We loved our stay. There was plenty of room for all 12 of us. We had everything we needed and would definitively stay again. It's one of the properties with the least amount of steps which made getting the kayak to the lake easier

Thank Yall so much for letting us use your home, we had great time including listening to the storms on the patio, and watching the SEC tournament (ROLL TIDE)

Everything the host expressed in the welcome email was accurate and appreciated. The house had more room than we expected. The dock is very nice and it was in a great location to other places on the lake. There are a decent amount of stairs to the dock but expected as this is common for smith lake. I’ve stayed in other locations where the steps to the dock were crazy and you would be exhausted by the time you got to the lake, or back to the house.

Lots of room with a great view of the lake. Cabin is well maintained with lots of extras. We really enjoyed our stay and the owner was friendly and helpful. We have recommended to friends and would definitely stay here again!! Special thanks to Sherry for the help with our left behind clothes!!

This home and place is so special. We loved that every one in our family had a space for themselves to sleep and so many spaces to just sit and be quiet, to fish, to read and relax. Night time camp fires overlooking the water and watching the night sky. The kitchen was fully stocked so that we were able to grill and cook our favorites all day. A great place to get away from it all. Beds were nice and cozy too and host was so quick to answer any questions we had while there. Highly recommend for a family/friends getaway.

Great location on the lake. The dock is awesome and in great shape. Loved the PWC docks. It’s a 25 ish minute drive to a public ramp to launch your own boat or PWC. The house is great, we didn’t need all the space but there are lots of places to sleep. The driveway is steep and if you have a boat trailer it’s going to be a bit of a challenge getting it tucked in at the top of the driveway, but it can be done.
