Thistle Brae at Smith Lake

Cynthia July 14, 2025

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I usually go to the beach every summer but decided to try Smith Lake this year. We had a wonderful time. It was kind of like the beach but without the sand. We took our pontoon so that we could enjoy other areas of the lake, but I think my grands enjoyed the swimming pier the most. The property was clean and had everything we needed. Andrea was very helpful on the day we arrived when we were having trouble getting into the rental. The room in the basement could use some extra air conditioning, it wasn't as cool as the other parts of the house. There's a lot of steps down and up to the swim pier, but it was so worth it. We took all of our food and cooked all of our meals there.My family enjoyed this trip, and we hope to visit again next summer.
