Very relaxing vacation

House was very clean and had everything we needed. Owner reached out to make sure we arrived and to let us know he was available for any questions or concerns. House is in convenient location for grocery shopping and eating out.

In July 2025 we had a wonderful stay Surfside Cottage. The owner was very easy to work with and always quick to respond. We made full use of the entire property including the hot tub, fire pit and mostly the lake. We had rented a pontoon boat for four days and the the dock was perfect for docking the boat at night. We will definitely be returning to Smith Mt Lake and would definitely return to this property. My only comment is, the dock could use a little TLC (needs painting). Overall we had an amazing time.

Lake cottage

Had a great stay. Everything was as advertised and was perfect for our 2 dogs. A quiet neighborhood with dock/lake access. We used the kayaks and the outdoor deck the most. Amy was very responsive and had no problems.

Great location

Property was exactly as pictured. Loved the open floor plan. Great location and being able to get to places on or off the water. Amy was always readily available if anything arose. My favorite area was the front porch which was covered and I loved sitting out there and listening or watching it rain. Also could get to the dock rather easily with the house being close to the water. Would definitely stay here again!

Exactly what I needed

My family and I spent the week at Surfside and couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The owner (John) was very communicative and easily accessible. The accommodations were perfect for the goal of our vacation, to relax. The house is located at the end of a cove and had no traffic other than the next door neighbor, which we only saw in the weekend. The deck was my favorite part. Waking up to enjoy a cup of coffee while sitting on the outdoor furniture was perfection. Lastly, I truly appreciated the attention to detail through the property. Small things such as bags, Tupperware, and seasonings were all provided. That is such a blessing as I inevitably forget something basic on trips. I will definitely be staying again!
