The property is located on the **main channel of Smith Lake but tucked back into a private cove**, giving you convenient access to the lake while helping protect the property from the noise and waves of passing boat traffic. You're also just a short boat ride from **Smith Lake Park, Big Bridge, and several area marinas**.

    My wife and I had the privilege of staying at this beautiful home. The owners were kind and inviting and showed us around the property. The view of the lake was absolutely breathtaking. We ate meals looking out the window at the scenery. We had our pontoon boat and put it in at Smith Lake Park which was about 3-5mi down the road. We would come back here for sure!

    The view was breathtaking and the grounds were well kept and had place to grill and sit in a park. Great for entertaining and relaxing.

    The property and its owners J&D are amazing. The downstairs apartment was just a 100 feet from the beautiful boat dock. The apartment was quiet with kitchen, family room, two bathrooms, and two bedrooms. For large boat owners, I highly recommend launching at Smith Lake Park, which is a 10 minute boat ride, because the drive into the property is very steep. This is our favorite place to stay on the Smith Lake.

    We totally enjoyed our stay. You could not ask for more friendly owners. They live there onsite and will answer if you knock if you have any questions. Sweet Couple. the place is beautiful we could use the whole dock with our boat pulled in and 2 jet skis tied to the side. Tons of waterfront to explore. They allowed our dog and we are very thankful for that. The driveway is steep but we did fine in a Truck loading the jet skis. Thanks again.

    We throughly enjoyed our stay! The property is beautiful and meticulously maintained! Great lake access and very peaceful and private. The owners Jonas and Doris were lovely and accommodated our every need. Thanks for allowing our pups to come! They loved roaming the property and swimming in the lake.

    We LOVE this property and will stay again! We did not bring a boat but the property manager let us know several days in advance that if we brought a boat, we would need 4WD to put in the water at the boat ramp. The property is beautiful! The house is spacious and had all utensils we needed. It was very clean! The owners, Jonas and Doris were nice and kind.

    We spent a week here and had a blast. The dock was awesome to spend time on and fish. If you do fish be sure to bring a net. Believe me, you’re going to hook some big ones.

    Friendly owner who was on-site and greeted us right away to make sure we had what we needed. Awesome location on the cove, lots of privacy. Super steep driveway, need to have a car or truck that can climb a very steep hill. We plan on staying again.
