Beautiful lake home with the BEST sunset views on Smith Lake situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in desirable Little Crooked Creek (Rock Creek) in Crane Hill. Surrounded by woods and with no through traffic at all, this is one of the most peaceful spots on the lake. You can even hear the rush of the waterfalls on the neighboring lot if there has been recent rain. One of the best features of this unique lake house is the deep, year-round water in our quiet cove that is protected from the boat traffic. Kids and adults will love jumping off of the top of the enormous 2 story boat dock!.

✔ Our incredible cove is surrounded by the most amazing rock formations -to showcase the beauty, we along with our neighbors have added light features to the rock walls. Sitting on the dock at night taking in the illuminated rocks and looking at the stars has become one of our favorite family activities.

✔ Smith Lake fishing is incredible! We have a great connection to a local charter boat captain who you can schedule to pick you up on our dock to take you out for an awesome day of fishing for striped bass.

✔ We have a NO PARTY policy that we strictly enforce. Please keep this in mind when booking. We appreciate you keeping it to only registered guests in our lake home. Also, please respect our neighbors and the serenity of our cove when playing music on the dock. Thank you!

    The house was amazing! There was plenty of room for our group. The views of the lake were great and the porches were a wonderful place for morning coffee. Our group really enjoyed the dock and spent most of our time there. Jason and Amanda were wonderful hosts! Very responsive and had great recommendations. We can’t wait to go back!

    Great location with a fantastic dock! Wonderful for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, and eating together in a peaceful cove. And I appreciated the plethora of floaties available to use. Very quiet neighborhood. House was very spacious and lots of great seating for everybody. Kitchen was well stocked and beds were comfy. Owners were great to work with and made sure we were well taken care of. We would love to go back!

    My sisters and our families had plenty of room for our family vacation at the Blue Cottage. The kids loved jumping off the dock, kayaking, and lounging on the lily pad. Be ready for the stairs, but the private lake cove is well worth it! The owner provided all the check in info ahead of time, so getting there and into the house was a breeze. If you're looking for a relaxing spot to escape the hustle of reality for a bit, we would definitely recommend the Blue Cottage for your next vacation.

    Our grandchildren had an amazing time, the downstairs was perfect for the to hang out and play video games. We got to make wonderful memories with our boys, they enjoyed jumping off the boathouse, and swimming. The house was away from the beaten path, which we enjoyed, not a lot of boat and jet ski traffic. The house was beautiful and spacious, kitchen was fully equipped, the beds were very comfortable with all the amenities you could ask for. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home.
