Gorgeous lake cabin for family fun. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching an abundance of wildlife. The kayaks were quite enjoyable too.

Great location!
Property was great and house was awesome! Couches were really comfortable and the full kitchen was really helpful. Great location right off Smith Lake and even had some kayaks to use (we appreciated the life jackets as well). Only recommendation I would have to make it better would be to add a pier so you don't have to deal with getting mud everywhere when getting kayaks in the lake!

Crane Cove
We enjoyed our stay in Crane Hill! This house is great for a large family as it has two separate sections (upstairs and downstairs) for privacy and quiet when needed, but lots of space for shared memories! The porches are great and the lake is perfect. We kayaked and fished with the provided kayaks and watched the all the wildlife. It was peaceful and just what we needed. We met the host who was kind and responsive. Great place!

Great overnight stay
Very cute place. We were only here overnight for a nearby wedding, but everything was just what we needed for a comfortable stay. We were surprised to find the downstairs was self contained with a separate entrance, but this was not a problem for us. We would definitely return!
