All Around Awesome!!
Grace's retreat was awesome!! Comfortable beds, enough seating for all, great deck with view and well equipped kitchen. I hosted a Father's day cook out. We had serving plates, cutting boards, and mixing bowls and enough utensils for all. Terry was awesome when dropping off/picking up the pontoon boat. We had a fun time on the lake and will be returning.

Perfect Grace's Retreat
I can't say enough nice things about this place. It's location which feels like you're over the water surrounded by just enough trees to keep you cool. Well appointed inside and out. I took my 97 yr old mother and my 47 yr old daughter. Suitable for any age. Kitchen well stocked for even the most gourmet cooks. If you have a chance, go for it.

Unique property
Well appointed unique property with functioning glass garage doors for door walls to patio. Property owners easy to communicate with and responsive. Not uncommon with lake properties, there is a steep walk to stairs leading to dock that may be challenging for those with mobility issues. Reasonable check out process. Would recommend location and would stay again at this location.

Will not disappoint!
Grace’s Retreat was perfect! The kitchen is perfectly stocked, the beds we’re comfortable and the deck and view were a hit! We didn’t walk down to the dock because it is quite a steep slope and we are a little older but it wasn’t a problem because the view from the deck was fine. Glad the trees still didn’t have leaves yet! We loved the garage doors but didn’t use them much because of the weather and we couldn’t get the screen to work. Distance to downtown Cullman was a short drive. I would definitely love to stay at Grace’s Retreat again if we make it back to Cullman. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Rented the house for a family cookout and birthday celebration. It was everything we could hope for. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed. Very short trip to the nearest stores which definitely came in handy a few times. The name describes it perfectly, it truly is a RETREAT!

Grace’s Retreat was a delight to stay in! Four friend gathered from different parts of AL to hang out, rest, eat good food, craft, watch movies and enjoy our friendship. The house was perfect for us. Lots of room with comfy furniture, a truly stocked kitchen, great beds with high end linens and the furniture out side on the expansive deck was high end also! No plastic chairs at this stay. God made the beautiful lake sunrises and sunsets which you can enjoy from the warmth of the house too. We’ll be back!

Love this property. This was our 2nd time here. We love the views, the back deck every night and those garage doors are just our favorites! We spent a long weekend watching football, spooky movies and just hanging out. We also always have a great time visiting Brother's during our stay..such a fun neighborhood lake spot.

Peaceful getaway!
Our family of 4 had the best time at Grace’s Retreat. We rented the boat for a day and enjoyed spending a day on the lake. The water was low, so we didn’t get to tube or ski, but it was nice to just cruise around and sight-see. The house was a great place for us to hang out, play games, cook,… There was ample supply of things we would need in the kitchen and throughout. We loved opening the garage door to feel the breeze and also enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the mornings and evenings. There is a beautiful view. All of the furnishings were so nice and comfortable. We were excited to see that there were 2 king bedrooms, both of which could be used as master’s. This was our first time at Smith Lake and we were unaware of the steep walk there is getting to the dock, this time of year especially. However, the house itself made up for any discomforts (me and my husband) may have had and my son had no trouble running up and down to fish all day. All in all, we had a wonderful time. It was so nice and peaceful. We loved the house so much and would definitely stay again.

The house is perfect! Great location close to boat rental, groceries and gas. The lake is magical! Clear beautiful water! We are in love! The weather was cool when we were there so we got to raise the garage door while we cooked breakfast one morning. Such a COOL amenity! It’s perfectly furnished, super clean, just a great place for a couple like us or a small group of friends! There is plenty of privacy. We plan on renting here again!

It’s a wonderful location and home- updated and big rooms and comfy beds and couches. Wonderful deck overlooking the lake. Easy access to Cullman. We had a couple of power outages due to strong storms in the area. The owner went over and above to help us out in that situation. So accommodating and kind. This is a wonderful place to stay

House Great / Deck Sketchy
Lake House is unique and beautiful. Wonderfully stocked with a gorgeous view. But the decking is starting to show its age. It’s a very steep, downhill incline to the pier and water…so be prepared! You will need to be able to handle the going up and down climb from house to pier . There is a half way point with a landing that has 4 chairs to sit and take in the view, but the wood is rotting and one of our guest had their foot/calf go thru and make a big hole. The pier also has some rotting wood that we placed our tackle boxes and coolers over, so that we didn’t fall thru and make another hole in the deck. Once those issues are addressed, it’s a safe place to hangout.

Great Place
We enjoyed staying here. The interior of the property is decorated nicely and has lots of amenities for a longer stay. The lake views are nice and there is a big deck with nice furniture to sit on. Host is very responsive. The only downside to us was the metal roof continuously expanded and contracted with the heat outside and AC inside, which made a loud noise and could be difficult for some people to sleep with. The shower curtains were both full of mildew. Otherwise, great stay.
