4 Br Cottage Vacation Rental In Crane Hill, Alabama

Original Smith Lake cottage completely renovated in 2024, sitting on a shady lot tucked away on a quiet slough on Ryan Creek, just a short distance from Trident Marina. Enjoy the peaceful slough from the covered porch running the length of the house, the boathouse roof patio overlooking the lake, or the covered single slip boat dock with swim pier. 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards and multiple floats make this the perfect family getaway.
