Fisherman's Paradise W/Direct Lake Access, Covered Boat Slip
## Welcome to Smith Hammock
Slow down, unplug and enjoy the beauty of Old Florida at our peaceful lakefront retreat on Lake Kissimmee.
Wake up to the water, enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the lake, spend the day fishing or boating, then come back to the deck for dinner, a fresh catch and a beautiful Florida sunset.
Our cozy, recently remodeled 2-bedroom home comfortably sleeps four and gives you something that is hard to find—a private waterfront getaway where the lake is literally outside your door.
Bring your boat and enjoy a covered boat slip, trailer parking, a fish-cleaning station, outdoor dining, grills and a spacious lakeside deck with both covered and open areas.
Located less than a mile from Grape Hammock Fish Camp, you'll be close to boat launching, fuel, bait, tackle, ice and basic groceries. Westgate River Ranch is also about 10 minutes away for dining, entertainment, rodeos and outdoor adventures.
Whether you're planning a fishing weekend, boating trip, couples getaway or simply need a quiet place to escape, Smith Hammock is a place to relax, reconnect and make memories.
This lake house has been part of our family for three generations. We recently remodeled it and are excited to share a place that means so much to our family with our guests.

Great Lake views and vibes. Dock and porch situation was a great addition to the trip. Quiet safe community. Spent 2 days fishing Kissimmee, 2 days fishing on Headwaters and 1 day in Daytona for bike week. We had a blast! Would definitely stay again.
We had our annual cook out this past weekend. Needed additional lodging for guests. Great place, loved the view of the Lake Kissimmee. Boat dock came in handy for our boat.
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025
