A Private Point on Smith Lake: Under new management

Tucked inside a gated, 16-home cliffside community, this home sits on the neighborhood's premier point lot - which means 270-degree water views from nearly every room, including the kitchen. This 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath custom home sleeps 14 across two living spaces, with an intentionally comfortable, cozy setup for the family to cook, relax, and make memories on the lake.

Spend the day on the water: walk down to your private dockand boat lift, paddle out in one of four kayaks or three stand-up paddleboards, or fire up the outdoor kitchen (Big Green Egg and propane grill) for a lakeside dinner. As the sun goes down, gather around the Adirondack-ringed fire pit under the trees.

You're 7 minutes from Trident Marina and 12 from Triple Creek Marina if you're bringing or renting a boat, and 30 minutes from Cullman for groceries and dining. We also offer optional grocery delivery and boat rental coordination - just ask, and we'll have it ready before you arrive.

This is our family's lake home, and we treat every guest stay like we'd want our own.



While staying at our home you will enjoy:

• Fire Pit

• Outdoor dining and decking overlooking the water

• Outdoor Kitchen with bar and 2 grills (Big Green Egg and Propane)

• 4 Kayaks and paddles

• 3 Stand Up Paddleboards (SUPs)

• SmartTVs in w/ cable, smart lock, ring door bell

• Easy walk to the dock

• Boat slip with lift for parking your boat



The house is conveniently located within:



- 7min to Trident Marina (boat gas, restaurant, and boat rental)!

- 12min Triple Creek Marina (boat gas and boat rental)

-30min to downtown Cullman for groceries and restaurants.



Please note: this property has an extremely steep driveway and we highly recommend bringing an elevated 4WD vehicle to park and unload in the driveway.

    Beautiful home, views, and property. This home had great sized rooms and options for beds. This was a women's retreat group and our group loved their stay! Clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and incredible views. We would love to return!

    Good for family vacations. House layout perfect for families with children. Boat dock had everything we needed except the lights on walkway and dock did not work all week. Dangerous situation without lights. Kitchen has very little room for dry food storage. Big frig and freezer was helpful!

    A really great location. The views from the house were spectacular. The houses in the development are kind of close together, but it never felt crowded. The kitchen setup was great, easy for entertaining, with an extra refrigerator in the basement as well. There were a few issues regarding cleanliness and some equipment, but the hosts were very quick to respond. Would stay again.

    Our stay was great!! The house is beautiful and had more than enough room for our two families and grandmother. We could have easily had one more family with us. The only negative for us was the logistics involved with bringing boats with us. We had to drop boats and trailers off to be able to get to the house then unload and go hook back up to go launch the boats. The nearest marina we could find was a 15ish minute truck drive away. I wish I had understood this better before booking. I still would have chosen this property but would have been better prepared for arrival.

    The house was lovely, easy walk to the dock. Water toys were plentiful, the house was well appointed with a well stocked kitchen for cooking. The driveway is pretty steep but our Chevy Tahoe had no problem getting out.

    Our family had a wonderful time on the lake. The home was beautifully decorated with lots of added amenities. The view is beautiful. Peaceful surroundings. The only challenge we had was no hand rails on the stairs. It was only an issue for my 85 year old parents and 3 year old grandkids. Just something to keep in mind when deciding on sleeping arrangements.
