Nearly perfect.

This is a lovely home. It is spacious and airy and the deck is wonderful. But it is not user friendly for older folks to get to the dock. And any one who has a mobility issue would not want to attempt it. The trees have grown up and block the view of the lake. There are plenty of seating options and the king size beds are very comfortable.

Great Place

Check-in and out was a breeze and communication was AMAZING! The place was very nice and exactly what you see in the photos. We were provided so much information about the area for shopping and eating and found it super helpful. While we only stayed for a weekend, the place was stocked with everything you would need for a longer stay. The owners truly thought of everything! Beds were comfortable and seating was plentiful. This place is already on my list for another getaway.

Super Nice Plce

We LOVED the location of Grace's Retreat! The house isnjuat the cutest & super roomy. The beds were really comfortable too. The area is super convenient & close to LOTS of places to eat or shop. The cove was super quiet, despite being close to the Smith Lake park boat launch. The only "complaint" was the walk to & from the dock. The hill is super steep so make sure you have everything before going down, but that isn't anything the owners could change. We were also visited by the sweetest kitty, who even went to the dock with us & napped in the shade while we swam. We would def stay here again on our annual girl's tri.

All Around Awesome!!

Grace's retreat was awesome!! Comfortable beds, enough seating for all, great deck with view and well equipped kitchen. I hosted a Father's day cook out. We had serving plates, cutting boards, and mixing bowls and enough utensils for all. Terry was awesome when dropping off/picking up the pontoon boat. We had a fun time on the lake and will be returning.

Perfect Grace's Retreat

I can't say enough nice things about this place. It's location which feels like you're over the water surrounded by just enough trees to keep you cool. Well appointed inside and out. I took my 97 yr old mother and my 47 yr old daughter. Suitable for any age. Kitchen well stocked for even the most gourmet cooks. If you have a chance, go for it.

Unique property

Well appointed unique property with functioning glass garage doors for door walls to patio. Property owners easy to communicate with and responsive. Not uncommon with lake properties, there is a steep walk to stairs leading to dock that may be challenging for those with mobility issues. Reasonable check out process. Would recommend location and would stay again at this location.
