We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home on Smith Lake. The home had everything we needed for meal prep etc and lots of space for family to spend time together. The view was amazing and the dock was wonderful. We rented a pontoon boat for the weekend and it was really easy to get to and from the marina. We would absolutely stay at this home again.
This home is beautiful and so inviting! We had our annual girls get-a-way weekend last weekend. We've stayed in a lot of VRBO's and this one is definitely at the top of the list.
Booking was easy, communication A+, very clean, so cozy, beautiful views, easy access to their dock and plenty of lake amenities. We'll be back next summer!
An absolutely wonderful stay! My friends (10 adults) go on a Smith Lake trip every year and we FINALLY found the house we’re gonna go back to year after year!! Had everything we needed, great comfy beds, plenty of communal space. We loved that there were many options for spaces to hang out around the house.
The hosts and property managers were incredibly responsive and helpful.
The dock was awesome and well stocked with toys. We also appreciated that the lot was flat and didn’t have to go down a million stairs to the water. Also the dock is just enough off the main water way that swimming felt more calm and safe!
Lastly, the karaoke machine was an ABSOLUTE hit with my friends.
The house feels like a 'home' instead of a 'rental'. The property is so quiet, even with neighbors. The drive was easy and plenty of parking. A lot of lake houses have steep driveways and even steeper walks to the water. This house has a long, smooth driveway and an almost flat walk to the dock/water. Everything in the house is well built. Decorated very nicely. Large kitchen so was easy to cook for the family. Outdoor dining table is special- what a view at dinner! The Karaoke was a hit. My kids brought their gaming systems along and plugged into the 'game area' TV for fun at night. The third story balcony is great for star-gazing!! Would come back even in the winter!
Property is beautiful, perfect location and includes a limitless list of items you need or forgot. The dock included boat lifts, an inner tube, life jackets, 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, a water mat and table and chairs. Dock is in the edge of a cove so you are not out in the middle of the lake getting blasted by boat waves so the kids can swim around the deck and parents can relax watching them. We used Duncan Bridge Marina to launch our boat as suggested by owners and it was a short 5 minute or so boat ride to home. Three levels of porches to sit out and look over the water. Kids really enjoyed the game room. I definitely recommend this home for a getaway with family and kids.
All aspects of this property are ideal. The location relative to Jasper/Curry/Arley, as well as the location relative to big water on the lake. Home is well cared for, very functional, and includes everything you need, and some things you may have forgotten, like beach towels, etc. The view and outdoor spaces are amazing. The dock is well above average, including lifts for vbottom and pontoons, as well as a seadoo lift, plus a nice sized swim platform extension, all nestled in a spot that isn't directly exposed to big wake, so your toys aren't bouncing around should they not be on one of the lifts. We keep our boats on the lake in dry storage, but if you trailer a boat in, Duncan Bridge Marina is very close, offering launch, and fuel services. The property has everything the descriptions states, plus a lot of charm and appeal that's hard to convey in words. Take comfort in planning your trip at this home. Last point, the home is in excellent condition, and I suspect it will stay that way, so if you are looking for a place to host a keg/loud party, keep looking. We had a great Thursday-Sunday with family and small kids and will be going back. It's worth every penny.
