Good to know
Tucked into a quiet, protected cove on Smith Lake, this one-of-a-kind rustic-industrial retreat sits beside a small natural waterfall — a setting you simply won't find anywhere else on the lake. The calm cove water makes for safe, easy swimming, while the sound of the falls sets the tone for a stay built around slowing down and unplugging. With 2,500 square feet across two levels, five bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, plenty of outdoor space to entertain, and room for up to 15 guests, it's the ideal home base for family reunions, friend-group getaways, and multi-generational trips — everyone gets space to spread out, and the lake brings everyone back together. LAKE LIFE, FULLY LOADED The private double dock comes ready for a full day on the water: • Kayaks and paddleboards • Floating water trampoline and lounging mat • Seating and sunbathing areas right over the cove Back up at the house, two distinct outdoor spaces keep the evening going: • Outdoor dining area with a gas firepit • Separate lakefront lounge with a second gas firepit • Charcoal grill for family cookouts • Plenty of seating for sunrise coffee, sunset views, and late-night conversations • Outdoor shower — a full shower, not just a rinse — for after a day on the lake ROOM TO SPREAD OUT Inside, rustic warmth meets clean industrial style — wood, metal, and big windows that pull the lake into every gathering space. UPPER LEVEL The primary bedroom opens directly onto its own deck — the best seat in the house for sunrise coffee over the water. A cozy sitting nook with an oversized bean bag sits just outside, alongside a spacious multipurpose room with a bunk bed (full below, twin above), an elliptical and exercise mat, and a full remote-work setup with desk, chair, and monitor. LOWER LEVEL The heart of the home: a full kitchen with island seating, dining area, and large-screen TV lounge. Cook together, catch the game, or linger over dinner with lake views through the glass garage door and oversized windows — open it up and the whole space flows out toward the water. The kitchen is stocked for real cooking, not just reheating: • Electric stove with dual convection oven • Brand-new refrigerator that makes round craft ice (how cool is that?) • Coffee maker with sweeteners • Complete cookware, dining sets, blender, toaster, spices, and oils Two bedrooms complete the level — one with a queen bed and a striking double-ceiling feature, the other with a queen bed plus a bunk bed — along with a full bathroom. THE BUNK ROOM Always the kids' favorite — two bunk beds and playful décor make it the official headquarters for the under-16 crowd. THE DETAILS THAT MAKE IT EASY • High-speed fiber optic internet — fast enough to actually work remotely • Dedicated workspace with desk, chair, and monitor • TVs in the main living area and two bedrooms • Board games and puzzles for firepit-and-rain-day entertainment • Elliptical and yoga mat for lakeside workouts • Ceiling fans in most bedrooms and living spaces • Towels, toiletries, and hairdryers in all bathrooms • Starter kit of essential supplies
Other Details to Note

Neighborhood
The home sits in a quiet waterfall cove on Lewis Smith Lake, one of Alabama's clearest and deepest lakes — private and peaceful, yet an easy drive to everything Jasper has to offer. On and around the water: Swim, paddleboard, or kayak right from the dock. Hike to waterfalls in Bankhead National Forest and the Sipsey Wilderness, cast a line at Walker County Public Fishing Lake (with a dedicated kids' and seniors' pond), or play a round at Jasper Disc Golf Course. In town: Grab a pint at Tallulah Brewing Company, browse downtown Jasper's boutiques — Deb's on 5th, Lavish, Carol's, Harbin's, and Monogram Fever — or explore the Evelyn Burrow Museum and the Alabama Barn Quilt Trail. For the kids: Altitude Trampoline Park and the kids' pond at Walker County Lake. Day trips: Birmingham's Vulcan Statue, Botanical Gardens, and Civil Rights landmarks, or make the drive to Chattanooga for the aquarium and outdoor adventures.
Guest Access
Guests have access to the entire home, both firepit areas, the outdoor shower, and the private double dock with kayaks, paddleboards, floating mat, and water trampoline. Ample driveway parking with easy paved-road access — the property feels secluded but is never hard to reach.
