Holiday Getaway
Time Out of Mind is very remote; and once off the main road, it’s very rough with potholes. BUT you arrive at a house that sits on the bank of the MOST picturesque little creek you could ever imagine. Even in winter we enjoyed the kayaks. Restaurants are few and far between, so be prepared; and you’ll probably want to bring your own favorite cookware. Also, bring your favorite family games, and you can truly put “time out of mind”.

Perfect Lake Retreat
Lovely property with awesome dock, great game room, beautiful landscaping, big deck and screened in porch. This house has everything you need. We roasted marshmallows at the fire pit, swam, boated, and played games. The owner is so accommodating and responsive. He helped us with all our requests. We’ll definitely rent this house again!

Best of the best!
Our group rents on smith lake all the time and this house is my favorite for many reasons! Great location- less traffic on the water, beautiful around the house and not a bad walk to the water. House itself- fully stocked linens closet that accommodates extras and makes you comfortable, all bedrooms were wonderful, 2 full kitchens, screened in porch!!! Stocked kitchen, air conditioning for each floor that worked perfectly, huge dining table that we were used nightly, pool table, beautiful view. Owners- super easy to deal with. We will def be back to this one!!! Bonus-Plus, we rented jet skis & pontoon from Bum Jett Ski Rentals- they delivered to nearest boat ramp which was in our neighborhood!

Very nice stay
We had a very nice stay. Weather could have been better but it's a short walk to the dock so we enjoyed what we could. The area is very remote which was nice for swimming and floating around. There are some areas too that you can dock a boat or kayak and get out to explore. The house was great. Perfect size for all of us. The out door speakers really came in handy for football days and playing on the dock.

Fabulous lake house for our Extended Family
This lake house was perfect for meeting our family/cousins for Labor Day weekend. The cousin kids loved sleeping in the bunk room. The dock and swimming area was perfect for floating. We rented a pontoon boat and had a blast exploring this unique lake. The house has everything any large group would need. The owner was very responsive to our questions and accommodating. We will definitely rent here again! Loved the screen porch and the game room.

Great Lake house
We enjoyed our stay at Time Out of Mind! House is as described. Everything you need is included. We shuttled 32 folks in and out over a week. 1st had a birthday party, then the girls high school basketball team stayed a few days for their 2nd annual End of Summer Trip, then another side of the family came in. When we had the 14 girls there- we had more than plenty of room! This house has the biggest/best washer dryer ever! Every few days I was washing bedding before a new group came in… it held several sets of sheets at a time! Having an oven downstairs and upstairs helped when cooking for large groups! A few negatives I can say, was driving in on a gravel road getting the boat dirty…but, most homes around the lake are on gravel roads. Last negative was being far out from marinas- it’s a 30 minute boat ride to either Lakeshore or Duncan Bridge… But, a small price to pay for a great trip!
