Grace's Retreat - 10 minutes from I-65

Escape to a lakeside retreat only 10 minutes from I-65 Exit 305 on Smith Lake in Cullman, Alabama. Relax with your friends and family on the deck while watching your favorite sport on the 70'' flat screen television through the open garage door or with the screens in place. Or watch the sunset from the observation deck above the swim pier.



This unique commercially designed home includes two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The home can sleep one to six comfortably. The home features an open and large family room, kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is equipped with stainless appliances, granite countertops and with ice/water dispenser in the refrigerator. The home has been professionally decorated by an interior designer.



The home features two large insulated glass garage doors that can be opened for open-air and screens that remotely lower to create a completely screened-in porch for the entire home.



The home is located within five minutes of Smith Lake Park, with free boat launch and is directly across from Smith Lake Marina.

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.

Name says it all!
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!

2nd time here
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.

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.

We loved the place! Will come back for sure
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
