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.

Perfect spot for a Family Lake trip
The property was perfect for a family trip with young kids. The dock had so many things to play with and the kids loved the slide. The house has a beautiful view of the lake!! And the large dining table and couches were perfect for our group.

This is the third time we have stayed at this wonderful home and plan on going again next year. We love having a Cove to play in with a wonderful boat dock. The house is comfortable for us all to spend time together and the host is the best ever.

Beautiful Lake House View
Family Paradise was a perfect fit for our family. There was just enough bedrooms for all of us. The view of the lake was amazing from most rooms and decks! It was fun to have the diving platform and water slide! We would stay again!

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.

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.

Great location
We had SO MUCH fun at Family Paradise! This is a great place to stay for a reasonable price. The owners were great and got back to us with all our questions. The lake was easy to get to, and the dock is so amazing. The kids loved the slide and jumping platform. The views are incredible. It’s off of the main channel so there was not a lot of boat traffic. ❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic Family Reunion at Family Paradise
Property manager approved our Family Reunion. Family Paradise was perfect! Clean, well supplied, lots of room, beautiful view and lake location, water activities on the pier a blast (slide and platform), close and easily accessible boat launch, pool table which can covert to ping pong, foosball, FUN! Roads need a bit of work as you get close to the location but that is expected in the county. Our family highly recommends Family Paradise!

Absolutely Perfect
This property was perfect for our family gathering. The view is stunning! It’s very private and they amenities were so nice. The dock was a great place to enjoy lots of swimming without worry of other boaters. Our kids in the group loved the slide, flat form jump, paddle boards, and inflatable lounge. Our communication with the owners couldn’t have been any better and it was so easy. Thanks for sharing this beautiful property!

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.
