Fantastic location! We LOVED it and the deck and dock are amazing.
Thank you so much for your quick review! We appreciate your helpful feedback and we will communicate it to the owner. We hope that you will come back soon and stay with us!
An amazing stay at Smith Lake! The house had everything we (8 adults 5 kids) needed and more. Breathtaking views from the deck and dock. We saw over 12 shooting stars one night! Boat traffic was a little high and the dock rocking takes a little getting use to, but worth it. Water was amazing to get into. Available kayak and paddle board was a plus.
Thank you for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed the amenities this house offers. We would love to host you again soon!
We will be Back!!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay and the house was perfect. Definitely great for multiple families or someone with a large family. We had 2 families with 8 kids (teens & littles). We housed all the kids downstairs, so they had their own little area. We relaxed, cooked and played in the water every day. The property was clean and well maintained. The water was clear, and we loved our scenic views from the porch every morning & evening. It was a perfect getaway to recharge before the school years starts back.
Perfect location! We loved our stay here.
Pure Tranquility
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful view pure bliss !! If you are looking for pure relaxation this is it. Breath taking sunsets, and even if you get rained out the afternoon thunderstorms rolling in are perfect from the porch it is sooo relaxing. It’s not to many steps from the house to the 2stry dock and sun tanning on the upper deck is perfect 🤩. Loving the kyacking , fishing , stand up paddle boarding , and even rented a pontoon for 2 days. We fished every day morning and night but apparently the fish don’t bite in the summer like they do the spring, but nevertheless This lake house is truly a BLESSING !!!!
Overall… wonderful stay, beautiful location, incredible views! Great space. <br/>Had an issue, reported it via messenger (how we had been communicating), didn’t expect anyone to come out physically, but did expect acknowledgment of message/issue. <br/>Trusting host/owners addressed immediately. <br/>Limited paper towel and TP supply (not a “stock” as listed), recommend taking your own supply because the nearest store is not near.. <br/>We put a couple kids on the provided air mattress, which deflated before morning, but kids didn’t seem to mind too much - but just FYI if you plan to use. <br/>Lake access and deck on lake is huge and would be great for summers. It was chilly when we were there but kids still jumped in the water! <br/>Fire pit was great for the cold nights! Gas grill came in handy with all the food we cooked for Thanksgiving. <br/>I would consider staying here again…
Our family had a wonderful time at this location. Everything was exactly as described. We hope to visit this home again soon.
Peaceful and serene. A great location to reset.
We enjoyed our stay, great location, our grandsons enjoyed the diving board, beautiful scenery!!
Great house, great location great time
We have vacationed at Smith Lake several times, primarily on either the central or Eastern fork. This was the first time we had stayed West of Dunkin Bridge. We found it as nice as the other places, and a bit less trafficed. The house was wonderful. We had three families stay and had plenty of room. The accommodations were very good, the house very clean and the amenities what we expect. We would definitely come back.
