We found Decked Out just as described on VRBO. It is a gorgeous home with beautiful views of the lake. We enjoyed the deck space and the fire pit area. Plenty of space in the home. The teenagers and adults loved the game room area. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and dishes and the beds were very comfortable. Great place to stay with family and friends.
Lake time is relaxing!

Great property for family

This lake house is awesome in all ways for your family. Quiet, clean, fun and the host was available for any questions we had. The double deck dock was a hit with the kids as well as the paddle boards provided. Lots of life vests of all sizes also provided. I will stay here every time I visit Smith Lake.

Amazing house and location

It was a beautiful house and the lake was wonderful. So clean and inviting. Boat rentals were easy and we spent a lot of time on the lake and jumping off the double decker dock. Downstairs was was a perfect place for our teenagers to have their own retreat.

Great Place for a Family Summer Vacation

This place was great for our family vacation. The house is wonderful, and the new decks and the double decker dock are truly outstanding. And the lake was great, it was deep, clean and during the week, it had very little boat traffic.

Our family had a great time in this remote gorgeous spot on the lake. In the morning we had our coffee overlooking the tranquil glass like lake (except on the weekend), in the afternoon we went swimming in the exceptionally clean water and reflection
