What a special place!

My wife and I had the privilege of staying at this beautiful home. The owners were kind and inviting and showed us around the property. The view of the lake was absolutely breathtaking. We ate meals looking out the window at the scenery. We had our pontoon boat and put it in at Smith Lake Park which was about 3-5mi down the road. We would come back here for sure!

Felt Like Home On The Lake

The property and its owners J&D are amazing. The downstairs apartment was just a 100 feet from the beautiful boat dock. The apartment was quiet with kitchen, family room, two bathrooms, and two bedrooms. For large boat owners, I highly recommend launching at Smith Lake Park, which is a 10 minute boat ride, because the drive into the property is very steep. This is our favorite place to stay on the Smith Lake.

We would stay here again for sure!

We totally enjoyed our stay. You could not ask for more friendly owners. They live there onsite and will answer if you knock if you have any questions. Sweet Couple. the place is beautiful we could use the whole dock with our boat pulled in and 2 jet skis tied to the side. Tons of waterfront to explore. They allowed our dog and we are very thankful for that. The driveway is steep but we did fine in a Truck loading the jet skis. Thanks again.

Beautiful, quiet and secluded

We LOVE this property and will stay again! We did not bring a boat but the property manager let us know several days in advance that if we brought a boat, we would need 4WD to put in the water at the boat ramp. The property is beautiful! The house is spacious and had all utensils we needed. It was very clean! The owners, Jonas and Doris were nice and kind.

Great private lake spot!

We spent a week here and had a blast. The dock was awesome to spend time on and fish. If you do fish be sure to bring a net. Believe me, you’re going to hook some big ones.

Fun times had by all

Friendly owner who was on-site and greeted us right away to make sure we had what we needed. Awesome location on the cove, lots of privacy. Super steep driveway, need to have a car or truck that can climb a very steep hill. We plan on staying again.

All of our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Jonas and Doris were a pleasure to meet. We spent a good bit of time with them and enjoyed every minute. Both of them met us as soon as we got there and let us know that if we had any problems to let them know. Will definitely be going back.

Beautiful, steep for boats, minor issues

We stayed at the property for a fishing tournament. Very convenient for being directly on the lake. The owners are wonderful and my review has nothing negative to say about them. We were towing a boat and the directions given to us by the property manager had us using a very narrow, steep, gravel driveway to access the property. Our vehicle was 4 wheel drive and yet we were sliding! Very scary! There are actually paved driveways we could have used which the owner told us about after we arrived. If you plan on bringing a boat be aware it is very difficult to navigate the space provided as everything is on a very steep incline. Bring chocks for your boat trailer. The house needs some minor upgrades. The oven was cooking well over 50 degrees. We had to throw out one meal. The couch is peeling causing pleather to stick to you and your clothes. It gets everywhere. Hopefully they will replace or cover it. We had to lay blankets over the couch to sit down. The “futon” is not a futon and really only sleeps one. It will tip over if you lay on one side. Maybe ok for small kids. Kitchen utensils are minimum and some need replacing. It could use a deep cleaning. The surface areas were clean but other areas were not. Several of the warm blankets smelled like dogs. Had to wash some before using them. The boat dock electrical outlets are not working. You have to run extension cords up to main pavilion to charge boat. Bring a couple of long ones! The property itself is beautiful! While these things were minor I wouldn’t be opposed to staying here again. Again the owners are precious! These issues were told to property manager so hopefully they will be addressed.

We had a great time over Thanksgiving. The property was beautiful plus we had access to the grounds. My elderly parents stayed with us and the property was well equipped for them. That was a very nice perk.
