The Lily Pad - April 2024
We highly recommend "The Lily Pad" for a peaceful getaway! The property is beautiful and accurately described with stunning lake views and amenities like a grill and Solo stove for cozy evenings. The property manager was easy to reach and very helpful. Perfect for a relaxing day - I particularly enjoyed the reclining loungers for afternoon naps by the lake. Bring charcoal for the grill and firewood for the Solo stove and you're all set for a fantastic stay! We are already looking forward to another long weekend at "The Lily Pad!"

Lake Smith Get Away
The big water view was amazing! The drive to the property was a little bit challenging. Step one lane dirt/gravel road. Not a place you want to drive after dark. The rental was beautiful updated with everything you need. The HVAC and instant hot water heater in the primary bath was a bit noisy at night. The LTV floor was gorgeous but unfortunately there were cracks and gouges in a few spots. Walking barefoot is not recommended. Overall nice weekend retreat with breathtaking views.

Lovely home supplied with everything we needed. Great kitchen for cooking together. Perfect spot on the deck swing to have coffee, a drink or simply enjoy the view. The host was exceptionally helpful.

Alabama Lake House
The driveway was very steep!! There wasn’t any soap to run the dishwasher. There was a dirty pan left in The oven and only 1 extra roll of TP also the outdoor cushions probably could be replaced, and the floor is very uneven , other then that it was clean and comfortable and quiet. Hope this review helps.

Lake Getaway
Great location! The house was nicely decorated and had everything we needed and then some. Are they were not too many steps to get down to the lake, which was good for grandma. I could not ask for a better view to drink morning coffee, and watch the sunrise from the deck. We really enjoyed our stay!

Weekend on the Water
This location worked great for us to spend a weekend on the water. The house is close to the water with a short walk down to the boat dock. Everyone we met was very nice and welcoming. We always enjoy staying at smith lake and this property was definitely a hit for good water access and a nice place to enjoy the evenings on the patio.
