Weekend at the Lake

We had a wonderful time at Smith Lake and really enjoyed the cabin. It is like new and beautiful. The beds were comfortable and the hot water endless. The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. The only negative was the internet. I don’t think the router is large enough for multiple people. However, that would not stop us from coming back. We would definitely stay here again.
