Very quiet. Had all the amenities, but not very cozy. Nice deck with patio furniture, but could not see much of the lake due to high frawns/foliage. Pleasant stay, Smithville a must see!

Nice quiet vacation
We really enjoyed our anniversary getaway to southern New Jersey. I picked this location as it was central to many of the towns we wanted to visit. The house was adorable, perfect for two people. The kitchen was great and everything was clean. Fireplace worked and the view of the lake was idyllic. Wish I would have known how close the other homes were to each other but we never saw anyone else while we were there. Owners do not restock any paper products after the initial stock so may want to bring paper towels with you. Also couldn’t find wash clothes and had to buy them before eventually finding them in the dryer. Internet connection is very poor but if you’re going to unplug this is great. Not ideal if trying to stream something to watch though. Overall a nice fall getaway.

Wonderful Get-away
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable. We had the best of both worlds with my husband being able to fish on the lake in the morning and evening and me being able to sit on the beach in the afternoon..a short drive away. Joy was super responsive and helpful. We also found lots of great GF food in the area, including a dedicated gluten-free bakery just a few minutes away. We plan to go back.

Alternative to stayijng at pricey AC hotels!
We wanted to go to a concert at Hard Rock but didn't want to pay the prices of the hotels on the boardwalk. I found this gem and will always book here instead of ...there! The house was so private! Very quiet and beautiful scenery. Everyone was super helpful, as we arrived an hour before check in time. There was an agent just passing by and was kind enough to ask if we wanted to hang out in the Club House until check-in. Yes! The only little complaint we have at all, is that there could have been detergent for the dish washer...that's it! Thank you, we'll be back!

Perfect for a peaceful quiet getaway
if your looking for a peaceful quiet getaway, this is an ideal place. The back deck is very private, and offers a wonderful view of the local wildlife. Everything from birds and chipmunks, to turtles, cranes and swans are there to welcome you every day. There's also a perfect view of the willow tree on it's own private island, which lights up beautifully every night. We will definitely come back again.

Lovely, Well Kept Property
We were surprised at how close the buildings are to each other and were concerned that would affect the privacy and quietness of our stay. The neighborhood ended up being incredibly quiet and even with the nearness of the other buildings we still enjoyed a quiet time. The building has some weird design choices - why is the towel rack on the far side of the bathroom, away from the shower? - but it's clean, well kept, and tastefully decorated. We didn't use the lake, but we walked around the bridge/pavilion and up the trails a bit - very glad we brought insect repellant as we had some ticks on our shoes afterwards.

this was the perfect spot to stay at. We were in town for a basketball tournament and did not want to stay at a hotel in Atlantic City. The house was perfect quiet clean the kitchen made it so much easier so we didn’t have to rush to find a restaurant end The distance from Atlantic City was just right the small little village in the shops made it so cute and enjoyable would definitely stay again.
