About the host
Hosted by Bob Ekman
424 CO RD 146 LLC are the official owners of Clearwater Shores and are from Brentwood, TN. One of the owners has been in the hospitality industry for over 45 years and the other is a high-end Residential and Commercial Interior Designer. You will be able to tell when you walk in the door. They also own Grass Lake Lodge in Big Rapids, MI which is on VRBO and Airbnb. It has been highly successful and has hosted well over 450 groups since 2019. Nothing but perfect reviews for both properties on Airbnb and VRBO. The owners love with Smith Lake, AL and all it has to offer. They will take great care of you and your group and know you will LOVE Clearwater Shores as much as they do!
As them about the song written and recorded about the view of Kinney Mountain from Clearwater Shores. It was written by a few Nashville songwriters and Bob during a stay in 2023. Bob will send it to you if you ask so you can play it for your family or guests while staying at Clearwater Shores. The song is "Kinney Mountain". Pretty cool!

Why they chose this property
Truly one-of-one luxury vacation rental on Smith Lake in North Central Alabama. Smith Lake is one of the cleanest lakes in the US and is excellent for fishing, boating and site seeing. Clearwater Shores is ideal for multi-generational families, groups of friends, corporate retreats, professional and amateur fishermen and people just looking to relax and stare at the amazing views. Clearwater Shores is rare indeed as the view of the land across is called Kinney Mountain and it does not have any homes or docks. A song was written and recorded about the view from Clearwater Shores called "Kinney Mountain". Also long views of Smith Lake in the Simpson Creek/Ryan Creek area. Close to Trident Marina and Grill and Smith Lake Park. Only 15 minutes off I-65 (Exit 299 at Dodge City). Only 5 of 5 reviews since the first guests in 2022.
Owners are Premier Hosts for VRBO and and have nothing but 10 of 10 reviews for this and their other property in Michigan. They also have perfect scores for both properties on Airbnb. They understand hospitality and the needs of families, groups of friends, corporate retreats, professional fishermen for tournaments, sports groups and more. They have invested over $275K in the property since they purchased it in late 2022...new Dock, new Lakeside Deck & Pavilion, new Main Deck Pollywood furniture, new Gourmet Kitchen, new Beverage Center, stunning new outdoor 12-volt lighting system throughout the property, new pool table in the Game Room and many other subtle improvements in pretty much all rooms of the house.
Clearwater Shores is rare indeed! Please read the reviews to see just why. Thank you.
