Outside, settle into multiple deck seating areas, the eight-seat fire table, gazebo, gas grill, outdoor dining area, or lakeside firepit. The fully gated deck opens to a fully fenced backyard for children and pets. A 44-step stairway with resting landings leads to the private covered boat dock and swim deck.

Use self check-in with the keypad and a private entrance. Guests have access to the home, deck, fully fenced backyard, private covered boat dock, swim deck, tandem fishing kayak, paddleboard, and boat slip. Three driveway parking spaces are available on the premises, with additional parking behind the home.

An optional 24-foot, 11-person Sun Tracker pontoon with a 150-horsepower engine and three-person tow tube may be rented separately; please check with the host when booking. Guests bringing a boat may use the extra boat slip.

You can bring your boat and launch it at Smith Lake Dam Boat Launch (closest) Smith Lake Park Boat Launch, or Duskin Point Marina Boat Launch and dock it at Barney's or you can rent Barney's 11-person Pontoon boat (check with host at time of booking).

Or you might prefer to use Barney's tandem kayak to get on the water. He is happy to lend his (fishing) kayak to guests for the duration of their stay if they promise to take care of it.

Guests can fish from the dock. The water is usually clear and always deep - between 38 and 45 feet at the dock.

Life jackets for guests and dogs are provided (located in the master bedroom closet). Pet-friendly features include a fully fenced yard, cleanup station, and dog bed. A Pack ’n Play/travel crib, clamp-on table-seat high chair, children’s dinnerware, and room-darkening shades are also available.

You are welcome to play, swim, or fish from the dock deck. But there is absolutely no jumping from the walkway or from the top of the dock. If this happens and there are damages, you will be charged for those damages. 

Exterior security cameras are on the property.
