Time Out of Mind is very remote; and once off the main road, it’s very rough with potholes. BUT you arrive at a house that sits on the bank of the MOST picturesque little creek you could ever imagine. Even in winter we enjoyed the kayaks. Restaurants are few and far between, so be prepared; and you’ll probably want to bring your own favorite cookware. Also, bring your favorite family games, and you can truly put “time out of mind”.
Lovely property with awesome dock, great game room, beautiful landscaping, big deck and screened in porch. This house has everything you need. We roasted marshmallows at the fire pit, swam, boated, and played games. The owner is so accommodating and responsive. He helped us with all our requests. We’ll definitely rent this house again!
The place is nice . It could definitely need a good cleaning . The price ia reasonable amd it has a pool table! The views are nice from balcony. The dock and water are nice. We had a great time and the owners were very easy with. We had no problems. We loved the pool table and the lake!
Our group rents on smith lake all the time and this house is my favorite for many reasons! Great location- less traffic on the water, beautiful around the house and not a bad walk to the water. House itself- fully stocked linens closet that accommodates extras and makes you comfortable, all bedrooms were wonderful, 2 full kitchens, screened in porch!!! Stocked kitchen, air conditioning for each floor that worked perfectly, huge dining table that we were used nightly, pool table, beautiful view. Owners- super easy to deal with. We will def be back to this one!!! Bonus-Plus, we rented jet skis & pontoon from Bum Jett Ski Rentals- they delivered to nearest boat ramp which was in our neighborhood!
This is the first time my family have participated in a destination Christmas and I must say we really enjoyed the home and accommodations. Everything was wonderful and the home was absolutely beautiful.
Enjoyed our stay. The house was plenty big enough For twelve people.
This property is a quiet, beautiful place to meet with your friends and family for a peaceful vacation. The beds are comfortable, the views are spectacular and the house is perfect. The kitchen comes with everything you need to cook all your delicious meals.
We had a very nice stay. Weather could have been better but it's a short walk to the dock so we enjoyed what we could. The area is very remote which was nice for swimming and floating around. There are some areas too that you can dock a boat or kayak and get out to explore. The house was great. Perfect size for all of us. The out door speakers really came in handy for football days and playing on the dock.
This lake house was perfect for meeting our family/cousins for Labor Day weekend. The cousin kids loved sleeping in the bunk room. The dock and swimming area was perfect for floating. We rented a pontoon boat and had a blast exploring this unique lake. The house has everything any large group would need. The owner was very responsive to our questions and accommodating. We will definitely rent here again! Loved the screen porch and the game room.
We enjoyed our stay at Time Out of Mind! House is as described. Everything you need is included. We shuttled 32 folks in and out over a week. 1st had a birthday party, then the girls high school basketball team stayed a few days for their 2nd annual End of Summer Trip, then another side of the family came in. When we had the 14 girls there- we had more than plenty of room! This house has the biggest/best washer dryer ever! Every few days I was washing bedding before a new group came in… it held several sets of sheets at a time! Having an oven downstairs and upstairs helped when cooking for large groups! A few negatives I can say, was driving in on a gravel road getting the boat dirty…but, most homes around the lake are on gravel roads. Last negative was being far out from marinas- it’s a 30 minute boat ride to either Lakeshore or Duncan Bridge… But, a small price to pay for a great trip!
The house was all and more than we expected. Plenty of room for all 13 of us to comfortably sleep, cook and bathroom space. The dock and swimming area were fantastic, great place to moor the boat. Pool table and game room on the lower level gave the kids plenty of things to do, never a boring moment!! A great screened in porch for the adults to relax after the young ones were down for the night!!
We've stayed here several years in a row. Great place to stay. We've enjoyed it everytime! Great to work with. Quick responses with any questions about the property. Always a great experience!
The house was clean there was plenty of space. Walking from the house to the lake was wonderful for the people that wanted to do that. The neighbors were great. We enjoyed the stay
