We had a wonderful family trip! The house was spacious and comfortably accommodated our large extended family of 13. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, making meals easy to prepare. We especially enjoyed the dock—it was perfect for swimming, jumping in the lake, and fishing. The nearby boat rental was also very convenient and made getting out on the water quick and easy.Our only minor critiques were that the grill and Blackstone needed to be cleaned before use, and there were quite a few spider webs and spiders around the dock. That said, we visited during the summer, and as a country girl, I completely understand how challenging it can be to keep up with spider webs outdoors.Overall, we had a great stay and would absolutely stay here again if given the opportunity!Thanks to management for being easy to contact, making the check-in and out process super easy.

Overall, the place was incredible. So much in kitchen in way of pots, skillets, etc. Hand soap and bathroom spray in all bathrooms lasted the 4 days. Two rolls of paper towels lasted. No hooks for towels in master bedroom so hung on hangers in closet. All of the separate sleeping areas were perfect for our group of 12. Loved trying out the paddle board. There was a selection of k-cups for the Keurig and a small pantry with things like salt & pepper, sugar, etc. definitely bring your own Ziploc bags, napkins, tinfoil, & Saran wrap. Nice selection of board games and hanging . Only one bath towel per guest so for longer stays, may need to run a load of laundry. Everyone loves their beds & fluffy blankets. All of the separate group spaces, pool, TVs etc were perfect for our family gathering. Price seemed slightly on high side but the place is huge. We loved this lake house and highly recommend!!!

Amazing Property

Everyone in our family was thoroughly impressed with this property. We were able to relax, enjoy our time, and create great memories all weekend. Everything was well maintained and we had everything we needed and more. Plenty of opportunity and toys to keep everyone entertained and making the most of our weekend.

Wonderful stay on a beautiful lake!

We really enjoyed our week at the lake. The house was well decorated with ample room for our whole family. The lawn was perfect for outdoor games and the deck a respite from the sun for our older family members. Thanks again for sharing your home with us! Also we highly recommend Brothers seafood - that is literally 3 min drive from the house, casual great seafood resturaunt.

Great Visit to Lake Therapy

The property was as advertised online. The house was beautiful with a scenic view of Smith Lake. The boathouse, dock, and sitting area were very comfortable and enjoyable. The kitchen and breakfast nook area had gorgeous views. The driveway could be a challenge for individuals pulling trailers but there was plenty of parking. A great visit that we would do again.

Grateful for a wonderful place to stay

Had to book a home to stay with room for extended family on short notice. Lake Therapy was so perfect for our purposes. Large, comfortable, quiet with relaxing views. House was clean and well furnished (windows need cleaning and stand out due to such a beautiful view - but so do mine at home). Plenty to entertain young and old both inside and outdoors. Gazebo with fire pit surrounded by lake extraordinary and much appreciated.

Relaxation

I must admit your home is BEAUTIFUL and very relaxing. Our stay was great and no issues at all. The only thing I would suggest is getting all the lighting in the front repaired seems like a few bad bulbs just so you know.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second time to stay at Lake Therapy. It was exactly as we remembered and our family enjoyed both visits very much. The home is wonderful! Very comfortable and inviting with a perfect layout. The well stocked kitchen has everything you need. The view is gorgeous on a rainy day and a beautiful day. We enjoyed the area out by the water and had fun playing in the yard. We love going to Smith Lake and would love to return to Lake Therapy. This is a fantastic property!

Great property. Will certainly return when we need the space. Very comfortable and well appointed for our family gathering. The property was accurately described. Everything was exceptionally clean and well-maintained except the Blackstone griddle which took a little work to get ready. The kitchen was a little short on available pantry space for 18 people for 3 nights but was otherwise well appointed, spacious and a wonderful focal point of our gathering. The view from the kitchen, living room and master bedroom was exceptional, rain or shine. The upper and lower patio, kayak hut, dock and lakeside gazebo were all perfect amenities to the property. Giving plenty of comfortable space for everyone. The property management was thorough and timely with instructions. No issues that required their attention. Drifter's Bar and Grill, just 3 minutes away, had great food and atmosphere for our one meal out and Smith Lake Marina was a great place to rent our boat and Smith Lake Jet Ski Rentals, just across the water at Smith Lake Park, was excellent for our more adventurous guests.

We’re delighted to hear your family gathering was comfortable and memorable, and that the home, views, and lakefront amenities helped make the stay special.

Thank you as well for sharing your recommendations for local spots around Smith Lake. We’re glad your guests enjoyed exploring the area. We truly appreciate you choosing our property and look forward to welcoming you back the next time you need the space.

Beautiful home with amazing views

We booked Lake Therapy for a week with my parents, my siblings and their spouses and children. We drove from central Minnesota for my nephew’s wedding on Dec. 30, 2022. The home was beautiful, clean, and had plenty of amenities! The only thing we noticed that could use some attention was the cobwebs on the ceilings, but I know those can pop up pretty quickly. We would have liked more kitchen linens and extra sheets would have been nice as we had one of our little kids get sick in our bed at midnight one night and we had to wash the sheets immediately. We loved using the kayak and paddle board and could have used an extra set because everyone wanted to use them. The weather was in the 60s and even the low 70s while we were there and it was so nice to have things to do outside! We were able to escape the cold, snowy Minnesota weather and we were wearing shorts and T-shirts! Overall the home was perfect for us, the weather was great, and we all had a fantastic time! We didn’t want to leave. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Amazing Lake Vacation Home

We stayed at Lake Therapy for a family vacation - 7 adults and 6 kids. Enough beds for everyone, space for everyone to relax and play, access to the lake was exceptional. The dock and patio on the water were PERFECT for enjoying the sunshine and lake views, especially for our large group. Bonus that the house had a lilypad and kayak for use as well, gave the kids more to do without us having to haul large items down. The kitchen was great, house was beautiful and clean. And extra points for the bedding - sheets were lovely and soft! Would highly recommend, and we will be back to enjoy Smith Lake again!

Nice big house, most convenient location on Smith Lake

We got back from a great stay at Lake Therapy on Smith Lake. The location cannot be beat: as close as you can be to the amenities that Cullman has to offer while still being on the lake, and less than 5 minutes from nearby marinas, boat rentals (check out Cappy's), and a gas/convenience/bait shop (Whitlock's). The kitchen is huge with gorgeous views of the lake - great place to gather and our family spent a lot of time there. The dock (with extra slip for our rental boat) and gazebo on the water were big highlights as well. Only negatives to report were that the indoor games on the lower floor weren't usable: pinball machine was broken and pool table had no pool cues to play with. Fortunately, we didn't have any rainy days so that was a non-issue. We'd also recommend caution with kids playing on the lilly pad if the lake is low (as it was for our Aug. 2021 visit in preparation for dam work later this year) - the pad is near rocks and the water depth was only a few feet on that side (and only about 6-7 feet straight off the dock) so it was off limits to our children. Not something the owner can control but something to watch out for! Otherwise, we had a really nice stay and plenty of room for our family gathering - would definitely recommend.

Annual lake trip with family

Awesome. Plenty of room for all the family but had to go a hour to rent the more powerful pontoon.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 June 2021
Thanks for the 5 star review. We can control the house, we can't control the size of motors on the pontoons. For those also renting boats (which we do not manage) we always recommend finding the boat you want maybe even before finding the property you want to rent. There are a lot more houses for rent than there are boats to rent. Anyway, glad you enjoyed the house and please do come back
