We absolutely loved this home. We knew we loved the neighborhood already, but this home fit our needs perfectly with a swimming pool as well as overflow parking for boats and cars. The house was clean, the kitchen well equipped and the beds were so comfortable. The host was very responsive and so helpful. We definitely want to book here again next year.

There were a few bumps but Carol was quick to have someone address everything. We actually checked in a little early and found the A/C was not working and when I texted her she called the A/C repair man and it was back on by the actual check in time.

AMAZING GETAWAY!

We had the best time on our stay. We loved the location. The house was perfect for our family. The dock was the perfect hang out for everyone. The grocery was a bit far- but the host let us know that in advance so not an issue at all! Great place to disconnect and truly get some peace and enjoy each other! We will for sure be back!

Family/Friends trip to Smith Lake

We had a great time at this home. It was met our needs perfectly. Plenty of room and very nice bedrooms. Kitchen was equipped well. We were able to use the dock with a boat we rented for several days. Was easy to get up and down the dock. We would recommend this location for others and would return for another visit.

A wonderful stay at the lake

Truly wonderful and serene! The views are amazing and the home is beautifully decorated (wow, the beds are so comfortable!). Our family loved swimming off the dock as well as in the pool and playing games while the sun went down. Cooking in the kitchen with the views was wonderful. We would highly recommend staying at Mandolin Rain. We hope to visit again soon!

Had a blast on Smith Lake

This property was perfect, comfortable for the entire family, quiet for our grandson’s naps and an easy walk to and from the dock. When we needed to ask a couple questions the responses were fast. The pool provided a nice break from lake activities. We definitely plan on returning.

Weekend Getaway

I met up with my friends from college and their families at this amazing house. Everyone (kids included) unplugged and relaxed, just enjoying the simplicity that lake life offers. Having 4 king beds + a bunk room was a rare find. Core memories were made in this awesome lake home 😊

Absolutely beautiful home and location!

We stayed here for fall break and had a wonderful time! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The owner let us know we should probably bring any groceries we wanted because it is a little secluded so that was helpful. Every room in the home has a gorgeous view of the lake and the deck level of the home with the master bedroom was perfect for grandparents. Our kids loved kayaking, paddle boarding and playing on the Lilly pad and staying in the adorable bunk room! We hope to stay here again and would highly recommend it to families!!!

Wonderful lake house!

This is my families second time to stay for fall break at this beautiful well appointed lake house! We love the decor, comfy beds, entertaining space inside and outside. The neighborhood is quiet and secluded and we feel safe letting our kids walk around and explore with other kids staying in the community. Boathouse has Lilly pad, kayaks, paddle boards and plenty of chairs for sunning, relaxing and fishing! We hope to return again next year!

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Location
The amenities and the house itself were quite suitable for our stay. The directions to the house could be improved by giving more specifics (there is no sign marking the clubhouse so maybe refer to it as the building to the right/left of the gate). The house needs repairs such as the holes at the bottom of the doors and the upstairs shower (on the kitchen end) only has a trickle of water. The windows were covered in leaves and spider webs.
Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 2 December 2025
I’m glad the amenities and home were suitable for your stay. The clubhouse is first building you see pulling into gate, flow of traffic is left. It stabs alone with pool in view. Will check with HOA about getting a clearer marked arrow as to which way to turn to homes. Also, HOA maintains leaves. Our neighborhood is so beautifully tucked away, lots of beautiful trees… just hard to rid of them fully on a daily basis. Spiders! Yes, our home is maintained by pest service. They came Monday after your stay to sweep webs. This is the worst review we have received in over three years since purchasing. I do hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving.
