Convenient and Relaxing Lake House
Come and enjoy a peaceful vacation at the lake! You will feel like you are away from it all! YET - This house is very conveniently located only 7 miles from I-65 and 15 min from shopping and restaurants. There is a grocery store only 5 miles away! Attending a wedding or event at The Barn? We are only 9 miles from the barn. We are one of the closest available properties! :)
Bring your boat! There is a slip just for you at the boat dock. Enjoy our easy and gentle slope to the lake (which is hard to find on Smith Lake!!). If you would just like to catch some rays, lay out on the sun deck. Kayaks included in the fun!

Fantastic place!! Very cozy and well appointed. The host was great with communication! Would definitely stay here again. (Be warned that the spiral staircase leading to the lower level is very tricky - it was fine for us but if anyone has trouble with stairs it could possibly be an issue!)

My wife and I had a wonderful time here. The house was perfect for us and the dock was perfect for relaxing, fishing and docking our boat. It's not too far from town making it convenient for groceries and restaurants.

We really enjoyed our stay. The home is perfectly positioned in a tranquil cove but only a few minutes away from the main water body. Access from the home to the dock is only a short walk and the lower outdoor area is perfect for a family gathering. Host was very responsive and accommodating.

Perfect Location
I love that this property is not close to the channel. It was very light boat traffic and no wake where the dock is which made it easy for swimming and fishing. Just an fyi for those swimming or fishing off the dock, dock is extremely hot on bare feet. Or at least it was for us, but it was over 100 degrees when we went. So keep shoes on or do what we did and spread a picnic blanket down on it so it wouldn't burn the kids.

House of Glass (Blocks)
With glass blocks used as windows, the property that zero views of the lake. Unaware that 2nd king bedroom had to be accessed by a small spiral stair case.
Overall, we enjoyed our time together, but expected more than we received.
Everything was done very well and appointed and well-stocked. I noticed little bonus things like Ziploc bags in the kitchen. Prepped and set up really great. The little things that maybe need to change are: the refrigerator downstairs does not close. I could see the light on all the time. The door hits the wood to the left. Also, these dang feral cats meowed the entire time and we worried they might jump in the door of the house. We really enjoyed our stay.

Lake view home
Gorgeous comfy home. Advertised as 4 bedroom however, only 3 bedroom with the 4th bedroom being a living room with a bed. However, very comfortable and lots of space. The deck, dock & view are the highlight of this place, a true gem. They have everything you could possibly need to hang out with the family.

Great Location
The location of the property is very secluded and private which was very nice. It is also very close to a few stores if you need anything. We enjoyed swimming,fishing, and kayaking and not having to worry a lot of boat traffic. They have lovely neighbors. We were a little disappointed that the first floor(main floor) did not have a clear view of the water. The glass block windows obscure the view. Those are shown in the listing, but I did not pay close attention that the top floor(main floor) didn’t have a balcony or direct views of the water. The deck on the lower level was nice though. Overall, we had a great time. The hosts are very friendly and quick to respond!
