The house & lake are beautiful & had everything we needed for an extended weekend! The grounds were unkept & need work. There is a wonderful sandbar on the side of the home but it is almost unreachable due to overgrown bushes. All in all it is a beautiful lake home!
Beautiful home, beautiful view!
My extended family shared this home for Christmas and absolutely loved it. There is plenty of room for large groups to spread out and the common areas are also large enough for everyone to congregate together.
Wonderful Stay
My family and I had a wonderful time in this home on Thanksgiving 2019 weekend. Plenty of room for everyone, great Smith Lake views, and an awesome level back yard. The ice maker downstairs is currently not operable, but we made it fine without it. Convenient to pontoon rentals! Would love to come back for another stay! The Ward Family
Beautiful home will be back soon

Thank you for your 5 star review and the positive comments on the property...it is a great lake house. I apologize for any cleaning issues. We pride ourselves on the cleaning and have addressed the issues reported.
Great for water fun
Nice house. Lots of room. Clean. Secluded feel to its location. Great water front for viewing the lake, swimming and boating. Family get-together that everyone enjoyed. House did have a few maintenance issues like no hot water in the master shower and no power down at the dock area but issues were fairly minor.
Loved it, but Too short
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. This transaction was very smooth. The house was big and spacious. There was plenty of space for our family. We LOVED the lake. We only wish that we had more time. We were only there to attend a wedding that Saturday. Andrea was Wonderful. Thank You so much for all of your help.
Amazing Home with Incredible location
We stayed in this home for a week with my extended family. Everyone loved it! The house was amazing! It was immaculate & wonderfully decorated. Better than the photos!! The location is spectacular. The home sits on the point of the lake so very secluded & private. I would HIGHLY recommend this home for your next vacation or event.
Family Reunion
We had a great time. We could not have asked for better weather all weekend. The house is exactly like in the pictures. There was plenty of room and more for our 12 adults and 7 children, ages 18 months to 68 years old. The yard to perfect for the children to play. The decks and outside steps are great for lake watching. The 2 upstairs bedrooms have their own balcony and waking up to the view of the lake was wonderful. We will be back next year.
