Grace's Retreat - 10 minutes from I-65

Escape to a lakeside retreat only 10 minutes from I-65 Exit 305 on Smith Lake in Cullman, Alabama. Relax with your friends and family on the deck while watching your favorite sport on the 70'' flat screen television through the open garage door or with the screens in place. Or watch the sunset from the observation deck above the swim pier.



This unique commercially designed home includes two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The home can sleep one to six comfortably. The home features an open and large family room, kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is equipped with stainless appliances, granite countertops and with ice/water dispenser in the refrigerator. The home has been professionally decorated by an interior designer.



The home features two large insulated glass garage doors that can be opened for open-air and screens that remotely lower to create a completely screened-in porch for the entire home.



The home is located within five minutes of Smith Lake Park, with free boat launch and is directly across from Smith Lake Marina.

Check-in and out was a breeze and communication was AMAZING! The place was very nice and exactly what you see in the photos. We were provided so much information about the area for shopping and eating and found it super helpful. While we only stayed for a weekend, the place was stocked with everything you would need for a longer stay. The owners truly thought of everything! Beds were comfortable and seating was plentiful. This place is already on my list for another getaway.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property, and it exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning views and tranquil surroundings. The house itself is a true gem, elegantly decorated and equipped with every comfort you could wish for. Each seat and bed was incredibly cozy, making it feel like our home away from home. One of the highlights of our stay was spending an entire day down at the dock fishing. It was a wonderful way to bond as a family and enjoy the peaceful beauty of the area. The serenity of the location provided the perfect escape from our busy lives. We appreciated the thoughtful touches from the owner, like the book of local restaurant menus and information available by the front door. We loved ordering delicious food through DoorDash from Hardee’s, and we were pleased to discover that Walmart delivery was available too, adding to our convenience. Hearing the ducks on the lake and taking in the fantastic views from the porch added to the charm of our stay. We made countless wonderful memories, and we’re already looking forward to returning in the summer. If you’re seeking a perfect getaway, this property is an absolute must!

Grace's retreat was awesome!! Comfortable beds, enough seating for all, great deck with view and well equipped kitchen. I hosted a Father's day cook out. We had serving plates, cutting boards, and mixing bowls and enough utensils for all. Terry was awesome when dropping off/picking up the pontoon boat. We had a fun time on the lake and will be returning.

We LOVED the location of Grace's Retreat! The house isnjuat the cutest & super roomy. The beds were really comfortable too. The area is super convenient & close to LOTS of places to eat or shop. The cove was super quiet, despite being close to the Smith Lake park boat launch. The only "complaint" was the walk to & from the dock. The hill is super steep so make sure you have everything before going down, but that isn't anything the owners could change. We were also visited by the sweetest kitty, who even went to the dock with us & napped in the shade while we swam. We would def stay here again on our annual girl's tri.

Even though the weather did not always cooperate, this house gave us everything we needed. We sat outside, opened the doors, and just relaxed. It is a perfect retreat. We hope to rent it on our next trip down.
