About this property

Suntime Cottage - Lake Front House on Smith Lake with Hot Tub & Boat Rental

  • Relax by the lake, swim, play ping-pong, soak in the hot tub, make s’mores by the fire pit, or fall asleep on the porch swing. This charming lakeside getaway on Smith Lake has fun for all seasons!

    This house is family-friendly with spaces for all ages. Suntime Cottage consists of two levels with screened-in porches and multiple decks. The main level has a living room and full kitchen with all of the kitchen equipment and tools you may need. On the top deck outside of the kitchen, you will have access to a Blackstone Grill and a large outdoor dining space. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are also located on this floor, including rooms with queen and king sized beds. Both have memory foam mattresses. The screened-in porch on the main level contains another dining area and a porch bed swing with a twin memory foam mattress. The main level is on the same level as parking and easily accessible.

    The bottom level is perfect for younger family members. The downstairs living room is equipped with a big screen TV, DVD player, cozy seating, a reading nook, toys, blocks, Legos, and tons of classic movies from the 1980s and 1990s. The laundry room, another full bathroom, and third bedroom with two full beds are also on this level. The downstairs screened-in porch has direct access to the remaining decks and hot tub. Unlike many properties on Smith Lake, Suntime Cottage has easy access to its dock, requiring renters to walk only a few steps to the Lake.

    Among the other amenities identified in this listing, the following are also included in your stay at Suntime Cottage:

    1. DOCK & WATER TOYS: Water toys, kayaks, a Lily Pad floating island, a paddle board, canoe, blow-up boats, and other floats are available for your use along with a variety of life jackets.

    2. INTERNET

    3. HOT TUB: The hot tub can sit 6 individuals and is available for use.

    4. GAMES, TOYS, MOVIES & DVDs: Suntime is very family-friendly and has a wide variety of toys, movies, and board games available for your use and enjoyment, including Ping-Pong, Legos, blocks, Cornhole, and many others.

    5. BLACKSTONE GRILL & FULLY STOCKED KITCHEN

    6. ELECTRIC FIREPLACE

    7. FIRE PIT

    8. BOAT RENTAL DELIVERY TO DOCK: If you are interested in renting a boat, then please contact Smith Lake Boating Adventures, LLC for boat rentals and tell them we sent you. From April to the beginning of August (at peak lake water levels), Smith Lake Boating can DELIVER your boat rental directly TO SUNTIME'S DOCK for your use.

    ____________________________________________

    Below is additional information that may be helpful for your stay:

    LAKE WATER LEVELS: Smith Lake water levels rise and drop throughout the year, and Suntime Cottage is on seasonal water. We generally have full lake water access from March to the beginning of August. At some point in early to mid August, the water levels recede and the dock will no longer float. However, the water can still be accessed via the stone path in the listing pictures. If you have any questions about this, please message the owner.

    FALL/WINTER: The fall and winter are some of the best times on the lake. Although the water level recedes, the lake is still accessible from the dock and provides ample opportunity for exploration (especially for children). You can walk along the lake edge, explore the surrounding lake bed, fish, paddle board, or even swim a little. These days are often best when finished with s'mores at the fire pit and a dip in the hot tub.

    ARROWHEAD PARK: Arrowhead Park is across the street, facing Suntime. You can use the beautiful walking and bike paths year-round and access Arrowhead's boat launch during peak season if needed.

Really enjoyed my stay here. Everything was clean and as decribed. The hot tub was nice and the short distance to walk to the lake was a big bonus. I also enjoyed the blackstone grill to cook the meals.

Our family of 7 loved the house and all the extras that provided. We enjoyed playing games, sitting on the porch swing, and hanging out on the deck wishing all the water toys. The host went above and beyond to provide an excellent experience. Everything you need was able to be able to use! Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at this lake house! The home is incredibly comfortable, with every detail thoughtfully considered. From the décor to the layout, everything feels beautifully put together and designed to make guests feel right at home. It’s clear the owners put a lot of care into creating a welcoming, well-appointed rental. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again!

Incredibly clean. Love the setup in this cabin. The bed porch swing is amazing for relaxing , along with the hot tub. We will def be back. Only thing I could possibly recommend is a tv somewhere upstairs as well.

A truly incredible experience at the Suntime Cottage!! The house had everything you could ask for in a lake house which made our stay so relaxing. Impeccably clean, several amenities and beautifully located. Mornings sipping coffee on the deck or lounging in the swings, afternoons sunbathing on the dock and evenings eating dinner in the screened in deck by candlelight made our stay so enjoyable and memorable. My sisters and I were provided ample information from the host regarding directions, access to the house, cell service, groceries, and so much more to make sure our stay was enjoyable. She hit it out of the park!!! Thank you

The senary was breath taking. The house reminded me of my Mamaw's house, very warm and inviting, it felt like home away from home. The Hot tub was a nice touch after a long day, very relaxing. The location was not to far from restaurants or the grocery store. The host were also very helpful and responsive with any questions I had. There was plenty for the kids to do as well, although it was too cold this trip, they offer kayaks and paddle boards, a boat during summer time. There was also the hot tub of course, a big TV for family movie night, and also a ping pong table too. They also have a twin size memory foam day bed swing on the porch, which is perfect for those mid day naps, or at the end of the day where you only hear the crickets in the distance. Very peaceful and quiet, it was more than relaxing, it was overall a wonderful stay, and we would love to come back next year!!!

We were in the Smith Lake area for a family wedding. How fortunate we were to find Suntime Cottage! It was December, but that didn't matter, Suntime is a charming and cozy cottage with super comfortable beds and a great little kitchen! I like to cook and am often disappointed by kitchens when we travel, but not this one--it has everything you need.My granddaughter and I really enjoyed the "sleeping swing" on the screened-in porch where we snuggled under a blanket and had a great chat. Downstairs, we watched movies on the big TV. Suntime has games for families: We had several rounds of Yahtzee and Uno after the wedding. Staying up until we were all yawning too much to play more.Maurine and Zach are wonderful hosts! So prompt to respond when we had questions, and kind and understanding when I accidentally set off the smoke alarm. (Never cook bacon without turning on the vent fan over the stove first.)We definitely want to come back!
