Great house with lots of space for a big gathering. Beautiful views and very peaceful. 2nd time at the house and would recommend it to anyone. Driveway is a bit intimidating, but worth it.

Beautiful Fall Getaway
This our second time at this property over Thanksgiving. The fall color is gorgeous this time of year. Well-stocked and tons of space for our family of ten. The only downside of this house is that it is a little hard to get to- over an hour from the highway, and the steep gravel road is unnerving the first time. No cell reception but the WiFi is great. Lots of great hiking around (though it does require 30-40 minutes of driving for most of it).

Arley at the Pittman’s lake house
We had a wonderful time. This house has 3 levels of rooms so great for 3-4 separate families staying together. The driveway getting back up almost requires 4 wheel drive especially if it had been rainy. No more than 5 vehicles can park and maneuver around the other. It is clean but it’s also in need of a deep cleaning (Like cob webs being knocked down, dusting the trim on the staircases and ceiling fans). A house that size probably needs a deep cleaning quarterly or at least twice during prime season. We would definitely recommend this place.

Wonderful place to gather with friends.
This house is so beautiful and its location on Smith Lake has gorgeous views. We had a total of 15 people for the weekend and there was plenty of room to spread out. You can see that everything about the house and the property is well taken care of. The driveway was VERY steep but we were still able to carefully fit 8 cars close to the house. The open spaces on all 3 floors made it easy for everyone to spend time together. You can eat, drink, cook, watch TV, play pool or foosball, games OR hang our on one of the 3 beautiful decks to overlook the lake. I'm sure there's even more to do when the weather is hot and you can take advantage of the lake. It rained most of our visit but that didn't hinder us in the least from having a blast. I highly recommend staying here!

Coach’s 60th
We brought together men that hadn’t seen each other in 30 years to celebrate our beloved HS football coaches 60th birthday. The house made this get together by far more than we could have expected. Plenty of space and well kept plus just wow the views!! We were treated with the best weather and ample space to spread out and have room to catch up. We definitely talked about a return trip to this beautiful place and thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven.

Wonderful time together; billiards, foosball and lake!
This house is really wonderful. It is light and airy, with amazing windows, lovely decks, high ceilings and well laid out spaces. We had a crew of 11 ranging from 10 to 85, and everyone loved the house and the dock. The spaces in the house are really nicely laid out, with plenty of places for people to go read a book or enjoy the view, yet nicely constructed so that people naturally came together in the 3 main social spaces, especially the ground floor kitchen/living room. Having 2 en suite rooms (master and another) on the main floor was fantastic, as we had 2 different people with knee injuries. We did a lot of cooking, and the kitchen is well laid out and spacious. The only improvement we would recommend would be more plates, cups and flatware, and a slightly longer dining room table with 2-3 more chairs, so plates and seating match the bed count. However, it all worked out, so long as we stayed on top of the dishes. The dock had lots of toys available for renters, and we really enjoyed the lilypad, paddle boards and kayaks. Neighbors were all very nice, as well. Overall, this was one of our favorate Smith lake rentals, ever. We have already re-booked for next year.

Perfect Family Lake Trip
My family rents a lake house every summer for vacation, and we had a wonderful time at this property. The layout of the home is perfect for multiple families, the kitchen is fully stocked, and there were plenty of water toys (kayaks, paddle boards, floats, etc.) made available for all. The large pier is located in a beautiful secluded cove, so we had very little boat traffic. It was like having the lake all to ourselves. Also, the owner was very responsive to our pre-trip inquiries. My family is already planning the date to return to this property next year. Thanks for a great vacation!!

Great Stay for Big Group
Great stay. House was clean and new. It had three levels to break up families staying together easier. Wonderful lake with life jackets, floaties, and such provided. The temperature was hard to regulate. It was too warm on the 3rd floor and freezing on the bottom. Even with 2 units, it was hard to get everyone comfortable at once. The gravel road to get there and the driveway was extremely steep and super intimidating. Five cars made it with no issues, but I wouldn’t let an inexperienced driver do it.

I hosted a retreat for pastors’ wives here. We had a wonderful time. The home is so great for a large group. There is so much space and the setting is beautiful. The driveway is a challenge but it’s manageable going slow and steady. Five cars can park down by the house, if parked strategically, and others can park at the top of the driveway. Daniel was a perfect host. He was so very gracious to us and responded very quickly to any needs. I would definitely stay here again.

Family Gathering
The main things that drew us to this location was the number of people that it accommodates in bedrooms and access to the lake. The house is well supplied. It is a beautiful location to just enjoy being together with family. As noted by others, the biggest drawback is access to the house.

Perfect family house!
My family and siblings, along with their families, stayed here while we were in the area for our brothers wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a better set up. The kitchen was stocked extremely well, and there was plenty of space for all of us. The views and boat house were amazing. We’d definitely stay here, if in the area again.

Great House for Large Groups!
We had a great time at Daniel's lake house. The house is huge, with ample room for large groups due to the living room/common area/tv on each of the 3 floors - this was really great during our college football season visit. The week we arrived, new Fiber internet had been installed so in spite of the lack of cell service, everyone was able to stay connected. The driveway is steep, as others have noted, but taking it slow is the way to go. Can't wait to be back next year.

Excellent Accommodations
This was one of the most enjoyable places I have ever stayed. The only slight minus (that I know the owner has no control over) is spotty internet service. Perhaps boosters or enhancers placed in each of the three floors of the house for the internet may help that. But I am no geek squad kind of guy - so that may not work. At any rate, waht a great place for a fmaily gathering!!!!
