Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We absolutely loved this place! This is where history meets modern and convenience. This special home appeared to be recently redone and with love and intention. The floor plan was excellent. We are “bed snobs” and not a single bed disappointed. The kitchen was well appointed with anything you may need. Check in/out was easy and not burdensome. Strip the beds and leave towels in the bathroom. Location! Lakeshore marina is a 5-8 min boat ride. The covered boat slip easy housed our MasterCraft X-55 (large tower) with lout hesitation. The large lot was so much fun for our 14 month old granddaughter, as was the play-set just off the back porch. We have rented many places around the lake and this is by far our favorite away from home lake house. I am definitely missing some high points but, in closing, anyone thinking about securing this property should take the risk. We did and will 100% book again.

Hi! We are from NE Mississippi. We love the water and Smith Lake. We spent years staying at Lakeshore Marina and finally have a property of our own.

Why they chose this property

Double Springs is special to us! We love the small town with the big lake.

What makes this property unique

Our home has been completely remodeled and is on a gentle slope to the water. It is on the north end of the lake, away from the crowds.
