Idle Days was Perfect
Idle Days covered all the bases. It is located in Arley with easy access to a grocery store and a few restaurants. Duskin Point Marina is about ten minutes away by boat and is where we rented ours, making a day on the lake very convenient to our home and gas. Our home was very clean and incredibly well stocked. Sleeping arrangements were ideal for our family of eight adults and three grandchildren. We enjoyed a beautiful water view, slip for our boat and plenty of water toys, Lily Pad and life jackets. Idle Days is highly recommended. We’ll be back!

Celebrated Dad's 70th Birthday by the Lake
My family of 11 traveled from two states to celebrate our dad's 70th birthday. We had all of the family (from age 3 months to 70 years old) in one house, eating all meals and spending time fishing from the dock behind the house. We had all of the things we could possibly need within the house and more. It was well stocked and really clean. The host was really responsive to any of the things we needed and was a joy to work with for the rental process. We would definitely stay there again if we had a chance.

Great Get-a-way for family with small children
Grandparents & 3 families with small children under 4 years old. The family enjoyed the beautiful setting and the grandkids loved the swim pad along with their dads especially. All kids that went into the water had life jackets and had had swim lessons. The best memories for a bunch of cousins and the family. We have been before and we'll plan to return in the future!

Great place, super nice.
This was a great place to stay. This house and manager/owner has been our favorite place we have stayed at on smith lake. The dock was amazing easy to get into and plenty of room for our 23’ boat. House was well stocked and floor plan was amazing as every bedroom had it own bathroom. Don’t hesitate to stay here.

Great Family Get Together
The house was great and the owners had provided just about everything one would want at the lake. Kayaks, beach towels, life jackets, deck chairs, screened porch, and much more. And the kitchen was stocked better than any I've encountered on our vacation stays. Would definitely stay again.

A good time was had by all.
We booked this trips as a bonding trip for 3 families, and could not have been happier with our stay. Tracey was an excellent host. She provided all the information ahead of time and was very accommodating. There was a slight maintenance issue that was handled efficiently with lots of communication. The house was stocked with everything we needed, and we did a good bit of cooking inside and on the grill. The kayaks and water mat were such a fun bonus the kids. The deck was fantastic for lazing around. So many spots to enjoy. We have already booked a stay with her again in August. We can’t wait to be back.

Generous amenities and excellent gathering space.
This was a ladies’ weekend stay and the house provided an excellent centralized gathering space along with amenities galore! Plenty of towels, board games, pots, pans, blankets, pillows! You name it, the house has it. While the gathering spaces are lovely, there is also plenty of space for escaping the group and having quiet alone time.

Family Gathering
Our family of 9 needed a quiet getaway to relax and enjoy family time. Idle Days was the perfect place. The home was beautiful and spacious with lots of space to either get together or retreat away for some quiet time. The kitchen was by far one of the best stocked we’ve ever seen. Tracey was always available to answer any questions and offer any pointers. I highly recommend this beautiful getaway.

Ex weekend with friends
This property did not disappoint. It is as beautiful in person as it is in the pics. We have never stayed in a property that had as many amenities as this one. The kitchen is very well stocked and if you forget a spice or any kitchen essentials no problem cause Tracey has it covered. The beds were very comfy. The view of the lake is stunning, and we had our morning coffee out on the deck. We loved the boat dock; our guys fished and enjoyed the Kayaks every day. Tracey was very attentive and helped with anything needed. We will most definitely stay here again. If a relaxing, worry free Vaca is what you are looking for then look no further. I give this property and its owners 5 stars.

This house was PERFECTION! From the very well stocked kitchen, to the super comfy beds, we couldn't have asked for a more fabulous place to relax & unwind. The view was gorgeous, and the icing on the amazing vacation cake was Tracey, the owner! She was lightning fast in her response time to any questions we had, and made us feel very welcome.
