Great place to visit

Location was perfect at the end of a cul de sac. House was new and clean. If you can handle the stairs down to the lake this place is for you.

Excellent location

We truly enjoyed our stay. It is a beautiful home and was perfect for our needs. Our only issue during our stay was the bedding hadn’t been changed from previous guests although we did request a very early check in which the host was gracious enough to allow. This may have

Lovely mid-week stay!

We stayed at The Emerald Den for a quick, last minute get-away for our kid’s fall break and had the best, most relaxing time. The hosts had everything you might need available in the home and the lake was gorgeous. We spent most of our time fishing and kid’s swimming off the dock and it was just so relaxing! It was our first time at Smith Lake and most certainly won’t be our last!

Wonderful family reunion

We rented the home for out of town relatives for a family reunion since our lake home is nearby. The home was clean and kitchen well stocked. Grandkids slept in bunk room and loft. Everyone enjoyed staying at the lake home.

Quick family get away

My first ever VRBO experience and I couldn’t have picked a better place. The hosts were amazing and super quick to reply with anything we needed. We had a nice little welcome treat and a card thanking us for booking. It’s the little things that mean the most. Very quiet and comfy stay. Will def be booking the Emerald Den again!

Girls trip

The cabin is very large and spacious with all kinds of things to do nearby with a great view of the lake. The only issue we had was ice maker froze over so I had to buy ice. The owner told me where to go and gave us a discount as well which was very nice. I would suggest adding baking casserole dishes to the well stocked kitchen. I did alot of cooking while there so that was the main thing needed that they didn't have. Easy to find and super nice owners left us a goody basket with lots of treats!! Would stay here again! Thanks for sharing your place with us!!

Great vacation!

We enjoyed our stay! The home was beautiful and well stocked. Although there were a lot of stairs to the water, it was a quiet and peaceful cove once on the dock. The driveway was large enough to accommodate our boat and vehicle. Overall, a good experience!

Enjoyable stay

Chad was super responsive to all of our questions. We had everything we needed during our stay. Having a dock was great . We spent a day playing in the water and another on the lake with a rented boat. It was super convenient to be able to pull up to the dock and go check on our dog and grab a few things although the stairs are not for the faint at heart. We saw them as our daily exercise. We really enjoyed our stay. rented bost

Wonderful Stay

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Emerald Den. The lake house and location were very nice. Staying on a lake is a very pleasant experience. The house itself was in great shape with all the amenities one might need or want. The host was very responsive to my questions and requests. Thank you so much to opening up your house to guests.
