Sink into the bubbling warmth of our hot tub while enjoying the view. The house is next to Smith Lake Park, so a boat ramp is easily accessible. You will have everything to enjoy a peaceful time on the lake from fully appointed kitchen to high speed fiber internet. Enjoy fishing from the floating dock, sit by the fire pit, or relax and watch the sunset. Tankless water heater for big groups! THE SPACE: With room to comfortably sleep 12 guests, our large and welcoming home is the perfect place to host your family, friends, or group retreat. Each cozy bedroom is designed for relaxation, and the open living areas create an atmosphere of togetherness. You can expect all the creature comforts you desire, and then some. There is a bedroom and full bath down stairs as well as the kitchen and main living room. Upstairs there are an additional 3 bedrooms, an extra living room, and two more bathrooms. One of the bedrooms upstairs has a balcony with a glider that overlooks the water. The living room downstairs has windows across the back of the house that over look the water. There is an attached deck off the main level that over looks the water and has an easy to access pellet / propane grill. Outside, the lower level is a fenced patio with string and step lighting and a 6 person hot tub underneath the upper deck. The front and back yard are fenced and can give peace of mind for kids and pets. At night, gather around the fire pit under the starry sky for s'mores, stories, and unforgettable moments. GUEST ACCESS: There is plenty of parking for several cars in the main driveway including a car port. There is also a 2 car attached garage (no garage door opener / manual doors). There is a fenced in yard with access to the road that would allow for a boat trailer to be kept during your visit. We also added 3 kayaks that guests can rent for the duration of their stay for $100 flat fee for all 3 (Just request after booking if interested). OTHER THINGS TO NOTE: The house is so close to the water. There is a slanted sidewalk and 10 stair steps to the boat dock from the house. There are a lot of houses on Smith lake without close ramp access and without cable internet. This property has both. We are just across the lake from a marina that sells gas. This makes keeping the boat filled with gas easy and convenient. We also provide two sets of high capacity front load washers and dryers. This will without a doubt meet any big groups laundry needs! There is also an extra large refrigerator in the garage to allow for food storage for large groups. The boatlift is also available for guests if it fits your boat (configured for a pontoon). Otherwise, just lower it out of the way and tie off. GFCI Power plugs are available on the front of the house by the driveway and on the dock to allow for easy charging of boat batteries no matter where your boat is. In the summer, you will have 1/2 mile of water view solid to the other shore. In the winter, when the water levels have dropped >10ft, there is still year round water but there is a sand bar island that appears in the middle and the water wraps around it. Also just switched Internet to fiber internet. We added a pellet / propane grill. We provide the propane. Bring your own pellets. We have installed a Level 2 EV Charger. It is a J1772 connector (non Tesla) and charges at 48A. We also provide the adapter to charge Teslas. We also have other lake houses on Smith and Guntersville Lakes: https://www.vrbo.com/3094465 https://www.vrbo.com/1600060 And we have Huntsville houses: https://www.vrbo.com/3734142 https://www.vrbo.com/3960683 https://www.vrbo.com/4968675 ## Property amenities ### Beach -

Ave Maria Grotto, in Cullman, Alabama, is a landscaped, 4-acre park in an old quarry on the grounds of St. Bernard Abbey, providing a garden setting for 125 miniature reproductions of some of the most famous religious structures of the world. It was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on February 24, 1976, and to the National Register of Historic Places on January 19, 1984. The stone and concrete models are the work of Brother Joseph Zoettl, a Benedictine monk of St. Bernard's Abbey, who devoted some 50 years to the project, the last three decades (1932 to 1961) almost without interruption. They incorporate discarded building supplies, bricks, marbles, tiles, pipes, sea shells, marbles, plastic animals, costume jewellery, toilet bowl floats and cold cream jars. Born in 1878 in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Brother Joseph was maimed in an accident that left him slightly hunched due to cervical kyphosis. He immigrated to the United States as a teenager, settling in northern Alabama. Soon afterward he began studying at the newly founded Benedictine monastery of St. Bernard, where he took his vows in 1897. Br. Joseph was not allowed to be ordained as a priest, due to the rule of the period that stated any man with a distracting disability could not be ordained a priest. He ran the monastery’s power plant and was, even by a monk's standards, a withdrawn, quiet man. Brother Joseph rarely left Alabama, where he died in 1961. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6057735/f10f98ee-727f-4b65-a3db-5e860093e056.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Ave Maria Grotto 26 min drive \- 25.5 km - Lewis Smith Lake 1 min walk \- 0.1 km - Stone Bridge Farms 26 min drive \- 24.4 km - Larkwood Falls 27 min drive \- 26.9 km ### Getting around - Huntsville International Airport (HSV) 54 min drive ### Restaurants - Drifters On The Lake 8 min drive - Wendy's 18 min drive - McDonald's 22 min drive - Jack's 21 min drive - Bubba Rito's 21 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Makin MEMORIES: House w/Dock/HotTub/Fiber/Tankless/EV Charger/next to boat ramp pet-friendly? ### How much is parking? ### What time is check-in at Makin MEMORIES: House w/Dock/HotTub/Fiber/Tankless/EV Charger/next to boat ramp? ### What time is check-out at Makin MEMORIES: House w/Dock/HotTub/Fiber/Tankless/EV Charger/next to boat ramp? ### Where is Makin MEMORIES: House w/Dock/HotTub/Fiber/Tankless/EV Charger/next to boat ramp located? ## Have a question?

