20+ years family vacation at Smith Lake
We have been going to Smith Lake as a family for over 20 years. My husband grew up in Mississippi and was at the lake just about every weekend! We have 3 family members with lake houses, so we have a little family reunion every year.
We were very impressed with this property. Very clean and spacious. Love the short walk to the dock to swim or go on boat rides. We rented a pontoon from Duskin's Point. Loved sitting on the back porch in the morning and evening. It was super hot while we were there, so we borrowed a floor fan from our nephew. Kids loved the upstairs porch and play cards there every night.
The house is brick and shaded, which helps keep it cooler. Air conditioning was amazing as well. Loved having 2 kitchens and 2 living rooms. It gave everyone room to get away from the group and relax on their own.
The grill is charcoal and we used it several times. We had to run to Arley for charcoal and lighter fluid. Other suggestions are to take laundry detergent if you want to do some laundry. Washer and Dryer are nice, but there wasn't any detergent available.
The owner was very responsive and stopped by the house on our 1st day to mow. We loved chatting with him and getting the history of the house. It was built in 1970 by a gentleman that lived to be 98 years old. He worked for the AL Power Company. He did all the brick work himself.
We will definitely be renting this house again next year!!!
