We enjoyed our stay at this house. The view is beautiful and we enjoyed the comfortable deck furniture and dock. It was very clean. The game room and theater were big hits! It would be nice to have a pantry or shelving in the kitchen. Storing food on the counter takes up cooking space. Overall we had a great time and made wonderful family memories!

Excellent location and accommodations. We rented a pontoon boat right across the lake and enjoyed swimming and touring the lake. When we weren’t on the water we also enjoyed the game room. Thank you for allowing dogs. She had as much fun as we did!

We loved staying at this property. Beautiful location of the lake and beautiful home. The only thing we would have enjoyed more is having the bath (master) closer to the master bedroom room and there was a vent in the master bedroom. Other than that, we wish our stay would have been longer.

Great place to stay

Quiet house and neighborhood. The hot tub was a plus. We enjoyed it greatly! The sun sets directly across the lake so it is so nice to sit on the back porch (with plenty of seating!) and watch it go down. Downstairs, there is a pool table, foosball table, ping pong table and an arcade game. We enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again if we find ourselves back at Smith Lake!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. We were impressed with how well stocked the house was, the amenities it had to offer, and location. Cons- We had an issue with the fridge working upon arrival and a maintenance tech had to come out, cleanliness could have been better, and not having a floater dock made it hard to get into the water with small children

Great place for a long weekend getaway with another couple. The downstairs did get a lot colder than the upstairs, but it didn’t bother us. Beautiful views of the lake from the deck and hot tub, fire pit was nice for the evenings and the walk to the dock wasn’t as bad as we thought! Loved having the game room for hanging out inside.
