Property Description
Imagine yourself at "The Lilly Pad" resort cottage, where Lakeside Living is at its finest and so are the modern design features you'll experience. Conveniently located in beautiful Crane Hill, the views are breathtaking! Our cottage boasts one of the BEST wide range views of the entire lake. Experience spa-like amenities in a cozy lakeside retreat where everything you need is provided... Just show up & enjoy!
Hear the light hum of boats and serene nature in the background while cozying up beside an evening fire on the terraced double deck patio. Enjoy a glass of wine from the wine fridge while strolling the pier and take a leisurely nap on a new luxurious gel memory foam mattress after a day of excursion out on the lake! Prep your charcuterie board on the quartzite island (or grill out on patio Weber!) and enjoy while lounging on the double chaises on the spacious concrete tiered deck overlooking the big blue peaceful expanse of Smith Lake. Memories are sure to be made at this cottage. Welcome to The Lilly Pad!
Deep, clear water makes for an incredible waterskiing and fishing location! Paddleboards, kayaks, & huge Lilypad float included with stay, as well as a jet ski ramp and large covered dock for your boat(s) (or rent a boat from Cappy’s just down the road). Inflatable for tubing and kneeboard also available for guests. Children love the swim deck and ladder and having a huge shoreline to explore! Gorgeous coves nearby, as well as minutes as away from Smith Lake Castle, Smith Lake Park, and Trident Marina & Grille (...Hello, amazing 5-star waterfront restaurant with live music!)

The Lillypad was the perfect getaway for our baby moon! We will definitely be back! Our first time to Smith Lake and definitely won’t be our last.

Adorable place, just the right size for a few people. Easy access to the water, loved being able to put the boat in and keep at the dock, and the use of the water accessories was so nice. We hope to come back!

Making memories
We will always remember our trip to Smith Lake with our children and their fiancés. We were able to use the charcoal grill for several of our meals. We all enjoyed a trip in the canoe , some flipped over on purpose. The house was well supplied with extra's. There is plenty of seating outside the home for some relaxation. As a therapist, I was happy to see a ramp from the parking spot around the home to get into the cabin for some people that have trouble navigating steps. Beautiful sunrises in the summer.

Perfect!
This was our first trip to Smith Lake and we certainly got lucky when we chose this rental. It was exceptional in every way. Fabulous location! Very easy access to the dock, cozy and comfortable living space that was very well appointed. The host was very responsive. I recommend highly, without reservation.
