The location of the property is very convenient, Jay was quick to reply to questions and the set up was perfect for our families. Overall cleanliness was good—linens were clean, but kitchen could have been wiped down a little better and we had to sweep the leaves off the deck. Great view!

About the host

Hosted by Jay

Host profile image
Little's On The Lake was purchased in 2015 and is a family owned property. It is named for our Grandparents - Fred and Willene Little. The home was decorated by our sister who is an interior designer.

Why they chose this property

We purchased Little's on the Lake in 2015. The house is named for our grandparents - Fred and Willene Little. It adds to our portfolio of properties named after our grandparents - including Grace's Retreat, named after our other grandmother who passed away in 2008. More than anything our grandparents love having the family together. This house brings family and friends together throughout the year.

What makes this property unique

It is only a short drive from I-65 and is located less than 2 minutes from the public boat launch at Smith Lake Park. With the open floor plan, the house is perfect for large gatherings or getaways for couples, friends, and families.
