The game room was a bonus for entertainment. We did expect there to be doors separating the bedrooms, but it was more or less beds in a side hall off two bedrooms. It still worked for us, but we thought there would be a little more privacy there. We would definitely stay here again in the future! ##### Brianna C.

We came from Texas for our niece's wedding and the home was perfect for a few family members to stop by and visit. We immediately fell in love with the house, it reminded us of another vacation home we stayed at in Arkansas years back. Tara was very responsive to any questions and just kind all around.

We booked it as a long weekend get-away trip for my birthday, and we couldn't have been more pleased! Tara was very easy to communicate with during the booking process, and we absolutely loved the cabin. It is very tastefully decorated and has everything you need to make yourself right at home. The cabin is very spacious with plenty of beds to sleep a lot of people, so we plan to make many trips back with some of our family and friends since we loved it so much. I think the porch was my favorite part, and that is where we spent most of our time listening to music, reading books, and just looking at the beautiful lake view. If you want a beautiful cabin at a great price where you can unplug and get some R&R like we did, you should definitely book with The Dyers! You won't regret it. Thanks again, Tara! We will definitely be back to stay again. ##### Jordan H. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renee H. Apr 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quick Family Get Away The covered level outdoor space was lovely to enjoy the view of the water. We brought my 93 year old mother-in-law and it was so nice to have everything on the same level for her. The game room being separate from the house was nice too, but does need some TLC. We thoroughly enjoyed the ping pong table, but we did go out and get our own paddles and balls because there were only two paddles and one ball and we wanted to play doubles. The foozball table didn't have a ball and I don't remember what the kids said about the darts, but they bought their own for that too. The dart board did look like it had seen better days though. The fireplace in the living room was cozy and actually could produce heat too which was nice because it was still chilly when we were there. All the beds were fine except for one in the back bedroom. They said they sunk towards the middle. My overall suggestion would be white linens and new pillows. The stovetop has a small hairline crack and I think it may be affecting the consistent function of the burners. It was like it was difficult to control the temperature. All in all though, we had a lovely stay. Thank you! ##### Renee H. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Robin L. Aug 15, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Rough start but ended well. Check in started out rough! The home is located on a very narrow dead end road and the pictures of the parking area are deceiving. We have a 26ft pontoon boat and pull it with a 4 door Dodge 1 ton. My husband was able to pull the boat up in the driveway, but we would have been out of luck getting it out, if it had not been for our son meeting us in his small SUV. Our son was able to hook his SUV to the boat trailer and get it out of the driveway the next day. After arriving, and discovering the parking situation, I went inside, only to find the home was filthy and had not been cleaned from the previous renters. Fortunately, the owner had extra clean sheets for each bed in the house. The owner was very quick to respond and did refund us $300 for the inconvenience. She was very apologetic and told me this has only happened one other time and this time, the cleaning lady had the cleaning schedule mixed up. The house itself is very accommodating for a large group of people. I would suggest future renters bring disposable cups, as there are not many drinking glasses. I also brought zip lock bags and storage containers, which came in handy. The boat dock was perfect for parking the boat and jet skis. My family caught fish from the dock and overall, we enjoyed our stay. ##### Robin L. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renee M. Aug 28, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A little slice of heaven We were headed to Perdido for a quick end of summer trip and two hurricanes thwarted our efforts. We had to make a quick decision to cancel that trip and book something else and I honestly think it was a much better vacation then we would’ve had at the beach. The kids certainly thought so. We had to quickly reroute our plans and the owners of the lake house were more than accommodating. We weren’t sure when we were going to be able to come in and she worked through all of our changes and regrouping challenges with ease. We had a challenge with the washing machine and from the time I called her to the time it was fixed was 32 minutes. I honestly don’t even know how they got out there that quickly but they had it handled and we were back in business in no time. The home was clean and was exactly as described. It was very comfortable and a great Lakehouse experience. We were not looking for anything that was too fancy and Or having to worry about kids messing anything up. It was the perfect combination of nice and homey. There were plenty of towels and cleaning supplies available and she had plenty of paper products to use instead of washing dishes for every meal. We really didn’t need anything other than food, bathing suits and our clothes. I would highly recommend this home if you want a relaxing and low key vacation. We will be back!! ##### Renee M.

Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kahne S. Jun 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### HUGE porch, great Smith Lake views, private dock AND a great property Host! Great hilltop view of Smith Lake with a private dock for anytime, on-site access to lake below! It’s a lovely, quiet location, has a huge front porch facing the lake AND a private dock. Sitting on that porch with a mug of coffee early in the morning, watching the mist rise from the water, seeing geese forage at lake’s edge… aahhh, what a way to start a day! ##### Kahne S.

Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Lake house spot It definitely looks a lot bigger on the outside. We also thought there would be 6 individual rooms so that was a little misleading, but overall we really enjoyed our stay. The outside was beautiful and the inside kitchen was perfect. ##### Michele T.
