This cozy house was perfect for us! The property was well equipped with dishes and cooking utensils. The grill was great! The dock and kayaks were great and the dock was on deep water. The branch of Smith lake that this house is on is super convenient to Trident marina for gas and dining. Wifi worked great.
A great place by the lake! Easy to get to, and a great spot on the lake as well. Views were relaxing, and we all had a great time at this place. Kitchen had everything we needed, and the overall stay was just perfect. Our kids spent every single day in the water.
Wonderful place to stay! Everything was just perfect for our little family! The coziness of the living room over looking the lake was my favorite! The cabin came fully equipped with all your needs and was very clean. So glad we are getting to go back for more family fun Labor Day 2023! This is a must stay!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We have stayed in many VRBO places, and this has by far been the best experience. Everything that we could have possibly needed is here. The host has been attentive and accommodating. The house is clean and inviting and feels ‘like home’. They even have a plan for rainy days- to make cookies! And they include a recipe, along with ALL the ingredients!! That was a hit with the kids! We will be coming back!
Took a trip with some lifelong friends.
The owner was very responsive and pleasant. Property is just as listed. Honestly, we overpacked for the stay bc the cabin is well prepared to host a small family or friends group. All of the cooking utensils needed were provided. Access to the lake is better than average (less stairs than most 😀). We had one issue during the stay which the owner remedied swiftly and without having to be prompted which is great customer service! Everything worked and was as listed! Great location close to trident marina and the Grill!
Gorgeous and well appointed, this cabin has it all. The view is spectacular, and the host has made everything so welcoming. She communicated with us several times and gave great recommendations for places to eat and boat rentals. We enjoyed our short stay and would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a home away from home on Smith Lake!
The property was immaculate and the location on the water was perfect for the kids to swim and tube behind the boat. The owners were VERY communicative and wonderful! We had the best time and hope to visit again soon!
Beautiful property as pictured! Amazing time with family on the lake, plenty of games available to entertain during rain showers. Host was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions as well as provided recommendations. Would most definitely stay again!
Cozy cabin on the Lake! Perfect location to getaway and disconnect from it all. Our host was super and reached out to us to ensure we were settled in and to answer any questions. Especially loved the soft cozy throws on the comfy couch on those chilly mornings.
We had so much fun and the house was awesome! Beautiful property with a great view. They have everything you need!!! Definitely would rent this place again!
The property location is perfect. We also loved the boat slip and lift. It was very convenient to everything on the lake and little grocery store. We only wish it was a little larger. The adults and kids needed separate hang out spaces at night. Maybe screen in the back porch or roof and screen in the pergola area.
It was very clean and kitchen was stocked.
Piegion roost was very clean, comfortable and accommodating, great outdoor space
The cabin was very easy to get to, very clean, great decor. Outdoor space was awesome... Very well stocked kitchen and shed with extra lake supplies. Very pleased.
This cabin was perfect for a long weekend stay with our family of five. My husband and I took the master, our two preteen girls took the bunk room, and our college age daughter had the third bedroom. We had plenty of space. The cabin was even nicer than the pictures reflect. The owners thought of everything. It was neat and tidy. The kitchen was fully stocked. Lots of lake toys for renters use. And we really enjoyed the location on the water. We’d love to return.
We loved the property! It was tucked away in a cove with less boat traffic than the main water. The dock was ideal for swimming and spending time during the day! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
We cannot say enough good things about our stay at this property. Both the inside and the outside were even better than the pictures. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to pretty much cook all of our meals there. The lake toys were such a nice addition. Our kids ranged in age from 7 to 14 and they were all completely entertained. The dock is in a great location for just swimming and enjoying the day. The owner was extremely communicative and responded to questions instantly. We would love to stay at this property again!
We really enjoyed this cabin. The landscaping and view from the cabin is gorgeous. The kitchen was well stocked. The dock was great and my boys enjoyed the kayaks and the lily pad. We hope to return soon!
Just what we were looking for: a quiet getaway for Thanksgiving, beautiful view, spacious deck, cozy and clean, everything we needed in the kitchen, a nice day in Cullman and a super nice property manager.
