Summary: The Jim Smith Lake house was a perfect spot to have a peaceful, beautiful place to enjoy your family and British Columbia. Lake views from deck and cozy corners when you want shade and a comfortable place to watch your kids and grandkids enjoy paddle boarding and swimming. Facilities for cooking and barbecues, large refrigerator. Comfortable beds and furniture, lots of pillows, I wish we could have stayed longer.
