Very peaceful stay. This is a slip level home, so be prepared for the kitchen and living area to be on different levels.Shannon was a great host. He even gave us recommendations for dinner nearby.

Perfect home away from home!

Our stay at Smith Lake was wonderful! We brought two teenagers for Rock the South, and this location was perfect. It was a short drive, but just what we were looking for. The cabin itself was great! We loved the fabulous decks and the view of little cove and other surroundings were just so peaceful and relaxing. We were even able to take our little furbaby! Shannon was super, super helpful and even offered advice on where to eat and park when we headed to Rock the South. We also rented the boat every day and enjoyed the lake so much! We highly recommend!! and we will definitely be back!!

we had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful Smith Lake cabin, and it was an amazing experience. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your lovely retreat! The views were absolutely stunning, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway.One of the highlights was being able to rent the owners brand new pontoon boat, which allowed us to enjoy the lake in a whole new way - a fantastic addition to our trip. We especially loved that both rooms had their own full bathrooms, making our stay even more comfortable and convenient. Everything inside the cabin looked to brand new and well-maintained, clearly cared for with attention to detail. We definitely plan to return and look forward to our next visit. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a peaceful and scenic escape!

One of the best vrbo rentals

Our stay at the Smith Lake cabin was amazing! Shannon was very accommodating to make sure we had everything we needed prior to arrival. The cabin was immaculate, updated and clean. It was “just right” to feel at home, but without the stress. The location was perfect to make you feel secluded but close enough to amenities so you can make quick runs. The view of the lake is absolutely gorgeous. The description of the trail does not do it justice. The property has a trail leading to a cavern like area that is amazing! They have beautiful lights along the trail at night which makes it so majestic. The kids loved being out by the trail. We can not wait to book again during the summer and enjoy the lake.
