We were disappointed in the following: 1) The grills were filthy, and no amount of cleaning would have made them usable. We had to go to Walmart and purchase one to grill on.2) The toaster was broken3) The kitchen sink faucet was damaged4) The game room smell was musty and not usable5) I had asked the owner if toilet paper was supplied for the entire group of people for the duration of the stay and was told they supply all for duration. This was not the case. 6) There were damp clothes in the dryer. We didn't discover this until the last day at time of check out. 7) The owner supplied detailed instruction about careful use of kitchen table and counters, etc. When in fact there were scratches and knicks in the table. We did not do any of that damage.

The home was beautiful with its view over looking the lake. The house was clean and comfortable with lots of room. Getting back and forth from town was easy and we enjoyed going to Octoberfest! The water level in the lake was too low for a swim but we enjoyed just sitting on the doc watching the birds.

Very nice house in a beautiful location on the lake. Communication with owner was excellent. My only concern was the stairs being very steep. The master bedroom and bathroom on the main level was a life saver for our older family member. We had a wonderful time!!

Family Vacation

We loved the house and property! The bedrooms were very large so everyone had their own space. We had the best week and one of our daughters actually got engaged while we were there. I don’t think the one set of neighbors are happy when renters are there but overall it was really great!

Lake Life family vacay

We absolutely had the best time at Tara King's lake house. Other than food and floats, we didn't need much else. Her home was well supplied with everything we needed for a relaxing few days with our big ol' family. House was spotless, beds were comfy and lake was a short walk away. Simply perfect. We'll be back again next year if the good Lord allows.

HUGE porch, great Smith Lake views, private dock AND a great property Host!

Great hilltop view of Smith Lake with a private dock for anytime, on-site access to lake below! It’s a lovely, quiet location, has a huge front porch facing the lake AND a private dock. Sitting on that porch with a mug of coffee early in the morning, watching the mist rise from the water, seeing geese forage at lake’s edge… aahhh, what a way to start a day!

Great Lake house spot

It definitely looks a lot bigger on the outside. We also thought there would be 6 individual rooms so that was a little misleading, but overall we really enjoyed our stay. The outside was beautiful and the inside kitchen was perfect.

Family Fun Weekend

Overall, the experience was pleasant. Beautiful views, plenty of seating, and all the amenities that one would expect from a lake house. However, the Wi-Fi was extremely unreliable which made very difficult to watch a movie with the family.

Nice

Loved how close it was off the interstate! The bedrooms are spacious. It was difficult to determine the bedrooms by the pics. There are 2 individual rooms, which is great for the single adults. And then 2 bedrooms with the additional "side rooms" which is great for families. So we were happy with our bed space. The kitchen was nicely remodeled. The living area is small inside, but plenty of space outside! The only negative is it would have been nice for the outside area to be blown off or washed off. It is high pollen season, but it still would have been nice for it to be blown upon arrival. There were several spider webs in the corners on outside patio that would have been nice if they were "blowen" off too along with patio. Otherwise, it was delightful! :)
