Smith Lake, a vacation paradise, is Alabama's third largest with 21,000 acres of deep, clear water and 650 miles of rocky shoreline located adjacent to Bankhead National Forrest and the Sipsey Wilderness Area. The B&B offers waterfront suites and fishing gear, floats, kayaks, and paddle boards for complimentary guest use. Great lake view.

Smith Lake B&B is located on Rock Creek on Lewis Smith Lake in Crane Hill, Alabama. Our lakeside resort provides a wonderful alternative to hotels in nearby Cullman and Hanceville, with easy access to water activities on the lake as well as area attractions such as Bankhead National Forest, the Sipsey Wilderness Area, Smith Lake Park, and Rickwood Caverns State Park.

Common areas include the gazebo with gas and charcoal grills, hot tub on the outdoor deck overlooking the lake and the B&B’s large boat dock, which provides lake access and slips for your boats or jets skis. The B&B provides fishing gear, floats, kayaks, and paddle boards for complimentary guest use.

The main house of Smith Lake B&B was constructed to be a small B&B on the shore of the lake in 1992. It was operated for a few years before being sold. It served as a family vacation retreat for about 8-10 years until acquired by Jim and Alex. They opened their lakeside resort for business in 2005. Jim and Alex worked overseas for about 15 years in several different countries. They traveled extensively and stayed in pensions, ryokans and other B&B-like lodging. Alex wanted to open a B&B on a lake when they returned to the USA. After an exhaustive search in the Tennessee Valley, they settled upon Smith Lake with its clean, uncrowded water, beautiful rock shoreline and affordable property. They have made a few modifications, added the Airstreams and boat dock and catered to many guests who visited Smith Lake. They added Real Estate services to be able to show lake properties to their guests. The B&B has hosted guests from Europe, Asia, and Australia. We have had visitors from many states and have found property for many of our guests. We take pride in the level of service we provide.
