We stayed in Jay’s property for Memorial Day weekend. The entire stay was wonderful (property and lake) and Jay even informed us while we were there that bad weather was moving in. He was a wonderful host and we will definitely try to go back this summer!

Quick trip to view Smith Lake property

Looks like an office building from the outside, but has the cabin feel inside.......two small negatives, stop feeding the next door neighbor's cat and change the shower liner....but great place!

Thanksgiving Break

My sister and I enjoyed our stay at Littles. The kitchen was well provisioned for our needs. This is a perfect location for a large group to stay as one bedroom has two sets of double bunk beds. There was an occasional electrical glitch in the master bedroom where the ceiling fan didn't work and the key box was difficult for us to open in the dark after arriving late but these were small things that didn't prevent us from enjoying our stay. Our host was super patient and dealt immediately with any issue that popped up. We look forward to returning and staying here at Littles when we visit family in the Cullman area

Great experience!

We loved our weekend getaway at Littles on the Lake! Very clean, everything as described! The stairs to the pier are very steep & long! Was not expecting that, but we made it. Not much view of the lake either. Limbs and brush really need to be trimmed back. Overall, we had a great time!

Very clean and nice. We loved the concept and decor. My 2 and 3 year old boys could run around freely. We loved grilling every night. My mommy heart was a little scared of the steep transit to the dock, but I quickly got over it. Jay answered every question I has promptly. Loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Jay

Host profile image
Little's On The Lake was purchased in 2015 and is a family owned property. It is named for our Grandparents - Fred and Willene Little. The home was decorated by our sister who is an interior designer.

Why they chose this property

We purchased Little's on the Lake in 2015. The house is named for our grandparents - Fred and Willene Little. It adds to our portfolio of properties named after our grandparents - including Grace's Retreat, named after our other grandmother who passed away in 2008. More than anything our grandparents love having the family together. This house brings family and friends together throughout the year.

What makes this property unique

It is only a short drive from I-65 and is located less than 2 minutes from the public boat launch at Smith Lake Park. With the open floor plan, the house is perfect for large gatherings or getaways for couples, friends, and families.
