Beautiful

Our family of five had a great time here. The lake was inviting. We stayed through the week and it was very peaceful and relaxing. We spent the late afternoons in the arcade area. Had a fire and s’mores at the fire pit overlooking the lake. Our family had a great time. It’s a beautiful lake. The Only thing we’d do different, is stay longer!

Graduation Trip

This was a surprise graduation trip for my daughter! We had the BEST time at the cabin! Our stay was perfect, the cabin was perfect! Communication with the property manager ensure a good experience and even coordinated a smooth transition with the next guests who needed to arrive early. The cabin and stay were beyond our expectations and we are already planning a return stay soon!! Thank you

Smith Lake - Renter JDS

The overall stay was great, the property was nice, very small issues not worth mentioning. The master guest house was a little stale when we first arrived, but was better the second day. I found the decks and porch to be fantastic. The grill is probably on its last leg or needs some work, but we had a great time.

Great location

Everything the host expressed in the welcome email was accurate and appreciated. The house had more room than we expected. The dock is very nice and it was in a great location to other places on the lake. There are a decent amount of stairs to the dock but expected as this is common for smith lake. I’ve stayed in other locations where the steps to the dock were crazy and you would be exhausted by the time you got to the lake, or back to the house.

Family Getaway

We went for a weekend stay with family, and had a great time despite some of the rainy weather. The place was nice, and accomodated everyone. The inside was clean, but we had to clean all of the furniture on the back porch, due to pollen being on everything (it appeared that we were possibly the first guests of the season, but we LOVED the back porch & swing), and someone left trash & fishing reel parts on the boathouse. A few things we didn’t know about or take into consideration were how many stairs there were to the boathouse, the fact that there isn’t a dishwasher, that the only way downstairs to the game room was by going outside with all of the stairs, and also that Smith Lake Park is the closest boat ramp (we had two fishing boats with us). Otherwise we liked the place, and enjoyed our family getaway. Thank you for sharing your place with us).

Lake house

Great location on the lake. The dock is awesome and in great shape. Loved the PWC docks. It’s a 25 ish minute drive to a public ramp to launch your own boat or PWC. The house is great, we didn’t need all the space but there are lots of places to sleep. The driveway is steep and if you have a boat trailer it’s going to be a bit of a challenge getting it tucked in at the top of the driveway, but it can be done.
