Waterfront Stunning Views-Smith Lake, AL-5 Bedrooms-Near I-65-Clearwater Shores

Clearwater Shores on Smith Lake, AL is a 3,800 SF 5 Bedroom, 3 1/2 Bathroom Lake Home with incredible long views of Smith Lake and Kinney Mountain in the Simpson Creek/Ryan Creek area. Sleeps up to 12 including 3 King Bedrooms with lake views, 1 King Family Suite with adjacent Bedroom with 2 Double Trundle beds (4 Twins). 4 Kings is very rare!

Clearwater Shores vacation home has a very comfortable, large Living Room with a relaxing seating area with great views adjacent to a fully equipped Kitchen with NEW Samsung stainless steel appliances plus Dining on a custom-made square dining table for 12 plus 2 bar stools at the kitchen peninsula. There is also a Large Flat Screen TV. The adjacent Main Deck has plenty of new Pollywood seating including a dining table and a bar height table with three chairs…all with incredible views and a new Traeger Smoker Grill. There are plans to fully renovate the kitchen in early 2024.

There is great 12 volt, switched and solar lighting located throughout the property. The lighting creates a great mood in all areas.

The Lower-Level Family Room is perfect for families or groups of friends...with a pool table, air hockey, four vintage video games, piano, guitar and large screen TV to watch "the game". Even the Lower Level still has dramatic views of the lake. There is outdoor seating on the patio plus a Weber Grill. Play cornhole on the flat lawn just outside the door. Table for four and a swing chair on the Lower-Level patio.

The Bedrooms are large with comfortable beds. Three of them (Kings) have incredible views of Smith Lake. There are blackout drapes so our guests can sleep in! We can fit a blow-up mattress in two of the King Bedrooms if necessary. We have them for you. We just need to know to set them up. The Master has a large, newly renovated en-suite bathroom.

Our guests love the Outdoor Spaces! There are numerous outdoor areas with comfortable seating...on the Main Floor Deck with all new z pollywood furniture with a Traeger Grill, a Patio on the Lower Level with seating, a swing and a Weber Grill plus two flat lawn areas for games or relaxing We have a new dock with one complimentary guest slip plus a swim platform. The Lakeside Deck now has a Pavilion with soft seating and a bar with a "river table" top...spectacular views. There is also a fire pit area with gorgeous blue Adirondack Chairs and...yes...a view of the very clear Smith Lake.

There is a laundry area with a full-sized washer and dryer plus an iron and ironing board on the Main Level There is a supply of laundry detergent as well. We have dog bowls and a few treats for our fury friends.

Clearwater Shores has a brand-new dock with a guest slip to use for their own boat or a rental. Swim off the new dock swim platform into the clear Smith Lake. There are numerous places to rent pontoons nearby.

Smith Lake is about 21,200 acres with about 600 miles of shoreline. It is the second cleanest lake in the United States next to Lake Tahoe. You can see to the bottom in a lot of places...but, it is also deep and very swimmable. It is one the best fishing lakes in the Southeast with Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Stripers, Hybrids and more. Smith Lake is home to numerous fishing tournaments held throughout the year. There is parking for trucks and trailers for our professional fishermen.

Clearwater Shores is truly special. If you haven't read about it yet...these are some of the best views on the lake. Also, it feels very private! Clearwater Shores is close to Trident Marine by boat (15 minutes) or car (9 minutes) which has a great restaurant called The Grille at Trident Marina...and boat rentals. There are many other marinas where you can rent mostly pontoons as well. There is a slip for ya right in front of Clearwater Shores on our dock. It is also an easy drive to Smith Lake State Park which has a public ramp. By the way, the fishing is excellent! Largemouth and Spotted Bass, Striped Bass, Crappie and Catfish! There is even fly fishing for Rainbow Trout below the damn...ask Bob Ekman about that.

Clearwater Shores is equal distance (about an hour) from both Birmingham, AL and Huntsville, AL and just 15 minutes off Highway I-65 at Exit 299 (Dodge City, AL). This unique lake home is less than 2 1/2 Hours from Nashville, TN, 90 minutes from Chattanooga, TN, a little over 3 Hours from Memphis, TN and Atlanta, GA and about 4 Hours from Jackson, MS. Best place to fly into is probably Birmingham or even Nashville.

