Nineteen family members ages 13 months to 71 years spent 4 nights at the Grand Lodge. We had a wonderful time on Smith Lake out in the water on pontoon boats and jet skis as well as fishing (caught 1 fish). Loved the dock and swimming area. The house was the perfect size and the layout was great — we especially enjoyed having the basement area for the kids to hang out. The large kitchen and eating area were great.There were a few disappointments - number one is the lack of smoke detectors - we are a family of fire fighters and this is very concerning. In addition, the Lodge was not as clean as I would have liked (crumbs dustbunnies and spider webs specifically) and there were numerous lightbulbs out all throughout the premises. When we took some dishes, pots and pans and cutlery out, they were dirty so we had to wash before using. The door from the kitchen to the deck would not stay closed unless locked and there was a screen door that wouldn’t stay closed so a squirrel came to visit! Basically, the property is beautiful but needs a deep clean and some minor repairs done. On a positive note, the AC worked great! So, overall my family gives it 4 stars and we would go again. Shout out to Squirrel’s Boat Rental and Smith Lake Marina for Jet Ski Rental!

The size of the house is wonderful and the water is wonderful. However there are some maintenance needs that need to happen in the off season. 1. The Toilets are wobbly and are prone to stopping up. 2. The air conditioning is not sufficient for the summer in Alabama. At times during the day it was up to 80 in the house and you couldn't turn the air lower than 76 at any time because it could freeze over. 3. Some kitchen Appliances were broken or struggling. The wine fridge didn't work and the kitchen fridge froze all of our vegetables and drinks. We tried to turn it up put the fridge wouldn't let us. 4. The lighting on the dock doesn't work. 5. The speakers either didn't work or the instructions were wrong 6. The carpets were badly stained in the upstairs rooms. 7. The light fixture in the living room needs new lightbulbs and a good cleaning. Lots of spiderwebs. 8. Water pressure in the master bath was low. It is a nice house and it fit what we were doing. However it could have been amazing and you could charge more than a 1000.00 a night if you fixed those few maintenance problems. The kitchen serving ware and other appliances were great. The grill was great. The dock during the day was good. Huge house and the game area was fun. But the air conditioning is a major deterrent.
