We greatly enjoyed our stay at Claireâs home. She was very good at communicating and answering any questions we had. The drive to cullman for dinner is not bad at all! This house is in a great location, itâs a great place to relax. We definitely will be back:)

SilverRock Lakeside Retreat*Community Pool*Wtrfrnt
Love the community. We have stayed at various houses in the area and thought this was one of the best values and places weâve stayed. Very quiet the week we were there.

Allie's on the Rocks pet-friendly lake bungalow
We had a great stay with room to spread out and great views. The home was furnished with everything we needed plus some- we even had a chance to sit around the fire pit for a while one night. Highly recommend!

Cozy Cottage Campfires & Sunsets. No steps to dock
The place was cozy and super cute. The living room and kitchen area were beautifully done and cozy. Fav part of bedroom was the window right there at your head, you could lay awake in the morning and stare at the water. The bathroom was nice too. The outdoor living area was really nice. We spent probably 80% of our time there. Great boat dock too. We enjoyed kayaking and fishing. My husband caught a nice sized bass. The fire pit area was very nice also, we sat there and watched the sunset. The landscaping and solar lights are nicely done and gave us ideas for our own home. We chose place as a mini trip for a special occasion. Thanks for a great stay!

Beach House on the Lake
A great place for three generations. Had two graduations in Tuscaloosa and a wedding at the Tine Farm as well. Plenty of room for the 9 of us. Beds were very comfortable. Liz was very responsive and had well explained instructions.

Your HGTV Lakefront Designer Home Awaits!
Sunset Point was wonderful! It was well-adorned, spacious, beautifully-decorated, and in a great location. Having access to the convenient, secure neighborhood boat launch was a big plus. We enjoyed hours of fun with the provided paddle boards, lilly pad, and kayaks. The arcade, games, hot tub, and fire pit (with firewood provided) were also favorites. The master shower was wonderful, the bathrooms were stocked unusually well, and the kitchen boasted of a great island, coffee and waffle bar, and ample staple items. The home offered comfortable living spaces on each of the 3 floors, which was great for our multiple families. The wrap-around back porch offered ample seating and beautiful lake views. Both the inside and outside provided convenient spaces of solitude as well. I especially liked reading my book from a chair positioned between boulders on the way to and overlooking the pier. Bill was very responsive. We loved our time at his beautiful place and highly recommend it! đđ»

Comfy Smith Lake Cottage - 3/2 near Duncan Bridge
The house was beautiful. Extremely clean and comfortable. The beds were exceptionally nice. My family had an awesome stay. The cozy cottage had everything you need to feel right at home. Beautiful location and view. The double decker pier was terrific, and allowed us to utilize and stay on the lake and outside longer. The large patio is perfect for relaxing, reading, or taking a nap. We ate dinner every night outside. We hope to come back again and again for our annual lake trips.

Relaxing 4-Bedroom Cottage on Smith Lake
The place is exactly as described and pictured. We had 3 couples and had plenty of space and seating. We brought food and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the cookware we needed. We had a boat and utilized the dock without issue. The place was very clean. The host was quick to respond to all questions. Wonderful stay! Would book again!

Four Seasons Lakefront Retreat
Leigh Anne was an amazing host! She was quick to respond to questions and very accommodating. The delicious cinnamon rolls she left as a welcome gift were such a sweet treat! The home was even more beautiful than the pictures! Every room was gorgeous, cozy and felt so well thought out. We had our family Thanksgiving here and the kitchen was well stocked with everything needed (pots,pans, cutting boards, knives, serving utensils etc). The property was breath taking. There were so many places to hike, fish, relax, play and soak it all in! It was an amazing trip (my sister got engaged on the trip so that was special too)!! We loved every minute and will definitely be back!

Smith Lake Glamping - ToNoMo Vintage Airstream
Jim was so flexible. At first I thought i was going to get there early on friday so I wrote him if I could check in early. He said I could be there at noon. We did not end up leaving texas until friday evening so we arrived around 10 am on saturday. The place looked so amazing I still wanted to stay an extra day anyway, I asked if I could add an extra day to my stay since we missed the friday (of course we meant to pay) and he said we definitely could and since we missed friday we could stay the extra day for free! I intended to pay but he said it was fine! Then he walked my kids and I through the main property. The deck, the boathouse, the lake! Wow!!!! It was so beautiful and peaceful! It was like a scene from a movie. Jim offered up sodas and waters and told us if we needed any we can get some at anytime. Walked us inside the main house and said we could get coffee and overall a great and kind host. While out he was messaging me on the AirBNB app to suggest places to visit! đđŒ

Cozy Lake Cottage

White Oak: Modern Lakeside Cottage (Boat Rental)
My family's stay at White Oak was just what we all needed. Situated on a lake, the views were magical. The large windows & back porch captured the natural beauty and the tranquil surroundings. This location is perfect for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The house is near Bankhead National Forest with many scenic trails and waterfalls that are easy to hike with small kids, then you can return to the house and hop on the peddle boat or enjoy some smores by the outdoor fire pit. The house was clean and updated, & the hosts were very responsive.

