About this property

Smith Lake Retreat with Forest & Cave Views, Dock + Fire Pit

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Smith Lake (Clear Creek), this home, which features a main house and guest house, is the perfect opportunity to get away and make memories. Just 10 minutes from Jasper, the property overlooks Bankhead National Forest, with amazing water views and nearby rock caves.

The main home features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, complemented by a 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest house connected by a spacious deck, perfect for extended family, a girl's weekend, or to be shared by multiple families. Together, the property comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests, with 1 king bed and 2 queen beds in the main house along with 1 queen bed and 2 sets of twin bunks in the guest house.

Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen and everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The guest house also has a ping pong and pool table. We provide kayaks, paddle board, a lily pad and floats for use during your stay. A boat slip is available for those who rent or bring a boat. Please note that there is the equivalent of two flights of stairs leading from the back yard to the floating dock.

You're just a 5-minute drive from Clear Creek Recreation Area, offering a boat ramp, hiking and biking trails, and easy access to explore even more of what Smith Lake and Bankhead National Forest have to offer.

Beautiful home with tons of space for the whole family. The guest house is perfect for older kids to have their own area. Lots to do and very well stocked. We stayed for Thanksgiving and will be back for summer vacation.

Wedding

Beautiful location close to wedding venue. Plenty of room for family. It would be great as a rental with water related activities. But that was not the purpose of our trip. Lovely dock and outdoor space.

Girls Weekend

This property was GREAT. I stay at Smith Lake with my family each summer and this is by far the best property I’ve ever rented. It was beautiful and extremely accommodating. It rained the entire weekend so our options to get in the water were limited but we still had the best time! The owner was very nice and extremely easy to get in touch with. I can’t wait to book this place again next year.

Perfect lake house for family

This was better than ideal! There’s two homes connected by the back patio and this was ideal for our extended family vacation. The home is nicely updated and clean. We literally had everything we needed for our vacation down to spices in the kitchen to noodles to float on in the lake. The stairs to the lake were a bit steep but no different than surrounding homes and they felt completely sturdy which was appreciated with small children. We had the absolute best time and made the best memories at this lake house. Highly recommend!

Relaxing girls trip on the lake

A group of 7 long-time friends gathered for an extended weekend. We relaxed, cooked, laughed, and enjoyed our time. We sat in the back deck a lot and enjoyed the view. We did venture to the water everyday, and note that the house is on a bluff with stairs leading to the floating dock. This is in the listing and all of us 40+ year olds were able to navigate the stairs with no trouble but we did take lunch and supplies down to minimize the number of times someone had to go back up to the house. Overall a great house for our crew to spread out but also enjoy each others company. .

Great lake house to share weekend with friends on Smith Lake.

This like-new lake house with guest house attached by large back deck overlooking the lake was perfect for our large friend group. Modern kitchen with open living area is well designed and made it easy for our big group of 12 to gather to visit and share a meal. The game room in the guest house was a big hit with the pool table/pingpong. The property sits above the lake with lighted stair segments that descend down a beautiful rock wall. The pier/open boat dock is large and equipped with kayaks and floatable to explore the clear water lake. The neighborhood is in an expected rural wooded area with narrow roads. Adjacent cabins on either side of the lake house are close in proximity, but the backyard is very private and spacious inclining down to the rock face that makes up the edge of the lake. We enjoyed using the fire pit and the Traeger smoker and pit boss grill. Bedrooms and bathrooms with white walls were nicely decorated and very clean. The owners were great and quickly available to answer any questions. Would highly recommend this property if you are lucky enough to find an available date.
