Year Round Waterfront Lakehouse - Whitt's End
Do you need a break? Come join at us at Whitt's End! We are located on the main channel of the great Lewis Smith Lake and conveniently near the secluded William Bankhead National Forest. Please enjoy our 5BR/3.5BA lake home on a flat lot with year round waterfront. Our home is on lot that is wooded for privacy, but still allows breathtaking views of the lake from the screened in porch, living room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom. Our large screened porch is just off the living area facing the lake. The screened in porch is perfect for your morning cup of coffee, afternoon naps, to fresh fish being served at the table. We have a grilling deck with a charcoal grill right off the screened in porch. After supper, you will have a blast making a fire in our large fire pit with ample seating for everyone. It's only a short walk to the boat and swim dock.
Don’t have a boat? No problem. You can rent a pontoon from Lakeshore Marina. Lakeshore Marina is 1.4 miles from our home.
Do you love to kayak, paddle board or canoe? We are in the start of a no wake zone cove. It’s perfect for kayak, paddle boarding or canoeing!
You can enjoy a meal at one of the local restaurants if you don’t feel like cooking. The Marina as a bar/restaurant. Not far away is Chef Troy’s. Also, the Chevron gas station has one of the best cheeseburgers around!

My family stayed for spring break. Plenty of room and excellent communication with the property owner. Enjoyed everything and property was as described.
We really enjoyed the closesness to our own home. This was a perfect get away with friends! We had lots of room and the lids enjoyed fishing all weekend.
My family of seven was very comfortable at this property. We had everything we needed. Plenty of space to spread out, as well as huddle up. We would highly recommend Whitts End as a favorite getaway location.
We very much enjoyed our stay here! The property location is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The huge screened-in porch was absolutely perfect for enjoying a good book on while also soaking in the view. The house was pretty clean overall, but seemed like maybe we were the first ones there after being left empty for the winter - some cobwebs on the walls/ceiling and some stains on the comforters.
It rained the majority of the time we were there but what little time it didn’t rain, we had a blast. My son caught a lot of fish, so everyone was happy!
I have taken my children and grandchildren to Smith Lake 3 years in a row now. We have stayed at three different properties. This property is by and far the best yet!!! The property is very nice, the house is modern and boat dock was in good shape. The location of the house is great since it is not on the main channel with all the boat traffic. My family has already asked me to re-rent this property for next year.
Beautiful home, beautiful lake view, walk from the screened porch down the steps to your own huge pier and swimming deck. This house is perfect. Thank you for sharing your lake life with us!! We did not want to leave.
We loved our stay on Snith Lake. This house was very comfortable for my group of 11. The location is awesome with very little boat traffic so the kids were able to play of the dock. We had everything we needed as far as necessities provided by the owner and the A/C kept the house cold even in the summer heat. 10/10 definitely recommend.
Overall we had a great stay. I wish that the next door neighbors had been nicer. They rudely informed us that we need all trash to be put into a black garbage bag instead of the white ones that were already there and white bags is what we had brought from home. Who knew???? They also spent the entire weekend loudly pressure washing their boat dock with a generator that we couldn’t hear ourselves talk over. It just took away from the lake atmosphere having to hear that the whole time.
Property was just as described. The house had many outdoor areas the covered porch, fire pit, and dock were awesome. The no wake zone was perfect for my kids to go kayaking. The host were very nice and made sure we had everything, we will definitely be back.
We had a wonderful fun filled week! Perfect location on the lake ! House was clean and accommodated 11 adults and 4 children! Hosts were quick to respond with any questions! Would rent again.
Our family (grandparents, children and grandchildren) come to Smith Lake every July for a family vacation. “Whitt’s End” is in a more remote section of the lake so there is less boat traffic. Boat slip was great for our pontoon and public access to lake was close by (next to Lakeshore Marina). One evening we drove our boat to Lakeshore Restaurant and had a delicious dinner. Plenty of parking in driveway for 3 trucks,1 van and 2 boat trailers. Enclosed patio on back was a favorite spot to just hang out, eat meals, play games or just relax and enjoy the view and sounds of nature. Easy access to boat dock via wooden walkway (not too many steps) and walkway is lit at night. Home met all our needs regarding beds and space but was disappointed in the quality of mattresses on the main floor. Overall we had a great time!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Whitt’s end! The house was exactly as advertised, is was mostly clean (aside from the furniture on the screened porch and some windows) and comfortable. An easy walk to the water, lovely porch area where we could see kids playing in the water, and the dock was perfect with a covered area (with great seating) and open area for the kids to launch themselves into the water. Location on the water us nice because it is just inside the no wake zone. A couple of the bedrooms were very small, a couple were very large. We found space for everyone and even the small rooms were cozy. A couple of bedrooms have no windows, but that was nice for some of us who like to sleep in! Some general wear and tear on the house, but all in all a great time was had by all!! Would definitely rent again!
