Holiday rentals with lake access in Winston County

Probably one of the best places I have ever stayed for the weekend. A big group of us stayed here, and the home exceeded our expectations in every way—incredible place.

What a fantastic place! Perfect location on the water. Easy sloping yard down to the water with NO STAIRS! The house was in perfect condition and had everything we needed. We loved the place so much we have already booked a return trip for this summer!

My family's stay at White Oak was just what we all needed. Situated on a lake, the views were magical. The large windows & back porch captured the natural beauty and the tranquil surroundings. This location is perfect for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The house is near Bankhead National Forest with many scenic trails and waterfalls that are easy to hike with small kids, then you can return to the house and hop on the peddle boat or enjoy some smores by the outdoor fire pit. The house was clean and updated, & the hosts were very responsive.

Private, secluded location right on Smith Lake in protected cove. Grandson caught a 2' catfish from the dock while we were there. Beautiful view of the lake from the living room. Easy, close access to the covered dock with paved stone path. Kitchen nicely stocked with essentials. Would rent from Margaux again.

We enjoyed our stay here, it was a very nice home and we had a blast on the lake and on hiking trails around the area.

We gathered with our adult children and grandchildren at this large and beautiful house. The setting was so peaceful. The house is as described in the photos and listing, and the large dock was a highlight of this place, which offered shade as well. The outside area is the best part of this house with 2 large decks and a screened gazebo. We appreciated having two large tables close to each other (one inside and one in the screened porch) to accommodate our large group. The only issue we had was that the internet connection was spotty, which could be a combination of too many devices and being down the side of the hill. Cell phone service was non-existent; you would need to travel closer to the main road to make a call. The galley kitchen is tight, and the refrigerator is cabinet depth, which makes it smaller, but we made it work. The property manager, Stephanie, was fantastic. She communicated quickly and was very helpful. Overall, we had a great time.

This place was great and so was Steve. Our stay was cut short due to a storm that caused a power outage but up until that time it was perfect. We plan to book again soon!

This place is one of our favorites, our second trip here and it is a fantastic place. Clean, lots. of extras in the house, excellent views and easy to get to. Love the house and dock. Mr.Bill is very responsive if you need him (we did not need anything) Always checks on us to make sure our stay is going great. Great Host! We will return hopefully soon.

Our stay was great. The lake is beautiful. Plenty of parking. Condo was very clean. Owner was friendly and responsive and let us check in early, which made our timing much easier as we were trying to meet up with family in the area and needed to unload our car. Will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay in Greg’s lovely condo! It’s the perfect location with easy access to launch your boat at Duncan Bridge. The home has everything needed for you stay! Greg went above and beyond to find us a boat slip to use last minute for our stay!

Perfect place to stay for close access to Smith Lake Park. Boat trailer parking was easy right outside the front door and outside electrical hookup for batteries. Great little spot to stay at Smith Lake.

We had a group of 14 and the house worked great for us. It's a little challenging getting to the house, but the instructions are clear. The place is beautiful and it's in a lesser trafficked place on the lake, so we had the waters to ourselves. The host provided a lot of fun lake things like an aquapad, canoes, and paddle boards. If you want a slow, easy lake vacation, it's a great spot.

The best Airbnb we have ever had!! We stayed for our daughter’s wedding and stayed a few days after. Kari was very responsive and answered all our questions as soon as we messaged her. What a lovely beautiful home!!! You won’t regret booking this place at Smith Lake. Thanks Kari for making everything so special for our first lake visit to Alabama. Doug and Kathleen Luzier

The place is exactly as described and pictured. We had 3 couples and had plenty of space and seating. We brought food and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the cookware we needed. We had a boat and utilized the dock without issue. The place was very clean. The host was quick to respond to all questions. Wonderful stay! Would book again!

I highly recommend staying at this lake house. If you are looking for a place to relax and have all the things you need to have a wonderful time then this is the place for you. Will’s hospitality and communication was the best I’ve ever experienced with an AIRBNB stay. The pictures of the home look amazing online but when you get to the lake house it is even more beautiful.

Our family really enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to book with Taylor again in the future!

This place was great, the host will answer anything you need answered, and the house is in a great location with lake access.

We enjoyed our stay at the charming cottage on Smith Lake. The location was off the beaten path, and we loved the area. It was very peaceful with beautiful plants and wildlife to see on our walks around the cottage. The cottage was very clean, organized, and well-thought out. The things I especially loved were the desk facing the window, the metal side tables with glass lamps, the roll-out shelves in the kitchen, the gas stove, all of the supplies in the kitchen, the drying rack in the laundry room, the big windows facing the lake, and the screened front porch. Kristina was very responsive and helpful at all times! She was always friendly and professional. I couldn't ask for more from a host! Thank you so much! This was definitely one of my favorite airbnbs, and we will definitely be back!

We are very familiar with Smith Lake, so we knew this was a gem. Largely flat with a gentle slope to the water, it was perfect for young kiddos, including elderly. Conveniently located to local shops that had whatever we might need. Older home, but very comfortable and clean! Enjoyed the back deck and covered breeze-way along with the beautiful massive trees, we had plenty of shade to be able to have fun outside on even the hottest of July days. Strongly considering booking again. Loved every minute of our stay.
