Decked Out • Main Channel Views • 80ft to Water • Sleeps 18 • Near Duncan Bridge

Welcome to Decked Out on Smith Lake where Lifelong Memories Are Made.

Whether you're planning a family reunion, a weekend with friends, a church retreat, a fishing adventure, or simply a relaxing escape from the city, Decked Out on Smith Lake is the perfect destination.

Conveniently located on the main channel of beautiful Lewis Smith Lake, between Arley and Duncan Bridge Marina, our lakefront home is easy to reach from Birmingham, Huntsville, Tuscaloosa, Decatur, and surrounding areas. You'll spend less time driving and more time making memories.

From the moment you arrive, you'll understand why so many families return year after year. Wake up to peaceful lake views, enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the water, spend the day boating or swimming, and finish the evening grilling on one of three spacious decks while watching the sunset paint the sky over the Bankhead National Forest across the lake.

We loved it! There were things for the kids to do separately from the adults. I would have rated everything excellent but the A/c went out of 2 bedrooms the first day and folks had to sleep on the couches downstairs but we were compensated and the A/c was being replaced on the day we left. Also the gas grill wouldn’t heat up. But the views and the dock were great. The host was great at keeping us informed on everything . I can see us coming back in the future.

We found Decked Out just as described on VRBO. It is a gorgeous home with beautiful views of the lake. We enjoyed the deck space and the fire pit area. Plenty of space in the home. The teenagers and adults loved the game room area. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and dishes and the beds were very comfortable. Great place to stay with family and friends.
Lake time is relaxing!

This lake house is awesome in all ways for your family. Quiet, clean, fun and the host was available for any questions we had. The double deck dock was a hit with the kids as well as the paddle boards provided. Lots of life vests of all sizes also provided. I will stay here every time I visit Smith Lake.

It was a beautiful house and the lake was wonderful. So clean and inviting. Boat rentals were easy and we spent a lot of time on the lake and jumping off the double decker dock. Downstairs was was a perfect place for our teenagers to have their own retreat.

Great Place for a Family Summer Vacation

This place was great for our family vacation. The house is wonderful, and the new decks and the double decker dock are truly outstanding. And the lake was great, it was deep, clean and during the week, it had very little boat traffic.
