Very nicely designed space that was easy for three families to have their own floor. Only downside is very steep driveway but everything else was absolutely perfect. Amazing views and house.

This was our third year staying in the house as a group of two families. It is beautiful, clean, spacious and well-equipped. Wonderful place to stay! The host is very communicative and friendly, and answered all our questions quickly both before and during the stay. I recommend this house very highly.

Location was perfect. View and proximity to the water was fantastic! The house suited our large family well. Indoor and outdoor activities abound for all ages. Probably the best stocked kitchen I’be ever had in many, many years of renting through VRBO. Hosts were very responsive. A five star weekend for our family. The family is ready to go back!

Great place for our annual boys lake trip! We enjoyed the pool table and the great views over the quiet cove. Not too many stairs to the water and the cliff jumping was fun too. House has a good supply of cooking needs. Note that the low setting on the grill isn't that low. You'll need to turn off sections of the grill to get to a low setting. Driveway is quite steep which isn't uncommon for that lake so if you're bringing a boat and trailer, be prepared to leave it at the top of the hill and walk down the driveway. We will rebook it in the future!

Beautiful Lake Stay

We loved our time here. The house was beautiful and lots of space for our party. The dock was a hike but much easier than some we saw on the lake!!! Lots of room for our party if 9!

Lewis Smith Lake House

Great house with lots of space for a big gathering. Beautiful views and very peaceful. 2nd time at the house and would recommend it to anyone. Driveway is a bit intimidating, but worth it.
