About this property
Tigua's Sunrise pet-friendly home w/fishing pontoon
Welcome to Tigua’s Sunrise, by 2 Poochies Properties, a single story lakefront home on Lewis Smith Lake overlooking a peaceful deep water cove in one of the most serene areas of the lake. Wake to golden sunrises shimmering across calm water and settle into a vacation centered on family time, steady fishing, and relaxed lake living.
Tigua is our newest pooch, rescued from the streets of Antigua when she was just 4 weeks old. Like the rising sun, she inspires us with her energy, hope and optimism each new day and the property aims to inject you with this attitude.
The spacious primary suite features a king bed, Roku TV, dedicated workspace, dressers, nightstands, and large shuttered windows that fill the room with natural light. The en suite bath includes a walk in shower, sunken tub, and a generous walk in closet.
The main living room is designed for gathering, with a large reclining sectional, a comfortable reclining chair, and a 68 inch Roku TV. Books and games for all ages are stocked for evenings indoors. All TVs include Roku with high speed 1 GB internet and access to more than 75 live channels, with the ability to log into your personal streaming accounts for seamless entertainment.
Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for families. One guest room offers a queen bed, Roku TV, dresser, and walk in closet. The bunk room includes two bunk beds, storage chests, bean bag chairs, and its own walk in closet, making it an ideal space for kids. A centrally located guest bath features a shower and tub combination, vanity with storage, and a nearby linen closet.
The well stocked kitchen offers functional counter space, a center island with seating, full size appliances, and a dedicated coffee station. The adjacent dining table seats six comfortably. A separate laundry room includes a large capacity washer and dryer with supplies provided for your convenience.
Step outside to the expansive composite deck with multiple seating areas for dining and lounging. A gazebo with cooling fan provides shade for entertaining, and beneath it you will find an eight seat fire table and propane grill ready for evening meals. A custom competition size cornhole set adds family friendly fun. A fully fenced yard offers added security for children and pets, and a large firepit area overlooks the lake with firewood provided.
The private dock provides direct access to deep water fishing and swimming. Guests may enjoy an optional fishing pontoon available as a separate rental. This boat is set up for relaxed cruising and serious fishing, and towing is not permitted, keeping the experience focused on calm days and casting lines. Life jackets for guests and dogs are available.
Tigua’s Sunrise is designed for families who value early mornings on the water, full afternoons of fishing, and quiet evenings under the stars. Settle in, cast a line, and experience the peaceful rhythm of Smith Lake.

About the host
Hosted by Tim Morgen
I like to fish. One of my lifelong dreams has been to own a lake home so I could walk out my back door and bass fish or perhaps hop in my boat or jet ski and take off for an afternoon cruise. So, I purchased a bungalow and a lakeside retreat on Smith Lake. Most of the time I live at the “farm” in Colorado Springs, CO with my wife Karen. We have two dogs, Allie and Tigua, along with three cats and about 20 chickens. Barney is no longer with us as he succumbed to aggressive bone cancer too early in his short life. (He is the big pooch on the right side of the photo with Karen). However, Barney will always live in our hearts and remain an icon in his namesake home, Barney's Bluff.
I have owned and run my own structural engineering business since 2001 and Karen does the books for our company. We decided to pursue other interests now that we have a few grandkids and engineering can get both stressful and mundane after 25 years. Living on a beautiful, pristine lake part time and sharing it with others who have a similar passion for fishing and watersports just made sense. I think if you come as our guest to “Allie’s on the Rocks”, “Barney’s Bluff” or our newest place, "Tigua's Sunrise", you will find them as amazing and enjoyable as we have. And feel free to bring your four-legged pals with you.

Why they chose this property
Tigua's Sunrise is centrally located on Smith Lake along a quiet dirt/gravel country road - you may see some deer and a variety of small animals along the way. The country road is accessed by a paved county road that winds through rolling hills and farm land of Cullman County. The house is surrounded by large oak trees which provide moderate privacy between the surrounding homes.
