Truly exceptional in every way! Clean and beautifully decorated, tastefully equipped kitchen and coffee bar - we had more than we needed in amenities! Kids and adults were overjoyed with all the games, paddle boards, kayaks, and sooo much gathering space, as well as many cozy outdoor areas. Sleep was like being hugged by a cloud with comfy beds and we found the layout perfect for our family that includes three adult couples and 8 grand children. We had more than enough room. Love this little cove and will be back!!!

I hosted a murder mystery themed birthday party here and it was literally perfect. I do not have one single complaint. Everything was clean, stocked and so cozy. We had everything we could ever need, the house is absolutely beautiful, every single room was perfectly decorated and curated. The beds were cozy, there was a lot of activities to do, plenty of space, it could not have been better. The host was extremely responsive and thoughtful and answered all questions we had in a timely manner. It was perfect and we will definitely be back every time we need to have an event or just stay at a beautiful house on the lake. 10/10 book your stay!

We have stayed at many places on Smith Lake and this is now our favorite. It had everything we needed to have a relaxing week and it was a great quiet location. The kids had fun inside and outside. Tonya was quick to respond to any needs we had. Hope to stay here again in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at this lake house! The view was beautiful, and we loved being on a quiet cove. The layout of the house worked so well for our large group, giving everyone plenty of space. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals throughout the week.We also really appreciated being able to rent the owners’ boat and use the paddle boards, which made our trip even more enjoyable. The outdoor spaces were one of our favorite parts of the property, and the party speakers were a fun bonus for hanging out together.Tonya was an excellent host—very responsive, accommodating, and flexible with both check-in and check-out, which we truly appreciated. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely stay here again!
