This property is one-of-a-kind! Absolutely, one of the most gorgeous places we’ve stayed. Had an intimate wedding here for a party of 22. The house is super spacious with breathtaking views. Everyone we worked with, especially Shelly, were all so kind and accommodating. Memories that will last a lifetime!!
This house and location could not have been better. This property is so unbelievably gorgeous. We will always remember this house and hopefully be able to stay again in the future.
Smith Lake is beautiful and staying at this gorgeous house made it so much better! The glass house is perfect for a large family or for a group of friends. The "hard-to-please" teenagers are looking forward to a repeat next year! Definitively recommend this property!
Even with the spring rains, all 3 generations enjoyed the awesome beauty surrounding the glass house. This amazing home has multiple gathering spots for quiet reflection, conversations, and for fun and games. Peter is is a responsive host, we couldn’t ask for more.
Love this house, some very small detail could be addressed, only 2 champagne glasses, only 1 hair dryer. I would recommend this house, I'm sure if I asked the host he would get us anything we needed. They were great and the house was wonderful.
The property was as described and had gorgeous views and outdoor areas! The location on the lake was ideal for boating and swimming! The property was great, but the service was even better! The owner and manager were unbelievably accommodating and a pleasure to coordinate with. We couldn't have asked for a nicer venue for our 4th of July family lake trip!
Absolutely no regrets renting this property. Everything about this place is incredible. Peter is great to work with. For a special occasion involving a large group, this is the spot.
The property was absolutely amazing. We had plenty of room for our family and everything we needed to prepare our meals and enjoy our stay. The owner responded very quickly to any questions or concerns I had. I would recommend this property to anyone and we would not hesitate to return in the future.
Amazing house, incredible views and a very easy owner to work with. 5 stars!

Amazing views, beautiful home. A true vacation getaway.
Our family celebrated our parents 50th wedding anniversary at the Glass House. The house is perfect. Their were 12 of us and there was more then enough space. Whether you are outside on the large comfortable porch, by the fire pit or Cooking in the kitchen you feel like you are right on the lake. Views are amazing from every direction. We rented a boat and took the kids tubing, on a rope swing and jumped off cliffs. We also spent a good bit of time swimming off the dock. The house has everything you need for a relaxing and fun vacation. Smith Lake is a beautiful lake. We could not get over how big the lake is or the clean clear water. We would not hesitate to visit the Glass House again!
