Blue Cottage at Sunset Cove, Bunk room 2 story dock! Best views!
Beautiful lake home with the BEST sunset views on Smith Lake situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in desirable Little Crooked Creek (Rock Creek) in Crane Hill. Surrounded by woods and with no through traffic at all, this is one of the most peaceful spots on the lake. You can even hear the rush of the waterfalls on the neighboring lot if there has been recent rain. One of the best features of this unique lake house is the deep, year-round water in our quiet cove that is protected from the boat traffic. Kids and adults will love jumping off of the top of the enormous 2 story boat dock!.
✔ Entrance with Security Cameras and Wi-Fi Enabled locks with unique combination for each guest, for your protection and convenience.
✔ Living Room – Open floorplan and amazing views over the lake, 2 oversized couches with lots of seating, gas fireplace
✔Kitchen-bright and open overlooking the lake, with oversized bar that has seating for 5, large dining table to seat 10, well stocked with kitchen and cooking supplies
✔ Master Bedroom 1 – King bed with roomy closet, ceiling fan, dresser, and private bath (upstairs-main floor)
✔ Master Bedroom 2 – King bed with roomy closet, ceiling fan, dresser, and private bath (upstairs-main floor)
✔ Bedroom 3 – Queen sized bed and desk (downstairs)
✔Waterfalls all around us, you are a 2 minute kayaking trip to a beautiful waterfall which is almost always running at the end of our cove
✔Double-decker boat dock with swim platform and a jumping platform from the top deck, 2 kayaks, additional boat slip to tie up guest's boat, jet ski ramp so bring your jet ski, 8 resort style chaise lounge chairs, 12 Adirondack chairs for relaxing on the dock, a floating water mat, covered area with a 6 seater table for lake-side picnics. This is one of the biggest docks you will see on the lake. We have chairs/seating for 20+ people and there is still room to spare!
✔ Deep water right off of the dock all year long
✔ 60ish stairs from house to dock
✔ Located 30 min from I-65 at the Exit 299 (Dodge City) and a 7 minute drive to Trident Grill and Marina which has wonderful food and a fun atmosphere (and often live local music)
✔ 5 minute drive to the infamous Country Mall whose motto is, “If we don’t have it, you don’t really need it” which we have found to be true!
✔ Our incredible cove is surrounded by the most amazing rock formations -to showcase the beauty, we along with our neighbors have added light features to the rock walls. Sitting on the dock at night taking in the illuminated rocks and looking at the stars has become one of our favorite family activities.
✔ Smith Lake fishing is incredible! We have a great connection to a local charter boat captain who you can schedule to pick you up on our dock to take you out for an awesome day of fishing for striped bass.
✔ We have a NO PARTY policy that we strictly enforce. Please keep this in mind when booking. We appreciate you keeping it to only registered guests in our lake home. Also, please respect our neighbors and the serenity of our cove when playing music on the dock. Thank you!

We had a fantastic time. The view from the deck was gorgeous. The home was extremely comfortable for my family, my sisters family, and my father for a family Thanksgiving
The house was amazing! There was plenty of room for our group. The views of the lake were great and the porches were a wonderful place for morning coffee. Our group really enjoyed the dock and spent most of our time there. Jason and Amanda were wonderful hosts! Very responsive and had great recommendations. We can’t wait to go back!
We could not have been more pleased! The house was beautiful. Access to the lake was amazing! The owners were extremely helpful! All around great experience.

Great location with a fantastic dock! Wonderful for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, and eating together in a peaceful cove. And I appreciated the plethora of floaties available to use.
Very quiet neighborhood. House was very spacious and lots of great seating for everybody. Kitchen was well stocked and beds were comfy.
Owners were great to work with and made sure we were well taken care of. We would love to go back!
My sisters and our families had plenty of room for our family vacation at the Blue Cottage.
The kids loved jumping off the dock, kayaking, and lounging on the lily pad. Be ready for the stairs, but the private lake cove is well worth it!
The owner provided all the check in info ahead of time, so getting there and into the house was a breeze.
If you're looking for a relaxing spot to escape the hustle of reality for a bit, we would definitely recommend the Blue Cottage for your next vacation.
Our grandchildren had an amazing time, the downstairs was perfect for the to hang out and play video games. We got to make wonderful memories with our boys, they enjoyed jumping off the boathouse, and swimming. The house was away from the beaten path, which we enjoyed, not a lot of boat and jet ski traffic. The house was beautiful and spacious, kitchen was fully equipped, the beds were very comfortable with all the amenities you could ask for. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home.
We had a girls weekend at this wonderful lake house. The view was breathtaking! We spent so much time on the deck reading and talking. There was ample seating in the living room which was great for playing games and hanging out. There are two additional living areas for people to hang out and enjoy. The kitchen was well equipped and we had everything we needed for cooking! The beds were very comfortable and the bunk room was quiet- no noise from upstairs.
We also enjoyed the dock and spent one afternoon floating in the lake and enjoying the lounge chairs.
No complaints about this wonderful property!!
Great views, great host and would recommend this property to family and friends. As a matter of fact I have sent this listing to a friend for his next family trip.
Everything was perfect!! Amanda went above and beyond and those small details meant the world to my family. Great rental and I am sure we will be back!!
