Lots of graveled parking included for guests and boat trailers.

There is also a boat ramp 1/4 mile from the Whitehouse to launch your boats for a $5 donation (put in box). You can also park trailers (if needed beside Cappy's -launch in front if Cappy's Boat Rental).

**Please inquire about additional weekly and monthly discounts during fall and winter off-season dates. Great for business trips or interim housing needs.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The dock does not have water under it when the water level is 502 or below (this is in early fall sometimes, winter, & very early spring); however, there is always water access from the lot. Send a message to the property manager for more information about the current lake water level or check smithlake.info for current level.

White House Review
4 friends had a great weekend at the Whitehouse. Beds were comfortable, the house was clean, we had all the necessities for a guy’s weekend of grilling, football and fishing.

Family friendly, close to places.
We enjoyed our stay at the Whitehouse and our very first time on Smith Lake! The house had everything we needed in the kitchen. The grill(s) cooked well also. The game room was a hit, especially with the kids. Very clean, homey feel. All the kids slept on the couch (instead of bunk beds one night) and said the couch was super comfy to sleep on. Plenty of room for our party of 13. We used the fire pit for s’mores one night until we couldn’t take the heat outside any longer! Smith lake was absolutely beautiful and we can not wait to return! Would definitely recommend staying here. Owners were super easy to communicate with, even checked on us during our stay, and left some yummy snacks for us.

Talk about equipped!
The Whitehouse was a great place to call home away from home. The house was very well equipped. The amount of towels and washcloths available to our group was soooo very helpful. The kitchen is very well stocked. The beds were all comfortable. We loved having access to a washer and dryer and would’ve utilized the second set as well with our group if it hadn’t been broken by a previous renter. We enjoyed the game room and the kayaks. Communication with Sherry was great and she was more than happy to answer all of my questions and offer recommendations. Thank you for having nice toilet paper! 😂 My only recommendation would be to have the cleaning staff turn the air down to around 70 earlier in the day before guests check in. It was warm in the house and hot in the game room when we arrived and took all of the first day and some of the night to lower the temp enough in both areas to be comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Sherry Bailey

Host profile image
My family and I have loved Smith Lake for many years. My kids and grandkids have learned to swim and ski on this beautiful lake. We are a lake-loving family who find peace, fun, and relaxation on Smith Lake. This wonderful property is a fairly new purchase & exciting adventure for our family after moving from a 25-year stay on another property. My husband and I have been married for 49 years and have been blessed with 16 grandchildren. I am a retired school teacher and currently deal in antiques, Amish furniture, farmhouse furniture and decor, and lots of other treasures.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property for many reasons. First of all, it’s close to where we’ve been for many years, and second, it can accommodate all our family comfortably. It’s convenient to 1-65, downtown Cullman, and is in a part of Cullman that is seeing growth with new restaurants, recreation areas, and boat rentals. It’s private and has wonderful outdoor spaces.
