Lakeside Getaway at Chateau Marlowe - the perfect location for a family retreat!

Welcome to our retreat on the main channel of Smith Lake, Alabama! With 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and a prime location, this is the perfect destination for your short-term getaway.


The open-concept living area and lovely upstairs porch boast beautiful views of the lake, allowing you to unwind while gazing at the water. The fully equipped kitchen offers modern appliances, making it a breeze to prepare delicious meals during your stay. An additional downstairs living area provides expanded space for the family to gather or an additional play area for the kids.

Each of the 4 bedrooms has been thoughtfully designed to provide a comfortable and serene atmosphere. You will sleep in plush beds, surrounded by tasteful decor and ample storage space for your belongings. Blackout shades and curtains will ensure you get the rest you need to enjoy each day of your stay. Each bedroom has a bathroom, so there's no need to worry about sharing facilities.

One of the highlights of this lake house is its deep water access, perfect for avid boaters and water enthusiasts. A spacious two-story dock allows plenty of room for sunbathing, swimming, and simply enjoying the water. The swim deck and swim ladder, as well as provided kayaks and paddle boards, allow the kids and kids-at-heart hours of fun in the water. There is one slip available within the boat dock if you would like to bring your own boat or rental. 4 adult life jackets and 1 child life jacket are provided.

A favorite feature of the house is the breathtaking sunsets, creating an unforgettable backdrop for evening gatherings. A well-stocked puzzle and game closet, and foosball table will allow you to have some family fun as you unwind from a busy day on the lake.

For eco-conscious travelers, we have a dedicated electric vehicle (Tesla) charger on-site, allowing you to easily charge your electric car and explore the local area with peace of mind. For other EVs, just bring your 50 amp cable or adapter.

Smith Lake and this home have provided our family with many memories and have allowed us to get away from the stress and pressure of life, giving us a wonderful, healing retreat. We are happy to share this space with others and know you will experience similar peace and relaxation here.
