Another great getaway here. This stay was late in the season and even with the water level over 6ft below full pool the ramp was still usable and plenty of water to play in around the dock. The shaded lot is nice when the temps are in the 90s and the house has no problem staying cool.

Liked: Location
Exterior of property had areas of junk. Interior and exterior stairs & ramps were not compliant with fire and/or building codes, 2d floor porch appeared not up to structural standards and was infested with wood boring bees, electric system would not pass an electric inspection, smoke detectors do not meet code requirements. Location was perfect for our fishing guide to pick us up at the dock, boat ramp was excellent. Interior was exceptionally clean with plenty of towels and linens. 2 refrigerators ans nice for freezing capacity.

Perfect location. Close to Duncan bridge by water. The fact that there is a private boat ramp on the property and a great dock were A for our family. Plenty of room for everyone in the house and relaxing on the back porch while laughing and talking with family made the trip great. It’s a great quiet cove with the benefit of being so close to the marina by water. The owners are so nice and very responsive.

Five Generations

The house worked just fine for our group. We enjoyed the porches and easy access to the dock. Upstairs kitchen is small so I would suggest using it for extra beverages. Upstairs is for sleeping. Downstairs kitchen is larger and well equipped. With our toddler we spent most of our time in the downstairs living area. The shady location helps to keep the porches cooler. We all had a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Barry and Deborah Bennett

Host profile image
Having grown up around Smith Lake, I know, firsthand, the beauty, tranquility, cleanliness, and fun of Lewis Smith Lake. We are glad to be able to share these pleasures with our guests.

Why they chose this property

This property is on a quiet slough with quiet neighbors, with a swim pier, one slip boat house, and its OWN boat launch. It is conveniently located on the water about half-way between Lewis Smith Dam and Duncan Bridge.

What makes this property unique

This property provides a spacious home, located just off the main body of the lake on a quiet slough. The lot is nearly level with a gentle slope to the water and a one slip boat dock with a swim deck. This lot is conveniently located near the main body, near the mouth of Rock Creek and about one mile from Duskin Point Marina. No traveling to and from the marina to put in your boat and PWC. Boat launch right on the property. Property has year round water and beautiful view of the main body but nicely tucked just inside a cove for a more peaceful vacation experience.
