This house was the perfect place for our group. Close to the water with an easy walk to the dock and not one but two living spaces made our trip perfect! They sent a handyman right out with a minor issue with the stove and communication was very easy. Would highly recommend this place!
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear the home was a great fit for your group and that you enjoyed the easy access to the water and the extra living space. We also appreciate your understanding with the minor stove issue—glad we could get that resolved quickly. It means a lot to hear communication was smooth and that you’d recommend staying with us. We’d love to host you again anytime!
Beautiful house
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 had an amazing stay at Smith lake house! The home was beautiful, clean, and very well maintained. The views of the lake were absolutely stunning. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay, from a fully equipped kitchen to cozy bedrooms and plenty of space for everyone. The location was quiet yet convenient, and the host was friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with.
Our stay was absolutely fantastic! Beautiful home! Quiet neighborhood. Every room on every level was clean and spacious for our big group, and had everything we needed. Some were enjoying the fireplace while others enjoyed the lake view. We would highly recommend it.

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: Great property with ample space for families with their own privacy/solitude within. The only minor shortcoming was there were items not available; tea towels, vacuum, scissors; only small items that probably just haven't been replaced/reported. Freezer on 2d floor did not freeze, only cooled and fridge handle on 2d floor was loose.
This place is awesome! Especially for multiple families or couples. The pictures do not do it justice - way bigger and roomier than the listing shows. Each bedroom has a king bed with an en-suite bathroom PLUS a bunk room with 4 bunk beds and its own bathroom. There are couches and daybeds too so a lot of people can stay comfortably. There are also 2 full kitchens and 2 full laundry rooms. The house has a boat dock and is on a beautiful part of the lake. I have nothing bad to say about this rental. We not only would stay there again but have recommended this house to everyone. There were fresh flowers in both kitchens when we arrived which made for a very welcoming entrance

Reunion.
It was great !
We rented this home for our family's Thanksgiving 2023. It was more than we imagined and more than advertised. The home is so well maintained, clean, and very comfortable. It is set up to accommodate large groups and allows everyone to maintain privacy. It has lots of common areas for socializing. This area of Smith Lake, where the house resides, is so very beautiful. The yard is very nice, clean, and safe. The outdoor areas are pristine and accommodating. The home has two large kitchens, two large living rooms, other common areas to gather with awesome bedrooms that all appear to be master bedrooms. I would highly recommend this home to anyone.
A great place for large families
We really enjoyed our stay
