About this cottage rental

Tucked away at the end of a quiet, private cove on beautiful Smith Lake, this charming vintage cottage offers the perfect blend of peace, nature, and classic lake-life charm. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a fishing trip, or a relaxing weekend with friends, this is a place to truly unplug and unwind.

The cottage features 4 cozy bedrooms with plenty of space for everyone to spread out comfortably (2 king beds, 3 full beds, and 1 twin). Warm, inviting spaces and lake views create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that feels like home the moment you arrive.

Just 14 steps from the back door, you’ll find your private dock, ideal for fishing, swimming, or launching a kayak. Smith Lake is known for its excellent fishing, and the calm waters of the cove make it especially peaceful and family-friendly. We provide 4 kayaks (2 adult and 2 child-sized) so guests of all ages can explore the lake at their own pace. Bringing a boat? You’re welcome to bring your own or rent one nearby—there’s an easy marina launch and room to dock right at the cottage.

After a day on the water, gather around the lakeside fire pit and enjoy quiet evenings under the stars, listening to the gentle sounds of the lake. It’s the kind of setting that invites slow mornings, long conversations, and memories you’ll want to come back to.

Good to know: Like many Smith Lake properties, the cottage is accessed by a .2-mile inclined driveway. It’s a bit of a trek—but the privacy, peaceful setting, and lakefront experience make it well worth it.

If you’re looking for a tranquil Smith Lake escape with great fishing, calm waters, and true cottage charm, this is the place!

The house was very cute and clean. The beds were super comfortable. Everyone in my family slept great! The only issue we had was there was not enough room to turn a truck and trailer around, and my daughter couldn’t get back up the hill in her GMC Terrain. She had to be towed up the hill. I would still give this house a 5 star rating based off cleanliness and coziness of the home, location on the lake, and super attentive owner! I would stay here again, but park any vehicles pulling boats, jet skis, etc at the Smith Lake Park!

It was a very beautiful and peaceful place . Very well maintained and several things that we didn’t expect that were provided. Just when you get close to the place on Google pay attention because it actually has you pass the turn in u less you are really paying attention. We love the place .

The cottage was as described, however, a bit deceiving. Some of the doors on the bedrooms need replacing. (It’s a cheap fix) Unfortunately, we experienced a few days of rain while we were there, We would have loved to have been able to sit out on the porches to enjoy the lake but were unable to do this due to the fact that the porches are not covered. So, if it’s raining, you are stuck inside. There were some extras though. Like spices, xtra paper towels, dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, oils, salt & pepper, coffee pods, coffee filters ect.
