Grace's Retreat - 10 minutes from I-65

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property, and it exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning views and tranquil surroundings. The house itself is a true gem, elegantly decorated and equipped with every comfort you could wish for. Each seat and bed was incredibly cozy, making it feel like our home away from home. One of the highlights of our stay was spending an entire day down at the dock fishing. It was a wonderful way to bond as a family and enjoy the peaceful beauty of the area. The serenity of the location provided the perfect escape from our busy lives. We appreciated the thoughtful touches from the owner, like the book of local restaurant menus and information available by the front door. We loved ordering delicious food through DoorDash from Hardee’s, and we were pleased to discover that Walmart delivery was available too, adding to our convenience. Hearing the ducks on the lake and taking in the fantastic views from the porch added to the charm of our stay. We made countless wonderful memories, and we’re already looking forward to returning in the summer. If you’re seeking a perfect getaway, this property is an absolute must!

Great stay. No problems with anything. Will hopefully stay again and do more fishing.

Beautiful place, very well maintained. Able to communicate with the host when needed.

Suzanne was very helpful and communicated well. The property was clean and nicely decorated. We loved the view from the deck. Lots of wildlife... from the eagle that was perched in the tree above to the little lizard walking across the railing and on side of house and the turtle and schools of fish in the lake below. Took a walk up to the park up the road where we spotted a Sandhill crane in the lake and a beautiful Red-tailed hawk setting on the playground slide. We enjoyed our stay, very relaxing.

The boat not being available was disappointing, but it turned out to be not that difficult to find one. The deck and walkway need a good pressure washing. Now that we have visited the area I would rent the unit again it was clean inside and well stocked. I would suggest a few beach towels. It was a little musty at first but we added a few glade plug ins and let it air out.

We enjoyed our weekend getaway at Grace’s Retreat. It was very quiet and peaceful. The home is very clean and has everything you need. We will definitely be back!

Great place to stay at the Lake.

Had a fun weekend despite the weather. Suzanne took care of a minor issue before we unpacked…super fast service. Looking to another visit when it warms up.June. Madison,AL

The host was great & very quick to respond when we needed help unlocking & shifting thermostat from heat to air (it was unseasonably warm outside for late Nov). Kitchen was well equipped for cooking & had everything we needed. It was just us & another couple staying & was perfect for low key, relaxing weekend indoors. Parking is a little tight at the house (especially turning around in larger vehicle); however it did mention additional parking was available at front of the road. Overall enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

We absolutely love this place. It was our third time staying at Grace's Retreat and I'm sure we will be back again. The house is amazing with beautiful views and just what we need for a weekend girls getaway!

nice

Great stay

Loved Grace’s Retreat!!! Kitchen was nicely stocked! House is beautifully decorated. The property suited our family perfectly, if six stars were a choice, we would give a six star rating!

Fun property, loved the big doors and the outside.

They supply everything you need except your groceries. Will use them again.

Smith Lake is our happy place, so we take trips there often. This is by far our favorite house so far! We will definitely be back. This house is beautiful and so comfortable. We had everything we needed and more. Very relaxing and enjoyable vacation!

Grace's Retreat met all our expectations. Our host communicated with use before and during our stay. Check-in was as simple as a text message and email. The layout is perfect for a weekend or month at the lake, with two King Suites that are clean and comfortable. The kitchen has everything needed to prepare meals, with spacious dining inside or on the deck overlooking the lake. There is a paved road that is fairly steep from the house down to the steps that lead to the dock. We walked the short roadway down and up several times a day to fish from the dock (we are both in our Sr years) and were a little winded, but we had fun. We managed to catch loads of Orange speckled Sunfish, Bluegills, Bass and a 4 pounds Catfish. So, bring your tackle and fish the back of the dock at dawn and dusk.We highly recommend Grace's Retreat.

Gorgeous home full of subtle luxury all on beautiful Smith Lake.

It was a wonderful place to stay! Thank you for making it such a great experience.

This is a wonderful property with great lake views andthe perfect decor for the lake. I brought my 98 yr oldmother and daughter to bring my mom back to Cullman,her hometown for over 60 years. Perfect spot for us.This is the third time for us here.

This is a lovely home. It is spacious and airy and the deck is wonderful. But it is not user friendly for older folks to get to the dock. And any one who has a mobility issue would not want to attempt it. The trees have grown up and block the view of the lake. There are plenty of seating options and the king size beds are very comfortable.

If you like cozy industrial vibe with garage doors that open to deck this is it with great view of lake ,quiet ,well stocked kitchen for cooking, 2 on suite bedrooms with king beds

It was just what us girls needed. Very clean, kitchen stocked with all necessities, beds were super comfy! Living room furniture cozy for relaxing!!!

We loved everything about this place! Location was great, check in was easy, beds were comfortable, showers worked well and had plenty of hot water. Rental was very well stocked. It had everything you might need for a stay and then some. Very highly recommend this place and already have plans to stay again in the future!

Awesome location in a really great lake house with everything that you’d need and want for a weekend away. 10/10

A relaxing setting with a nice deck view. Spacious bedrooms and cozy living area. We'll stocke

We recommend 10/10, clean, all the right cooking supplies, minimal and relaxing.

Check-in and out was a breeze and communication was AMAZING! The place was very nice and exactly what you see in the photos. We were provided so much information about the area for shopping and eating and found it super helpful. While we only stayed for a weekend, the place was stocked with everything you would need for a longer stay. The owners truly thought of everything! Beds were comfortable and seating was plentiful. This place is already on my list for another getaway.
