About this house rental
Situated in Lewis Smith Lake, this lovely house for R 10,898 per night is a great option for your next break. Simple luxury awaits you in this lakeside retreat with a rustic modern feel. No detail was spared in outfitting this space, all with breathtaking lake views from nearly every window. The double slip dock is steps away, complete with SUPs, kayaks, a lily pad for swimming...even a lift for your boat! Perfectly located within a gated, private development with access to the hilltop community pool and clubhouse. Free dock delivery with pontoon rental partner and private Level 2 EV charger as well. Hillside Hideaway is situated just inside the protected cove from the namesake point within Point William, a private 22-acre community comprised of 16 unique homes designed to blend perfectly with the land's natural surroundings. Our home is located in the perfect spot, with big water views yet the offered protection of the cove for those on the dock or swimming in the deep, clear water. The steps to the house descend between two massive boulders to the front door. The custom craftsmanship and attention to detail are immediately evident upon entering, as are the designer furnishings and decor. From the spacious living area, the double doors invite you to take in the incredible view from the covered porch. Next to the kitchen and living area, the keeping room is perhaps the most stunning room in the house, with two walls of windows to take in the lake on one side and the hillside on the other. The kitchen is also walled in counter to ceiling windows, as well as beautiful concrete countertops, a full-size freezer in addition to the refrigerator, and a separate ice maker in the butler's pantry. This floor, as well as the master suite, feature a Sonos audio system and support mobile Sonos speakers as well. The upper level has two guest rooms, each with a queen bed, with views that make you feel like you're on top of the water! There is also a full bathroom on this level with plenty of shelf space and a huge shower (both showers in the house have Kohler shower heads with wands to make it easier to bathe kiddos). From this level, the adventurous ones in your party can climb the ladder access for the finished loft, which has four built-in twin beds and a couple of bean bags. There is a removable ladder guard to keep little ones from ascending the ladder. The secluded lower level is where you'll find the master suite, with a gorgeous king bed and private access to the lower deck overlooking the lake. The master bath has a full-size tub and large walk-in shower. The washer and dryer are also found on this level, as well as access to the lower outdoor living area, complete with adjoining fireplace. The lower deck, illuminated at night by string lights, has a large table for outdoor dining, a gas grill, a swing and an outdoor shower for summer nights. The walkway to the private dock, also illuminated with an assortment of lighting options and nearly level with the lower deck during summer months, leads to the double slip dock with lots of water toys, a Solo Stove fire pit, a Hydrohoist boat lift, shaded seating area, and a bunch of Adirondack chairs in the sun. From here you'll be able to hear the multiple waterfalls across the cove after rains and see some of the brightest stars in the South at night!

Give us a follow us on Instagram: pt_william_hillside_hideaway A few things to note: For those unfamiliar with Smith Lake, please understand that the lake is located in a rural and somewhat remote area of Alabama; the same qualities that make it so serene and peaceful also lead to it having a bit of an "out there" feel. The roads coming in, especially the last mile drive down the hill to our community's gate, are narrow, twisty and most lack stripes. Once inside our gate, the road is a paved one-way loop that's a bit steep and curvy but completely navigable with a 2-wheel drive (unlike some areas of the lake). There aren't street lights here, although we did install landscape lighting to illuminate the pathway and house after dark. The terrain at Point William, like much of Smith Lake, is rugged and steep; our houses here were uniquely positioned at the bottom of the slope right on the water, unlike many homes on the lake on top of bluffs with long walks down to the water. With that said, there are 25 steps from our parking pad to our front door; as mentioned, they are lit and we have handrails along most. You will find that AT&T works wonderfully here, but any other carrier doesn't work once you come down the hill from the pool and clubhouse. The home does offer wifi (via 300 mbps fiber optic), so we suggest guests utilize wifi calling when needed. We do have three outdoor cameras, all motion-detected and provide on-demand viewing by us (Ring system). They view the dock, the front door area, and the parking pad (all outdoor).

This is the best lake house we have visited! Clean, comfortable, amazing neighborhood, and the best part is it's located in a quiet cove where you can safely swim without heavy boat traffic. Everything is as pictured and listed. The owners were immediately responsive to any questions. We can't wait to come back!

Our family will be booking this home again! It’s a beautiful and well appointed home with enough space for everyone. The outdoor porches are perfect for morning coffee and evening drinks! Great outdoor table for doing alfresco style! The owner even provides SUP and Kayaks. I couldn’t be more impressed with the home or the management of the property. Book it before it’s gone!

My family and I had a wonderful time on smith lake for Thanksgiving. This house did not disappoint. We have stayed in this neighborhood the past two years in different houses but the same layout. This house was very nice and decorated to the 9s. We had a wonderful time and will stay here again when we come back

The listing was even more beautiful than I expected. Often photos over sell a rental but not here. We had a great time relaxing by the lake. Jason was very responsive and worked with our requests for the weekend.

Summer Fun on the Lake
We absolutely fell in love with the views of the lake, the surrounding, and the house. Everything we needed was readily available. It was like home away from home. The house was very comfortable and perfect for multiple families. Our grandchildren loved having the loft all to themselves!! The dock was spacious with plenty of seating and ample water toys for our adventures of the cove. The perfect mix of adventure, fun and relaxation. Jason and his wife were available for any questions and we’re so helpful and super easy to work with.
Look forward to a return visit.

My group stayed two nights at the property and we were blown away at the location and the beauty of the house. The amenities on site were more than we could ask for, the owner seemed to think of everything that someone may need and provided it to us. The only thing my group saw wrong with the property were that there weren’t very many exterior lights. Otherwise the stay was amazing and I would recommend it to anybody wanting a quiet getaway.

Amazing Lake house
The entire place was truly spectacular! The house was very clean and it’s a diamond on the lake. We had met family with kids and we truly had an incredible weekend. The owner is all over it. He was such an incredible help and didn’t miss a detail. Hoping to be back this summer.

My family rented this property for my mom’s 60th birthday / easter weekend and couldn’t have loved it more. The owners provided detailed instructions for the whole process to make our time there extra enjoyable. The house is BEAUTIFUL! Such a quaint space that Is decorated exquisitely. The lake views are wonderful as well. The dock is the perfect size for families to enjoy. This was our first visit to Smith Lake, and were were very pleased with the area and the lake. The neighborhood is super cute, and the lake is one of the cleanest in the country!
