Pros…Location! In reality (not the pics) the house is nice but it needs some TLC in the outside areas. Nicely decorated and previous renters over time, like myself have left the basic kitchen spices to get you started. Cons… Chair cushions definitely need some replacement. It’s not the owners fault on this one but internet service sucks even with the extenders. That’s just a negative of staying far from civilization. Hope you like TNT cause that’s all you’ll be watching in the upstairs spare bedroom. Lol. The downstairs master, never got that one to work. Oh well we didn’t come to watch much tv anyways. A big con would be the cleanliness of the home. Initially you’ll think it’s fine but give it 10 minutes. The microwave and the oven was deplorable! Dishes left in dishwasher. You could write your name on the dust of the bases of the lamps in the home…we did or just the not dusted things period. Dead bugs in kitchen drawers, ring in upstairs bathroom toilet, a lot of random things. If this was my home I’d find me a new cleaning crew. We’re overpaying for the job they’re doing.

Beautiful detail throughout the house. Fantastic location and lake frontage. Dock area nicest I’ve ever seen. Gotta get the pontoon and jet ski to complete the experience.

This is a well decorated lake house that had plenty of space for the 12 of us, 7 adults and 5 grandkids. Everything mentioned on the VRBO site was there. A number of items didn't work properly. For example, the pans for the induction range are old and were very difficult to clean, and some items in the home were broken. We did our best to fix what we could, and with the help of Fiona (the manager/owner) we were able to get some issues resolved quickly. With proper housekeeping, the basement drain wouldn't have backed up with every shower, and the foul smell from the septic system (which was easy to fix once the owners knew about it) would have never been an issue. Also, the Traeger grill would have been cleaned. With all that said, we'd still rent this home again if we were planning on going to Smith Lake. The home and dock were fantastic for our group, and Fiona did everything we asked for. Terry & Nancy

Very happy with our choice

Our family gets together every summer to relax and have fun. We celebrated a 30th birthday at the lake house, grilled out, went out on a pontoon boat, wake boarded, went tubing and just relaxed in the water. We have stayed at many VRBO rentals (at the lake, beach, mountains). This BY FAR was the most well stocked!! From linens to kitchen supplies. We had the best time being together. The views are amazing and the area is so quiet, a perfect place to relax. The one problem that we had was with our garbage. There were 2 large cans (that were already full we got there because the garbage only runs on Monday). We ended up having to load our garbage in our truck and bring it home with us.

You will not regret renting this lovely home. So many things about the property make it a perfect place to get away to. I was amazed at the cleanliness of the property, the wonderful location for walking, and the proximity to the water. There is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and a variety of areas to sit and take in the lake views! Perfect!

There was numerous spider webs and spiders on the porches and also on the boat dock but other than that it is a very clean and spacious place for a family vacation and Smith Lake is absolutely beautiful we will go back.

The house was perfect. We loved sitting on the porch in the morning, drinking coffee and the overall comfort of the home.

We enjoyed this house so much! The house was spotless and organized. The location was perfect and dock has plenty of water floats, 2 kayaks, and extra life jackets. Owner was so kind and responsive whenever we had a question. We are so happy we chose this house for our family getaway and cannot wait to come back!

We had a wonderful time. The home was gorgeous with everything we needed. The porches were relaxing and the bird feeders were a joy to watch. Loved the boat dock, hung out there all day while relaxing, reading and swimming. I would recommend this property.

The kitchen supplies were top notch. Impressed with everything you needed even great knives! I do travel with my own knives and Keurig coffee pot!. Each bedroom was so nice. It fit my family needs perfectly. The inflatable kayaks work wonderful for our grandchildren. I even ordered one for my own. Such a beautiful house and setting! I can only say great things about this house and the owner.

We loved Heron’s Haven. Great location, enjoyed a beautiful sunset every night. The dock and back porch was where we hung out most of our days and nights. We had family members ranging from ages 6 to 86 and it was perfect for all. We had a treat Thursday and Friday in seeing the fighter jets pass over. Fiona was an awesome host. Great place for QFT (Quality Family Time).

Beautiful house and great location!
