Great location
Everything the host expressed in the welcome email was accurate and appreciated. The house had more room than we expected. The dock is very nice and it was in a great location to other places on the lake. There are a decent amount of stairs to the dock but expected as this is common for smith lake. I’ve stayed in other locations where the steps to the dock were crazy and you would be exhausted by the time you got to the lake, or back to the house.

Lake house
Great location on the lake. The dock is awesome and in great shape. Loved the PWC docks. It’s a 25 ish minute drive to a public ramp to launch your own boat or PWC. The house is great, we didn’t need all the space but there are lots of places to sleep. The driveway is steep and if you have a boat trailer it’s going to be a bit of a challenge getting it tucked in at the top of the driveway, but it can be done.

Perfect Weekend Lake Retreat!
This home and place is so special. We loved that every one in our family had a space for themselves to sleep and so many spaces to just sit and be quiet, to fish, to read and relax. Night time camp fires overlooking the water and watching the night sky. The kitchen was fully stocked so that we were able to grill and cook our favorites all day. A great place to get away from it all. Beds were nice and cozy too and host was so quick to answer any questions we had while there. Highly recommend for a family/friends getaway.

We loved our stay. There was plenty of room for all 12 of us. We had everything we needed and would definitively stay again. It's one of the properties with the least amount of steps which made getting the kayak to the lake easier

Loved the View
We really enjoyed our stay at A Deck with a view. Having young married adult kids the room and bed set up worked well for us. The upstairs loft worked well for our single young adult kids. It does take a little while for the upstairs to cool down but by nighttime it was fine. The view from the screened porch was my favorite! There are 74 steps down to the water so a lot less than some of the houses we saw. Trident Marina is an 8 min drive and 5 min boat ride. The boat rental was a huge hit. The house in an older home but has lots of charm. The separate little “cottage” was perfect for my husband and I to get away from the kids since they stay up so late. I knew it didn’t have a dishwasher so I was prepared and brought lots of paper/plastic products. There are plenty of dish towels, bath towels and beach towels. All the kids commented on how comfortable the beds were. The house is not fancy but it has a great cozy feel.

Great place to get away
The house is a bit rustic but great for a quaint family/ friends getaway. We brought kayaks and paddle boards and had a great time paddling around Smith Lake and also swimming right off the dock. We were there over July 4th, and it wasn’t too crowded. The best time to paddle was, of course, early in the morning before the lake got busy with boats. The screened in back porch was wonderful for our morning coffee, and no bugs got in. Love that it’s pet friendly. I recommend bringing your own can opener. The house has both a standard coffee maker and a Keurig. Dominic was an excellent host.

This venue had wonderful lake access, decks, patios and boat slip. We had an awesome time outdoors enjoying the lake. The house had plenty of room and was cozy. The carpet could have been cleaner. The detached master suite definitely has odor problems, otherwise it was a great place to stay.

Beautiful
Our family of five had a great time here. The lake was inviting. We stayed through the week and it was very peaceful and relaxing. We spent the late afternoons in the arcade area. Had a fire and s’mores at the fire pit overlooking the lake. Our family had a great time. It’s a beautiful lake. The Only thing we’d do different, is stay longer!
