Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your weekend and had fun making the most of the game room and amenities, from the foosball table and shuffleboard to the pool table and indoor games. Creating a space where guests can relax, connect, and enjoy time together—rain or shine—is exactly what we hope for. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we appreciate your kind words about our hospitality. We would love to welcome you back when the weather is warmer so you can enjoy even more of the lake, outdoor spaces, and everything the property has to offer. 💫

Host was wonderful!We did run into a few issues but they were resolved quickly. If you like cooking and grilling this isn’t the house for you. No pantry of sorts to put any food away that you shop for. No counter space in the kitchen to prep. The grilling area, well there isn’t one. Just a round charcoal Weber grill ( small) no table to put the food you are cooking on, I had to use a chair. Again I like to grill and cook. Other than that we all had a wonderful time.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for the kind words about your visit. I’m glad to hear your group had a wonderful time and that any issues that came up were resolved quickly. Just as a quick update for future guests, we have added a new large Weber grill as of April 26, 2026. The kitchen layout and amenities are shown in the listing photos, and in the seven years we’ve been hosting we haven’t received concerns about the kitchen setup, but we always appreciate feedback and are continually making improvements for our guests. Thanks again for staying with us, and we’re so glad you enjoyed your time at the lake!

Wonderful stay with great layout for 2 families. Kids had a great time with playing pool and fooseball. When they were being loud upstairs we just sent them downstairs and it gave us some peace and quiet lol. There were some cleanliness issues and a few items that were broken/missing when we arrived. Kayaks are only one person so we were not able to take our kids out with a parent (ages 2-7) which was a bummer. However, the fishing off the dock was amazing! Everyone caught at least one fish. Each night we cooked out on the charcoal grill and had a fire in the exceptionally large fire pit. It was so quiet at night and truly a beautiful place to stay on Smith Mt. Lake.

We agree — the lot and the easy walk to the lake make that view truly amazing! Thank you for sharing that photo. I’m so glad you loved the home and all the indoor activities for the kids. We’ve also ordered two sit-in kayaks that will be available starting April 25, 2026, so we hope you’ll come back this summer and enjoy those as well. And it’s great to hear everyone had fun fishing off the dock — it’s a fantastic spot on the lake for catching some pretty big fish!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for spending your Christmas holiday with us. We’re truly glad to hear you found the home relaxing and enjoyable, and that the beds were comfortable and the shuffleboard was a hit with your son. We really appreciate your feedback regarding the kitchen. We typically receive very positive comments about how well stocked it is, especially for guests who enjoy cooking, so I’m sorry it fell short during your stay. I’ll personally be visiting the home this week to do a full inventory and ensure all cooking essentials are replenished and up to our usual standard. Thank you as well for the note about the dining room chairs — feedback like this helps us continue to improve the experience for future guests. We’re grateful you chose our home and took the time to share your experience. We’d love the opportunity to host you again in the future.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving family vacation here! The house was perfect for the 8 of us plus our dog. Plenty of room for all. The billiards tables, foosball, and game cabinet were most definitely used, lots! The kitchen was well stocked for putting together a Thanksgiving dinner. The rooms were very comfortable for everyone involved. We will definitely be returning, hopefully in the summer!

Thank you so much! We’re thrilled you had a wonderful Thanksgiving stay. The home really does feel even larger in person than the photos can show, so I’m glad it provided plenty of space for everyone (including your pup!). We also try to keep the kitchen extremely well-stocked — right down to the spices — so guests can easily prepare holiday meals or anything else they need. It’s great to hear it all came in handy for your Thanksgiving dinner. We’d love to welcome you back again, hopefully this summer!
