It was clean and had the amenities to make our stay effortless. The owner is a 5 star plus renter. He addressed every question we had with promptness and efficiency. My family highly recommends this lovely house for your Smith Lake vacation. ##### Brenda R.

We have tried others, but this one is the best. Beautiful lot on a point with views of the lake on 3 sides. Very nice dock and my grandsons found good fishing from the rocks at waters edge. House was stocked with everything we could need and immaculately kept. 3 times now and it s better every time. Loved the new big tv! ##### Marian N.

Awesome, only complaint at all is air conditioning, thermostat kept resetting to eco mode even after several discussions about this, so both nights we came back to a hot house. Something that could easily be fixed. Other than that highly recommended!!! Great home an dock, great for swimming!! ##### Michael C. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dr Tom/Marian N. 27 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful fall trip I can summarize in a few words. “If we could own a lake house, it would be this one “! The point location on the lake was a perfect spot-beautiful sunsets. Boys roamed all over, climbing rocks and exploring. Water was cold but they jumped off the great dock anyway Easy walk to lake with gradual steps for those with difficulty with steps. Enjoyed fires at beautiful fireplace inside every night and fire pit too. We’re definitely going to be there again 2022 ##### Dr Tom/Marian N. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caryn S. 25 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great time at Lake Smith House is very nice and very well maintained. It sits beautifully on a quiet part of the lake and has great views from the house. Great fire pit area and the two tier dock is a big hit for kids that want to jump from the top deck. The ability to rent the pontoon boat from the homeowner is a huge bonus! Lake Smith is a beautiful lake but know that it is a good 25-30 min. from a grocery store so come with all of your supplies. The Homeowner was very prompt with responses and everything is well stocked at the house. We wish Lake Smith was closer to Atlanta because it would be a great place to have a second home. ##### Caryn S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer L. 29 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfection Everything about this house is perfection. Location, cleanliness, grounds, boat and dock, well equipped kitchen, great host… I could go on with many other positives. This is an absolutely stunning and well appointed home. We will be back!! ##### Jennifer L. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kay H., Mountain Brook 19 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### R & R Haven This stay was fabulous. This home is ver comfortable and the location on the water is fantastic. It is so quiet and lovely. The outdoor options for taking in the peacefulness are the best, the fire pit area, the new boat dock with awesome stairs, and the porch with large swing! The house is equipped with everything you need to enjoy cooking for a big group. We were told by others it is the best spot to fish on the lake! It is also a great place to get out and walk or just to just lay back and take a nap! We had a wonderful time! ##### Kay H.

The house was perfect for our family. However, when we jumped off the dock to swim our first full day, we were unable to get back up on the dock. The dock was giving off an electrical shock. It was a terrifying experience. We were told to use the rock ledge to swim. However, it was slippery and we were not comfortable doing so. We resorted to taking the boat out when we wanted to swim. Would love to revisit this property if an electrician can correct the shock issue on the dock. ##### Cynthia W. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug R., Gilbert 21 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Another great stay at Smith Lake! My family of 4 visited the 2nd week of June 2022. Communications from the owner were quick and accurate from my initial planning, all the way through check-out. The home is clean, the property well maintained, and kitchen is fully stocked. For us, the best part was the dock! The kids had a blast jumping from the second deck, and we all enjoyed star gazing at night. We also rented the pontoon and tube for a day from the owner...again, no issues, easy interactions. If you are hesitating on this property, don't! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and cant wait for next summer! -The Rogers ##### Doug R.
