5 BR Retreat on Beautiful Smith Lake & Close to I-65

This is a beautiful, peaceful retreat for winter, spring, or summer. Whether sitting out under the overhead string lights at night or on one of the many decks, this house has an awesome view of Smith Lake to enjoy from the deck, living room, or screened-in porch! It is conveniently located near Smith Lake Park, Speegle's Marina, Smith Lake Zipline, Slippery Summit Aqua Park, WildWater Park (slides, wavepool, etc), Whitlock's Cafe, 2 produce stands, other restaurants, & only 6 miles from I-65, Exit 305 (County Road 222). Cappy's Boat Rental is less than 1/4 of a mile from the Whitehouse. It’s a perfect location to make memories with family or friends!

This house has 5 bedrooms, including a double-bunk room with a television. There are two full bathrooms and 1 washer/ 2 dryers. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything to make your stay easy & enjoyable. Lots of seating areas inside and outside. For your entertainment, there is a game room in the basement with a pool table, dart board, and a Foosball table, as well as a mounted television. On first floor you’ll find board games and lots of dvds to choose from. Two kayaks and a paddle board are also provided for your use.

This property offers tons of room outdoors for enjoying the view of the lake while relaxing or sunning on one of the spacious decks or enjoying your morning coffee on the screened-in porch. Charcoal grill & gas grill (with gas provided) are on the deck for cooking out as well as fire pit with seating for cooking your hotdogs and s'mores! Lots of graveled parking included for guests and boat trailers.

Wander down the easy, winding rock pathway to the pier which has a 10 x 14 swim deck on dock. There is room to tie up your boats or wave runners to dock and side of ramp. There is also a boat ramp 1/4 mile from the Whitehouse to launch your boats for a $5 donation (put in box). You can also park trailers (if needed beside Cappy's -launch in front if Cappy's Boat Rental).

All four tvs are Roku- living room, game room, kids' room, and master bedroom with strong WiFi.

**Please inquire about additional weekly and monthly discounts during fall and winter off-season dates. Great for business trips or interim housing needs.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The dock does not have water under it when the water level is 502 or below (this is in early fall sometimes, winter, & very early spring); however, there is always water access from the lot. Send a message to the property manager for more information about the current lake water level or check smithlake.info for current level.

Great place and close to town
This rental has everything that you will need when staying on the lake. Kayaks, life jackets, and paddle board were all provided. All of the cooking materials that you could need along with some basic spices. The grounds are beautiful and the house sleeps a lot people comfortably. The owner was very responsive with any questions. They even provide some snacks and basic essentials such as toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, soap, etc… i highly recommend this rental.

Great Weekend Getaway
We went with 3 family’s with kids ranging 2-12 and had a great time! The white house was the perfect stay for us! Darrell and Sherry were so helpful and quick to respond. The only downside was the water was a little muddy here, but bc the water level was low at this time. But ours kids didn’t mind at all because they would “turtle hunt”.
