The property was clean, owner was very friendly and helpful. Good communicator. Responds quickly. The house was dated, although clean, the hot tub did not work, had no place to tie up my boad as OLD boats were ih the only available slips. I tied up to the (only) side where kleets were installed on floating dock, but one of the dock floaters jetted out a foot or more , hitting the side of the boat. Could not tie upanywhere else, as had no kleets. House very musty, had air purifiers running on both levels. This is a great house for the money if you are seeking a rental house needing to house a lot of people. Great location, right across from Duncan Bridge Marina.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children.
Owner response: The hot tub is not rented on vrbo. Bad storms just before the check in caused the floater to jett out. One boat slip was empty. did not know if renter had a boat or not, or the size.Air purifiers run all time for circulation, did not smell musty to cleaners, All new kitchen appliances in both kitchens. Sorry i don't agree with your assessments . Please review other reviews. Wayne Riggs , owner.

We had a wonderful time!!! Location is perfect. The owner was so helpful. He shared not only his home but rafts etc. We were able to watch the 4th of July fireworks from the lower deck and boathouse. Lived up to all our expectations.Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.

our stay was wonderful. The house was just perfect for our group of twelve, we all had plenty of room. The view from the sunrooms was beautiful, you could see the sun setting from here. We were able to meet the owner of the house, he was in town and he came by to visit and check on us. The owner of the house was very accommodating and was there if we needed anything. We would highly recommend this property , it was clean and well maintained. The photos were accurate and the house was just like our home for the week. The house was located just a few miles from a marina , which had a very nice boat launch.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

The house had so much room! The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. The lot was well shaded with trees. Air conditioning in house was excellent. Walking to boat house was easy and there was a nice place to paddle around in the water. Our family had a wonderful time. The only thing that I would improve is the mattress in the master bedroom. We did our own cooking and washing at the house. I would certainly recommend it.Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1991
About the owner: I am a retired CPA, from my 42 year public accounting practice. I am 72 years old and a big crimson tide fan. I pull for war eagles if not playing the tide. My dear wife of 48 years died in 2008, so i don't need the home full time any more.
Why the Owner Chose Jasper:
Our family has owned a home on smith lake since 1970. The lake is the cleanest and clearest anywhere. The area around Jasper was a perfect place to raise 4 girls, who now have their own families.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Fishing, boating and water skiing when i was young. you can catch bass and stripe off the swim dock. One of my grandsons caught a 36 pound stripe last year, but not off the dock.
