We had the pleasure of spending a weekend at the Lake Daze property in Crane Hill. The booking was easy and came with a guide book to ensure options for eating and local boat rental. The view from the top deck was beautiful. Easy walk to the dock. We enjoyed the fire-pit as well as the clean propane grill. Quick response when I had questions. We will definitely stay here again.

Great cabin!

Everything was great. The only thing the group agreed that would be beneficial is a ceiling fan on the beautiful deck. Thank you for a wonderful place for our ladies’ retreat.

Perfect location with great view

We have rented 4 different houses on this lake and each house had benefits but this one was our favorite. The location was great. Slope to lake incredible. My 82 year old dad loved all the details in the house. My kids and I loved the deck.

Great getaway for everyone

Lake Daze was a great place to call home for the Memorial Day weekend. Very clean and well kept. The appliances worked well and was stocked with cookware to accommodate our group. Beds were comfortable for everyone. The dock and swim area were wonderful and we had a fantastic time. 5 star***** stay and recommend to anyone looking to hideaway for a little!!!

We’re lake people now!!

This was our first time to vacation on a lake and Smith Lake did not disappoint! Crystal clear water, and relaxing, serene setting. The house was perfect! It had the integrity of an old fashion lake house with modern amenities. The owner was so accommodating! We will be back!!

Fantastic Lake Trip

We had a great time at Lake Daze!!! From the booking to the checkout and everything in between our family trip went so smooth. The property was just as advertised. The house is clean and well stocked for those that enjoy cooking. The view from the deck is as good as you will get and it is so big the entire family spent time together playing games and eating on it. The dock is very big as well and because of the location of the home and rock shore line the swim area was great for all of us. All in all a great experience for us and we will definitely be coming back. Thanks to Lynn, our host, for a great trip.!!

Awesome Lake Retreat

Great place to get away and enjoy the lake. Great view of the water. Lots of things to entertain…arcade games, ping pong, kayaks, covered boathouse, fire pit. Very reasonable pricing. Renter was very responsive. Would definitely book again.

Relaxing stay at the lake

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Coffee on the porch to start our days, and then relaxing by the firepit to cap it off. My kids loved playing on the dock and rocks along the shore. They could have spent a whole week down there. My one criticism is the lighting in the living room / kitchen is lacking. It seemed dark in there, even in the middle of the day with all the windows. Other than that, it was great!

Relaxing at it’s best

My family and my brother’s family enjoyed this house so much. There were a total of 7 people and we never felt cramped. The lake is one of the cleanest and clearest I have ever seen. Swimming off the dock or rocks on the shore was amazing. We would definitely come back.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a wonderful time here, the cabin was really cute and plenty of space for our family and dogs. The porch was wonderful to sit out on and have morning coffee, looking at the lake. The dock was great to swim from, and we brought our 20' boat as well - the boat ramp is a bit of a drive though, so just plan for that. Overall we had a wonderful weekend.

Wonderful Long Weekend at a Great Place

House was quaint and cozy. Very relaxing. The deck is magnificent! A little more furniture on the deck could make it even better. We will definitely be going back. The dogs had a ball. Boat dock is great. It was easy to get from boat ramp to house.

It was a lovely retreat on the lake for our family. Located between Huntsville and Birmingham gave us nice day-trip opportunities. There isn’t a dishwasher but paper plates were provided for the nights we didn’t want to do dishes.

About the host

Hosted by Lynn

Host profile image
I’m a language teacher and enjoy travel and learning about other cultures. We started renting out our future retirement home back in 2011. Since then, we have added two more properties that are in our favorite vacation areas. Our goal is to provide memorable and affordable experiences for families and small groups. We particularly love dogs and encourage responsible owners to bring them along!

Why they chose this property

Though we live and work in Nashville, TN, the beauty of the northern Alabama lake area has appealed to us for years. This home offers our family a retreat where we can disconnect and focus on the family and the outdoors.

What makes this property unique

Many of the homes on Smith Lake require A LOT of steps to get to the water. We love being able to reach our dock with few or no steps (depending on your route!).

English, French
