Serene lake views, beautiful clean water and a quiet private neighborhood.

Our family had a great time in this remote gorgeous spot on the lake. In the morning we had our coffee overlooking the tranquil glass like lake (except on the weekend), in the afternoon we went swimming in the exceptionally clean water and reflection

Family Lake Weekend

We took our grown kids and grandkids for the weekend. Even though it rained the entire weekend and we weren’t able to be on the water, it was absolutely a beautiful place and we had a great time. Plenty of room for a big family.

Thanksgiving 2024

An absolutely beautiful and pet place to stay. Of all the places we have stayed this one was the most well stocked of all. The kitchen was as stocked as mine from home with all the extras like foil, Salt/pepper, coffee filters and even a high chair. All bathrooms had tons of towels and extra toilet paper 😃. We are already talking about returning 💛

Decked Out was indeed fully decked out. The downstairs game room and television area had all we needed to enjoy our lake stay. With the occasion weather passing through the family enjoyed the Air Hockey and Pool Table as well as the Big Screen TV. The easy walkout to the dock was a real blessing for us older folks. The kids loved the jump from the upper deck and the location is really great. Duncan Bridge and Duskin Point Marina are close and convenient for boat rentals. We use Duskin Point but there are some rentals at Duncan Bridge too. You can't go wrong with Decked Out. Communication with the owner was quick and efficient, we really appreciated that.

Couldn’t be better

We’ve stayed in five properties on Smith Lake. This is our family’s unanimous best. On a super nice part of the lake- tucked back just enough and an all natural shoreline across the lake- no houses or docks. The house is fully equipped; there was nothing we needed that wasn’t there. The decks are fantastic. We love the double decker dock and all the “toys” provided, both in the house and for the water. Just a wonderful five-star experience! We’ll be back next summer for sure! A great place!

We found Decked Out just as described on VRBO. It is a gorgeous home with beautiful views of the lake. We enjoyed the deck space and the fire pit area. Plenty of space in the home. The teenagers and adults loved the game room area. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and dishes and the beds were very comfortable. Great place to stay with family and friends.

Great property for family

This lake house is awesome in all ways for your family. Quiet, clean, fun and the host was available for any questions we had. The double deck dock was a hit with the kids as well as the paddle boards provided. Lots of life vests of all sizes also provided. I will stay here every time I visit Smith Lake.
