Jul 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house, great location great time We have vacationed at Smith Lake several times, primarily on either the central or Eastern fork. This was the first time we had stayed West of Dunkin Bridge. We found it as nice as the other places, and a bit less trafficed. The house was wonderful. We had three families stay and had plenty of room. The accommodations were very good, the house very clean and the amenities what we expect. We would definitely come back. ##### Clyde C. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 This review is from a guest who booked and stayed through a partner site and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Jul 26, 2025 #### We will be Back!! Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay and the house was perfect. Definitely great for multiple families or someone with a large family. We had 2 families with 8 kids (teens & littles). We housed all the kids downstairs, so they had their own little area. We relaxed, cooked and played in the water every day. The property was clean and well maintained. The water was clear, and we loved our scenic views from the porch every morning & evening. It was a perfect getaway to recharge before the school years starts back.

The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful view pure bliss !! If you are looking for pure relaxation this is it. Breath taking sunsets, and even if you get rained out the afternoon thunderstorms rolling in are perfect from the porch it is sooo relaxing. It’s not to many steps from the house to the 2stry dock and sun tanning on the upper deck is perfect 🤩. Loving the kyacking , fishing , stand up paddle boarding , and even rented a pontoon for 2 days. We fished every day morning and night but apparently the fish don’t bite in the summer like they do the spring, but nevertheless This lake house is truly a BLESSING !!!! ##### A guest from , ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Phoenix Gulf Tower 404 4 Bedroom Condo](https://www.expedia.ca/Orange-Beach-Hotels-Phoenix-Gulf-Tower-404-4-Bedroom-Condo.h90980981.Hotel-Information) > - [Turquoise Place Unit 1808D \*FANTASTIC RATES!
