We had a great stay! Check in was super easy and kitchen facilities met all our needs. Clean. Close to Smith Lake Park for ramp access. Highly recommended for adults. Would have given 5 stars but the second story height deck was not safe for children. Horizontal wires were too far apart. We had to continually remind our 8 y/o and 4y/o to stay away from the edge for fear they could slip through the wires.

Best vacation!
We had a family of 10 staying at Carols Cottage, we had plenty of room. The boys played on the dock even after getting off the boat! And there is no telling how many times they jumped off the top deck! They enjoyed moving rocks to see how tall they could stack them up! The water is some of the cleanest we have seen(being from Mississippi). The house had everything we needed from the kitchen to the bathroom! We loved the wood floors! Beds were comfortable! We enjoyed the deck and the windows looking over the lake! Very relaxing the best vacation we have been on in a while! We did bring all groceries and took sandwiches out on the boat! So we didn’t have to leave other than to go out on the boat. We definitely stay here again!
