The house was very clean. Kitchen had all essentials. Host was very responsive and helpful. There are lots of steps to get down to the lake but it makes for a great work out and the fishing was excellent!! Perfect quiet spot for a relaxing get away for the weekend. We really enjoyed our stay!

We loved our stay! The house was clean and stocked with plenty of kitchen supplies, towels, and bedding, even some firewood, and absolutely ready for a family to enjoy. The view from the family room is stunning and there is plenty of outdoor patio/deck to enjoy the views too. Parking was very easy. 125 steps to the water but they are in good condition and with the kayaks ready on the dock, we just planned to make minimal trips. The water is peaceful and quiet, perfect for getting out on the water. We got to communicate with the host as the weather turned out unexpectedly cold, and it is clear they are passionate about their property and guests. Thank you for a wonderful time!

The house was just as listed. The kitchen has recently been updated and is very nice. Plenty of room for our group. The stairs down to the dock are a bit daunting but we had teenagers and young kids with us so it was very manageable for them. They loved using the kayaks, swimming and fishing. Tara and Brandon you have a beautiful place!!

The property was beautiful and upgrades were very nice. Loved the open living room, gorgeous kitchen and view. The 1.5 ft step up in the shower upstairs was daunting and the steps up for both showers made it difficult for older parents and children. The stairs being step, short, and different heights is also interesting.Having mixing bowls would add a nice touch. It was thoughtful to provide extra towels. We appreciated quick communication and excellent service.

Beautiful cabin like home with some fun decorations, every amenity was provided for, including multiple beach towels, every kitchen utensil you can imagine, sundries, amazing kitchen. Tv’s abound, the views are amazing. Quiet location on the lake. The boat area was very nice, would have loved to fish but was here for a death in the family and needed a fast place to stay. The host was quick to respond and very accommodating to my waffling about extending to stay near family and then rescinding to go home to Virginia to take my son to college. The whole thing was so unexpectedly pleasant during a horrible time. P.S. My mother ( who lives nearby in Crane Hill) was so impressed when she saw it she is going to have her out of town relatives book this when they come visit. She is very much a southern belle and picky so that is a huge endorsement. ( in my humble opinion) Cannot thank the hosts again for being so patient and helpful with me. Will be back soon!

Overall we enjoyed our stay and the owners were very quick to respond and super nice but there are a few important things to note:1.The main floor bedroom (master) has no air flow/vents. The room gets extremely hot if the door is closed and the matteress is extra firm.2. The stairs inside leading to the upstair rooms are very dangerous. They vary in size and height. Owner should consider putting yellow tape on the edges.3. The grill does not work. The propane was full but only one burner ignites and very low at that. Was unable to cook on it.4. All family members had a hard time finding the hidden driveway including us. The place doesn't map well.5. There are over 100 stairs leading to the dock, if you are not young/in shape, you will have a very hard time going back and forth.6. The deck railing is not up to code. Very dangerous for little ones and pets.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 October 2025
While I appreciate you leaving a review, we were very clear that this was a new home for us and that we are working to improve. We did everything we could to accommodate you, giving you the entire home for less than a cheap hotel and gave you 4 free kayaks. It would have been appreciated getting this in a private message so that we could address instead of posting it publicly, as we cannot fix what we don’t know about. Smith Lake has very few properties with no steps. We have had no complaints about directions and it is very easy for MOST people to find. We do not advertise to be handicap accessible and there are no codes in the county btw. Our home was recently inspected prior to purchase and they did not recommend any repairs or upgrades to the stairs or the home. We just checked the grill. It works great. Could be user error? We have a new AC unit ordered for the master, and we disclosed that you will need to open that door. All in all, you got a fantastic home with free kayaks and you post this? Thanks Karen 👍

Lovely cabin on the water for our family trip! Even though it rained quite a bit, the cabin was perfect for supporting all of our lake and indoor activities. The large TV/living room was great for the whole family to watch movies at night and nothing better than taking your morning coffee out onto the back porch overlooking the water. We even had a mishap on our side with one of our grandkids and the owners could not have been more kind and accommodating. A perfect long weekend on the lake!
