Great location on the lake, pet friendly, and lots of room. The pool is not entirely necessary given the lake access, but it was a nice feature on the one day it rained (perfect weather otherwise), and is well maintained with a great sound system. Not a lot of room for food storage for the week, but there are two units so if you are willing to run back and forth it works out well. We had my parents, my family, and my two sisters’ families, plus two dogs, and had an amazing week.

This is the perfect setting for a large family gathering! We loved floating on the lake, splashing in the pool and hanging out on the porch.

The photos of this property are VERY deceiving. There are no water views from the house, with the exception of the master bedroom on the second floor. The property is in great need of repair and a deep cleaning. The bunk house over the garage is in better shape. The kitchen was not well-equipped, there was no stock pot, and every pan/dish in the place had a crust on it and needed to be cleaned before use. We arrived on Labor Day weekend with food for the grill, and found out we had no gas. I called the management company, and we received a new tank the following day.Parking needs to be done VERY carefully, because the owner of the home next door will keep coming over to have you move the cars around. This owners home is SO close to this property, and we did not even use the beach or firepit, due to the constant interactions with the neighbor walking her dogs. Also, the dimensions of the boathouse slip are very tight. We had a 22ft pontoon that barely fit.There are also unlit stairwells, and the one I think is the most dangerous is the one going up to the bunk house. The other one is in the main house going down to the lower level that connects with the pool building. With the number of stairs, small children/elderly travelers would not be a good fit for this property.I would also like to say that the pool and sauna were great and were well-maintained and the beds were all comfortable. Overall, we rent every year on this lake-and this is not a great value for this area.

Christmas Break

We stayed between Christmas and New Years to go skiing at Gunstock - it rained 2 out of the 3 days but the house was so great with the indoor pool we didn't mind being stuck inside. We had an issue with the TV in the pool area and someone came out to look at it for us which was appreciated. Only thing I would recommend is adding a hot tub! Great place and thinking of renting again in the summer to enjoy the lake!

Such a disappointing property. This was a family vacation of 12 people flying in from all different areas of the US. Upon arrival, we determined:1. The electrical sockets in the main house were not working in two bedrooms, the living room and the screened in porch. Management company was called. Provided a fix of running extension cords, provided power strips and floor lamps. Electrician #1 couldn't fix the issue, Electricians #2 & 3 were no shows. It was frustrating trying to juggle 8 people in the main house with limited electrical outlets.2. The shower valve in the main house was defective. It was impossible to regulate water temperature and water sprayed out from the valve. 3. The boat house was dangerous. The wooden walkway around the boat was missing slats and the front of the slip had been hit and was damaged. Their fix was to nail a 2x6 over the damaged area for people to cross and pray no one fell through the missing slats. Some minor things - the description indicates garage access. There was no garage access. It would have been helpful to have a stick vacuum to clean up. Brooms and mops were provided but they were covered in dog hair. Lots of spider webs. The kitchen in the main house has very limited counter space. The guest house was nice and as described. I would have expected to have electricity, a properly working shower and boat house that was safe for the price paid. I didn't go on vacation to be a property mgr.

July 23

We had a fantastic week! The house was very clean, spacious and great for a group of 12. The pool house was fun and spotless. We enjoyed a few nights by the pool and in the sauna. The boathouse worked well for our boat rental. The yard and small beach were great for the dogs. The farm table on the sun porch was perfect for family meals and games! We wish we could have swapped the main kitchen with the kitchen in the apartment as counter space is limited as are utensils! However, we did manage to cook some great meals regardless. All in all, another perfect week at the lake!

Great stay.

The key for the apartment over the garage did not work but the door was open. More coffee cups are needed. More lights are needed in the master bedroom. Mirror in the master bath is needed.Another set of silverware is needed even for 12 people. Front door bar has burrs that cut hands. We put aluminum foil on it . More drying towels are needed in the kitchen. More sharp knives are needed in the kitchen. Need lights in the laundry room.

Smith point Birri Fam

Cons: The grille was out of propane, once filled the regulator needed to be reset every time it was used. Although the ad boasts of an outside fire pit/place, once we arrived we were informed that we could not use it. The ad also boasts of both a boat house and a dock to use, the dock being imperative to us due to our boat being large, so we got confirmation via email that we can have dock access and boat house access only to find upon arrival that dock access is not allowed. No closet space, hangers or hooks in bunkhouse. Pros: It’s located in a very nice spot on the lake. The pool was great The houses were clean

No dock as advertised. Only 5 bedrooms

We are seasoned renters with 3 generations in our group. We have been renting on the lake for 10 years and we know what we need to accommodate our family. We are willing to pay for that too. This house advertised a dock that we confirmed over the phone 2 times(because there were no pictures of it) and were told we could swim and fish off of it. There was no dock! There are only 5 bedrooms, with 6 listed. The bed count is correct though. The boat house was in need of repair and had many hazards hanging over the very tight spacing. The side entrances to the boathouse had no rubber on them, they were splintered wood and a very narrow opening. We removed several piles of dog poop from the yard that our grandchildren were playing in(the yard not the poop.) The little sandy beach was great for the toddlers.The indoor pool was great for everyone. The kitchen had no storage space for food and very little counter space for food prep. Only 2 dish towels were provided. A home of this size and advertised head count should be much better supplied and have storage for food and meal prep. The in-law apartment was not outfitted with many basic items such as dishes, toilet paper holder, dishwasher, etc. It seems to have been newly updated but really isn't quite finished for rentals. We will not rent here again.
