The lake view was absolutely beautiful. It was so peaceful. The only thing was we didn’t have any dish rags in the kitchen but we managed. Other than that we loved our stay there.

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.

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!).
