Long weekend

The house was very clean, and fairly easy to find. Our main complaint was a lack of comfortable seating for everyone in one area. There is not a living room or seating room with enough comfortable seating for 6 people.

The perfect lake house

This was our second stay at this beautiful lake house. The two bedrooms on the main level each have private access to the deck and both have wonderful views. The deck and porch swings are perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view. Beds are comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. I would definitely recommend this home!

What an incredible place!

This house was amazing! Not only was it so fun and relaxing for everyone in the family including the grandparents, it was comfortable and just the right amount of space for 7 of us. The house came with almost everything you could need and the lake was beautiful! The home owners were so personable and responded to anything we reached out for right away! The neighbors were also very kind and patient with us. The whole town was just so sweet! It was just overall an amazing vacation. We got to see birds, turtles, fireflies, and frogs! We rented a boat for a few days at the Smith Lake Boating Adventures, which i highly recommend! The firefly lake house was an experience we will always remember!

A quiet spring break

We were looking to get away for spring break to somewhere that was NOT a crowded Florida beach! As indicated there was no cell service, but WiFi worked well enough to make calls and we wanted to be as “off the grid” as possible and Firefly was perfect. Our two kids, 12 and 15, had a blast with the kayaks and lillipad, and the couple of rainy days were no problem with the ping pong table downstairs and covered porches to sit and watch the rain and wildlife. Speaking of - there is a TON of wildlife to observe and enjoy. Lastly our hosts were super responsive - we had a few things that needed attention and they were immediately on it. The kitchen is very well equipped - with a remote spot we did not go out at all. And if you get in a pinch… the dollar general is 6 min away and has about everything you could need, or if you need it there’s a Walmart 20 min away - it just doesn’t feel like ANY of that exists when you’re at the house! It was exactly what we needed - thank you!

Comfy, super clean, lake house

We really enjoyed our weekend at the Firefly lakehouse. Communication was great, the house was spotless, and all the extras (life vests, canoe, kayaks, etc.) made for an action packed weekend that left all the adults exhausted and the kids ready for more. We also highly recommend Smith Lake Boating Adventures, who drop off and pick up the boat at the house.

Alabama Getaway

My overall impression of the place was it was all that we wanted, privacy, a place to relax, and listen to the crickets at night. My thoughts on this property is that an older couple still can enjoy it, but bringing down kayaks, lily pad, hauling bag chairs down those stairs to the wharf would be a challenge. We would have just dove in the water and swam around and enjoyed the view. Younger adults, who are physically strong, can definitely handle all those water sport ammenities, if they want to. Overall, we had a great time there and hosts were very amenable to our questions. Being so out in the country, the phone service was pretty sketchy.. I'm glad we went with two young adults that could have helped us if need be. Thanks, Cheryl and Brian

Wedding at Smith Lake

My daughter got married at the Barn at Smith Lake, and we stayed at Kristi's cabin for the long weekend. It was just right. We used both bedrooms, the loft, and the basement for sleeping. Everything was in good shape; we even brought our boat and were able to keep it at the dock. Everyone had a great time.

Thank you so much for a wonderful trip. We enjoyed the birds, frogs, turtles, and magical moments at this lovely lake house. From quiet mornings on the porch, to hours swimming off the dock, we can’t say enough great things about our time on Smith Lake. We hope to stay at The Firefly again.