It was much larger than I was expecting. We were a little disappointed that the grill didn't work well, had to cook hot dogs on the stove. Chlorine levels in the hot tub were way too high causing me to have a severe allergic reaction.Tub really needs to me emptied and scrubbed out. ##### Cristiana I.

The home is spacious and comfortable! We had three generations… 6 adults and 5 kids. We all had our private space as well as lots of space for cousin fun. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed. We enjoyed the hot tub every day, and had a fire the last night before we had to leave. The dock was perfect for fishing, and we went boating, tubing, and knee boarding each day. We have a pickle-ball enthusiast, so the garage became our pickle ball court. The upstairs den was great for movies for the kids. We walked to the park each day and the preschooler enjoyed the playground. The others had a family football game on the grassy fields. Just what we needed!! The house was perfect!! ##### Debbie H. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Taylor L.

This clean, spacious, secluded, cozy house was perfect for our bachelor party of 7, plus my dog. Everyone had a great time and felt right at home. The house was fully furnished with tons of comfortable seating, bedding and lounging and was well equipped with plenty of bath/beach towels, shampoo, body wash, smart TVs and wifi. Finding a house with a fenced in yard is rare for Smith Lake so that was HUGE plus for me and my dog. And if you like to fire up the grill after a long day on the lake and relax in a nice hot tub at night, look no further! Everything about this place was absolutely perfect, even the location. There are many places to stay on the lake but if you want to be a little closer to “civilization”, there is a dollar general, gas station, boat ramps and a restaurant all within five minutes. I highly recommend renting from “Cappy’s” boats if you don’t bring your own and eating at “Brothers” for lunch or dinner. You can really tell Ben takes pride in his place and he was very accommodating with any questions I had. If was to ever go back, I wouldn’t book anywhere else. Five stars for everyone in our group! ##### Taylor L. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shawn B.

Jun 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We have stayed on LS lake 4 times previously and this was our favorite location. We enjoyed the easy access to I-65 and loved the beautiful view and the quiet segment of the lake. Some of our group enjoyed using the pool and beach and the nearby park. The dock was great for fishing and dock swimming. ##### suzanne c. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy R.

Easy to get to the boat dock / few easy steps down to the dock. Had everything we needed for a family gathering. Once a year our grown kids and grandkids try to get together. This was a wonderful house to do that. Lots of space, seating, two large tables, large TV for the ball games and sleeping/ bedrooms and bathrooms were roomy. Hope to be back. ##### Virginia A.

We always have a blast. The house works perfectly for our family. We love that it is on the water & easy access to the dock. We rented a pontoon boat from Cappy’s which was close by & we were able to park it right at the house. It also had a fenced yard for our pup. The hosts are amazing & always help out when needed. The house is always clean & ready for us on our arrival day. I can’t recommend this place enough. We will be back! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/72b29f14-3230-4891-9705-e69f79df9510-1754867698321.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6dbdce7b-fadc-499b-bd2d-772d08f93dc6-1754867706305.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/efdd9894-3694-4547-8c06-edf36e67f897-1754867703662.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5daa6c85-af96-4a03-9d78-4242db28164a-1754867705348.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nicole C.
