Lakeside Luxury: Experience Tranquility in Our Remodeled Lake House
We've recently completed many updates to our home from painting all rooms including bathrooms, exterior driveway/walkway lighting to an all new, upscale, two story, boat dock that includes an overhead gazebo cover and seating for the entire family. The home also boasts great lake views from every bedroom, hardwood flooring throughout, granite countertops in the kitchen, food disposal, tile showers, room for 8 people around the dinner table plus seating for 4 at the adjacent bar. There is not one, but Two master suites (1 downstairs and 1 upstairs), each with a king mattress. The third bedroom has a queen mattress and we have a new trundle bed and new queen size blow-up mattresses. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom attached. The half bath is located off the kitchen. You'll enjoy covered parking in the carport as well. The laundry closet is located in the utility room. It includes an extra refrigerator/freezer, wash sink, and new high capacity, super quiet, washer and dryers.
Now, let's talk about the view! The sun sets directly in the middle of our cove each night. You will enjoy a wonderful view from the multiple seating options from the top of the boat dock and/or a view sitting next to the fire pit right on the point. The dock is private with large, full size stair steps, making getting in and out of the water a breeze. *We purchased, and Alabama Power installed, a Ronk BLOCKER to reduce stray electrical currents. Please search Ronk BLOCKER for more information on this safety feature.*

This property is excellent! Being located in a large cove and not directly on the main channel is ideal for swimming and playing at the dock. The two story boat house is so fun for the kids (and adults) to jump off! We used the fire pit every night. The beds were very comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, lots of outdoor hangout space, and it was all very clean and homey. The homeowner was very quick to respond to questions. Can’t wait to go back!
Everything about this house is perfection. Location, cleanliness, grounds, boat and dock, well equipped kitchen, great host… I could go on with many other positives. This is an absolutely stunning and well appointed home. We will be back!!
Booked the cabin two days before showing up. We had a family reunion and misjudged the size of our group, so we had to expand. The owner was very good a communication. If I had questions they were answered quickly. The cabin itself was beautiful and very clean. All the little amenities were supplied by the house. Sheets, towels, dishes, etc. My family had a wonderful time and when it came time to leave my kids didn’t want to go. Would definitely recommend to anyone that’s looking to stay at the lake.

We truly enjoyed hosting Lance and his family. They’re welcome back anytime!
This was a lovely vintage property, well supplied with all renters would expect. It was clean and had the amenities to make our stay effortless. The owner is a 5 star plus renter. He addressed every question we had with promptness and efficiency. My family highly recommends this lovely house for your Smith Lake vacation.

Thank you for the kind words, Brenda. We'd love to have you stay again sometime.
This stay was fabulous. This home is ver comfortable and the location on the water is fantastic. It is so quiet and lovely. The outdoor options for taking in the peacefulness are the best, the fire pit area, the new boat dock with awesome stairs, and the porch with large swing! The house is equipped with everything you need to enjoy cooking for a big group. We were told by others it is the best spot to fish on the lake! It is also a great place to get out and walk or just to just lay back and take a nap! We had a wonderful time!

Thanks you so much for staying with us, Kay. We are so glad you enjoyed it. Please come back and see us again soon!
We have decided to make this our designated place to stay on the lake! We have tried others, but this one is the best. Beautiful lot on a point with views of the lake on 3 sides. Very nice dock and my grandsons found good fishing from the rocks at waters edge. House was stocked with everything we could need and immaculately kept. 3 times now and it s better every time. Loved the new big tv!
Awesome, only complaint at all is air conditioning, thermostat kept resetting to eco mode even after several discussions about this, so both nights we came back to a hot house. Something that could easily be fixed. Other than that highly recommended!!! Great home an dock, great for swimming!!

I can summarize in a few words. “If we could own a lake house, it would be this one “! The point location on the lake was a perfect spot-beautiful sunsets. Boys roamed all over, climbing rocks and exploring. Water was cold but they jumped off the great dock anyway Easy walk to lake with gradual steps for those with difficulty with steps. Enjoyed fires at beautiful fireplace inside every night and fire pit too. We’re definitely going to be there again 2022

Thanks for being our guests! You guys were a joy to work with!
House is very nice and very well maintained. It sits beautifully on a quiet part of the lake and has great views from the house. Great fire pit area and the two tier dock is a big hit for kids that want to jump from the top deck. The ability to rent the pontoon boat from the homeowner is a huge bonus! Lake Smith is a beautiful lake but know that it is a good 25-30 min. from a grocery store so come with all of your supplies. The Homeowner was very prompt with responses and everything is well stocked at the house. We wish Lake Smith was closer to Atlanta because it would be a great place to have a second home.

Thank you for the kind words, Caryn. We would love to have your family come back to visit our home again soon!
My family of 4 visited the 2nd week of June 2022. Communications from the owner were quick and accurate from my initial planning, all the way through check-out. The home is clean, the property well maintained, and kitchen is fully stocked. For us, the best part was the dock! The kids had a blast jumping from the second deck, and we all enjoyed star gazing at night. We also rented the pontoon and tube for a day from the owner...again, no issues, easy interactions. If you are hesitating on this property, don't! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and cant wait for next summer!

We thoroughly enjoyed your visit to our home. Please come back and see us soon!
The house was beautiful and we enjoyed preparing our meals in the kitchen. The house was perfect for our family. However, when we jumped off the dock to swim our first full day, we were unable to get back up on the dock. The dock was giving off an electrical shock. It was a terrifying experience. We were told to use the rock ledge to swim. However, it was slippery and we were not comfortable doing so. We resorted to taking the boat out when we wanted to swim. Would love to revisit this property if an electrician can correct the shock issue on the dock.

Hello Cynthia. We're glad you enjoyed your time at our home. Since your stay, we've had an electrician double ground the property and test the dock again for stray electricity. We have also installed new plastic dock ladders. Finally, we're installing a Dock Lifeguard system to constantly monitor and provide constant peace of mind.
We enjoy both of Barret’s properties and will continue to rent from him.

Why they chose this property
This property can be rented with, or without, its slightly smaller "sister" property. We also have a Bennington pontoon boat for rent on a first come, first served basis. Book it on our separate boating calendar with your home reservation.
What makes this property unique
You won't find many lots that rival ours. With panoramic views of the cove, it's hard not to always have a beautiful view.
