We stayed here for the first time and for our needs it was perfect! We don’t need a big place as we stay on the water all day when we come and this cozy cottage was perfect
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! Loved being right on the water without tons of steps. The house was well equipped with everything we needed & more! Paula (host) was very quick to respond & made booking easy. We will definitely stay again !
We stayed for my husband birthday and it was an absolute great weekend. The cabin is right on the water with a great view of the lake. It was clean and had everything you would need for a great stay.

Courtney,
Thanks for the great review.
I'm so happy ya'll enjoyed our cabin.
Steve and Paula
This is the perfect location if you love a great view of the water. It had everything that we needed. We will definitely try and go back in the future.
Everything was very nice, clean. The view was amazing. The only thing that we had a problem with was the driveway. The lugging of food and luggage up and down the steep driveway was bad.
The property was very clean and well kept. We enjoyed the lake which was right at the back door. Quite and peaceful. Would definitely recommend to anyone that is looking for a peaceful getaway.
I really enjoyed my stay here and Paula was so easy to work with. My husband and I are building a house in Arley and this was the perfect location for us. I love the covered porch and the views are incredible. The easy access to the lake was the best thing about this property.
We absolutely loved our weekend stay at the Lakefront Cozy Cottage. We spent most of our time on the water boating during the day and by the camp fire at night while cooking dinner. We look forward to going back again soon!
Really neat lake house! Perfectly situated on the waters edge.
We had a great stay! We always notice this house from the water and finally stayed there. The owner was very helpful and responded very quickly. Plenty of space in the den and kitchen for entertaining. The deck and fire pit areas are awesome. We plan to visit again soon!

Our second time staying at the Hills lake house. The hubby and I love it there. It was quiet and peaceful. We have only had positive experiences at the house and when communicating with the Hills. We plan on going again in the summer.

We had a wonderful family vacation at this lake house. We loved the view and being outside on the porch, deck and dock. We had so much fun kayaking and fishing. We caught a lot of fish too (spotted and striped bass). We will definitely come back.

The house was in good condition and very clean. The lake front location of this property is amazing. I sat on the porch drinking my coffee and felt like I was on a house boat.
Thanks Paula, it was a wonderful and relaxing Mother's Day weekend with my husband and two adult children.
A good place for summer fun for family. Nice clean cabin with everything you will need for vacation with the family. We enjoyed the lake and cabin. The grandkids had a great time rowing in the kayaks, swimming in the lake. The girls and I really enjoyed the lillypad, the boys fishing. We cooked great meals in the kitchen. We hope to return again.

About the host
Hosted by Paula Hill
We are from Mississippi and bought this house as secondary home and investment.
Why they chose this property
It is so hard to find a lot that is not steep and is only steps from the water. This home is just what we wanted because you can walk right out your door and take only a few steps to the boat dock and swim pier. We looked at several homes we liked but the lot was too steep. It also has a wonderful covered porch and a deck and fire pit and 235 feet of water frontage and its PRIVATE and sits on a wide area of lake so your not close to other boat slips or houses.We have been coming to Smith Lake for about 5 years and we love it. Plus the house is rustic and unique with its vaulted ceilings and beams and fireplace.
What makes this property unique
We have been coming to Smith Lake for about 5 years and we love it. The people are so nice and we love to fish for sea bass and ride in our pontoon that we just bought. Previously we rented a pontoon. You can ride in your boat to Trident and listen to music and eat and then ride back. Its so beautiful and relaxing looking at the beautiful lake homes.
