About Sarana (peaceful refuge)
Surrounded by Bankhead National Forest on Lewis Smith Lake, you’ll find 11 wooded acres with trail access to the lake and four additional forest trails. Along the way, you’ll discover occasional benches for quiet reflection amid the trees. We offer one rustic tent site featuring a 16’x16’ platform with power, water, Wi-Fi, a fire pit, and access to an outdoor shower with hot and cold water. Guests are also welcome to relax on our large covered porch and watch the deer wander by. Conveniently located—just 10 minutes from the Houston Recreation Area with a boat ramp, 15 minutes from the Natural Bridge Recreation Area, and 30 minutes from the Sipsey Wilderness, also known as “The Land of 1,000 Waterfalls.”
