There is a double decker aluminum boat dock in year-round water, with a diving board on the top deck, a swim dock, a kayak, a paddle board, and 3 jetski ports. The owner keeps their personal boat in the boat slip, but there is room to tie your boat to the dock. There are four lounge chairs up top and a table and one chair downstairs. There are also a couple of foldable low to the ground loungers in the storage box downstairs. (We do request that wave boats stay close to the middle of the channel to prevent shoreline erosion issues.)
Please note: Lily pads in photo of dock are no longer at this property.
Our upstairs kitchen is designed to accommodate those who love to cook or those who like to microwave. Downstairs we have an entertainment area that includes a kitchenette with a Keurig, a microwave, and a drink-fridge. (We do recycle and offer a Recycle can next to the shed for aluminum cans.)
Parents will be pleased to find a variety of games, puzzles and a library of family videos to entertain kids in the evening or the occasional rainy day, and perfect for any friendly family rivalry; we have the ubiquitous "corn hole game."
We all need a place to refresh our heart & soul, we invite you to come to the serene setting at Smith Lake in Houston AL. to Blessings Family Lodge & Retreat. (Note that this is a family neighborhood and we ask you to keep your music volume at a level that will not disturb the neighbors.)

Excellent property, incredible location. We had two families and three six year olds, and everyone had an amazing relaxing vacation. Would definitely book this house again and if it were for sale would be first in line to purchase.
Thank you for the 5‑star review. We're glad the property and location were a great fit for both families and that the kids enjoyed their time. It's wonderful to hear you had a relaxing vacation and would book the house again — and that you'd be first in line if it were for sale. Thanks for choosing Smith Lake Rentals; we'd welcome you back.
Fantastic location! We LOVED it and the deck and dock are amazing.
Thank you so much for your quick review! We appreciate your helpful feedback and we will communicate it to the owner. We hope that you will come back soon and stay with us!
An amazing stay at Smith Lake! The house had everything we (8 adults 5 kids) needed and more. Breathtaking views from the deck and dock. We saw over 12 shooting stars one night! Boat traffic was a little high and the dock rocking takes a little getting use to, but worth it. Water was amazing to get into. Available kayak and paddle board was a plus.
Thank you for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed the amenities this house offers. We would love to host you again soon!
Perfect location! We loved our stay here.
Our family had a wonderful time at this location. Everything was exactly as described. We hope to visit this home again soon.
Peaceful and serene. A great location to reset.
We enjoyed our stay, great location, our grandsons enjoyed the diving board, beautiful scenery!!
Great house, great location great time
We have vacationed at Smith Lake several times, primarily on either the central or Eastern fork. This was the first time we had stayed West of Dunkin Bridge. We found it as nice as the other places, and a bit less trafficed. The house was wonderful. We had three families stay and had plenty of room. The accommodations were very good, the house very clean and the amenities what we expect. We would definitely come back.