Touch of Grey
This was a great location, and a beautiful home! We loved the outdoor space and the kids had the best time playing on the lily pad and kayaks! We would love to return to this home for another vacation. The communication was great between the owners and our group!

The Treehouse at Fire Tower Camp
We couldnât have found a better place to stay for a long weekend. This little slice of heaven is perfect for anyone who wants a getaway! The house is so cool! Truly a treehouse experience. The deck was AWESOME for spending time on. We hiked, counted how many frogs we could find, kayaked, swam, and relaxed. William is an excellent host and so friendly. Will always recommend!

Dock Holiday with Hot Tub / 2 Story Dock
I highly recommend staying at this lake house. If you are looking for a place to relax and have all the things you need to have a wonderful time then this is the place for you. Willâs hospitality and communication was the best Iâve ever experienced with an AIRBNB stay. The pictures of the home look amazing online but when you get to the lake house it is even more beautiful.

Pintail Point on Smith Lake
The house was beautiful, and the boat dock area was so much fun. Our family had an absolute blast. Josh was a wonderful host and gave great recommendations for fishing spots, local restaurants, and much more. He provided lots of snacks and bottled water. There are alot of steps to get down to the boat dock, but it is so worth it. It is the perfect place to bring a family for loads of water fun, including swimming, kayaking, and fishing. We 100% recommend staying here. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much, Josh!

Lake House w/ Million Dollar Views on Smith Lake!
If you are looking for an older lake home you can sit back and enjoy, this is your place. The dock with kayaks, paddle boards, lily pad, high jump off dock could not have been better. My family had a great time. The only downside is it has MANY steps down to the dock. BUT, the house up on the cliff makes for the million dollar veiw.

4 Bedrooms 2 1/2 Bath stunning water front views
We absolutely loved our stay! The house was comfortable and a great layout for 2 families. Jason was a responsive host and would look to book this house again.

Newly Listed-Renovated 4/2 w/ NO steps to water
We had the best week at this lake house! It was beautiful and private. It was well stocked also! We loved how there wasnât a huge hill with stairs to get to dock. We spent a lot of time swimming and having the lily pad and kayaks was an awesome addition! The house is spacious and the outdoor area is great. The host was very nice and willing to help with whatever was needed. We will definitely be visiting again!

Luxury Lake House W/ Amazing View & Private Hot Tu
We enjoyed our stay. The house met our expectations. Our host was very responsive. We definitely would stay here again.
Your guide to Lewis Smith Lake
Welcome to Lewis Smith Lake
Sprawling over 21,000 acres and boasting 500 miles of shoreline, massive manmade Lewis Smith Lake (or just âSmith Lakeâ) is a water wonderland that offers a dizzying array of recreation options. Anglers flock here to try their luck at snagging spotted bass, sharing the crystal-clear waters with paddle boarders, kayakers, and swimmers, while adventure seeking cliff-divers take daring plunges from towering rock formations. Shoreline parks offer playgrounds for kids, and open-air pavilions host festivals and live music.
As you navigate the lake, you may pass âThe Castle,â a quirky four-story waterfront mansion that resembles a medieval fortress, complete with rows of arched windows, a brick tower, and an imposing stone wall. And while you can find just about everything you need on the waterfront, from restaurants to gear rental, venture beyond its shores and you can explore acres of hiking trails and waterfalls in the abundant forests that ring the lake.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lewis Smith Lake
Spring and summer, when temperatures are warm or downright hot and humid, are the ideal time to enjoy the cooling waters of Lewis Smith Lake. These months also usher in festival season, when surrounding towns throw spirited outdoor gatherings, and local businesses host waterfront firework shows and concerts. Every April the nearby town of Cullman throws a strawberry festival where you can sample the fruit baked into pies, blended into margaritas, and folded into more inventive concoctions, such as a strawberry pretzel salad. Fall can be a great time to visit if you prefer milder yet warm weather, and when temperatures dip in winter, you can still pull on a jacket and idle away a few hours fishing on the lake.
Top things to do in Lewis Smith Lake
William Bankhead National Forest
To the west of the lake lie 180,000 uninterrupted acres of pristine wilderness known as âthe land of a thousand waterfalls.â In addition to those dreamy natural wonders, youâll find bluffs, canyons, and old-growth forests. Hiking, birdwatching, kayaking, and horseback riding are all options here.
Natural Bridge Park
This privately owned park in the city of Haleyville is home to an unusual rock formation: a 148-foot-long arch formed of sandstone and iron ore. Reportedly the longest natural bridge east of the Rocky Mountains, visitors are not allowed to tromp across its span, but you can hike underneath it.
Ave Maria Grotto
Brother Joseph Zoettl lived at St. Bernard Abbey in Cullman for nearly 70 years and devoted much of that time to constructing miniature replicas of important religious and famous sites from around the world. Zoettlâs intricate recreations are built of stone, cement, seashells, and broken glass and pottery, and blanket the site of a former stone quarry. Visitors can wander, Godzilla-like, through his tiny world on a pathway that carries you past 125 teensy buildings, including St. Peter's Basilica and the Colosseum.
