About this property
Camp Mayla: 3BR peaceful lake house with vintage style plus a TREEHOUSE Escape!
- Beautiful Smith Lake is waiting for you at this 3-bedroom house. Inside, guests find 2 king beds, 2 twin bunks and 2 full bunks, 2 twin sleeper chairs, and 2 queen sofa beds perfect for a restful night. The home features 3.5 bathrooms, with luxury showers/baths to refresh after a day of adventure. With heating and AC, an indoor/outdoor fireplace, and a fire pit, comfort is always within reach. Camp Mayla proudly displays a vintage summer camp style, invoking nostalgic memories for our adult guests and creating new ones for our younger guests. Best of all, we have a custom treehouse escape on the inlet, perfect for young adventurers or a slow cup of coffee!
We have a fully stocked kitchen with two coffee makers and a pour-over, as well as a campfire coffee stove for the super outdoorsy. There are plenty of board games and children’s toys, including water toys such as lily pad, water floats, canoe, and a kayak. We sit on old Crow's Nest, one of the best fishing spots in Smith Lake! The dock is great for swimming, fishing and/or just hanging out on the water! Incomparable sunsets and wildlife observation. Lake living at its very finest! Boat and jetski rentals are close by!
Although it will sleep more in beds, our limit is very strictly a max of 12 people, unless prior agreed to in writing. This is NOT an event venue and treating it as such you will be asked to leave immediately, with no exceptions.
This terrific house invites you to unwind and enjoy your time away. Indoor and outdoor fireplaces as well as a fire pit by the lake demand for you to slow down and spend time with your loved ones. Our place is equipped for both long or short stays to make your holiday one to remember.
This property has “seasonal” water levels due to Smith Lake Dam, which means water levels vary throughout the year.
January - March: Water levels low, but good for fishing, kayaking, or canoeing.
April - July: Water levels full. Good for boating and swimming, fishing, kayaking, or canoeing.
August - September: Water levels lower, but good for swimming, fishing, kayaking, or canoeing.
October - December: Water levels low, but good for fishing, kayaking, or canoeing.
