AMAZING

This property is one-of-a-kind! Absolutely, one of the most gorgeous places we’ve stayed. Had an intimate wedding here for a party of 22. The house is super spacious with breathtaking views. Everyone we worked with, especially Shelly, were all so kind and accommodating. Memories that will last a lifetime!!

Amazing property, beautiful. Great host.

Love this house, some very small detail could be addressed, only 2 champagne glasses, only 1 hair dryer. I would recommend this house, I'm sure if I asked the host he would get us anything we needed. They were great and the house was wonderful.

Wonderful property for a perfect lake trip!

The property was as described and had gorgeous views and outdoor areas! The location on the lake was ideal for boating and swimming! The property was great, but the service was even better! The owner and manager were unbelievably accommodating and a pleasure to coordinate with. We couldn't have asked for a nicer venue for our 4th of July family lake trip!

Amazing views, beautiful home. A true vacation getaway.

Our family celebrated our parents 50th wedding anniversary at the Glass House. The house is perfect. Their were 12 of us and there was more then enough space. Whether you are outside on the large comfortable porch, by the fire pit or Cooking in the kitchen you feel like you are right on the lake. Views are amazing from every direction. We rented a boat and took the kids tubing, on a rope swing and jumped off cliffs. We also spent a good bit of time swimming off the dock. The house has everything you need for a relaxing and fun vacation. Smith Lake is a beautiful lake. We could not get over how big the lake is or the clean clear water. We would not hesitate to visit the Glass House again!
