We enjoyed our stay but a few things could have made it better. There was no ice in any of the refrigerators or the stand alone ice maker. It was a ways back to get ice. Batteries in the remote downstairs lower level were no good. Ample space for our group. Kitchen supplied well with utensils. The grill was nice.

Thank you for choosing Great Views and for the helpful feedback. I’ve passed along your feedback to our housekeeping and maintenance teams so the ice maker and refrigerators are checked before arrivals and the downstairs remote gets fresh batteries. Glad the space, kitchen supplies, and grill worked well for your group. Thank you for staying with Smith Lake Rentals — we hope to welcome you back.

Great Views is a excellent name for this home.

We have stayed here 4 times and each time we say it can’t get any better. But it does. We love it here and plan to book soon for another great views vacay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have never stayed past Duncan Marina but this property was perfect. The location on the lake was awesome, a lot of room for tubing and kneeboarding. The house is beautiful with plenty of room. I just wish the elevator worked because we had one kid on crutches. We will be back in 2 weeks, can’t wait.

Summer vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fun, fun!! The house was in a perfect location, the name is spot on. Kitchen supplies were skimpy, not enough forks!! Would like to know in advance about small appliances I.e. blender, griddle, crockpot. Great being close to the little park area and boat launch ramp. Oh yeah, bottom floor needs damp rid or dehumidifier, kinds musty, and no exhaust fans in the bathrooms doesn’t help. However it was an awesome week with my children and grands!!!

Great property that lacks cleanliness.

Location, property, and view was great. However it was not clean. Spider webs inside and rat droppings in cabinet drawer in kitchen. Luke warm water in the main floor bedroom shower. Faucets leaks in the kitchen. Tiles in kitchen are broken and loose. It was a pleasant surprise to find an extra refrigerator in the wash room and a small one down stairs that were not shown on website. I would stay here again if I knew things listed above were taken care of.

Hate you found these upon your arrival. We will address these items ASAP. The spider webs are hard to stay on top of as they are always working but we will ensure any rat pills are found and removed. FYI...we do have pest control at this house and no mice have been found. Please come back, the cleaning will meet your expectations next time. We will also figure out what is going on with the water temp and faucet leaks. The tile grout is starting to give way and the tile floor will need to be replaced. It is is on the long term plan but is not a simple fix. Thanks, Smith Lake Rentals

Great view, but dirty!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house has a wonderful layout and a great view, but it is very dated. There were cobwebs and thick dust on many surfaces. Cabinet knobs were sticky and there was visible evidence the floors were not properly swept or mopped. We alerted the manager and he immediately sent someone. Sadly, she wasn’t too excited to fix her mistakes. The mildew smell in the basement made guests sick and the green film in the upstairs shower was gross. Though the actual property was pretty, I don’t think I’d choose this house again.

Mixed Reviews on this house

Mixed Review – Pro’s 1. Beautiful View 2. Large house – plenty of room for our 14 people 3. Well stocked kitchen – bring your own spices like sugar 4. Elevator was great 5. Dock was great 6. cleaning was good except for Cons listed below Con’s 1. Trash in drawers and stashed other places behind things 2. Wet paper towels stashed with extra bedding – we could not use when needed 3. No bedding for futons 4. A/C quit working overnight – did have someone out to fix next afternoon– but we had to go to Walmart to buy fans for main floor that night 5. missing 3 trash cans in bathrooms – we had to go to walmart and buy new 6. had 5 sets towels for 14 people – we bought new then found the other ones in the dryer 7. Fridge had strong odor of fish 8. Fridge still had some groceries from the last person there 9. Drawers still had clothing from last person there 10. Walmart closest store and takes 32-40 minutes to get there – we lost a lot of time buying essentials above 11. Front bedroom has no fan and was very hot – told that house has a/c limit of 70 degrees While we liked the house, yard, boat dock, the cons and all the trips to walmart were a time sucker. With an extra hour of cleaning, most of this would not have been an issue. As it was, we just kept finding the next thing wrong which was difficult.

We had a great stay overall and would consider renting this property again. The location was perfect, the dock was nice, and the home provided plenty of space for our group. The bedrooms were spacious, the beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of bath towels and washcloths available. There were a few minor issues that could be improved. The kitchen was not stocked with spices, or sealable storage containers, so future guests should plan accordingly. We also found hair left in the main-level shower upon arrival, a carton of chicken livers in the downstairs mini fridge, and a few dishes had been put away dirty. Some drawers also had crumbs that had fallen into them and could have benefited from a more thorough cleaning. The property includes two full sized refrigerators and a stand alone ice maker, which was nice, but unfortunately none of the ice makers were working during our stay. Despite these minor issues, nothing was significant enough to negatively impact our stay, and we feel these are issues that could be easily resolved and would make an already nice property even better.

Pace People

The house was excellent for our family size. However, there were some security issues--the stacked tiles going down to the water were unstable. Also, railing was loose is several places. The sand bar was lots of fun for our 2 year old great-granddaughter. Inside, there were lots of broken tiles on the floor. The ice maker could not make enough ice for drinks much less taking on the boat. I have bad knees so the elevator was a God send!! Overall, I would rent the location again.

Overall stay was good. Property could have been cleaner

We had a great stay at this property. It was nice to have two spots for boats at the dock and the amenities were great. The property could have been a little cleaner: there was mold in some places and a musty smell upon arrival.

Awesome weekend!

It was an awesome weekend with 4 families reconnecting on the water! The house was big enough and provided some sweet opportunities to chill and enjoy each other’s company! The house is in need of some TLC……basic repair opportunities abound, but if you are with a group that doesn’t get hung up in the “little thing”, you’ll love it just like we did. Neighborhood is VERY quiet and peaceful. Even with lake down 9 ft for damn repairs, and storms rolling through regularly, we figured out how to enjoy the water and made it work!

Awesome getaway!

The photos of this house on your site do not do this location justice. Beautiful view of Smith Lake, large back deck and dock to drop a fishing line. Bedrooms and kitchen were spacious. We will be back.
