We had a great trip. The host was so communicative and gave such great recommendations for local attractions. The 5 bedrooms and layout worked so well for our family. Our kids loved the bunk room and game room. The little swingset was such as added bonus and our kids really enjoyed playing on it. The kitchen is so well stocked for all types of cooking. We loved that they had an air fryer

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Property was very clean inside. Beds were comfortable and kitchen had good accommodations for the family. Exterior chairs and tables required some cleaning before use. Water accommodations (dock, kayaks, paddleboard, etc.) were average and well used but usable. Access Ladder to dock is unstable and should be replaced. Hosts were very helpful and strived to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Ideal location on Smith Lake.

Thank you for being our guests in the Whitehouse. We appreciate your review. Tables and outside chairs are cleaned between each set of guests; however, due to rain, wind, & all the trees making it a beautiful shaded property, they do not always remain that way until our guests arrive. We have had excessive rain and wind for a while now. A day can make a huge difference & our cleaning crews can't always clean the day of arrival. Many short-term rental homes charge extra for paddle boards & kayaks. These are provided as a perk at no extra charge for our guests. We didn't know about the ladder, but will definitely look into it. Thank you for taking good care of our home. 😊 Darrell & Sherry
