Summary: This was our first trip to Smith Lake and we certainly got lucky when we chose this rental. It was exceptional in every way. Fabulous location! Very easy access to the dock, cozy and comfortable living space that was very well appointed. The host was very responsive. I recommend highly, without reservation.

Summary: Was a great place for our family. We were in town for the Bassmaster fishing tournament. We were able to leave our bass boat in the water which made our stay that much enjoyable. The house is very cute with all the necessary accommodations

Summary: I had such a lovely stay at the Lillypad! Entry was seamless and everything was extremely clean- not to mention beautifully decorated! I was greeted with complimentary wine, chocolate, popcorn and a lovely sunset over the lake that I could view from windows lining the back of the house. This was the perfect scene for a quiet retreat. I took the kayak out on the water, sat by the fire pit, and read in the cozy living room. I even ventured into Cullman (about 30 Minutes away) for a delicious dinner at 412 Public House. (It also looks like a great brewery and pizza place will be opening close by soon.) It was a lovely stay, and I’m thankful for how accommodating and communicative Meredith And Brandon were. I will definitely be back!

Summary: Overall everything was wonderful & felt like home! Loved that there were items like shampoo, coffee creamer, sugar, a few groceries & plenty of dishes/plastic spoons & forks! Also loved that there were plenty of towels, washcloths & toilet paper! I didn’t feel like we went without anything on this trip! The porch had acorns & leaves but they’re constantly falling this time of year so it would be difficult to do anything about it! Plan to be back!

Summary: The little house is precious and very comfortable. It was clean and had everything we needed for a long weekend. There were a couple of things that need addressing. These are minor and owner may not be aware. Wine opener is broke and needs to be replaced. The chairs on the dock deck are broke as well and need replacing. We didn’t bring any chairs with us. The only other thing was that the patios and decks were not cleaned before we got there. Trash was under the chairs as well as leaves and limbs that needed blowing off to freshen up the outside. Like I said minor and we would’ve blown everything off but we didn’t have a blower to use. It really is a cute place and we will rent again in the future.

Summary: Property was well appointed and the property description was spot on! The dock, the lily pad float, and the kayak were great. Easy to access from Madison, Alabama (an hour and a half). It was just what the doctor ordered!

Summary: I spent a long weekend with my best friends here and it was perfect! The house had everything we needed, and it was clean and comfortable with cute decor. My favorite part was the outdoor setup; we spent the majority of our time floating on the lily pad! It was a great weekend with friends!
