Cook with precision using the induction stovetop and convection oven, and take advantage of an extensive collection of high-quality cookware, including cast iron, non-stick, and specialty pots and pans. A full spice rack, cooking oils, and kitchen staples are provided for your convenience. For coffee lovers, enjoy your choice of a Keurig or classic drip coffee maker. Whether you’re preparing a lakeside brunch or hosting a family feast, the large dining table seats 10 comfortably — ideal for gathering, sharing, and making memories.

- Outdoor Amenities: A propane grill is located just outside the kitchen for lakeside cookouts. Relax and dine while enjoying the tranquil lake setting.

This home was exquisite! It was perfect for our 6 adults and 6 children Thanksgiving holiday. The kitchen had everything we needed and the kids were never bored with things to do. They loved the movie room as well as the climbing rocks in the front of the property. The home was incredibly clean. The host was extremely responsive. It was clear that his desire that we had an excellent experience was consistent with the love and care that he put into building that home.

This was a great place to stay especially for our large group as this was our time to Lewis Smith Lake. We thoroughly enjoyed both the house and the lake. We brought our own boat and having access to the boat lift was an extremely nice bonus. Jason was quick to respond and answer any questions I had and was proactive in his communication.

Nice place overall. Beds were comfortable. Nice to be able to use the boat lift and park a boat under the covered dock. It was able to accommodate 3 boats. Kids loved the movie theater, pool table and bunk room in the basement. Kitchen was stocked with cooking utensils. Would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Jason Fisher

Host profile image
Our family purchased this lot in 2005 and began building this log home. Other than contracting with a company to erect the logs and getting the structure in the dry, we did all of our own work on the interior, which makes this home extra special to us. It has been a gathering place for our extended family from Alabama and Tennessee for summer weekends and holidays for over15 years. We have enjoyed many special memories here and are happy to provide our home for other large families to gather.

Why they chose this property

We choose this property because it allowed us to build the home just twenty feet from the lake and a few feet above the flood line. This means that when you exit on the lower level you only have an elevation drop of about fifteen feet to the walkway to the dock.
Across from the home is the Bankhead National Forest, so there are no homes or docks on the other side of the lake to ruin beautiful sunsets.
