Lake Heaven!

This was by far the best stay we have experienced at Smith Lake. The views were literally breathtaking. The amenities were fantastic, and the accommodations were spacious enough to allow our large family to have their own space when they wanted it. David and Mallory were superb hosts! They paid close attention to every detail when setting up the home and even included a lovely welcome basket for us, filled with many amazing goodies!

Piece of Heaven!

We were so thankful to get to stay on this property! It was beautiful and we were so glad to have plenty of space to spread out, everyone had their own rooms and bathrooms, and there was also a great gathering space for us to all be together inside and outside. We do wish that there was coffee provided in the welcome basket, but other than that the whole stay couldn't have been better! Definitely want to return.

Perfect Location for an Awesome Fall Break!

We were so fortunate to find this delightful home for our fall break in October. The home is large and spacious and accommodated our family of 5 adults perfectly, allowing for family gathering and also affording room to spread out. From the moment we entered, we were captivated by the fabulous unobstructed lake view which was enjoyed from living spaces, porches and bedrooms. Luckily for us, the lake was still a comfortable temperature for daily swims and boating. The home has an authentic curated lake feel which we appreciated. We cooked all meals in the well appointed kitchen or on the grill. Each night we enjoyed a lakeside fire with cocktails and s’mores as we watched the gorgeous sunset. We are an active family and went on daily walks for a few miles. The hills provided good challenge which we loved. Sky Cabin gets 5 stars from our group and we especially recommend it for large families with adults!

A really special place for our first trip to Smith Lake!

We really loved our stay here. The hosts are amazing: great communication and a lovely gift basket when we arrived. The home is inviting and cozy, but quite spacious. It is perfect for 2 different families to be able to spend lots of time together, yet have privacy/separate quarters. The views from the house are magnificent, but our favorite spot was the dock. It has everything you need- and a very safe place for kids to swim, float, kayak, etc. We will definitely be back!

Family getaway

Our 2 families, totaling 13 children and adults, enjoyed a lovely getaway at this beautiful house. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Liked the layout. All the porches were fabulous and afforded gorgeous views! We cooked a good bit and the kitchen was well stocked. Comfortable beds. As nice as the house was, we spent as much time as possible on the lake and at the dock - boating, fishing, tubing, float, kayaking, sunning, snacking, and relaxing. We especially appreciated the bar area and cooler at the dock. Thanks for a wonderful stay and great communication before and during our stay. We hope to return!

Family Vaca

Skycabin was luxury at its best. The hospitality provided by the host was exceptional. The location afforded us the opportunity go boating, swimming, fishing and relaxing by the dock which was large enough to entertain the whole group. The area was much quieter than the beach and the clear water lake was beautiful. Sunsets were amazing. The cabin allowed us to gather as a gruop with additional areas to sit or swing in solitude. There was something for everyone to enjoy.
