We loved it! There was tons of space and room for a whole family. Kitchen and master bath were lovely. We’re going back and bring our grown kids and grandson! Perfect surroundings with everything you need and gorgeous lake to look at. Gracious owners left us an anniversary card and cake! Can’t recommend enough!!

Beautiful Place

Loved the lay out of the house and easy access to water. Would love in the future to see a dock to walk out on and fish or just sit to enjoy the water more.

5 Star Lake Property

My self, husband, and his family stayed 3 nights at this perfect house on Smith Lake. The area was private and peaceful, with very little traffic on this part of the lake. The house was spotless, provided all the essentials for a comfortable stay (such as WIFI, newer appliances, some of the most comfortable beds we'd ever slept in, and more), and plenty of space for 6 adults and a teenager. It also included all of the lake essentials, like fishing equipment, a canoe and two kayaks, and life jackets for all sizes. We also enjoyed a meal at a delicious restaurant that had homestyle cooking, great burgers, and a full bar, and it was less than 10 minutes away! I would definitely recommend this property to everyone I know, and we will be planning to stay again in the near future.
