Love this place
This is the perfect rental for our family— two years in a row! We fished from the rocks, kayaked in the cove, and loved swimming by the dock. With our family of 5, everyone had ample space and privacy. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Awesome
The property was awesome. The home was equipped with everything that we needed. The views were exceptional. The only draw back was we arrived late Friday night and had to go to a public boat launch since we were not able to take the boat to the property and trying to locate the property at night in the water was a little trying. But the host did provide pretty good directions from the boat launch. I would definitely use them again.

Spring break on the lake
We really enjoyed our stay. Sitting on the porch in the mornings with coffee and listening to the birds was fantastic. House was exactly as expected, very clean and very well equipped. We really appreciated the selection of coffee. We brought our boat as well, boat launch was close by and owner supplied great directions. Family enjoyed be able to fish off the rocks as well as the dock, beautiful dock. Would highly recommend this property. Thanks for a great week.

Amazing house on amazing part of the lake!
This house is a perfect location with spectacular views of Smith Lake! We so enjoyed the back porch for the sunset views and sitting at the table for sunrise for breakfast. This house was spotless inside and out! We spent so much time on the beautiful 2 story dock watching boats go by and can’t wait to stay here again! 5 stars!

A wonderful spot - clean, peaceful, great for swimming
We had a wonderful time at this lake house. The house was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well equipped. The dock for baiting and swimming was great. My teens swam and kayaked and spent hours hanging out by and on the water. The property was pet-friendly and my dog loved laying on the deck of the house watching boats go by. The house itself was perfect for a weekend stay. We will stay again.

Relaxing getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our six days and nights, and highly recommend Providence Point. The home has everything we needed, and we really enjoyed sitting on the deck and the dock and enjoying the wonderful expensive view. Quite frankly, we spent very little time inside. We are 60-70 and got a bit puffed going up and down from the dock but it is totally worth it. We had chipmunks, deer, squirrels and hummingbirds come visit us every day. Close by Arley has everything you need. We wanted to chill and cooked in every day. The BBQ made it easy. The hosts have ample chairs on the dock and deck, and the house is appointed with everything we needed and was comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and highly recommend this VRBO.

Wonderful 2nd Stay
This is our second stay and once again it did not disappoint. We had a wonderful stay and had so much fun on the lake. This location is peaceful and beautiful and the house is perfect. We brought our jet ski and it is easy to get to the house from the Saddleback Bridge Boat launch. Having Triple Creek Marina almost right across from the house made it super easy to get fuel. This is a great location and the town of Arley is a few minutes away. The Arley Cafe has great food and is a hidden gem. This was a perfect getaway. I really love the house and location.

Great Vacation!
The house was very clean. The lake was beautiful no weeds and warm. Jumping from the top dock was a hit with all along with the swim mat. Fishing was terrible for this time of year. We rented a pontoon from Triple Creek Marina which was excellent also. The owners of the house and marina were top notch to work with. Thank you so much!

Something for everyone
This was the perfect house for our 4th of July weekend. Everyone had plenty of space to sleep and hang out. The porch has a beautiful view. The pier is spacious and not too rough even on this busy weekend. The lot has something for everyone. Shallow rocks for the dog and kids to easily walk out on to wade and swim. A low rock cliff for jumping that ages enjoyed. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. The only suggestion is to bring Tupperware or some kind of storage option for leftovers. Everything we needed was in close distance- a very convenient marina across the lake. Diana was friendly and very easy to work with. I will definitely rent again.

We enjoyed staying here so much— we’ve stayed at other smith lake properties before, and this one was our favorite by far! The views from inside the house as well as ease to the water were perfect. Loved fishing off the rocks and in the kayaks… and kids loved jumping off the double dock and float pad. Thank you Gordons for sharing your lovely home with us.

We had a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The house had good space for our family of 6, there were great views from the deck, and we enjoyed use of the dock and kayaks. Bruce and Diane were responsive and helpful. Tip for renters: bring your own salt & pepper, foil, and storage containers / Tupperware - the kitchen was missing these essentials.
