Year Round Waterfront Lakehouse - Whitt's End

Do you need a break? Come join at us at Whitt's End! We are located on the main channel of the great Lewis Smith Lake and conveniently near the secluded William Bankhead National Forest. Please enjoy our 5BR/3.5BA lake home on a flat lot with year round waterfront. Our home is on lot that is wooded for privacy, but still allows breathtaking views of the lake from the screened in porch, living room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom. Our large screened porch is just off the living area facing the lake. The screened in porch is perfect for your morning cup of coffee, afternoon naps, to fresh fish being served at the table. We have a grilling deck with a charcoal grill right off the screened in porch. After supper, you will have a blast making a fire in our large fire pit with ample seating for everyone. It's only a short walk to the boat and swim dock.

Don’t have a boat? No problem. You can rent a pontoon from Lakeshore Marina. Lakeshore Marina is 1.4 miles from our home.

Do you love to kayak, paddle board or canoe? We are in the start of a no wake zone cove. It’s perfect for kayak, paddle boarding or canoeing!

You can enjoy a meal at one of the local restaurants if you don’t feel like cooking. The Marina as a bar/restaurant. Not far away is Chef Troy’s. Also, the Chevron gas station has one of the best cheeseburgers around!

Beautiful property!
We very much enjoyed our stay here! The property location is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The huge screened-in porch was absolutely perfect for enjoying a good book on while also soaking in the view. The house was pretty clean overall, but seemed like maybe we were the first ones there after being left empty for the winter - some cobwebs on the walls/ceiling and some stains on the comforters.

My family of seven was very comfortable at this property. We had everything we needed. Plenty of space to spread out, as well as huddle up. We would highly recommend Whitts End as a favorite getaway location.
