Southern Serenity - Secluded Waterfront home on a quiet and peaceful cove.
About this campground/ rv resort rental
Located in Lewis Smith Lake, this attractive campground/
rv resort for $186 per night is a great choice for your next break. Looking for the perfect lake vacation? Yet hate the crowds? Southern Serenity is located 2.5 miles down a dirt/gravel road inside the Bankhead National Forrest on 110ft of cleared shoreline on a secluded cove of Smith Lake. We are on seasonal water, which means from the months of October through early March, the water level in our cove drops down to a mud bottom. Mid March, the spring rain and the dam starts filling. If you want to take a boat/kayaks out during this time, you will have to drive about 15 minutes down the road to the public landing to launch. Though March through September, we are at full pool, and our cove is anywhere from 10' to 20' deep! There is WIFI. **Also, FYI, Google GPS isn't very accurate but is pretty close. You will also want to try to arrive before dark. The house is very secluded, and there are no streetlights, but we do have a sign saying Southern Serenity with lights on it to help find the way.** **Also we provide a complimentary pack containing 1 laundry pod, 1 Dishwasher pod or dishwashing liquid bottle, 1 dryer sheet.** We also provide 1 roll of paper towels and 4 rolls of toilet paper, 2 in each bathroom.** So please plan accordingly.

We have stayed at the lake for many years. This location was perfect. It was hidden back away from all the busy water traffic but just minutes away from gas, food and everyone we hang out with. If we were to buy a place it would be just like this one. No big stairs to or from the water. It provided everything we needed. Just don’t forget to grab some wood for the fire pit but if you do.. Gateway Foodland is not far away! Check in and out was super easy. Definitely a place we will stay at again.

Our family enjoyed our stay at the property. It was clean and very comfortable. The hosts provided many amenities in this peaceful place. They provided kitchenware, WIFI, games, movies, streaming service, kayaks, etc. There were also many beautiful places to hike & explore near the area that led to gorgeous waterfall views. It does warrant mentioning that if you plan to make use of the washer and dryer during your stay, you need to bring your own detergent. They provide one laundry pod, however you are expected to wash the towels with it before your departure. Overall, this was a nice place to spend the last stretch of our Spring Break travels. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay at Southern Serenity! The kids loved the dock and my husband loved the grill. Great back porch. Decorated perfectly with big comfy beds. All the kitchen supplies you could ever need. Probably the best stocked place I have ever stayed. Only drawback was gravel road to get there was a bit bumpy but thats common in this area. Very good communication with the owner and the location was ideal for visiting Bankhead Forest. 15 minutes to local grocery store and dollar general.

Very relaxed environment. It is a quiet place that my two sons and I loved sitting out back on the deck, BBQ, and thinking about going fishing but we decided to stay on the deck cause it was so lovely. The owners are great too.

Bring your food, clothes, toiletries, and STAY! Everything else you need is there! Pots, pans, silverware, bed linens, towels, games, fishing rods with lures, grill, firepit, extensive dvd collection, kayaks, john boat, life jackets, floats, etc...Couldn't ask for a more gracious and helpful owner or seemless process. Matthew checked with me more than once to make sure we had everything we needed. The property was just as it was described on VRBO. We spent a whole week here and never had an issue. We relaxed, played a ton of games, fished A LOT (successfully I might add), cooked good food on the BLACKSTONE, hiked in Bankhead, kayaked, and thoroughly had a great time! You won't regret renting this place!

Excellent property!!
Our family enjoyed our stay here so much! The property was so clean and comfortable. The owners thought of everything and all the amenities helped make our stay so much fun. We loved kayaking, swimming off the dock, sitting by the fire, and playing some of the many games there. Thank you for a great place for families to make priceless memories.

Fun times
We loved staying here. The owner was very quick to answer all our concerns. The house was on a private cove but a short boat ride to the open water. Level yard to the water was a plus. House was very clean and well equipped with everything you need.

IDEAL GETAWAY
My family & I had a great time at this rental on the lake. It was emaculate & was supplied with everything needed. Everyone loved the kayaks, the lily pad, swimming, grilling on the deck, roasting hotdogs & marshmallows at the fire pit, & relaxing by the water. The host always responded quickly to messages & made the process run smoothly. Would definitely recommend this rental.

Very clean, new, cozy but roomy, single wide trailer with large, super nice covered deck on back. Beautiful view of the lake with a gentle sloping yard, making lake access ideal. Owner has thought of every convenience and supply for enjoying the lake, and other things like: Blackstone griddle, movies, games, excellent bedding, crisp white towels, shampoo, body wash etc. Kitchen was so well supplied for cooking ! Kayaks, Jon boat, lily pad, floats and great outdoor furniture. Nice pier and fire pit with Adirondack chairs. Everything is super clean and at your fingertips. So many details-wind chimes, outdoor lights, bath robes, bag of ice, coffee fixings, fishing rods, net, lures, bottled water, and all the gadgets for the Blackstone grill. The only things you should be aware of is the property is very secluded on a dirt road and there is no WiFi, (but you can Roku the TV.) However, once you arrive it is fantastic with so much to enjoy! Thank you Matt for sharing your property with us! We really enjoyed Southern Serenity!

Excellent lake house!
This was a great rental. The house was beautiful and very well appointed (they had absolutely everything you might need at a lake house). The owners were quick to communicate and respond to any questions we had - they made it very easy and enjoyable!

Our family had an awesome weekend in this lovely home. If you want peace and quiet, this is perfect! The lake view from the back porch was beautiful. We spent lots of time hanging out on the porch and watching our kids play. We loved how quiet the neighborhood was hence the description “secluded waterfront home”. Wish we had booked the place for 5 days. The host was very quick to respond to messages. Thank you so much, Matthew. I would highly recommend this place! We will go back!
