Team retreat there and had a good time. Caught a fish, and team liked to jump into the lake. There were multiple games that we could play there like ping pong, foosball, axe throwing, and corn hole. It's a little far to the water, but fun nonetheless.

We had a great time. We took our youth group from church. This place was perfect. The students were able to stay entertained in the basement with the pool table and ping pong plus the awesome dock down at the lake. We can’t wait to come back!!!

Magnolia Manor is an awesome VRBO property. We had 16 guys there for a golf trip and I didn't hear anything but positive feedback about the house and location. And trust me...if my guys didn't like something, they wouldn't hesitate to tell me. The house was spacious, clean and stocked with everything you need. The boat dock became a popular place to hang out. It's quite the walk down to it and then back up, but it was well worth it. We had an amazing stay and I dealt with an amazing host (Rickey) that was a great, prompt communicator. Looking for a large property on Smith Lake? Look no further....Magnolia Manor should be your choice!

Great location!!! No worries about boats or jet skis going by the swimming area. Private boat launch across the lake but it had gas non members could access 24 hours by carded pump. Beautiful home with lots of room. Everyone had a blast. Strongly recommend!!!Be aware dry county so bring your products with you.

Our stay at this lake house was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning, views of the water and the peaceful atmosphere. The house itself was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped with everything we could possibly need for a relaxing getaway. We spent our mornings sipping coffee on the deck watching the mist over the water, and our afternoons kayaking and swimming right off the private dock. Evenings were perfect for grilling and gathering around the fire pit under the stars. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the kitchen was a dream to cook in, and the large windows let in the most beautiful natural light. The hosts were wonderfully attentive, responsive, and provided great local recommendations that made our trip even better. It truly felt like a private paradise, and the time spent with our friends and family will always be remembered. If you are looking for the perfect lakeside escape, look no further!Blessings, The Trotter Family

The kitchen was really well stocked for a lot of people. The rooms were great except we didn't know that you had to go through the upstairs room to get to 3 more beds. The lake and sitting places were fantastic, our children and grandchildren had so much fun.
