Smith Lake weekend
Posted Sep. 2, 2024 on HomeAwayWe had a lovely weekend in Smith Lake. The property was clean, charming and had all the amenities we needed and extremely comfortable. We also loved the views off our two patios. We would love to return again.

Beautiful property
Posted Jul. 12, 2024 on HomeAwayThe property is beautiful and at first glance plus getting there it was a breeze! Communication with the owner up front was perfect. However, we came to find out that the property had not been serviced by the management company since May and our stay was the end of June. So, there wasn't a once over prior to our stay which was disappointing. Brown rings in the toilets, beer cans left at the fire pit, wasp nests and spiderwebs on decking and dock plus the dishwasher had been broken for a while and dirty dishes left in it. The oven wasn't working either. We brought over 600 dollars in groceries to cook while there and definitely needed the oven! Then, the smoke detectors started beeping from low battery. All of this was a bit much for the price we payed to stay at this pretty house. The property management company ended up coming out and they cleared up all of the above including coming to install a new dishwasher during our stay. I think if I were to stay here again, which location and view and furnishings are amazing so I'd consider, but I'd make sure the cleaning and management company comes to care and get the property ready for my stay right before, like day before we arrive, and not over a month before.

Hi Gayla. I am so glad you enjoyed the stunning views and gorgeous home. As explained, rings from lake water easily form in the clean toilets when they are not flushed daily. My husband was there right before your stay to check on things. The lake is beautiful and lake creatures such as spiders and wasps like to enjoy the surroundings as well - and that is how fast Mother Nature acts. Without cameras at the fire pit, I don't know how a can or two were left so I apologize for this oversight. While it is unfortunate that user error caused the oven to temporarily not work, I am thankful the maintenance company got there so quickly to correct it for you in addition to installing a brand new dishwasher after the current one suddenly and unexpectedly died and to also replace the less than 6 month old batteries in the detectors. It is wonderful to have such a great maintenance company on board. I do hope your stay was enjoyable otherwise and I hope you will book again soon.

WHAT.A.VIEW to the cleanest lake in Alabama!
Posted Mar. 18, 2024 on HomeAwayThis house is not only beautiful and spotless on the inside, you are situated by the cleanest lake in all of Alabama! I spent a few relaxing days with my family at this delightful home. There is plenty of room for a large family, an oversized kitchen and amazing lake views from every room. We enjoyed the firepit at night making smores with the kids. The decor is all high-end, no lumpy mattresses or itchy sheets! Julie is an expert host and incredibly responsive to any questions. You can enjoy this home in the winter as a cozy retreat or the summer to cool off in a gorgeous lake!

Welcoming Home
Posted Sep. 29, 2022 on HomeAwayWe had a great experience staying at this property. It easily accommodated our two families (10 people). The house was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities of home. The view from the back porch was amazing and have a dock on the lake made the trip that much more enjoyable. I highly recommend this property and look forward to our next visit.

The perfect house
Posted Aug. 8, 2022 on HomeAwayThis house was amazing. The downstairs den with the kitchenette and ping pong table was a hit for our teenagers. Everyone had their own space. The view is spectacular and we really enjoyed the fire pit and the outdoor area. We would definitely stay here again!
