Amazing Log Cabin on the Water!

A short drive from Birmingham, you will feel like you’re a world away as you meander along a quiet road with picturesque views of the countryside. You’ll be welcomed inside this beautiful rustic Adirondack style log cabin by the aroma of knotty pine into a huge kitchen and dining room where you can enjoy a family breakfast next to a real wood fireplace with wide views of the lake.

Take a moment to catch your breath before stepping into the Great Room. Here you can read a book while watching the boats go by on the comfortable leather sofa, enjoy a glass of wine by the floor to ceiling rock fireplace, watch TV with the whole family, or just sit and enjoy the details of this exquisitely decorated room with pine wood beams stretched across the soaring ceilings.

You’ll be drawn up to the loft where you will find an open area with bonus daybed and office area with wireless internet connection and a private full-size bedroom with views of the Great Room and Smith Lake. Just off the Great Room, a hand-crafted King Bed with a mural of the Lake and beautiful armoire make up the master suite. The master bath features a claw foot tub and an incredible custom stone and slate shower large enough for two.

Wake up to awesome views of the lake from the second King suite with adjoining bathroom. The 3rd ground floor bedroom features a King bed and 3rd bath. The 2nd floor offers a bedroom with a full size bed and sleeping loft with twin beds. With all the beauty inside, you tend to forget the main reason you came here but eventually you will find yourself on the back covered porch looking out over a large deck with table for outdoor dinning and outdoor wood burning fireplace. The amazingly clear and deep waters of the main body of Rock Creek.

A large fenced in yard allows Mom and Dad the opportunity relax on the porch swing and watch the kids and puppies play. When you’re ready to go down to the lake, a gentle walk leads you to the boat dock with swim pier and double jet-ski lifts. You’ll definitely want to take advantage of the large stainless gas grill enjoy your meal in the lakeside gazebo with picnic table and double glider. The house also has a state or the art security system with external cameras. With all these extraordinary amenities and accommodations for up to 10 people, you’ll want to come every season to Cody’s Cabin.

Family Memorial Gathering For Loved Ones
Our family of seven gathers once or twice a year to celebrate our grandson and oldest son's lives. The outside area was so pleasant. We enjoyed the rockers and swings very much. Having two coffee pots for this coffee-drinking family was a big plus. This is a time of remembrance and reflection for all of us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cody's Cabin. Our host was so kind and accommodating. He allowed us to bring our dogs, which we greatly appreciated. The cabin is beautiful. We loved that the king bedrooms are on the same floor. We wished we could use the hot tub, but in all fairness, it was not listed in the accommodations. The bedroom and bathroom doors need some work, as they are hard to open and close/lock, but we made it work.

Fall Break
My Family and 2 dogs had a wonderful stay in October. The weather was perfect and the cabin was very nice. We spent most of our time out on the porch sitting on the swing or by the fire. The kitchen was great for meals and had all we needed. We hope to return soon.

Loved the Decor - Fun Weekend!
My family and I had a wonderful time at this beautifully decorated cabin. There are a lot of great features to this property. The antiques and photos were very cool and sparked several conversations. We loved that it had 3 king size beds on the main floor, each with their own full bath. The fenced yard was great for our dog when he wanted to take a break from the dock and lake. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and serving the catering we brought with us. It is close to Triple Creek Marina and we had a lot of fun on our rented Sea-Doo. The guys all enjoyed fishing, even though they didn't catch anything. The rock shore line made for some fun cliff jumping. We did have a couple of minor, but important, repair requests upon arrival. Larry was very responsive and sent the handyman the next morning. The property is in need of a floor-to-ceiling deep cleaning and some maintenance and pressure washing on the porch, deck, and dock...but we didn't let that spoil our fun and enjoyment of this beautiful, crystal clear lake.

Family memories.
Great place for the family. Swimming and fishing right in the backyard. Short walk to the dock. Bedrooms were arranged perfectly for our family. 3 bathrooms a definite plus. Cell service a little spotty but that just forces families to spend time enjoying each other instead of being on their phones.

Beautiful getaway, perfect for families!
This cabin was everything we were looking for in an extended weekend vacation. The home is simply breathtaking, and the lake views are gorgeous. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms, and the layout of the property is ideal for multiple couples. Our group never felt crowded or in each other's way, and the privacy was really nice. The guys enjoyed fishing right off the shoreline, and the rest of enjoyed the mild weather in the shade of the gazebo. We're looking forward to going back to Cody's Cabin again!

Beautiful cabin. No wood for fireplaces was disappointing. Comfortable beds. No tv’s for kiddos in bedrooms, Wi-Fi was trouble some at times. I’m guessing water level was down which made ramp a little scarey to walk on, although we couldn’t find any fish in the lake 🐟 It was relaxing and plenty of seating overall. Location was nice and easy to find. Had a great birthday

Cody's Cabin's Critique
When we walked through the front door of the cabin we were amazed at how beautiful it is. The furnishings are amazing! The kitchen has more accessories than any other place we've ever stayed. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms totally modern and spotless. The back porch and swing were my happy spot. The gazebo with glider...another happy place. Super easy access to the water with dock to either fish from or jump off for a swim...but there is a ladder for the more timid swimmers. I think we spent more time on the huge deck than anywhere else. So nice with so much seating to enjoy the fireplace...even though we didn't build a fire. The view is incredible! Needless to say...we loved it! Thank you so much Larry, for sharing it with us!

Perfect for Family Getaway
Our family enjoyed 3 nights at Cody’s Cabin, making memories together. It was the perfect place for us, easily accommodating 2 sets of grandparents (in their 70’s), aunt & uncle (40’s), mom & dad & baby; as it offered plenty of bathrooms & bedrooms with king size beds. Additionally, fenced backyard made for less stress keeping up with a 1.5 year old and two dogs.

Fabulous lake stay!
This is our 5th time renting this house with our whole family (ages 8 - 77) and we love it more and more every year! There's plenty of room for everyone, the kitchen is so well stocked and large enough to feed the whole crew, and the view of the lake is perfect. We can't wait to come back next year.

Great Place
This place is nice - a real cabin feel. Plenty of room and bathrooms. Our grandsons loved the upstairs loft - we put all their toys up there. We also really liked the glider in the gazebo. The cabin was a little dark - need to use brighter bulbs. I put a bright colored tablecloth on the dining table and that brightened things up a bit. Just a few short steps to the dock, which is always a good thing.

Amazing impromptu getaway!
I rented Cody’s Cabin for a short impromptu getaway with a couple of family members and friends. The cabin is spacious and roomy. Plenty of place to spread out inside and out. The bedrooms were spacious and well decorated with a great cabin aesthetic. Three great bathroom’s especially the primary bedroom’s bathroom. House was very clean and well appointed. Host was very nice and responsive to questions. Would definitely go back!
