HUGE porch, great Smith Lake views, private dock AND a great property Host!

Great hilltop view of Smith Lake with a private dock for anytime, on-site access to lake below! It’s a lovely, quiet location, has a huge front porch facing the lake AND a private dock. Sitting on that porch with a mug of coffee early in the morning, watching the mist rise from the water, seeing geese forage at lake’s edge… aahhh, what a way to start a day!

Lake Life family vacay

We absolutely had the best time at Tara King's lake house. Other than food and floats, we didn't need much else. Her home was well supplied with everything we needed for a relaxing few days with our big ol' family. House was spotless, beds were comfy and lake was a short walk away. Simply perfect. We'll be back again next year if the good Lord allows.

Great Lake house spot

It definitely looks a lot bigger on the outside. We also thought there would be 6 individual rooms so that was a little misleading, but overall we really enjoyed our stay. The outside was beautiful and the inside kitchen was perfect.

Family Fun Weekend

Overall, the experience was pleasant. Beautiful views, plenty of seating, and all the amenities that one would expect from a lake house. However, the Wi-Fi was extremely unreliable which made very difficult to watch a movie with the family.
