Loved the house, dock, and location on the lake. The house is only about 15 minutes from Cullman, makes it great to enjoy the lake and still have the convenience of a city near by. Property owner was extremely helpful with any questions we had.

Fun Stay

Cozy in the cove was a great place for our family. It had plenty of room for the 5 of us. The dock was a lot of fun for our kids! We also loved being close to Dodge City & Cullman. The only suggestion I would make is to update your listing pictures and make sure people know that the boat slip is unavailable.

Cozy Cove

We had a wonderful visit! Had 4 young kids, they loved swimming off the dock, kayaking, and fishing. We rented a boat and kept it on the dock. We used the grill every night and even though it was 95 degrees we used the fire pit and had smores one night, the kids also enjoyed the disc golf that is set up in the grill area. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this place.

Lovely weekend

We really enjoyed our stay! The property was very clean and we loved the layout of the house. There are a decent amount of stairs to the water but that is to be expected and the amazing dock made it well worth it! :) we enjoyed the fire pit and smores! Would recommend!

We loved our stay at Cozy in the Cove! The owners were very accommodating and allowed us to have an early check-in! We esp loved the two tier dock. Beds were comfortable and the large living room, dinning area, sitting room, and screened porch allowed plenty of room to spread out. Would stay again!!

We could not have had a better time!

We loved our stay at Cozy in the Cove! We had 3 families and it slept us all very comfortably. The house was awesome, the fire pit overlooking the lake was awesome, but the dock was the prize winner! Can’t go wrong with this place and Angela was super responsive and so good to work with! We will definitely be back.

The Perfect Lake home !

We loved our stay, beautiful vacation home with everything you need, great location. Thanks for use of kayaks my grandson loved kayaking, he’s 5 loves the water, normally goes to the beach, but said he loved it here more and wants to come back. Everything one could ask for to have the best time, from the fire pit, gas grill, charcoal grill, life jackets , great deck, just jump in and swim !! Will definitely be back !

The owner, Angela, and her lake home, were WONDERFUL!

I could not have asked for a kinder owner to work with during this trip. Angela's communications were timely and helpful. Her lake home was perfect for our family. It was updated, clean, and the lake views are gorgeous. We will stay here again if given the opportunity to return to Cullman, AL and Smith Lake. Don't look any further - book now! You'll be glad you did!
