About Us

Smith Lake Rentals and Sales

Smith Lake Rentals and Sales, LLC is a full service vacation rental management and real estate company focused exclusively on Lewis Smith Lake in North Alabama. Our core mission is to help property owners and buyers make informed, profitable decisions when purchasing, renting, and maintaining lakefront property.

On the rental side, we specialize in short term rental management for lake homes, offering marketing, dynamic pricing, guest communication, housekeeping coordination, and ongoing property oversight. Our deep understanding of Smith Lake, seasonal demand, and guest behavior allows us to position properties effectively and maximize rental performance while protecting the long term value of each home.
On the real estate side, we work closely with buyers who are interested in purchasing lake property with both lifestyle and investment potential in mind. Our approach goes beyond a traditional real estate transaction. We help buyers evaluate location, dock access, rental viability, zoning or HOA considerations, and long term revenue potential. By combining real world rental data with local market knowledge, we guide buyers toward properties that align with their personal use goals and income expectations.

Supporting both of these efforts is Smith Lake Maintenance, LLC, our affiliated maintenance and construction company. Smith Lake Maintenance was created to solve a common problem for lake property owners, finding reliable, lake experienced contractors who understand waterfront structures, docks, access challenges, and ongoing maintenance needs.
Smith Lake Maintenance provides routine inspections, preventative maintenance, repairs, and construction services that protect property value and improve rental readiness. This includes dock and deck work, exterior repairs, access improvements, and general upkeep required for lakefront homes. For rental properties, this proactive maintenance approach reduces downtime, prevents small issues from becoming major expenses, and ensures a better guest experience.

Together, Smith Lake Rentals and Sales and Smith Lake Maintenance create a vertically integrated model that supports owners and buyers throughout the full life cycle of lake property ownership. From acquisition and rental strategy to maintenance and improvement, our goal is to be a long term partner for clients who want to enjoy Smith Lake while making smart, sustainable investments.

Lewis Smith Lake

Lewis Smith Lake, commonly referred to as “Smith Lake”, is one of the cleanest lakes in the country! One big reason is that Smith Lake is a watershed lake with the water coming from very rural areas. There is no major river coming into the lake, rather a number of smaller creeks. Another reason is that Smith Lake is almost 300′ deep in places and most channels are well over 100′ deep. These depths contribute to the lake being cooler and cleaner.

Smith Lake is located an hour northwest of Birmingham, AL. It is just west of I-65 and north of I-22. Cullman and Jasper are the two largest home cities with full services and the smaller towns (e.g., Arley, Curry, Crane Hill, Bremen, Double Springs, Dodge City) have various levels of services and businesses that serve the lake and its guests.
