Most Amazing Smith Lake Stay Yet!

We were absolutely blown away by this property from the moment we arrived. The neighborhood is serene and so nice, and this property is absolutely stunning. From the beautiful decor to the amazing lake views, this property was, by far, the best we’ve ever stayed at on Smith Lake. We had 14 family members from 3 different households, and there was plenty of room for all of us to spread out and be comfortable. The outdoor space was our favorite part - the upper deck, lower level patio, screened-in porch, and the dock were all SO well-furnished and the perfect setup for spending the majority of our time outside enjoying the lake views. A couple of minor issues arose with one of the toilets and the ice maker, but Fiona was SO responsive and immediately addressed them. To say we were happy with our stay is an understatement. Typically, we are underwhelmed at properties that appear grander in pictures and online, but do not quite live up to the advertised grandeur when we arrive - this property was absolutely the exception as the pictures online simply do not do it justice. Thank you for an amazing stay and for the wonderful memories we made at Smith Lake.

Such a great home!

I am so glad we rented this house. 11 of us stayed here for a week. There was plenty of room, the beds were super comfy, the kitchen had all the supplies we needed to cook with all week, the dock had plenty of chairs and lounge seats, and the views!! I can’t say enough about this place. Fiona was quick to answer any questions we had. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

First Smith Lake Vacay

We are a lake family and this was our first trip to Smith Lake. Heron's Haven is a wonderful place to stay. Very spacious and designed for large crowd comfort. Loved the large island, pantry storage, and ample seating for dining or lounging inside and out on the two porches. Delightful breeze and fabulous pier for boats and big kid toys. Decided Heron's Haven had everything when we found a sewing kit in the miscellaneous drawer to remove a splinter! Thanks Fiona and David for a wonderful week.

Great week at Smith Lake

Our entire family had a wonderful week relaxing, swimming, skiing and just enjoying the views of the lake. The home is beautiful and we all had room to spread out. The kitchen was wonderful and we took turns cooking and baking. We had several meals on the porch, which is beautiful and has plenty of room for everybody. We hope to return next summer and do the same exact thing again :o)

Best views on the lake!!!

My family loved the lake house, and the location on the lake. The house was beautiful, with wonderful views. The boat dock was set up for fun in the sun or family game night. It was also great place to fish. I would recommend this house for anyone looking to rent lake house.

Amazing Lake House

We have stayed at a lot of homes at Smith Lake. This one has the best porches you can find!! The views are spectacular. The home was so clean and has everything you need! The boat dock was perfect for watching the sunset and fishing and enjoying the beeeze. We ate dinners outside on the upper porch and listed to the windchime. It was so relaxing. TV’s in every room we used. It was perfect. We loved the fire on the fall evenings in the house too. Full surround sound speakers on the porches and inside the home! We will be back. Rocky springs community is wonderful. We went running every morning on the loop that’s in the neighborhood. Book your stay now!!!

Great location

Pros…Location! In reality (not the pics) the house is nice but it needs some TLC in the outside areas. Nicely decorated and previous renters over time, like myself have left the basic kitchen spices to get you started. Cons… Chair cushions definitely need some replacement. It’s not the owners fault on this one but internet service sucks even with the extenders. That’s just a negative of staying far from civilization. Hope you like TNT cause that’s all you’ll be watching in the upstairs spare bedroom. Lol. The downstairs master, never got that one to work. Oh well we didn’t come to watch much tv anyways. A big con would be the cleanliness of the home. Initially you’ll think it’s fine but give it 10 minutes. The microwave and the oven was deplorable! Dishes left in dishwasher. You could write your name on the dust of the bases of the lamps in the home…we did or just the not dusted things period. Dead bugs in kitchen drawers, ring in upstairs bathroom toilet, a lot of random things. If this was my home I’d find me a new cleaning crew. We’re overpaying for the job they’re doing.

Family Reunion 2022

This is a well decorated lake house that had plenty of space for the 12 of us, 7 adults and 5 grandkids. Everything mentioned on the VRBO site was there. A number of items didn't work properly. For example, the pans for the induction range are old and were very difficult to clean, and some items in the home were broken. We did our best to fix what we could, and with the help of Fiona (the manager/owner) we were able to get some issues resolved quickly. With proper housekeeping, the basement drain wouldn't have backed up with every shower, and the foul smell from the septic system (which was easy to fix once the owners knew about it) would have never been an issue. Also, the Traeger grill would have been cleaned. With all that said, we'd still rent this home again if we were planning on going to Smith Lake. The home and dock were fantastic for our group, and Fiona did everything we asked for. Terry & Nancy

Family Fun!

Our family gets together every summer to relax and have fun. We celebrated a 30th birthday at the lake house, grilled out, went out on a pontoon boat, wake boarded, went tubing and just relaxed in the water. We have stayed at many VRBO rentals (at the lake, beach, mountains). This BY FAR was the most well stocked!! From linens to kitchen supplies. We had the best time being together. The views are amazing and the area is so quiet, a perfect place to relax. The one problem that we had was with our garbage. There were 2 large cans (that were already full we got there because the garbage only runs on Monday). We ended up having to load our garbage in our truck and bring it home with us.
