Pack for the plan

Choose footwear and layers for what you will actually do—not for an imaginary expedition.

Keep the first night simple

Put medicine, chargers, sleepwear and the next morning’s clothes where they are easy to reach.

Check the listing

Review the current Little Lake House amenities before buying duplicates or loading bulky extras.

Tony’s rule: If an item does not keep you comfortable, safe or excited about the trip, it probably does not need to take up trunk space.

Plan less. Enjoy more.

Make Center Hill Lake your easy weekend.

The Little Lake House is your comfortable base for the lake, waterfalls, Smithville and everything Tony’s Guide helps you discover.
