Prime location on Lewis Smith Lake. Clean, modern cottage vibes, but sleeps 9!
Welcome to our lakeside getaway! Named after a tree that towers above our beloved home, the Poplar House is the perfect cocktail. You get a stunning view, but an easy walk to the water. A clean, modern home that still feels as cozy as a cottage. Bright, open rooms & covered porches all focus your attention on the lake. Off the back porch, there is a short staircase (just over 30 steps) to our dock. In any season, The Poplar House is your perfect getaway!
Our dock is heaven on the lake... super-sized for the perfect hang under the summer sun, or relax with a book under the roof during a southern rain. We are centrally located directly off of the main channel for easy access to all areas of the lake.
The entrance to the home is on the upper / ground level (from driveway). On this level you will find the kitchen, living room, full bathroom and a bedroom (king bed). This does feel like the master bedroom, although the bathroom has double access & is shared with the main space.
On the lower level you will find a queen bed, bunk room with three twin beds (one is a trundle), as well as another master bedroom with a king bed connected to a full bathroom. Please note the queen bed is in an "open room" at the bottom of the stairs. The guests staying in the queen / bunk areas will need to access a bathroom either through the downstairs master or at the top of the stairs.
The steps down to the dock are accessed from the lower level deck.
Our boat & lift are not for guest use, sorry!
Our home is in a friendly, small development of seven modern lakefront homes with great neighbors!
If you plan on renting a boat, we are a 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk to Squirrels Boat Rentals at Rock Creek Marina.
Easy access from 1-65 from all areas!

This is our second stay at this property and we will be back! It is on a great part of the lake in a great neighborhood! The house is super clean and very comfortable! Everyday starts with coffee at the dock and taking in the view! We look forward to our next visit!
I am so glad i booked this house. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this one!

Thank you so much, Lori!! We'd love to have you back!
We had a great weekend at this rental! It was our first stay at this property but definitely not our last! The house was super clean, great location on the lake, and an amazing dock! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner for friends and the living space was a great to look over the lake and watch some football on the one rainy day we had! Can’t wait till our next visit!
I am not much of a reviewer, but this spot deserves one. I can't say enought good about it from the Hostess to the Location. We probably drove every square inch of Smith Lake on the Pontoon over 4 days and this location is absolutely the best area on the whole lake. It is big deep water secluded enought that the traffic wasn't overwhelming. The Dock was incredible with Canoe Raft, paddle board, lilly pad , swim ladder. The house was great. I slept better in the Poplar House than I do in my own home.
