EXCELLENT Based on 44 reviews Posted on JessicaAugust 10, 2025Verified It was exactly as advertised. The kids really enjoyed the lily pad and going on the (very nice) pontoon boat. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, dishes and utensils. We also really enjoyed the digital guide book. It very helpful and detailed. Tim was also quick to respond.Posted on CalebAugust 3, 2025Verified Great place. Exactly as describedPosted on RichardJuly 31, 2025Verified What a great find for us. We had been staying at various places around Smith Lake for a long time and Barney’s Bluff was great and perhaps the best. The option to rent their boat was a fantastic addPosted on AmandaJuly 28, 2025Verified This may be my favorite AirBnb our family has ever rented! It was also our first time taking our two dogs with us on vacation, and Barney’s Bluff couldn’t have made it any easier. The home was clean, comfortable, and homey, with so many thoughtful details and supplies. The lake is spectacular and the location in the cove was exactly what we were looking for. Tim’s guestbook full of information was so helpful — we referenced it multiple times. All this to say, I’d give Barney’s Bluff six stars if I could. We look forward to returning!Posted on NathanJune 6, 2025Verified Beautiful home with everything you need for a great lake vacation! Had a wonderful time and will definitely go back in the future.Posted on AbbyMay 11, 2025Verified This place was beautiful and very peaceful. We brought our two dogs who had the best time in their fenced in porch. Tim and his family were also very nice. We would definitely stay here again.Posted on Richard EDecember 1, 2024Verified Tim and his family were great host communicated each evening to make sure we were ok and if we needed anything. Lived on the lake for 15 years before relocating to Florida. And will definitely be booking another stay with Tim.Posted on SusanAugust 12, 2024Verified Tim was a wonderful host and the property is lovely.Such a lovely location and home!!Posted on CindyJuly 18, 2024Verified The house was very comfortable and very clean. Had everything you could need. Plus it was awesome for pets .Posted on KellyMay 20, 2024Verified I have so many good things to say about Barney’s Bluff!!! I was concerned it might not be clean since pets were allowed. But It was very clean!! The home has wonderful place for pets - fenced backyard, extra leashes, food bowls, huge enclosed backporch. Amenities for people were great also - kayak, boathouse, swimming, firepit, etc… I could just go on & on. We will be back!

About the Area
Allie’s on the Rocks has a quiet and tranquil feel to it though it is centrally located within a southern-style community with a mix of residential homes and small family-owned businesses. You can find groceries, gas/diesel, BBQ, fishing/hunting/boating gear and various specialty shops about 5-10 minutes away (by car) and there’s a Walmart with the typical associated shopping outlets about 20 minutes away. There are Baptist, Methodist and non-denomination churches nearby as well.
Your best bet for getting to Allie’s, as well as getting around this area of Smith Lake while you are here, is to have your own vehicle or a rental. Public transportation, taxi and rideshare services are scarce and may be relatively costly when available. I do not consider bicycling a good option because there are many winding roads with blind curves, which are typical along the waterfront properties.
