NEW! Country Villa: Dock, Pool, Spa, Waterfall, Grotto, Firepit, Fishing hole.
This is a new property, finished in 2022. It is simply the best. Stay at The Blue Marlin Inn once and you will come back every year. The Blue Marlin Inn contains top shelf comfort and style within an unbelievable setting and a most convenient central location on the lake. The pictures will tell the story. It has a dash of fantasy about it. The ambiance is eclectic and interesting. It is a cross between French country and seaside village with a tropical flair reminiscent of Rio or Tahiti. Some have said, it's like staying in a museum. There is something interesting around every corner and the sunset view as seen from the hot-tub is spectacular.
The house sits on the edge of a large rock peninsula, reaching out into the lake. In the summer the rock formation is submerged a few inches. In the winter it rises many feet above the lake, depending on the water level.
A private slough brings the deep water back into a grotto tucked under the forested shoreline. From the porch, you can actually see schools of keeper sized bass swimming and feeding in the slough. The estate sits on approximately 4 acres and has over 750 feet of shoreline.
The house is 12 easy steps down to the dock. Rent the 23’ Bennington Tritoon or pull your own boat or jet ski into the open slip beside it. Other rentals are available nearby.
Explore the deep water slough in your kayak and wash your face in the natural spring waterfalls filling the grotto at the back of the slough.
The property is often visited by deer, turkey and beaver that come down from the forest to drink. Bald Eagles are making a comeback at Smith Lake.
Fish for bluegill, crappie and bass along the very productive deep water shoreline or cast plugs along the dark banks of Bear Cove.
Gaze up into the dark and radiant night sky and behold the Milky Way in full splendor.
Stay safe under the steel covered patios and witness a fast moving Thunderstorm, shooting bolts of light, cracking and pounding the sky, while the downpour passes overhead.
For the finest accommodations, there are five in suite bedrooms, two kings and three queens each with it's own luxury bathroom. Three of the bedrooms have flat screen TVs. All showers have the standard wall faucet and also include a rinse wand for the hard to reach places. Single guests sleep in the basement bunkbeds and share a Powder-Room. There is a full bathroom by the pool in the garage.
Enjoy everyone's company in the great-room, open kitchen and open patio complex or turn the lights low and enjoy streaming movies in the Theater Room upstairs. The house is on fiber-optics WiFi service, so the flat screens have good performance and so will your cell phones.
Next to the Theater Room is the Game Room, a speakeasy style poker room made for gaming of all kinds and a Tiki bar for your Mai Tais and Margaritas. The Pool/Spa area is magical. After a hard day playing on the lake, relax and stay cool around the sparkling aqua pool. In the evening keep the party going when the waterfall and lights turn on. If heat is what you need, jump in the spa and drift off, looking up at the stars, while the waterfall plays its background serenade.
The boat dock has a large swim deck and those who want to take it slow can hang out there for a tan and a drink and a dip in the lake.
Get in touch with your inner chef. The kitchen features premium stainless Jenair appliances including a 6 burner gas stove top and two electric convection ovens, There is an under counter microwave and warming drawer, a toaster oven and a four slice toaster, twin dishwashers to clean everything at once and a large refrigerator/freezer, a wine chiller in the butler pantry, a full size refrigerator in the garage and a 80lb ice maker next to that, just to keep the pool party in ice all day long. Then there is a large stainless Blaze gas grill and griddle just outside the back French doors for the outdoor cooking enthusiast. It will be hard to find anything to match this culinary setup.
Then there is the lakeside bonfire pit to gather around and cook like a caveman: ribs, weenies and smores, or just stare into the mesmerizing flames and tell stories and joke around. If your lucky enough to be with your sweetheart, then trade romance and kisses. Bring your own firewood or order logs ahead of time.
There are so many sweet corners to hide in and around the house or down by the rocky shore. Even with a large group you can find privacy somewhere on the estate.
Duskin Point Marina is a mere 10 minutes by boat which, for this enormous lake, is right around the corner.
The Blue Marlin Inn is centrally located on Smith Lake. The lake is about an hour from Huntsville and an hour from Birmingham. Its about three hours from Nashville and three hours from Atlanta. GPS is a must have to find your way here and for boating navigation. It would take weeks to explore the 500 miles of Smith Lake shore, ranging from Goat Island at the extreme east to Bankhead National Forest at the far west end.
On your last night stay, you will begin to miss this place already.
