Perfect for family vacation

The property was outstanding. We needed a place that could accommodate multiple adults so the rooms and bed sizes were perfect. The property was well taken care of and clean, a lot of room for our family to spread out and not be on top of each other. The dock was a short sloped walk down which was nice for our older family members. Plenty of parking for all of us. Overall 10/10 vacation rental.

Labor Day on the lake!

We had an amazing time at Smith Lake Retreat!! We had two families of 5 and were more than comfortable. There was plenty of beds and an extra apartment over the garage that was an added bonus! Everything was in order and clean. Thank you to Claire for being so sweet and answering all my questions so quick! We will definitely be back!!
