Pleasant/affordable in forest area

Very quiet. Had all the amenities, but not very cozy. Nice deck with patio furniture, but could not see much of the lake due to high frawns/foliage. Pleasant stay, Smithville a must see!

Wonderful Get-away

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable. We had the best of both worlds with my husband being able to fish on the lake in the morning and evening and me being able to sit on the beach in the afternoon..a short drive away. Joy was super responsive and helpful. We also found lots of great GF food in the area, including a dedicated gluten-free bakery just a few minutes away. We plan to go back.

Alternative to stayijng at pricey AC hotels!

We wanted to go to a concert at Hard Rock but didn't want to pay the prices of the hotels on the boardwalk. I found this gem and will always book here instead of ...there! The house was so private! Very quiet and beautiful scenery. Everyone was super helpful, as we arrived an hour before check in time. There was an agent just passing by and was kind enough to ask if we wanted to hang out in the Club House until check-in. Yes! The only little complaint we have at all, is that there could have been detergent for the dish washer...that's it! Thank you, we'll be back!

Nice quiet vacation

We really enjoyed our anniversary getaway to southern New Jersey. I picked this location as it was central to many of the towns we wanted to visit. The house was adorable, perfect for two people. The kitchen was great and everything was clean. Fireplace worked and the view of the lake was idyllic. Wish I would have known how close the other homes were to each other but we never saw anyone else while we were there. Owners do not restock any paper products after the initial stock so may want to bring paper towels with you. Also couldn’t find wash clothes and had to buy them before eventually finding them in the dryer. Internet connection is very poor but if you’re going to unplug this is great. Not ideal if trying to stream something to watch though. Overall a nice fall getaway.

Perfect, serene cottage right on the lake, offering everything you can possibly imagine in the way of amenities. We were attending a wedding at Renault winery and this was a few miles away. Our cottage was. comfortable. and spotless! We brought our pet. We sat outside on the deck. I went kayaking and we were able to relax the entire time. Highly recommend the lake house at Swan Lake.
