Nice Getaway Spot

Our family spent between Christmas and New Year's at Cottage 1 of The Barn. There were six adults and it accommodated us well. The fire pit was a favorite.

Best lake weekend ever!

The property exceeded all of our expectations! It was super clean, perfect location, great communication and they even brought our boat rental to us. This was definitely the best choice for the 8 of us!

House and communications were great!

Really enjoyed the house and the bed was great. View was also great. On the downside, getting there required going on a gravel road, it and the paved roads had a lot of pit holes. Also, the steps required to get down to the lake and back up we’re excessive. I went up one time and moved the boat to the marina and drove back and forth..

Absolute perfection at the Cottages

2 families with older kids rented both cottages on the property. The decor was crisp, clean and everything up to date in 2020. The views were breathtaking. The location is short boat ride to any of the major marinas and both bridges. It’s also close to the rope swing the kids liked. The property mgr responded immediately by text for the few questions we had. This place is ideal for groups. We hope to make it an annual event

Smith Lake long weekend

Well appointed house with efficient layout, highlighted by a lakeview wall of windows. Fantastic view of the lake and limestone cliffs. Enjoyed kayaking the coves and catching spotted bass. Many steps to the water, but worth it.
