The Cove am Smith Lake – Seeufer-Rückzugsort

🌊 An Upscale Retreat on Smith Lake

The Cove At Smith Lake is a true waterfront escape tucked into a quiet, private cove off the main channel — designed for couples looking for a romantic getaway and for families who want room to spread out together. However you're traveling, expect calm water, spacious decks, and thoughtful touches throughout.

💑 A Romantic Escape for Couples

Slip into the hot tub as the sun sets over the lake, or soak in the primary suite's dramatic black marble-like tile tub framed by a wall of windows. Step out onto your own private balcony for morning coffee with a lake view, or share a quiet evening by the fire pit. The cove's calm, low-traffic water and secluded setting make this an easy place to slow down and reconnect, without giving up the comforts of a well-appointed home.

🏡 Room to Roam for Families

A flat front yard gives kids space to run, while the home's location in a quiet cove offers calm water for swimming and shoreline fun, with clear sightlines for parents. Inside, the game room is always a hit — a full-size pool table, a Wii, and a deep stash of board games keep everyone entertained, rain or shine.

🌊 Waterfront on Smith Lake

True waterfront access on beautiful Smith Lake, with scenic views and easy entry to the water for swimming, floating, and relaxing along the shore.

🚣 Water Fun Included

A double kayak, two single kayaks, and a paddle board make it easy for the whole group to get out on the calm cove at once — great for beginners and families. Life jackets in an assortment of sizes (required on the dock and on the water) and a handful of inflatable water toys are also on hand.

Please note: the boat and lift on the property are for owner use only and are not available to guests.

👣 The Walk Down to the Water

Getting to the shoreline means a walk down 88 steps — and it's worth every one of them. The view from the top deck is spectacular, looking out over the whole cove, and the payoff at the bottom is calm, quiet water perfect for swimming and floating. Guests of all ages make the trip regularly; just worth knowing in advance if stairs are a concern for anyone in your group.

🌅 Outdoor Living Spaces

Multiple outdoor areas let everyone spread out and relax. The upper deck features comfortable seating and an outdoor dining space — perfect for morning coffee, family meals, or evening conversation with lake views.

🔥 Fire Pit Lounge

As the sun sets, gather around the gas fire pit for easy, no-hassle flame — no firewood needed. Whether roasting marshmallows with the kids or enjoying quiet conversation under the stars, this space adds warmth and memorable moments to your stay.

💦 Hot Tub Retreat

Just one level down from the main deck, the private hot tub overlooks the lake and offers a peaceful place to relax after a day on the water. A favorite spot for guests in every season.

☕ Coffee Bar & Kitchen

Start the morning at the coffee bar, then put the fully stocked kitchen to work — everything you need for a home-cooked breakfast or a lakeside dinner is here.

🍽️ Grill & Outdoor Cooking

Cook your way: the Big Green Egg for low-and-slow lump charcoal flavor, a gas Weber grill, or a Blackstone griddle for pancake breakfasts and smash burgers alike. Prepare meals outdoors and dine on the deck while taking in the fresh air and water views.

🛋️ Bright & Comfortable Interior

Inside, a two-story great room anchors the home — a vaulted ceiling, a chandelier, and a full wall of windows framing the lake view. Comfortable seating and a relaxed layout make it easy to unwind, watch a movie, or spend time together indoors.

🛏️ Flexible Sleeping for Families & Groups

Two king bedrooms give the grown-ups a comfortable retreat, and a dedicated kids room has two twin bunk beds, each with a trundle, for six single beds. The bunks and trundles are designed with kids in mind (200 lb limit per bed), making the house ideal for up to 4 adults and up to 6 children.

🌿 Peaceful & Private Setting

Tucked away in a calm section of the lake, this home offers privacy and quiet that guests truly appreciate. Mornings are serene, afternoons are relaxed, and evenings are ideal for disconnecting and enjoying time together.

📍 Convenient Yet Secluded

While the property feels private and remote, essentials like groceries, local dining, and coffee shops are just a short drive away, along with Bankhead National Forest for a day hike — offering the best of both worlds.
