This is a beautiful, peaceful retreat for winter, spring, or summer. Whether sitting out under the overhead string lights at night or on one of the many decks, this house has an awesome view of Smith Lake to enjoy from the deck, living room, or screened-in porch! It is conveniently located near Smith Lake Park, Speegle's Marina, Smith Lake Zipline, Slippery Summit Aqua Park, WildWater Park (slides, wavepool, etc), Whitlock's Cafe, 2 produce stands, other restaurants, & only 6 miles from I-65, Exit 305 (County Road 222).

There is also a boat ramp 1/4 mile from the Whitehouse to launch your boats for a $5 donation (put in box).

Great place and close to town
This rental has everything that you will need when staying on the lake. Kayaks, life jackets, and paddle board were all provided. All of the cooking materials that you could need along with some basic spices. The grounds are beautiful and the house sleeps a lot people comfortably. The owner was very responsive with any questions. They even provide some snacks and basic essentials such as toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, soap, etc… i highly recommend this rental.

Great Property, Wonderful Hospitality
Host was incredibly communicative and accommodating - very easy to work with and very responsive. The property was very clean, not a single complaint there. The house comes with a full entertainment room - fooseball, pool, darts - what’s not to love? Also enjoyed the kayaks. Water access is very easy with a nice dock and level ground to push off from. Great property, would definitely be a repeat customer.

Family friendly, close to places.
We enjoyed our stay at the Whitehouse and our very first time on Smith Lake! The house had everything we needed in the kitchen. The grill(s) cooked well also. The game room was a hit, especially with the kids. Very clean, homey feel. All the kids slept on the couch (instead of bunk beds one night) and said the couch was super comfy to sleep on. Plenty of room for our party of 13. We used the fire pit for s’mores one night until we couldn’t take the heat outside any longer! Smith lake was absolutely beautiful and we can not wait to return! Would definitely recommend staying here. Owners were super easy to communicate with, even checked on us during our stay, and left some yummy snacks for us.

Talk about equipped!
The Whitehouse was a great place to call home away from home. The house was very well equipped. The amount of towels and washcloths available to our group was soooo very helpful. The kitchen is very well stocked. The beds were all comfortable. We loved having access to a washer and dryer and would’ve utilized the second set as well with our group if it hadn’t been broken by a previous renter. We enjoyed the game room and the kayaks. Communication with Sherry was great and she was more than happy to answer all of my questions and offer recommendations. Thank you for having nice toilet paper! 😂 My only recommendation would be to have the cleaning staff turn the air down to around 70 earlier in the day before guests check in. It was warm in the house and hot in the game room when we arrived and took all of the first day and some of the night to lower the temp enough in both areas to be comfortable.

Great Weekend Getaway
We went with 3 family’s with kids ranging 2-12 and had a great time! The white house was the perfect stay for us! Darrell and Sherry were so helpful and quick to respond. The only downside was the water was a little muddy here, but bc the water level was low at this time. But ours kids didn’t mind at all because they would “turtle hunt”.
