Tigua's Sunrise pet-friendly fishing + pontoon option

Welcome to Tigua’s Sunrise, by 2 Poochies Properties, a single story lakefront home on Lewis Smith Lake overlooking a peaceful deep water cove in one of the most serene areas of the lake. Wake to golden sunrises shimmering across calm water and settle into a vacation centered on family time, steady fishing, and relaxed lake living.

Tigua is our newest pooch, rescued from the streets of Antigua when she was just 4 weeks old. Like the rising sun, she inspires us with her energy, hope and optimism each new day and the property aims to inject you with this attitude.

The spacious primary suite features a king bed, Roku TV, dedicated workspace, dressers, nightstands, and large shuttered windows that fill the room with natural light. The en suite bath includes a walk in shower, sunken tub, and a generous walk in closet.

The main living room is designed for gathering, with a large reclining sectional, a comfortable reclining chair, and a 68 inch Roku TV. Books and games for all ages are stocked for evenings indoors. All TVs include Roku with high speed 1 GB internet and access to more than 75 live channels, with the ability to log into your personal streaming accounts for seamless entertainment.

Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for families. One guest room offers a queen bed, Roku TV, dresser, and walk in closet. The bunk room includes two bunk beds, storage chests, bean bag chairs, and its own walk in closet, making it an ideal space for kids. A centrally located guest bath features a shower and tub combination, vanity with storage, and a nearby linen closet.

The well stocked kitchen offers functional counter space, a center island with seating, full size appliances, and a dedicated coffee station. The adjacent dining table seats six comfortably. A separate laundry room includes a large capacity washer and dryer with supplies provided for your convenience.

Step outside to the expansive composite deck with multiple seating areas for dining and lounging. A gazebo with cooling fan provides shade for entertaining, and beneath it you will find an eight seat fire table and propane grill ready for evening meals. A custom competition size cornhole set adds family friendly fun. A fully fenced yard offers added security for children and pets, and a large firepit area overlooks the lake with firewood provided.

The private dock provides direct access to deep water fishing and swimming. Guests may enjoy an optional fishing pontoon available as a separate rental. This boat is set up for relaxed cruising and serious fishing, and towing is not permitted, keeping the experience focused on calm days and casting lines. Life jackets for guests and dogs are available.

Tigua’s Sunrise is designed for families who value early mornings on the water, full afternoons of fishing, and quiet evenings under the stars. Settle in, cast a line, and experience the peaceful rhythm of Smith Lake.

We had a blast staying at Tigua's Sunrise. The property was perfect for our family including our dog. The property had everything we could possibly want from fully stocked Kitchen to all the toys to have a good time on the water. Our host was great from start to finish with communication.This was our first trip to Smith Lake and our experience with Tigua Sunrise certainly set the bar high. We will be back!

Lake Gem

I’ve never seen my husband more relaxed. It was perfect and so beautiful and peaceful. The house had more than I’ve ever experienced in a vacation rental. It had dish soap, laundry detergent and fabric softener, a stocked coffee bar, air fryer, griddle, pots/pans, dishes, life vests, propane for the table pit and the grill, seasoning for the food, etc. The weather was good and the dogs were able to run inside and outside to their hearts content. My husband didn’t want to leave and says that we will definitely return.

One of the best

One of the best properties we’ve rented. We travel quite a bit and use VRBO often. This was up there at the top of my favorites. Well stocked, owners make you feel very welcome, great dock and free use of kayaks! Bedding was very soft. We knew there were a lot of steps to get to the water but it’s not terrible.

Great place to stay!

We are very picky about where we stay when it comes to cleanliness. This place was EXTREMELY clean. We were traveling with our two dogs and loved the fenced in yard. Very dog friendly place. We would definitely recommend. Our only issue was the location to where we needed to go back and forth to, but he has another property in that area we would definitely stay at in the future!!!!
