“Your perfect lake getaway! Newly updated, spacious, and open.” is a smoke-free vacation home in Arley, Cullman County, set directly on Lewis Smith Lake. It’s designed for downtime—resting, reconnecting, and spending long days on the water with friends or family.
Lake access & outdoor space
The home is oriented to the lake, with gorgeous water views from almost every room. A 500 sq ft covered upstairs porch is set up for lounging and dining, and a second 500 sq ft covered patio opens to the yard with a charcoal grill. A short staircase leads to the lake for swimming and time on the swim pier and double boat slip, and guests can explore the cove by boat, kayak, or paddle boat.

The kitchen opens to a family room with a large TV and a gas fireplace, plus double French doors to the porch.
