About this cabin rental

Welcome to "Hidden Gem" on Smith Lake. A mountain lovin' girl married to a lake lovin' boy found the perfect home to fit both of our loves. Hidden Gem provides guests the feeling of being nestled in a mountain cabin retreat while being located on beautiful Smith Lake. Our home has brought many Woosah (defi: tell someone to calm down and relax) moments for us that we would like to extend to you.
This cabin is our family's vacation spot, but we would love to share with others when we are not there. Hidden Gem is a 3 bedroom 2 bath log cabin nestled in a cove located on the main channel in the central part of the lake. It is perfect for families with small children who want a secluded spot to swim or fish without worrying about boat traffic. The home is located just minutes from Duncan Marina (where boat rentals are available).
The upstairs loft boasts a fantastic owners suite with a queen size bed, private bath with a spa inspired shower and relaxing sitting area with large flat screen TV, DVD player, and Wii play station. Downstairs hosts the remaining two bedrooms, bathroom, living room, and kitchen and dining area. Bedroom 1 consists of full size bunk beds, twin day bed with trundle twin bed, Tv and dvd player. Bedroom 2 has queen size bed, 65” smart tv and washer and dryer are located in this room. The living room has all leather furniture, flat screen TV, DVD player. There is a large video library available for your viewing enjoyment.
The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove, fridge, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker. There are also utensils and spices available for the avid cookers who like to whip up delicious meals! A charcoal grill is available for the grill masters as well.
In addition to lake access from our 10 X10 swim pier, our home is located across the street from the neighborhood rec area that has a tennis court, basketball court, and football/soccer field. We do offer the use of any equipment we have (soccer ball, tennis racquets and balls, basketball, archery equipment) for our guest to use during their stay.
The neighborhood boat launch is located just over 1/2 mile from our home and there is space available to store you trailer at the house.
The outside of the house has a sloping walk way down to the swim pier. We offer a canoe, paddle board and aqua lily pad for guest to use for their enjoyment while here. There is a large fire pit for you to huddle around during the cool fall evenings and make s'mores or just enjoy some music from the outdoor speaker available. Or you might just want to enjoy some quiet reading time in the hammock that overlooks the lake. During chilly winter months you may just want to cozy up around the wood burning stove in the living room with a book or movie. The relaxing options are endless!
This home has been a wonderful place for our family to relax and reconnect, we hope that you will enjoy it as much as we have. We look forward to having you as guest in our home and sharing in your own Woosah moments!
(Is considered seasonal water and water levels fall low in late fall through the winter. There is no cable, but Wifi is available.)

The cabin was very nice and cozy. We loved it and loved the wildlife! I cleaned and filled the bird feeders and then enjoyed watching the birds especially my favorite, cardinals. Enjoyed the deer too and saw the fox twice. Downside was the drive to/from the cabin—roads are terrible. Also, would enjoy more hiking trails.

This place was perfect for our group. The kitchen was fully stocked, which was perfect since we cooked most of our meals while there. The outdoor fire pit was the perfect place to hang out this time of year! We will definitely be back.

We had such a great time! The cabin is perfect for large family trips. Plenty of things to do with the kids and adults. It was clean and well equipped with everything we needed to prepare a Thanksgiving meal for all of us. Having the ability to bring our beloved goldendoodle was the icing on the cake. It was such a great stay that we are working on dates to go again in the summer to make use of the access to the lake. 5 Stars!
6 / 10Average·Oct 2025
The cabin itself was perfect for a girl's weekend. However, the lake was already VERY low, so we could not access the water at all, which was disappointing. The listing does say the water will be low late fall and through the winter, but it doesn't specify you won't be able to access the dock at all. The most disappointing aspect for us, though, was that the thermostat was set to 85 when we arrived Friday afternoon. It took overnight for the cabin to cool down, and it was sweltering for the first few hours. There were also a couple of dead bugs in the floor, so maybe it wasn't cleaned since the last guests stayed there. It would be nice to have it refreshed before you arrive though, and set the thermostat on a more reasonable temp the afternoon of, or even day before, guests arrive. A/C is a necessity in Alabama - even in late September!
