    Here Are a Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

    “We have stayed in many VRBO places, and this has by far been the best experience.”

    “The property was immaculate and the location on the water was perfect for the kids to swim and tube behind the boat.”

    “The cabin was even nicer than the pictures reflect. The owners thought of everything.”


    **BEDROOMS**
    Each bedroom is thoughtfully decorated and furnished with comfortable bedding to ensure you enjoy your stay at Smith Lake. Soft all-cotton sheets with sumptuous blankets, comforters and a selection of pillows (soft and firm) help you to sink into a restful sleep!
    A Smart TV is in the primary bedroom, perfect for those late night movies or early morning news shows.

    **BATHROOMS**
    There are two full bathrooms that are perfect for freshening up after a fun day spent outside. One bathroom is an ensuite located in the primary bedroom. The other bathroom is located in the hallway. Each bathroom is equipped with fluffy towels and two varieties of soap. The primary bathroom has a hair dryer so you don’t have to worry about bringing yours!

    **KITCHEN**
    A true chef’s delight! Stainless steel appliances, quality cookware and bakeware, along with colorful dishes, seemingly endless drinkware and an array of barware offers endless opportunities to create memorable meals. Coffee enthusiasts will appreciate having a choice between a classic French press or a Cuisinart drip coffee maker, along with a selection of delicious syrups, sugar and coffee grounds (in case you forgot yours!). And not to worry tea drinkers – we have you fully covered with a tantalizing selection of quality teas and kettle.

    Like to bake? There is a pantry filled with baking essentials such as flour, sugar, spices and even a bag of chocolate chips to make our favorite chocolate chip cookies (yes, we have the recipe ready for you!).

    **OPEN CONCEPT LIVING/DINING ROOM**
    Whether you are snuggled up on the generous sectional sofa watching your favorite sport or enjoying dinner at our custom wooden dining table, the open concept space allows for ample quality time together.

    Starlink Wifi, a SMART TV, along with a fun selection of games, puzzles and books await you!

    Large upper deck has expansive water views and seating for 10, complete with lighted pergola for those lazy summer evenings. A cozy seating area for 4 is on the opposite side of the deck and is perfect for morning coffee or bird watching.

    Enjoy grilling? We’ve got you covered with a large grill, complete with propane tank and all of the grilling accessories to level up your cooking!

    For those crisp evenings, gather around the fire pit in handmade Adirondack chairs. The fire pit is thoughtfully tucked into the mature landscaping so that it also offers fantastic views of the water. Firewood is included along with skewers for roasting marshmallows.

    The lower deck offers high top seating for 4, along with festive outdoor lighting and great water views.

    The private dock offers an open boat slip (27” length with Hydrohoist boat lift), 3 kayaks, 6 life jackets (in case you forgot yours!) 4 comfortable lounge chairs and a Splash Pad to entertain the kiddos.
