Amazing!
We had the best time, the house was amazing with plenty of room for all of us to sleep comfortably. Having the lift to get down to the pier really made a difference in our stay! We loved swimming off the dock and taking out our boat daily!

We enjoyed our stay. The home is beautiful and clean. I love the warm tile floors. The steps to the water are rough going up and down but we were not surprised because we read the reviews. The sunroom on the deck needs cleaning and maybe some new furniture. Overall I would suggest this vacation home to anyone who does not have mobility problems.

Review Respite
Beautiful house. Some maintenance issues. Many recessed lights out, especially outside where footing is tricky at bight. I asked manager about starting gas fireplace and she did not know how. Missing key to turn on gas but host did not seem concerned enough to have one delivered. Also the internet (satellite) was very spotty and the tvs, advertised as smart, only could stream a couple of aps. Renter needs to bring their own rocu and run on their own phone hotspot for streaming. Lovely property.

Awesome Weekend
Great relaxing stay!! Beautiful home with all the amenities you could ask for. Great location to Trident Marina, and the Castle House is right across the lake. Kept our boat and two jet skis onsite at the boat house and we loved the area. Will definitely stay again!

Great boat dock, beautiful open concept kitchen/ living room, dining room.
We had a large family gathering for Father's Day. Just needed more space and this was the ticket. Beautiful home. Yes, there are steps to the dock. This is Smith lake- very few places do not have steps. All of our family made it down without problems- even my nimble 90 year old Mom! It was very clean and livable, and the ice maker was fantastic. For those checking in- we got there after dark, so it was a bit unusual. The first door is not the main door- you go down a few steps to the third door. None of the bedrooms have windows, but that did not bother anyone in our group. Thank you so much for offering this beautiful home for VRBO!

Weekend getaway
The house was very clean and a great location! The only complaint is the mattresses on the beds are very uncomfortable, but other than that everything was perfect! Would definitely recommend!

Gorgeous home on Smith Lake
This house is amazing. Very unique layout. Giant open first floor with living room and dining room and a very impressive kitchen that includes a Wolfe gas stove and an ice machine 🤩. There’s a small bathroom with shower just off of the foyer. Also on the first floor is a suite that includes a den, full bathroom and 2 bedrooms. The tv in this den was the only one that we could get to work for us to stream a movie, but it kept buffering so even that was a no go. Upstairs is another sitting area and a small office. The master suite is roomy with a firm king size bed and an en-suite bath to die for. Behind the master is a bedroom with 2 twin beds and another full bathroom with a soak tub. The two story 2 slip dock is wonderful with tons of open room in the sun as well as a covered area for shade sitting. Small glass cooling room that has a window a/c that works great! The only negative is the distance down the steep hill to the water—lots of steps. If you have any mobility issues this won’t work for you.

Great house for a large group
Overall it was a great property. The distance and number of stairs to the lake was not advertised. The stairs were dangerous with no handrails. If the lift had been working, it would not have been an issue. The lift needs to be repaired to have proper access to the lake. The ice machine was not working as well.
