Secluded Lakefront Home | Waterfall Cove

Arley, AL, United States

12 guests
4 bedrooms
3 bathrooms

Some lake homes have a view. This one has a way of life. Set on a wide, quiet cove on Smith Lake, this lakefront retreat offers 2,300+ sq ft space for up to 12 guests. Four bedrooms, three full bathrooms (two fully renovated), three spacious decks, a double-tier dock, and a basement game room make this the kind of place families return to year after year. Whether you're here to swim, paddle, grill, gather, or simply do nothing at all — this is your place on the lake.

Good to know

ON THE WATER Your double-tier dock is fully loaded — kayaks, a paddleboard, floating mat, diving board, and sunbathing areas ready to go. Three decks wrap the home in lake views, including a stunning double-level lakefront deck with panoramic water views. The upper deck is built for gathering: outdoor dining, a gas fire pit, and plenty of seating for sunset dinners and evening conversations. Fire up the Big Green Egg for unforgettable lakeside meals. INSIDE THE HOUSE The open-concept main level brings everyone together — kitchen, dining, and living all flow seamlessly with amazing lake views as the backdrop. The primary bedroom features breathtaking lake views and direct deck access, perfect for catching the sunrise. A bunk bedroom with a full-size bottom bunk, twin top, and folding sofa bed is ideal for kids. The lower level holds two additional bedrooms, two fully renovated bathrooms, a large-screen TV lounge with surround sound, and a mini fridge — a self-contained retreat for part of your group. GAME ROOM The basement game room is a guest favorite and keeps everyone entertained regardless of age — ping-pong, foosball, an arcade game console, Giant Jenga, board games, puzzles, a kids' crafts table, another living area, and a large TV with premium speakers. KITCHEN Fully stocked and ready for real cooking — dual convection oven, brand-new dishwasher, Keurig, drip coffee maker, complete cookware, spices, and more. Everything you need for big family breakfasts and lakeside dinner spreads. WORK & WELLNESS High-speed internet, a small desk with monitor, and a yoga mat are available for guests who need to stay connected or centered during their stay.
