Cozy Smith Lake Cabin with Flat Lot in Double Springs/Bankhead- Pet Friendly

Outside - Dirty, grass not cut back from property so we had snakes, weed killer containers and gas can left where kids could get to them, NO KAYAKS, dock ladder broken and not usable, fire pit full of weeds so not usable, ants/spiders and bees were bad.....Inside - floors, table, island, counters, bedside tables dirty. No light in fridge, dishes missing, no towels or washcloths, many spides downstairs and none of the deadbolts locked! We were able to fix the deck ladder. We did did find the towels still in the dryer and we did find the dishes still in the dish washer. I swept and vacuumed the whole place. I also weeded the fire pit so we could use it. We also temporarily fixed the dock ladder so we could use it. This was our 2nd time to this property. The 1st time it was wonderful but it was not worth the trip this time. The drive in is horrible and a normal car will NOT MAKE IT THERE.

The cabin is very cute. Someone with children this is great! It is not secluded. It has a neighbor within 20 feet of you and the porches are facing each other. If you like privacy, it’s not the place. The place is just cute with plenty to do. But the house next door that close is a deal breaker for privacy.

4 nights was perfect getaway! Property is very peaceful (especially in late October) with no one else around. Road in is long and dusty so be prepared to dust off or keep belongings in the vehicle. Recommend a SUV or truck s the last little stretch of road is rough. Overall we highly recommend!

Pro’s: 1-Waaay out away from everything. There are other houses nearby, one very close, but overall we felt very secluded. Obviously, the negative to this is that you can’t just make a quick trip to the store. 2-Right on the water! 3-cozy, but maybe a little too small if you go over 8 people. 4-the porches!! 5-the fish were biting :) 6-easy check-in and check-out 7-great host with quick communication! 8-well stocked kitchen supplies to cook and supplement the food we brought. 9-kayaks and fishing poles provided Con’s: 1-the roads. If you have a small/low vehicle, it will be hard to make it. You need a truck or SUV. 2-the spiders. The porches are full of spiders, spider webs, etc. A simple cleaning with a brush/broom every week would go a long way to helping this. 3-the loft. Super cute, but all beds. No usable space, and NO privacy. 4-not handicap friendly. 5-need downstairs TV’s to be smart TV’s That is just info I thought would be usable if you are considering staying here. We had a GREAT time and would definitely consider staying here again if we go back to Smith Lake (which is beautiful!).

This was perfect for our family. We have 2 boys 3 and 6 years old and they had a blast building camp fires, fishing, kayaking, and boating. We will definitely be back!

We sought out a property to ensure Relaxation And we enjoyed every day there! The water is crystal clear and the dock is a great place to fish and hangout!

We had an incredible stay at this lake house, perfectly nestled in a peaceful cove of Smith Lake. The location is well off the beaten path, offering great seclusion and privacy, which made it a perfect retreat. However, keep in mind that there are no stores or gas stations for many miles, so it’s best to plan ahead! We enjoyed kayaking, swimming, and fishing, and even rented a boat for our last two days, which made the trip even more memorable. The house was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. This was a special trip for us, and we are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend for anyone looking to create lasting memories in a peaceful, secluded setting!

Best family vacation ever.

The house is a very nice place to stay. Very clean on the inside but the porches where we liked to hang out had a few too many spider webbs. Just needed a good pressure washing. It was very easy to make contact with the owners. They were quick to respond with answers to any questions. The road getting to the property is rough. We had our boat with us and it was extremely difficult to get the boat down that road. Definitely recommend putting in at clear creek if you have a boat any larger than a small aluminum boat. The boat launch at the house is also very narrow and steep with a tight turn, so also not good for a boat any larger than a small fishing boat. It is 40 min to any town, store, or restaurant which is what we wanted until we needed a part for our boat. There is no quick trip to get anywhere. Overall it was a good trip and we enjoyed the house. We would definitely stay there again if we were not bringing our boat.

The rustic cabin is in a remote area with an amazing view and access to the lake. It is not conducive to individuals with limited mobility. The access road is very challenging especially for cars, it’s best suited for SUVs or trucks. The dock and fire pit made our stay even more enjoyable.
