About this property

Southern Serenity - Secluded Waterfront home on a quiet and peaceful cove.

Looking for the perfect lake vacation? Yet hate the crowds?
Southern Serenity is located 2.5 miles down a dirt/gravel road inside the Bankhead National Forrest on 110ft of cleared shoreline on a secluded cove of Smith Lake. We are on seasonal water, which means from the months of October through early March, the water level in our cove drops down to a mud bottom. Mid March, the spring rain and the dam starts filling. If you want to take a boat/kayaks out during this time, you will have to drive about 15 minutes down the road to the public landing to launch. Though March through September, we are at full pool, and our cove is anywhere from 10' to 20' deep! There is WIFI. **Also, FYI, Google GPS isn't very accurate but is pretty close. You will also want to try to arrive before dark. The house is very secluded, and there are no streetlights, but we do have a sign saying Southern Serenity with lights on it to help find the way.** **Also we provide a complimentary pack containing 1 laundry pod, 1 Dishwasher pod or dishwashing liquid bottle, 1 dryer sheet.** We also provide 1 roll of paper towels and 4 rolls of toilet paper, 2 in each bathroom.** So please plan accordingly.

Lake-getaway

We have stayed at the lake for many years. This location was perfect. It was hidden back away from all the busy water traffic but just minutes away from gas, food and everyone we hang out with. If we were to buy a place it would be just like this one. No big stairs to or from the water. It provided everything we needed. Just don’t forget to grab some wood for the fire pit but if you do.. Gateway Foodland is not far away! Check in and out was super easy. Definitely a place we will stay at again.

Spring Break Getaway

Our family enjoyed our stay at the property. It was clean and very comfortable. The hosts provided many amenities in this peaceful place. They provided kitchenware, WIFI, games, movies, streaming service, kayaks, etc. There were also many beautiful places to hike & explore near the area that led to gorgeous waterfall views. It does warrant mentioning that if you plan to make use of the washer and dryer during your stay, you need to bring your own detergent. They provide one laundry pod, however you are expected to wash the towels with it before your departure. Overall, this was a nice place to spend the last stretch of our Spring Break travels. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Matthew D Stultz

Hello and WELCOME! Our names are Matt and Christy and we would like to tell you a little about ourselves. My wife Christy is a small business owner and is a Hair Stylist for over 20yrs. My name is Matt and I am a Firefighter/Emt and have been for 20yrs as well. We found and bought this property because we fell in love with the location and the views. It is so very secluded and beautiful. A true GET AWAY experience! We hope you take a look and then find out for yourselves!

Why they chose this property

Our home is nestled on one acre of land with 110' of cleared waterfront. It sits inside the beautiful Bankhead National Forest directly on Lewis Smith Lake. We are located down a 2.5mile gravel/dirt road. Privacy and seclusion is #1!

What makes this property unique

Rural, private, secluded, serene and beautiful! These are just a few words that describe Southern Serenity. You are directly on the water and have a private 110' shoreline with a 12' x 12' floating swim pier for your pleasure. We do not have a boat launch at this time, but there is a boat launch directly across the cove (2min drive.) You can launch and then drive across the cove to tie off to our swim pier. You will also be inside the Bankhead National Forest so there are many hiking trails and beautiful waterfalls to visit and play in. **Please be mindful that you are in the south and poisonous snakes like Rattlesnakes, Cotton Mouths/Water Moccasins, Copperheads are around. Also there are coyotes, wild pigs/boar and have had sightings of Mountain lions. So be prepared. We have on sight a fully stocked first aid kit along with snake bite kits. As always call 911 for an emergency!
