My two sons, two grandsons and I spent four nights at the Cabin in the Cove. This is our 5th Smith Lake guys-reunion and, by consensus, the best. The cabin itself is very nice, very livable and extraordinarily well-equipped. The huge screen porch adds spaciousness, along with ping-pong and other games, two hammocks, and a nice table for six we used for evening meals. The deck provides a wonderful view of the lake. The cove shelters the dock from lake traffic. We made good use of the kayaks and canoe. It's fairly remote, so try to anticipate your food needs, but the kitchen has good appliances and all the cookware, utensils, etc. we needed. Julie provided helpful information and promptly addressed any concern or question. All-in-all, this is one of the best VRBO experiences I have had and I highly recommend it.
