Here Are a Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

“We have stayed in many VRBO places, and this has by far been the best experience.”

A true chef’s delight! Stainless steel appliances, quality cookware and bakeware, along with colorful dishes, seemingly endless drinkware and an array of barware offers endless opportunities to create memorable meals. Coffee enthusiasts will appreciate having a choice between a classic French press or a Cuisinart drip coffee maker, along with a selection of delicious syrups, sugar and coffee grounds (in case you forgot yours!). And not to worry tea drinkers – we have you fully covered with a tantalizing selection of quality teas and kettle.

Like to bake There is a pantry filled with baking essentials such as flour, sugar, spices and even a bag of chocolate chips to make our favorite chocolate chip cookies (yes, we have the recipe ready for you!).

Enjoy grilling We’ve got you covered with a large grill, complete with propane tank and all of the grilling accessories to level up your cooking!

For those crisp evenings, gather around the fire pit in handmade Adirondack chairs. The fire pit is thoughtfully tucked into the mature landscaping so that it also offers fantastic views of the water. Firewood is included along with skewers for roasting marshmallows.

The lower deck offers high top seating for 4, along with festive outdoor lighting and great water views.

    Gorgeous and well appointed, this cabin has it all. The view is spectacular, and the host has made everything so welcoming. She communicated with us several times and gave great recommendations for places to eat and boat rentals. We enjoyed our short stay and would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a home away from home on Smith Lake!

    This cozy house was perfect for us! The property was well equipped with dishes and cooking utensils. The grill was great! The dock and kayaks were great and the dock was on deep water. The branch of Smith lake that this house is on is super convenient to Trident marina for gas and dining. Wifi worked great.

    We have stayed in many VRBO places, and this has by far been the best experience. Everything that we could have possibly needed is here. The host has been attentive and accommodating. The house is clean and inviting and feels ‘like home’. They even have a plan for rainy days- to make cookies! And they include a recipe, along with ALL the ingredients!! That was a hit with the kids! We will be coming back!

    A great place by the lake! Easy to get to, and a great spot on the lake as well. Views were relaxing, and we all had a great time at this place. Kitchen had everything we needed, and the overall stay was just perfect. Our kids spent every single day in the water.

    Took a trip with some lifelong friends. The owner was very responsive and pleasant. Property is just as listed. Honestly, we overpacked for the stay bc the cabin is well prepared to host a small family or friends group. All of the cooking utensils needed were provided. Access to the lake is better than average (less stairs than most ?). We had one issue during the stay which the owner remedied swiftly and without having to be prompted which is great customer service! Everything worked and was as listed! Great location close to trident marina and the Grill!

    Wonderful place to stay! Everything was just perfect for our little family! The coziness of the living room over looking the lake was my favorite! The cabin came fully equipped with all your needs and was very clean. So glad we are getting to go back for more family fun Labor Day 2023! This is a must stay!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
