Family-Friendly Smith Lake Waterfront w/Hot Tub, Pool Table & Kayak | House in Arley
3 Bedroom House in Arley
Welcome to The Cove At Smith Lake
Tucked away in a quiet, family-friendly cove off the main channel, The Cove At Smith Lake is a peaceful waterfront retreat where families and groups can slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of lake life. With calm water, a flat front yard for kids, inviting outdoor spaces, and comfortable interiors, this home offers the perfect balance of relaxation and recreation.
From the moment you arrive, the pace feels different. Mornings begin with coffee on the deck as the lake gently wakes up. Afternoons are spent swimming, paddling, grilling, or watching kids play in the yard. Evenings wind down around the fire pit or soaking in the hot tub as the sun sets and the stars come out.
A Setting Designed for Families
One of the most loved features of this home is its location in a calm cove. The low boat traffic makes the water ideal for swimming, floating, and easy paddling — especially for families with children. The flat front yard provides rare lakefront space for outdoor games, playtime, and spreading out without steep slopes.
Parents appreciate the visibility, safety, and peaceful atmosphere, while kids love having room to explore both on land and in the water.
Outdoor Living You’ll Actually Use
Lake life happens outdoors, and this home is designed to make the most of it.
The upper deck features comfortable seating and an outdoor dining area, perfect for family meals, game nights, or quiet mornings overlooking the water. A fire pit lounge area creates a cozy gathering spot for roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, or simply enjoying the evening air.
Just one level down, the private hot tub overlooks the lake and offers a relaxing place to unwind after a day of swimming or paddling. It’s a guest favorite in every season.
Water Fun Included
Guests are welcome to enjoy one kayak and one paddle board, ideal for relaxed exploration of the quiet cove. The gentle water conditions make this area especially suitable for beginners and families. Life jackets are provided for convenience.
Please note: while there is a boat and lift on the property, they are not available for guest use due to insurance requirements.
Grilling & Lakeside Meals
Outdoor cooking is easy and enjoyable with a Green Egg and full grill setup on the deck. Whether you’re preparing breakfast, grilling dinner, or hosting a casual cookout, dining outdoors with lake views quickly becomes part of the daily rhythm.
Bright, Comfortable Interior Spaces
Inside, the home features an open-concept living area filled with natural light and scenic lake views. Comfortable seating, a welcoming layout, and thoughtful design make it easy to relax together, watch a movie, or enjoy downtime between outdoor activities.
The kitchen is fully equipped with full-size appliances, ample counter space, and everything needed to prepare meals for your group. Indoor and outdoor spaces flow seamlessly, allowing everyone to move easily between them.
Sleeping Arrangements for Families & Groups
The sleeping layout works well for families, couples, and small groups traveling together. With king beds, bunk accommodations for kids, and additional sleeping options, everyone has space to rest comfortably after full lake days.
The layout allows for both togetherness and privacy, making it well-suited for multi-generational stays.
Peaceful, Private, and Uncrowded
Located away from the main channel, the home offers a level of quiet and privacy that guests truly appreciate. Mornings are serene, afternoons are relaxed, and evenings are ideal for disconnecting from busy schedules and reconnecting with each other.
Convenient Yet Secluded
While the property feels private and tucked away, essentials such as groceries, local dining, and coffee shops are just a short drive away. You’ll enjoy the feeling of being removed from the rush — without sacrificing convenience.
