Beautiful Lake Stay

We loved our time here. The house was beautiful and lots of space for our party. The dock was a hike but much easier than some we saw on the lake!!! Lots of room for our party if 9!

Great Stay for Big Group

Great stay. House was clean and new. It had three levels to break up families staying together easier. Wonderful lake with life jackets, floaties, and such provided. The temperature was hard to regulate. It was too warm on the 3rd floor and freezing on the bottom. Even with 2 units, it was hard to get everyone comfortable at once. The gravel road to get there and the driveway was extremely steep and super intimidating. Five cars made it with no issues, but I wouldn’t let an inexperienced driver do it.

Wonderful stay!

I hosted a retreat for pastors’ wives here. We had a wonderful time. The home is so great for a large group. There is so much space and the setting is beautiful. The driveway is a challenge but it’s manageable going slow and steady. Five cars can park down by the house, if parked strategically, and others can park at the top of the driveway. Daniel was a perfect host. He was so very gracious to us and responded very quickly to any needs. I would definitely stay here again.

Family Gathering

The main things that drew us to this location was the number of people that it accommodates in bedrooms and access to the lake. The house is well supplied. It is a beautiful location to just enjoy being together with family. As noted by others, the biggest drawback is access to the house.

Perfect family house!

My family and siblings, along with their families, stayed here while we were in the area for our brothers wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a better set up. The kitchen was stocked extremely well, and there was plenty of space for all of us. The views and boat house were amazing. We’d definitely stay here, if in the area again.

Great House for Large Groups!

We had a great time at Daniel's lake house. The house is huge, with ample room for large groups due to the living room/common area/tv on each of the 3 floors - this was really great during our college football season visit. The week we arrived, new Fiber internet had been installed so in spite of the lack of cell service, everyone was able to stay connected. The driveway is steep, as others have noted, but taking it slow is the way to go. Can't wait to be back next year.

Excellent Accommodations

This was one of the most enjoyable places I have ever stayed. The only slight minus (that I know the owner has no control over) is spotty internet service. Perhaps boosters or enhancers placed in each of the three floors of the house for the internet may help that. But I am no geek squad kind of guy - so that may not work. At any rate, waht a great place for a fmaily gathering!!!!

TP3 Vacation

We had a wonderful time. It was everything we wanted for our vacation. We love that it was in a no wake zone with plenty of water toys to play with. We did a lot of cooking for our big family. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils. The only bad thing was the lack of Internet and phone service. However, for those of us who did not have job responsibilities to check on, the lack of service was great. We had some wonderful conversations!

Great home on lake!

We had 17 immediate family for our annual Smith Lake vacay. We had an amazing time here. All 3 levels of home stay nice and cool(always an issue with previous multi level homes we have rented). Plenty of water toys to enjoy on the large dock. We had everything we needed and recommend this home to larger families looking for a great get away on Smith Lake. It was a short boat ride to the open channel where we do much fun tubing and sight seeing. The driveway is challenging however we managed just fine with caution and taking it slow. The owner provided detailed directions and we were able to find the home just fine. We will definitely stay here again!!

Beautiful property, perfect for larger groups

The house is beautiful, in an amazing spot right on the lake. Only issue we had was the road getting there and the steep driveway, both not big issues. Very nice dock with recreational equipment. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend bro anyone.

Couples Weekend

We had a great weekend! The house was perfect for our group! Everything was just as described. We like the quiet area of the lake that it was on. The road in and the driveway were a little scary, but that in no way hindered our feelings about the property or the owner.

HS. Senior Girls and parents weekend.

Great house for our group. 12 Senior Girls and 3 sets of parents. House was amazing and so roomy. Jumping Rock, Dock and outdoor areas were more than advertised. Easy in/out procedures. Steep Driveway but manageable. Daniel was quick to answer all questions. Thanks Pittmans, you have a special place.

Amazing lake house

This is our third visit to this property and we LOVE IT! The house is gorgeous and has all that we need to enjoy a weekend with friends. The gravel road and driveway were a little tough to navigate after a hard rain, but the accommodations more than made up for it. The owners are easy to contact and very responsive. Cannot recommend the property enough!
