Summer Family Getaway

We enjoyed our time staying on Smith Lake. The location was fantastic and the views were amazing. The home, specifically the appliances, kitchen pots & pans, and hallway bathroom were outdated but the home was super spacious for 3 couples and 2 small kids.

Perfect for our family

This property met all of our expectations. After 5 annual trips to Smith Lake, we finally found the place that truly works for 8 adults. Plenty of space and parking. The house layout is great and the location on the water can’t be beat. Already planning our trip for next year!

We enjoyed our stay here. It’s in a nice quiet location without a lot of water traffic. There were no tv’s in the bedrooms, which was not expected. The house is very spacious and the property is very spread out.

Great place!

This is a great place to stay, especially with a larger group. Plenty of room for our group of 8. The host was very helpful and quickly responsive. It’s in a great location on the lake and only 10-15 minutes from grocery store. The house was clean and had very comfortable beds. The kitchen is well stocked if you plan on cooking all of your meals while staying. Overall a great place to stay and definitely recommend if planning a trip to the lake.
