Cute, cozy log cabin on beautiful Smith Lake, Arley AL (year round deep water)

Cabin perched on the hillside overlooking the main channel.. Rock Creek. 100 ft+ deep water year round. Access to the water via a gravel road that circles around the hillside to the clearing below with available space for parking with easy access to the water for fishing and swimming. Also there are steps from the cabin down to the boat dock and swim deck, but like most places around here there are quit a few steps. There's around 100 steps
Other things to note
If you're bringing a boat and trailer there is plenty of space on the property to park (cleared pad on top of the hill). Swayback Bridge Public Boat Ramp is less than 3 miles from the cabin by car. You can see it from the cabin on the other side of the river. You are welcome to park your boat at my boat dock if you like.

Great Property / Accomodating Host

My wife & I stayed here and it was a great experience. Very clean property with its own boat dock!!! The host was gracious enough to let us dock our boat before check-in time so we could enjoy the lake early. A+++ Host & Property.

Post Semester Vacation

My college buddies and I got to stay for 3 nights and we could not be more pleased. While this cabin is so affordable, it also offers everything you need when renting a house, especially on the lake. Leading up to the stay, Tom was really quick to respond to answer any questions we had (a lot). The Swayback Bridge boat ramp is only a 5 or so minute drive and a 30 second boat drive, which was very ideal. We will hopefully be coming back soon.

Thanksgiving Vacation

Cabin was nice and fully stocked with everything we needed during our stay. The view of the lake from the cabin is awesome. The gravel trail to the lake makes getting to the boat dock super simple. It was very convenient being able to use the boat dock.
