fresh smell, and an incredible charcuterie box, card and balloons the hosts left for the 50th birthday we were there to celebrate! This house is very inviting, beautifully decorated and has everything you need to cook in the kitchen. The bedding and beds were amazingly comfortable, the property was quiet with sounds of nature and most importantly SO clean! It was a perfect, quiet, serene location that served as our home base as we explored the local areas and it was an easy drive to Talladega for the NASCAR race. If we ever find ourselves back in this area we will definitely stay again!

Beautiful Home & Great Amenities

The listing doesn't do justice to HOW NICE THIS PROPERTY IS! This is no "builder's grade" vacation home. It was more like renting a friend's place. The cove location on the lake is also a plus and it was easy to get to Auburn for the game. The amenities were exceptional - the hosts have thought of everything! I will say to definitely CONSIDER THE POSSIBLITY OF EXCEEDING THE 6 PERSON GUEST LIMIT. YOU WILL BE CHARGED AN EXTRA FEE ($50/night/person) FOR EVERY NIGHT AND EVERY PERSON WHO STAYS AT THE PROPERTY.

About the host

Hosted by Keith Smith

Host profile image
We are high school sweethearts & have been married for 30 years. We have 2 adult sons, with our eldest in the Space Force & our youngest attending Auburn. Keith is from the Auburn area & Cindy is a 4th generation local. Cindy’s grandfather & great-grandfather worked on the Smith Mountain Fire Tower when in commission as fire watchmen for the lake. We bought our home in 2014 & since becoming empty nesters, we have decided to share our piece of paradise with you.

Why they chose this property

Smith Mountain Lake Estates is a quiet and family friendly neighborhood with some of the best neighbors. We have a mens breakfast group, a women's monthly lunch group and we host annual fish frys. The lake's first fire tower (a 2nd one is in construction) is located in our neighborhood that offers some of the best lake views and hiking around the lake. We are 2 miles from a public boat ramp and park, 8 minutes to Dadeville for food and shopping and a 35 minute drive to Auburn University. A locally owned gas station is about 3 miles away with live bait, non-ethenol gas and snacks.
