Perfect lake location

The view from the property of the lake is wonderful. Also the upper level of the dock is a great place to relax and watch the sunset. Having access to the boat lift was a big plus for us as well. We had a wonderful few days of family and friends

Family Trip

My family stayed for spring break and had a great time. The house is just as described and communication with the owners was excellent. They responded to all my questions and even worked with my husband to find a place to launch our boat and store the trailer. Our kids ranged in ages from 8 to 19 and they all loved it. We played on the rocks, kayaked, and enjoyed the 2-story dock each day. We enjoyed everything about our stay and hope to return next year!

Fall Break with the Guys

We had an amazing long weekend at this property! Super comfortable inside and out! The host was great to work with and helped us get checked in early. Amazing back deck and dock to take in the lake morning, noon, and night. Very quiet neighborhood on one of the best parts of Smith Lake. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic

We have stayed at multiple rental properties on Smith Lake, and so far this was definitely the best. The house was clean and updated. The 2-story dock was a hit with both kids and adults. The view from the front porch was amazing. The kids enjoyed all the places to jump off and swim. We would definitely stay here again.

This house is a perfect location with spectacular views of Smith Lake! We so enjoyed the back porch for the sunset views and sitting at the table for sunrise for breakfast. This house was spotless inside and out! We spent so much time on the beautiful 2 story dock watching boats go by and can’t wait to stay here again! 5 stars!

Beautiful property that never disappoints

This is our third year staying at this perfect lake house. The house description is 100% accurate. The views are beautiful. It is peaceful and relaxing to sit out on the front deck. The boat dock is perfect for hanging out, swimming, and fishing. We brought our jet ski and bass boat this year, and we had a great time out on the lake. I love the location of the house. If you want a great vacation, I highly recommend this lake house.

A wonderful spot - clean, peaceful, great for swimming

We had a wonderful time at this lake house. The house was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well equipped. The dock for baiting and swimming was great. My teens swam and kayaked and spent hours hanging out by and on the water. The property was pet-friendly and my dog loved laying on the deck of the house watching boats go by. The house itself was perfect for a weekend stay. We will stay again.

Spring break on the lake

We really enjoyed our stay. Sitting on the porch in the mornings with coffee and listening to the birds was fantastic. House was exactly as expected, very clean and very well equipped. We really appreciated the selection of coffee. We brought our boat as well, boat launch was close by and owner supplied great directions. Family enjoyed be able to fish off the rocks as well as the dock, beautiful dock. Would highly recommend this property. Thanks for a great week.

Wonderful 2nd Stay

This is our second stay and once again it did not disappoint. We had a wonderful stay and had so much fun on the lake. This location is peaceful and beautiful and the house is perfect. We brought our jet ski and it is easy to get to the house from the Saddleback Bridge Boat launch. Having Triple Creek Marina almost right across from the house made it super easy to get fuel. This is a great location and the town of Arley is a few minutes away. The Arley Cafe has great food and is a hidden gem. This was a perfect getaway. I really love the house and location.

Birthday weekend

Very nice house and beautiful location. Loved the dock and spent a lot of time there enjoying the great weather. Dock was perfect size for securing and storing my boat. Owner should fix hand rail on deck as it was very wobbly. In addition the bbq grill was covered in grease and caught our burgers on fire the first night. Had to breakdown the grill and clean to use the second night.

Perfect location for a fishing trip.

We stayed here in March during my son’s school break. The house was immaculately clean and the kitchen had everything I needed to cook with. I even told my husband that I think it’s the cleanest rental we’ve ever stayed at. The lake level was lower, but we expected that since it’s winter/spring. It still has very deep water around the dock and my son was able to fish off of the dock and the shore. It’s a very nice dock and I liked to sit on the upper deck. There were not very many people on the lake while we were there (early March), but I could see how the lake would be bustling with boats once the weather gets warmer. Check-in was easy, communication was good and instructions for checking out of the house were easy as well.

Family Thanksgiving

We had a great stay and enjoyed the house and dock a lot. Luckily I am a planner and brought everything under the sun because there were not a lot of extra supplies (such as dishwasher pods & tp) and there were no seasonings you could use. Some places have at least some basics but this did not. We have stayed at many places and I just bring whatever I think I will need. The Publix in Cullman does deliver which surprised me. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone. The setting was beautiful and quiet.

Awesome

The property was awesome. The home was equipped with everything that we needed. The views were exceptional. The only draw back was we arrived late Friday night and had to go to a public boat launch since we were not able to take the boat to the property and trying to locate the property at night in the water was a little trying. But the host did provide pretty good directions from the boat launch. I would definitely use them again.

Relaxing getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our six days and nights, and highly recommend Providence Point. The home has everything we needed, and we really enjoyed sitting on the deck and the dock and enjoying the wonderful expensive view. Quite frankly, we spent very little time inside. We are 60-70 and got a bit puffed going up and down from the dock but it is totally worth it. We had chipmunks, deer, squirrels and hummingbirds come visit us every day. Close by Arley has everything you need. We wanted to chill and cooked in every day. The BBQ made it easy. The hosts have ample chairs on the dock and deck, and the house is appointed with everything we needed and was comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and highly recommend this VRBO.
