The home was not only stunning but also incredibly comfortable and well-equipped, making it easy to relax and settle in from the moment we arrived. Every room was thoughtfully furnished, and the entire space felt welcoming and peaceful.One of the highlights was the pavilion located on the path down to the dock. It quickly became our favorite spot to unwind in the evenings with a drink in hand, watching the sun set over the water—it was absolutely breathtaking. The dock itself was perfect for swimming, fishing, or just enjoying the lake views.Everything about the property was accommodating, from the layout to the amenities, and you can tell the owners have put a lot of care into making it feel like a true home away from home.

The views are exceptional, the kitchen has everything you’ll ever need and then some, the beds are comfortable, the house is quiet, and you could eat off the floors it’s so clean. We were welcomed and made comfortable before, during and even after we left. Ten star service in a ten star house. We look forward to the next visit. Thank you to Bob, Karen and Monique for everything. ##### Amy J. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael G.

The accommodations were perfect. All of the bedrooms were spacious with very comfortable beds. Fabulous updated kitchen. Robert, the owner made sure we had everything we needed at the house. He checked in with us a couple times during our stay to make sure everything was as promised. The property manager Monique, was fabulous. She was quick to respond to any questions we had and did anything she could to make sure our stay was enjoyable as possible. We would definitely consider staying at Clear Water Shores again. ##### Michael G. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel F.

Can't say enough about the views from this house, all three floors have great views. the house was decorated for Christmas, which was greatly appreciated, and the kitchen was fully stocked for us to create our Christmas dinner. Rooms were large, beds were comfortable and there were sufficient bathrooms in the house. The house was exceptionally clean. 5 star property in every way! ##### Daniel F.

The property is stunning and has every amenity you need for little piece of paradise. Beautiful scenary, immaculate condition, upgraded to the latest and greatest interior and exterior designs. Super clean and super fun! Very close to Stoney Lonesome Offroad park. However, what made this destination special were the owners, the Ekman's and the property manage Monique. The nicest most accommodating hosts we have ever worked with in the 18 years we have been booking through VRBO. ##### Max H. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John B.

The house is beautifully furnished and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. There were plenty of games for the kids to play and the arcade was a blast! The views are absolutely incredible from sunrise to sunset. The owners are friendly and were accommodating from the moment we booked the property. They answered any questions and gave recommendations to make our trip even more pleasant. If you’re looking for a place to get away, relax, and enjoy beautiful Smith Lake look no further, Clearwater Shores is the place for you. ##### John B.

The house is clean, beautiful, and well-maintained. Three bedrooms upstairs, master on the main level, and another bedroom in the lower level is a great layout. We had such a great time with the game room. There was so much to do between the arcades, air hockey, pool table, and cornhole. And of course, jumping and swimming off the dock. It was great having the dock to tie up the boat we rented. Our kids did hours and hours of tubing. Smith Lake water is clean and beautiful. We stayed five nights in June, but I think next time we will stay seven. We had such a great time! Looking forward to coming back next summer!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca H.

House is beautiful and so is the property. The kitchen is the best equipped rental I have ever seen. The game room was great for when it was raining but we were outside much of the time. Our grandsons are avid fisherman and had a great time catching and releasing catfish, bass & other species right from the dock. They loved it and are already asking when we will come back. Owner and property manager are great at giving local info and helpful advice. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for all of us. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property to anyone looking to vacation in this area. ##### Rebecca H. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bo E. Oct 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Everything you want to do under one roof The house hosted 6 adult and 4 kids perfectly. For the kids: there is a game room, grass area to play on, and large deck to fish and swim off of. For the adults: game room, mini bar, comfortable living and eating space, multiple decks to relax, 2 firepit areas, and large lakeside deck with coach, bar top table and lounge chairs. We also brought our boat, which was accommodated at the dock on the property. Be prepared for a stair climb as the property is located perfectly on a hillside. We had such a great time there, that the 3 days flew by too fast. BUT the best part of the property was the owner and caretaker giving full attentions and communication on anything we needed and even suggested local activities in the area. Beware of the steep and narrow Drive way and make sure to not bring a boat trailer down the road. Leave it by the mailboxes if you do not want to rent a spot at marina ##### Bo E.

Robert was very eager to answer ANY questions we had, before arrival. The pictures of this house DO NOT do it justice! The whole property is breathtaking. It was very private. There was plenty of room for my wife, me, and my 5 kids. There was enough room where we weren’t tripping over each other. We all had our own spaces. Even though it was cold weather, we still enjoyed our time, inside the house. The kids (and I, hehe) loved the arcade games, pool table, and air hockey. It gave me a chance to teach the kiddos how to play pool. There’s SO much to do outside, as well. My girls and I fished off the dock. There’s numerous places outside to enjoy time together! All you need to bring is the food! The house had EVERYTHING and then some! We had an early Christmas dinner, one night. The dinner table was perfect for my big family. The next night, I made use of the Pellet Grill and grilled out. There’s also a VERY nice fire pit where we built a nice fire and made s’mores! I could go on and on about the property! We can not wait to come back in warmer weather to enjoy the lake more! The view from the master bedroom is AMAZING to wake up to! Robert is an amazing host! Do NOT hesitate to book Clearwater Shores!! ##### Ryan T. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janie N.
