Sunrise Reach - A Smith Lake Retreat with room for everyone!
Cullman side, 20 minutes from 65! The house is best suited for up to 3 families. Below is a description of bedrooms and bathrooms to help you decide if this is the right stay for you:
SLOPE TO THE WATER There is a significant slope to the water! It is hard work to get back from the dock to the house. You will feel it. That said, there is a gravel path on the property and sets of stairs to use (see photos). If you or someone in your party is not comfortable with stairs or walking on a slope, you may want to consider another property with a more flat walk to the water.

MAIN LEVEL Kitchen Dining Family Room Full Bathroom Sitting Area

A Lilly pad, a kayak, and two stand-up paddle boards are available for use. There is power at the dock (helpful for charging devices). There is a picnic table with an umbrella, and a storage container with a couple of life jackets available. The dock has natural shade in the afternoons. At night, the green fishing light is great for fishing, watching fish, and swimming.
FIRE PIT The property features an outdoor fire-side hangout area halfway between the house and the dock. The smokeless fire pit lets you enjoy the fire without smelling like smoke. Fire wood and fire starter material is included with the stay.

About the host

My family and I live in Huntsville, Alabama. We enjoy being outside and spending time together! The lake has brought so much joy to our family that we want to share the experience with others.
Why they chose this property
We love the dock and the location on the water. This property has a great view of a big spot on the lake. You can boat around the area without having to go far away from the dock.
What makes this property unique
I like the morning facing view of the lake. We get some excellent sunrises year round and enjoy some shade in the hot afternoons.
