Cozy Campfires & Sunsets-Fully Remodeled Cottage-No steps to Lake-10min from 65

Kick back & relax in this peaceful and stylish cottage. Located on Smith Lake in Cullman. "Water's Edge" is an updated 2BR/1BA vintage cottage on a deep-water lot. Situated perfectly just inside a cove with big Western views of open water! Walk right off the porch onto the boat dock. Almost unheard-of access. Fully furnished kitchen. Fire pit. 3 Smart TVs. Fiber Fast Internet. 1 King, 1 Queen. Kayak. 15 mins off I-65. 45 mins from Birmingham. 45 mins from Huntsville. 2 hrs from Nashville.

The space
Experience the ultimate lakeside getaway, perfect for couples, small families, and water enthusiasts. This updated vintage cottage sleeps 4, with the comfort of 1 King and 1 Queen bed. This ideal location sits 15 minutes from I-65 in Cullman, AL.

Enjoy an unobstructed lake view from the quaint, covered porch. Watch nature fly by while enjoying the slight breeze of the ceiling fan, or drop the bamboo shades for those bright sunsets. The porch provides the perfect setting to connect with nature and unwind. Laugh the night away under the solar lights that help create and make this space so dreamy.

Take a couple steps off the porch to Western views of one of the country’s most pristine lakes. Make Smores by the smokeless Solo Stove fire pit, while storytelling from the cozy Adirondak chairs. Feet away, more solar lights will lead you down the dock to stargaze and listen to….silence.

By day, the dock is your playground. An early morning premier Striped Bass fishing spot right off the dock to fulfill every fisherman’s dream. Bask on the sun deck, enjoy the shade, or jump in one of the country’s top 3 cleanest lakes. Up for an adventure? Grab the life jackets and hop into the 2-person kayak to explore our numerous sloughs/ coves along over 580 miles of shoreline that Smith Lake offers.

Work up an appetite? Retire to the grill, throw on some steaks, stream the game with our high-speed Fiber Internet, and experience the day melt into the night. Our well-equipped kitchen is sure to impress with all the extras. Wash the day away in the steam-like shower and stretch into the spacious, inviting L-shaped couch to enjoy your favorite shows on the surround sound Smart TV.

Retreat into the King sized mattress and draw the black-out curtains. Or retire to the Queen sized mattresses to dream the night away.

Wake and repeat….

Our cottage has been recently updated, and we hope you love it as much as we do. Parents, we are DIRECTLY on the lake with NO obstruction between you and the lake. If you are concerned about your children running around close to the lake, I highly recommend a different property. I would not consider this property appropriate for toddlers or younger children who are not very strong swimmers. I highly recommend life jackets whenever outside and on the dock. We have professional pest control year round with additional mosquito treatments March-October.

While I understand the need for Service Animals, THIS LISTING IS AN APPROVED VRBO EXEMPT LISTING FROM ALL ANIMALS. INCLUDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORTS ANIMALS, and PETS. BRINGING ANY ANIMAL(s) ON PREMISES WILL IMMIEDATALY CANCEL YOUR STAY WITH NO REFUND.

Other things to note
There is a Solo Stove firepit out by the lake for your enjoyment. Please bring your own firewood. DO NOT EMPTY ASHES OUT INTO THE BRUSH. IT WILL START A FIRE. EVEN A DAY LATER. THIS HAS HAPPENED.

  • Final resting place for Brother Joseph, who created the art that is known as Ave Maria Grotto.This is a cemetery of only monks in residence at St. Bernard Abbey. Ave Maria Grotto, in Cullman, Alabama, is a landscaped, 4-acre park in an old quarry on the grounds of St. Bernard Abbey, providing a garden setting for 125 miniature reproductions of some of the most famous religious structures of the world. It was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on February 24, 1976, and to the National Register of Historic Places on January 19, 1984. The stone and concrete models are the work of Brother Joseph Zoettl, a Benedictine monk of St. Bernard's Abbey, who devoted some 50 years to the project, the last three decades (1932 to 1961) almost without interruption. They incorporate discarded building supplies, bricks, marbles, tiles, pipes, sea shells, marbles, plastic animals, costume jewellery, toilet bowl floats and cold cream jars. Born in 1878 in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Brother Joseph was maimed in an accident that left him slightly hunched due to cervical kyphosis. He immigrated to the United States as a teenager, settling in northern Alabama. Soon afterward he began studying at the newly founded Benedictine monastery of St. Bernard, where he took his vows in 1897. Br. Joseph was not allowed to be ordained as a priest, due to the rule of the period that stated any man with a distracting disability could not be ordained a priest. He ran the monastery’s power plant and was, even by a monk's standards, a withdrawn, quiet man. Brother Joseph rarely left Alabama, where he died in 1961.
