The Lily Pad - April 2024

We highly recommend "The Lily Pad" for a peaceful getaway! The property is beautiful and accurately described with stunning lake views and amenities like a grill and Solo stove for cozy evenings. The property manager was easy to reach and very helpful. Perfect for a relaxing day - I particularly enjoyed the reclining loungers for afternoon naps by the lake. Bring charcoal for the grill and firewood for the Solo stove and you're all set for a fantastic stay! We are already looking forward to another long weekend at "The Lily Pad!"

Lake Smith Get Away

The big water view was amazing! The drive to the property was a little bit challenging. Step one lane dirt/gravel road. Not a place you want to drive after dark. The rental was beautiful updated with everything you need. The HVAC and instant hot water heater in the primary bath was a bit noisy at night. The LTV floor was gorgeous but unfortunately there were cracks and gouges in a few spots. Walking barefoot is not recommended. Overall nice weekend retreat with breathtaking views.

Inspiring

Lovely home supplied with everything we needed. Great kitchen for cooking together. Perfect spot on the deck swing to have coffee, a drink or simply enjoy the view. The host was exceptionally helpful.
