Welcome to "The Lilly Pad" Waterfront Resort Cottage at Smith Lake!
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (46)
"The little house is precious and very comfortable. It was clean and had everything we needed for a long weekend. There were a couple of things that need addressing. These are minor and owner may not be aware. Wine opener is broke and needs to be replaced. The chairs on the dock deck are broke as well and need replacing. We didn’t bring any chairs with us. The only other thing was that the patios and decks were not cleaned before we got there. Trash was under the chairs as well as leaves and...

"I saw Smith Lake on the movie, Someone Like You, and told my husband next time we go to Birmingham we must stay here. Smith Lake was even more gorgeous in person! We stay in vacation rentals several times a year and have been to many lake destinations. The views from this house are tremendous pictures cannot capture the true beauty and serenity of this location. The house was immaculately clean and has been very well kept. I spent most of my time relaxing on the covered deck taking in the beauty...

"We had a great visit! The house is very remote, no cell service, which was what I was looking for. The back deck is awesome. The house is surrounded by trees and the deck stayed cool all day so that is where we spend most of our time unwinding. We spent hours on the deck and saw just one mosquito during our three days stay. The hike to the beach was enjoyable. When we did go inside the AC kept the temperature quite comfortable. The beds were comfortable and at night it was very quiet which led...

Luxury Lakefront Cottage w/ Kayaks and SUPs
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (23)
"Our stay was great!! The house is beautiful and had more than enough room for our two families and grandmother. We could have easily had one more family with us. The only negative for us was the logistics involved with bringing boats with us. We had to drop boats and trailers off to be able to get to the house then unload and go hook back up to go launch the boats. The nearest marina we could find was a 15ish minute truck drive away. I wish I had understood this better before booking. I still...

"This home is cozy and has a great view to relax and enjoy nature. We came to Cullman for Rock the South and this was a convenient location and a nice place to relax and unwind. Bring your kayaks boats and jet ski as there is a dock ready to use. You may want to check water levels and such. Lewis Smith Lake is a nice lake !!! When I reached out to the host, they replied promptly we will recommend and stay again !"

Secluded Alabama Retreat - Lewis Smith Lake Access
3.0 star property
6.0 out of 10, (1)
"It was an average place. Nothing fancy. It is basically what you would think of as a cottage on a lake. Mismatched broken furniture. Dirty mattress on upstairs bunk bed. Didn’t see any bugs but I’m thinking I may have gotten head lice from the pillows. The skillets and stuff had to be scrubbed before we could use them. We did see some sort of water bug that’s to be expected on a lake. The internet is horrible I had to use my hotspot for a firestick on the tv. No one else’s phones would work on...

"My wife and I were in town for family business. We have many family members in the region, and we wanted to stay far off the grid. I’m glad we did. No phone, no cable, no nothing. Absolutely fantastic! We plan to bring our children on the next trip in about 8 months. This place is #1 on the list for my wife and I. I have stayed in most states and countries, but this by far is the best stay in quite some time. We are coming back. If you want to make an offer to sell, let me know. "

"The house is fantastic in all ways. It is beautifully decorated with everything that you need for a great relaxing trip to the lake. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. The living space and bedrooms were all comfortable. The outdoor area with the firepit, table and chairs to eat, plus the lake toys that were included were all top notch. They have kayaks, paddle boards, floating lounge chairs, and enough life jackets for the whole family if you don't have any. The location on the...
