<h2>About this space</h2>
<p>Bring the whole family to this great place with lots of room for fun. Relax and enjoy the view of the lake, swim off the boat dock, and even keep your personal boat there. The house is within 10 minutes of Smith Lake Park, so a boat ramp is easily accessible. You will have everything to enjoy a peaceful time on the lake from fully appointed kitchen to fiber internet. Enjoy fishing from the floating dock, sit by the fire pit, or relax and watch the sunset. Tankless water heater for big groups! There is a nice pool table, air hockey table, and foosball table in the game room. All are full size tournament style tables.</p>
<h3>The space</h3>
<p>The house is really big (3900sqft including the finished basement)<br>Every room has a smart TV and 4 of the bedrooms have king beds with the other one having 6 twin beds. The master bedroom and the basement both have views of the water from the rooms. There are patios on the basement and the main level that overlook the water.<br>There is also a set of washer / dryers on the main level as well as another set in the basement allowing you to keep up with the laundry on big trips.</p>
<h3>Guest access</h3>
<p>Guests have access to everything aside from the cleaning / owner closet.<br>Check in / check out is keyless locks with door codes The guests are able to do everything on their own.<br>We added 4 kayaks that the guest can rent for the duration of their stay for $100 flat fee for all 4.<br>(The small rental fee is the only way we’ve found to keep offering them long-term. When they were simply left open for everyone, we had issues with some guests abusing them, leaving them out, and losing paddles. Renting them separately helps make sure they’re used by guests who actually want them and will take care of them, while keeping the price reasonable for those who do.)</p>
<h3>Other things to note</h3>
<p>As with some lake houses, the driveway is steep. However, we have added a parking lot at street level that is perfectly level and can accommodate multiple trucks and boats as well as other vehicles. The upper parking lot has stairs down to the house that allow easy access. There is also a two car garage that is accessible if needed.</p>
<p>We have installed a Level 2 EV Charger. It is a J1772 connector (non Tesla) and charges at 50A. We also provide the adapter to charge Teslas.</p>
<p>We have another on Smith Lake and one on Guntersville Lake. If you click on our profile, you can see the other properties.</p>

SMITH LAKE: Gathering Place: Big House, Dock, Fiber Internet

Our family (11 people, ages ranging from 7 to 70s) spent a long weekend at The Gathering Place and we absolutely loved it.  It's in a beautiful location, secluded but only a few minutes from town. We were blessed with perfect weather, but had it been a rainy weekend we could have comfortably stayed indoors, with plenty of room to spread out and with activities to keep us busy (games, books, and TVs on every level).  The house is beautiful, very tastefully decorated, and every amenity has been thought of.  We were able to cook our meals with ease, because the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. 
We were also big fans of the grill.  And last, but not least, the hosts were great, very responsive and easy to work with.  We are already making plans for another trip.
