Family Paradise - Smith Lake Home

This home sits on a very private point lot with 700 feet of water frontage. It was designed for multiple families with kids. The view is absolutely spectacular with water on 3 sides and views from almost every room in the house. It is roughly 3,000 square feet and has a additional 2,100 square feet of balconies and decks. There are two great rooms, one for the adults and a second for the kids. The upstairs has 20' vaulted ceilings throughout. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops and a Keurig Coffee machine. The huge, custom built square table seats 12 for family meals and two additional bar top chairs are at the kitchen counter top. For outdoor cooking, there is a large, high end, gas grill and a wood burning smoker.

There are two masters with one upstairs and the second down. The third and fourth bedrooms are downstairs. The game room includes a pool table, ping pong, foosball table, games and puzzles. We have a flat screen tv on the main level with Directv as well as two tv's on the bottom level, one in the master downstairs and one in the main room. We just installed a new "Starlink" wireless service with over 100M access speed, if you need to connect your laptop.

Satellite TV (DirecTV) - Three TV's
Cell Phone coverage is good with 5G availability
Nearest Marina/boat launch: About 5-10 minutes by road and less than 5 minutes by water
Water Level: Very deep.

The outside balconies and decks wrap three sides of the house. The lighted walkway leads down to the enormous three slip boat house and swim platform. The water slide is connected to city water for hours of fun in the lake. A deck box is available with life preservers for all sizes. There are plenty of chairs and chaise lounges by the house that can be brought down to the dock to use. Pontoon boat rentals are made through Duskin Point Marina. You are also welcome to bring your own boat.

The boat house includes 1 open slip for 1 boat and additional side docking for 3-4 more.

Smith Lake is rated as the third cleanest lake in the country. You must see it to believe it. There are 500 miles of shoreline with over 21,200 acres of water. There is fantastic swimming, fishing, boating and skiing. Much of the lake is in the Bankhead National Forest with miles of undisturbed wooded shores and spectacular views.

We are located very close to the Smith Lake dam and is also near Duskin Point Marina (great for refueling and a quick snack). It is 55 minutes from Birmingham, 2 hours from Nashville and 4 hours from Memphis.

Spacious, clean and comfortable with lovely views of the lake. Very accommodating kitchen and dining area. Great outside decks and porches. Walk down to the water is a manageable slope that isn’t too long or too steep. Would rent again.

Retirement Party
Spent 4 days at the Lake house. Had a blast. Invited some friends and co-workers to a party to celebrate my Retirement. Beautiful property. Had everything that we needed. Lots of seating, both inside and out. The steps into the water were wonderful. Don’t use “Waze” to find the location. Google or Apple Maps work best. I look forward to staying there again next year.

Great vacation
We really enjoyed our stay. House is beautiful with great view. Kitchen had everything we needed. The pool table was in use all the time except when we were floating in the lake. Several of us really enjoyed the paddle boards. That is a great amenity. Very peaceful on the water.

Dad’s 75th birthday celebration!
Family Paradise was the perfect setting for my family to celebrate my dad’s 75th birthday. The house was set on a beautiful cove with breathtaking lake views. We enjoyed the kayaks, slide, and jump platform. We tried to fish , but were never able to catch anything. Shannon was very responsive and able to answer all questions we had leading up to the trip. I would definitely recommend staying at this location, and I hope we can again soon.

Beautiful View
My family truly enjoyed our stay at Family Paradise. The beautiful lake view is the star of this vacation home. We enjoyed the large kitchen and eating area, as well. There is plenty of seating throughout and even a pool table. If you are looking for a relaxing stay on the lake with plenty of room for family and/or friends, this is it. Unrelated to the home, I was disappointed to see that previous renters had broken bottles and left cans on the lakeshore. I don't know how to stop this, but it was sad to see.

Getaway with friends.
The lake house was just as nice as advertised. The bedrooms were nice and clean with comfortable beds. Kitchen had all the amenities and the furniture was plentiful and comfortable. Huge bay windows provided a great view of the lake with beautiful sunsets. The property is as secluded as you can ask for for such a popular lake. I highly recommend the property to large groups.

The amazing views from this property are endless! Family Paradise rests at the mid-focal point of the cove! This lake retreat was perfect for our multi-generational (20's through 80's) family holiday celebration! The kitchen is large and fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, and appliances! The walk-thru butler's pantry is perfect for holding your groceries! We cooked, baked, ate, laughed, and enjoyed the breathtaking views from every window! Highlights: fishing off the dock, sitting around the firepit in the evenings, taking in the views from the swivel chairs on the top deck, playing pool, and playing cards at the large family table! Family Paradise feels like the lake house that has been in your family for years! The owners are excellent and the process to rent and stay at Family Paradise is easy to follow! Family Paradise is Smith Lake VRBO vacationing at its best!
