This was our second stay in this home and we love everything about it. The dock and kitchen are stocked with anything you might need at the lake. Upgrades to the home were noticeable and much appreciated. Daniel was quick to respond to any messages we sent. The slew is quiet and calm making for a restful and fun week on the lake! 10/10 would recommend!

Beautiful property, perfect for larger groups

The house is beautiful, in an amazing spot right on the lake. Only issue we had was the road getting there and the steep driveway, both not big issues. Very nice dock with recreational equipment. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend bro anyone.

Perfect Family Lake Trip

My family rents a lake house every summer for vacation, and we had a wonderful time at this property. The layout of the home is perfect for multiple families, the kitchen is fully stocked, and there were plenty of water toys (kayaks, paddle boards, floats, etc.) made available for all. The large pier is located in a beautiful secluded cove, so we had very little boat traffic. It was like having the lake all to ourselves. Also, the owner was very responsive to our pre-trip inquiries. My family is already planning the date to return to this property next year. Thanks for a great vacation!!

Stay Terrible, Direction to Property, Property not clean

The property is beautiful. The views are amazing and peaceful. It was a bit difficult to located as the GPS did not pick up the address and there were not enough markings to the property. The parking is quite difficult; the slope/drop-off is a hazard and not adequately described on the property description. The smaller bed on the lower level/yellow room has a mattress that is need of replacement or attention. The house was not clean, and it was visible it had not been clean in a while. There need to be a water softener, it smells terrible. The sectional on the entry floor was not clean. The floor was not clean. The connectivity was awful. The beddings in the rooms are extremely dirty and have not been washed and maintained. Suggestion.. purchase toilet seats to fit the toilet. Replace the lawn furniture downstairs

Family vacation to Smith Lake

Daniel was an awesome host. Quick to respond to any questions or concerns. We had a slight issue with the HVAC, assessment/repair personnel came to the house promptly. I lost my cellphone at the property. Cleaning crew and owner were advised. Hopefully it will be located. Overall, the house was nice, cleaned and stocked with essentials for cooking, washing clothes and streaming Netflix, Hulu and Wi-Fi was spot on. The driveway......, 4WD came in handy. Little steeper than expected, it is on the lake, just the drop was exhilarating. The view from the 3rd floor balcony was bird-like. I was able to see the whole cove and branch of the lake. Quite relaxing, especially after majority of the family left. I had the place to myself for an hour before leaving. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family. Again, thank you Daniel for all your assistance.

Photos Don’t Do This Place Justice!

Beautiful, spacious home with amazing lake views! My family truly enjoyed our stay at Pittman Rock. The house was super clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed to make all meals, which was a plus considering not too many places DoorDash to the area. The only downside, in my opinion, is the steep driveway and gravel road leading to/from the property. Otherwise, everything was perfect!

Beautiful Fall Getaway

This our second time at this property over Thanksgiving. The fall color is gorgeous this time of year. Well-stocked and tons of space for our family of ten. The only downside of this house is that it is a little hard to get to- over an hour from the highway, and the steep gravel road is unnerving the first time. No cell reception but the WiFi is great. Lots of great hiking around (though it does require 30-40 minutes of driving for most of it).

Arley at the Pittman’s lake house

We had a wonderful time. This house has 3 levels of rooms so great for 3-4 separate families staying together. The driveway getting back up almost requires 4 wheel drive especially if it had been rainy. No more than 5 vehicles can park and maneuver around the other. It is clean but it’s also in need of a deep cleaning (Like cob webs being knocked down, dusting the trim on the staircases and ceiling fans). A house that size probably needs a deep cleaning quarterly or at least twice during prime season. We would definitely recommend this place.

Wonderful place to gather with friends.

This house is so beautiful and its location on Smith Lake has gorgeous views. We had a total of 15 people for the weekend and there was plenty of room to spread out. You can see that everything about the house and the property is well taken care of. The driveway was VERY steep but we were still able to carefully fit 8 cars close to the house. The open spaces on all 3 floors made it easy for everyone to spend time together. You can eat, drink, cook, watch TV, play pool or foosball, games OR hang our on one of the 3 beautiful decks to overlook the lake. I'm sure there's even more to do when the weather is hot and you can take advantage of the lake. It rained most of our visit but that didn't hinder us in the least from having a blast. I highly recommend staying here!

Coach’s 60th

We brought together men that hadn’t seen each other in 30 years to celebrate our beloved HS football coaches 60th birthday. The house made this get together by far more than we could have expected. Plenty of space and well kept plus just wow the views!! We were treated with the best weather and ample space to spread out and have room to catch up. We definitely talked about a return trip to this beautiful place and thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven.

Wonderful time together; billiards, foosball and lake!

This house is really wonderful. It is light and airy, with amazing windows, lovely decks, high ceilings and well laid out spaces. We had a crew of 11 ranging from 10 to 85, and everyone loved the house and the dock. The spaces in the house are really nicely laid out, with plenty of places for people to go read a book or enjoy the view, yet nicely constructed so that people naturally came together in the 3 main social spaces, especially the ground floor kitchen/living room. Having 2 en suite rooms (master and another) on the main floor was fantastic, as we had 2 different people with knee injuries. We did a lot of cooking, and the kitchen is well laid out and spacious. The only improvement we would recommend would be more plates, cups and flatware, and a slightly longer dining room table with 2-3 more chairs, so plates and seating match the bed count. However, it all worked out, so long as we stayed on top of the dishes. The dock had lots of toys available for renters, and we really enjoyed the lilypad, paddle boards and kayaks. Neighbors were all very nice, as well. Overall, this was one of our favorate Smith lake rentals, ever. We have already re-booked for next year.

Great Stay for Big Group

Great stay. House was clean and new. It had three levels to break up families staying together easier. Wonderful lake with life jackets, floaties, and such provided. The temperature was hard to regulate. It was too warm on the 3rd floor and freezing on the bottom. Even with 2 units, it was hard to get everyone comfortable at once. The gravel road to get there and the driveway was extremely steep and super intimidating. Five cars made it with no issues, but I wouldn’t let an inexperienced driver do it.
