Emerald Cove at Smith Lake: 7BR house, sleeps 18+, beautiful channel views! | House in Arley
9 Bedroom House in Arley
Named for the crystal clear surrounding waters, Emerald Cove is one of the premier rentals available at Lewis Smith Lake. Specifically designed to accommodate multiple families, retreats, and large groups, this home is the perfect setting to relax and unwind.
The home is situated in Brushy Creek in Arley, located at the end of a channel in a cove which provides both beautiful, scenic views and calm waters for easy swimming and kayaking that is uninterrupted by boat wakes (ideal for children!)
PLEASE NOTE: we do NOT allow events such as weddings, etc. Please do not inquire about hosting events at our home.
The space
Featuring 3 different levels, extensive outdoor entertaining spaces, and beautiful views, this 5,000 sq ft lakefront home comfortably hosts and sleeps 20.
Built in 2020, the home has all new amenities and furnishings throughout. The main floor and second floor both have expansive, open concept areas perfect for entertaining and hosting large groups. A third floor living space + second bunk room provides a great area for kids. The home also features extensive outdoor entertaining areas, including a screened porch with gas fireplace, an outdoor kitchen + grill, and a large fire pit situated at the edge of a rock point that looks out on the channel. Unlike many homes at Smith Lake, this house has a gentle slope down to the water- only a few stairs to walk down to reach the dock!

- Please note: while we do typically offer wifi to our guests, there is not extremely fast internet available in our area of the lake and it is not guaranteed to be available (ie, you will likely have difficulty streaming shows, no on-line gaming, but when it is working typical daily web browsing/email/etc should work just fine albeit a bit slow!) As this is a rural area, internet and cell service is NOT always dependable and can take several days to get serviced if it goes down- please take this into account when considering booking at our property!
