Cabin C at Smith Lake Alabama Cabin’s
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (52)
"there was some construction activity on other side of lake that was a bit intrusive of the peacefulness; the one bathroom is attached to master bedroom, so that guest had to walk through master to use the toilet. (minor inconvenience); eating options were at quite a distance, since the grille at the closest marina is closed M&T. I would recommend making this obvious in the listing, but the view was wonderful and I spent the day reading on the porch, which was very relaxing."

A-Deck With a View. A unique lakeside home on Smith Lake
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (39)
"This home and place is so special. We loved that every one in our family had a space for themselves to sleep and so many spaces to just sit and be quiet, to fish, to read and relax. Night time camp fires overlooking the water and watching the night sky. The kitchen was fully stocked so that we were able to grill and cook our favorites all day. A great place to get away from it all. Beds were nice and cozy too and host was so quick to answer any questions we had while there. Highly recommend for...

Cabin B at Smith Lake Alabama Cabins

"Well the VRBO website was down so check in was difficult and the owner was unavailable at the time we arrived. The cabin inside was clean but you should plan on bringing TP, paper towel and things like that. (There are stores nearby ) The control for the AC is not in the downstairs cabin where we stayed so we got hot at night and the porch facing the lake had not been swept or cleaned in awhile. The price and the location made up for the inconveniences so I’d definitely book again."

The house was extremely spacious and accommodating for all 20 of us. EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN! Breathtaking views of the lake no matter where you are in the house!! NO steps at all to the dock was a huge plus! The house has three levels and two full kitchens stocked with every kitchen gadget you can think of. Paddle boards, kid’s kayaks, a lily pad, and...

"Fall break from Nashville couldn't have been better! We loved the place- it was so clean and very comfortable for 4 adults and a group of kids ages 13-17. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The bathrooms were new and clean. A lot of attention went into the details and we appreciated it so much! We can't thank you enough for such a great family weekend! The only con I can come up with was the cleanliness of the entire pool deck. It was old, filled with leaves - leaves piled in...

Secluded, quiet & beautiful land complete with a gas grill, fire pit, porch seating for cool evening dinners, spacious dock for lazy days fishing or swimming and a canoe with paddle’s & various sized life jackets for exploring lake Smith.

"My mother grew up in this area, and I thought it would be a nice place for her to stay as well as make it easy for other family to find us. The cabin is very clean (recently updated), well stocked and so comfortable. We had older family members come and visit, and they had no trouble getting into the cabin. It's the perfect size and there was enough space within the cabin to move around and not totally feel on top of one another. The sound of the waterfall at night is so relaxing that you can't...

"The house is exactly as described! Beautiful part of the lake and we had peaceful mornings with coffee on the back porch. The boat ramp is so close and easy to use for your boat. Only negative is the mattresses need to be replaced. We had 6 adults & everything in the house functions well. We brought a Blackstone table top griddle where we made most of our meals outside. Thank you for sharing your home with us!"

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (21)
"Adorable cabin at the end of the lane. Excellent amenities, front porch was where we spent most of or time. Sweet little getaway for a couple or small family in excellent condition. However, it is small; one bedroom doubles as the television room. There are no laundry facilities, and no place to really "unpack." The only dining area is on the porch. Also, bring your own toilet paper. HOWEVER - the shower is surprisingly great! Four of us all got hot showers, and the pressure is better than we've...
