About this property
Blessings Family Lodge
Welcome to our quiet home on beautiful Smith Lake! It is designed as a special retreat to refresh your spirit and give you a time to reunite with loved ones. At Blessings you can get a good night's sleep in comfortable beds for 12.
Bedroom #1: King size bed- main level
Bedroom #2: King size bed- main level
Bedroom #3: Queen size bed- lower level
Bedroom #4: Queen size bed plus one twin bed- Lower level
Bedroom #5: 2 Bunk beds plus one twin bed- Lower level
Enjoy the beautiful, tranquil view of the lake with the backdrop of the Bankhead National Forest in the mornings for a quiet time to start your day. Then invite the family to gather together each evening for the amazing sunsets followed by a look at the stars and marshmallows roasted on the fire pit..
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. (We do request that wave boats stay close to the middle of the channel to prevent shoreline erosion issues.)
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.)
MUST BE 25 YEARS OF AGE TO RENT.
RESERVATIONS ARE NOT CONFIRMED UNTIL GUEST SIGNS THE RENTAL AGREEMENT TO SMITH LAKE RENTALS. NO after-prom, graduation, frat, wedding, etc parties. Any gathering larger than the Max occupancy has to be preapproved. Violation will result in eviction.
