Jul 31, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Clean rental This house had only 1 bath and for a place that sleeps 10 it is not enough. Also the house only sleeps 8. Not enough beds for 10. It was good on the view, dock, and kitchen had working adequate supplies. The pots, and other dishes were good. ##### Sara R.

May 2, 2025 #### Spring Getaway 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: My husband and I booked this trip to visit the amazing Smith Lake. We had many sources telling us how great the lake was and we were not disappointed. This location provided us with an awesome view and great access to the water. You will not be disappointed if you choose this property. Very clean and everything you need to have a great time. ##### Dorothy R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dorothy R.

Sep 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Feels like you are the only house on the Lake The place was a advertised. However, the drive way is very steep and with loose gravel. A few of our guests felt uncomfortable driving their car down there. I had a 4 wheel drive which made it just fine. Loved the open concept living - dining-kitchen. The view was outstanding, dock was great. ##### Brad & Emily A. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jon D. Jul 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing location and boat dock This property is amazing for the boat centric family vacation. The covered boat dock and close location to boat ramps and gas maria’s makes it easy to maximize time on the water. The open floor layout allowed us to relaxed and cook meals at the same time. The host was correct the narrow gravel driveway with steep grade make it impossible to turn around a trailer boat. Launch your boat first. Great place. ##### Jon D. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Rosemary D. Jun 13, 2022 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Rustic at best I do not understand the 5 star reviews of this property. The house is rustic at best; overall really janky. The power went out during our stay as well. The dock was broken, basically unusable on one whole side. Undisclosed at the time of rental. Rusted metal trim was hanging off and nails were coming out of the boards. I don't know how someone has not cut themselves and caught tetanus. With 4 small children wanting to jump off the dock it was very dangerous. The house has entire support beams held together with glue. One support beam was actually bent and seems like it will be buckling soon. I do not know how this is safe. The stairs have no rails; a dog or child can easily fall off the side of the stairs onto the concrete outdoor shower platform that does not work. The windows in all the bedrooms are disgusting; the beds are gross; the bottom bunk on one of the bunk beds was so small, my 10 year old girl could not fit in it. The entire yard was covered - and I mean covered- with a carpet of poison ivy. I am shocked that the reviews do not reflect the true condition, and I am also shocked that the house is deemed up to code. I would not recommend this house for anyone. ##### Rosemary D.
