This house is really wonderful. It is light and airy, with amazing windows, lovely decks, high ceilings and well laid out spaces. We had a crew of 11 ranging from 10 to 85, and everyone loved the house and the dock. The spaces in the house are really nicely laid out, with plenty of places for people to go read a book or enjoy the view, yet nicely constructed so that people naturally came together in the 3 main social spaces, especially the ground floor kitchen/living room. Having 2 en suite rooms (master and another) on the main floor was fantastic, as we had 2 different people with knee injuries. We did a lot of cooking, and the kitchen is well laid out and spacious. The only improvement we would recommend would be more plates, cups and flatware, and a slightly longer dining room table with 2-3 more chairs, so plates and seating match the bed count. However, it all worked out, so long as we stayed on top of the dishes. The dock had lots of toys available for renters, and we really enjoyed the lilypad, paddle boards and kayaks. Neighbors were all very nice, as well. Overall, this was one of our favorate Smith lake rentals, ever. We have already re-booked for next year.