Come spend time at Clearwater Shores at Smith Lake and you will be back. See ya'll soon! Thank you.

A great spring break vacation
Clearwater Shores was a great house for our families. The accommodations were perfect. All of the bedrooms were spacious with very comfortable beds. Fabulous updated kitchen. Robert, the owner made sure we had everything we needed at the house. He checked in with us a couple times during our stay to make sure everything was as promised. The property manager Monique, was fabulous. She was quick to respond to any questions we had and did anything she could to make sure our stay was enjoyable as possible. We would definitely consider staying at Clear Water Shores again.

Highly recommended!
This home was warm, welcoming and wonderful! We especially enjoyed the view and the fire pit! And the owners were so kind in making this a dog-friendly home. We enjoyed bringing our four-legged family members with us! The owners/caretaker thought of everything and were so communicative. There was a slight chance of bad weather and they went above and beyond offering extra amenities to keep us comfortable! You can’t go wrong with this location!

Family Christmas 2023
First off, the owner is very responsive, very helpful and communicates well. Can't say enough about the views from this house, all three floors have great views. the house was decorated for Christmas, which was greatly appreciated, and the kitchen was fully stocked for us to create our Christmas dinner. Rooms were large, beds were comfortable and there were sufficient bathrooms in the house. The house was exceptionally clean. 5 star property in every way!

Christmas Getaway
The house is AMAZING! Robert was very eager to answer ANY questions we had, before arrival. The pictures of this house DO NOT do it justice! The whole property is breathtaking. It was very private. There was plenty of room for my wife, me, and my 5 kids. There was enough room where we weren’t tripping over each other. We all had our own spaces. Even though it was cold weather, we still enjoyed our time, inside the house. The kids (and I, hehe) loved the arcade games, pool table, and air hockey. It gave me a chance to teach the kiddos how to play pool. There’s SO much to do outside, as well. My girls and I fished off the dock. There’s numerous places outside to enjoy time together! All you need to bring is the food! The house had EVERYTHING and then some! We had an early Christmas dinner, one night. The dinner table was perfect for my big family. The next night, I made use of the Pellet Grill and grilled out. There’s also a VERY nice fire pit where we built a nice fire and made s’mores! I could go on and on about the property! We can not wait to come back in warmer weather to enjoy the lake more! The view from the master bedroom is AMAZING to wake up to! Robert is an amazing host! Do NOT hesitate to book Clearwater Shores!!

Fantastic Thanksgiving
The eight members of my family and two of our friends stayed over Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time. House is beautiful and so is the property. The kitchen is the best equipped rental I have ever seen. The game room was great for when it was raining but we were outside much of the time. Our grandsons are avid fisherman and had a great time catching and releasing catfish, bass & other species right from the dock. They loved it and are already asking when we will come back. Owner and property manager are great at giving local info and helpful advice. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for all of us. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property to anyone looking to vacation in this area.

Bi-Annual Jeep Trip
As we ventured for our 2023 Fall Jeep trip, we found a gem on shores of Lewis Smith Lake in Bemen, AL. The property is stunning and has every amenity you need for little piece of paradise. Beautiful scenary, immaculate condition, upgraded to the latest and greatest interior and exterior designs. Super clean and super fun! Very close to Stoney Lonesome Offroad park. However, what made this destination special were the owners, the Ekman's and the property manage Monique. The nicest most accommodating hosts we have ever worked with in the 18 years we have been booking through VRBO.

Awesome Property
Clearwater Shores is a beautiful home and property that provided our family and friends a place to make lifelong memories. The house is beautifully furnished and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. There were plenty of games for the kids to play and the arcade was a blast! The views are absolutely incredible from sunrise to sunset. The owners are friendly and were accommodating from the moment we booked the property. They answered any questions and gave recommendations to make our trip even more pleasant. If you’re looking for a place to get away, relax, and enjoy beautiful Smith Lake look no further, Clearwater Shores is the place for you.
