The cabin was even more beautiful than advertised. The views were stunning. This was a perfect place to spend a laid back spring break with our grandkids. The fabulous boat dock made it very easy to rent a pontoon boat for several days. My wife thought the hot tub was perfect. There were no unpleasant surprises!

We all just loved this place. We were blown away from the moment we entered the giant, open, multi-purpose room - serving as Dan, living room, dining room, sitting room, fireplace room and game room - with seating in this one area for at least 25. Big, Beautiful wood burning fireplace, extremely comfortable sofas and recliners, and instant surround sound music via Sirius XM on the stereo. Very well appointed and supplied with everything we needed for our trip, even including separate towels for the hot tub - which was awesome - clean and ready to go. We look forward to coming back in every season if we can to get a different view. Can't wait to see it with a canopy of leaves over the huge deck in the summer, with a blanket of snow in the winter, and the beautiful colors of Autumn from all the trees and mountains and lake sitting right outside the door. Also - great communications from this host!

The host was welcoming and very responsive as needed. The home was very well stocked- there wasn’t anything that we needed that wasn’t there. We loved the open floor plan and space for everyone. The cabin feel with lots of wood and exposed wood beams made it feel charming. The outdoor space was plentiful and the views were fantastic. My daughter and her boyfriend enjoyed the privacy of the downstairs suite.

Lovely home for family trip

This home is truly a lovely place for extended family, including your doggies. We had so much fun and spent some great time together as a family. The dock fit our rented boat and jet skis perfectly and the 4 bedrooms were great - including the one that is separate from the rest for some privacy. Will definitely stay here again!

Tom C.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Cleanliness
The host provided timely communication, and accommodated an early check in request. The home and its cleanliness fell far short of our expectations. Bugs, dirty coffee maker (still coffee in the pot), trash in the trash can, dirty grill (which we did not use), a hot tub that smelled of mildew and old water, and looking under dressers / etc to ensure the kids didn’t leave anything…well let’s just say there’s cleaning to do…were the main culprits. You can tell from the pictures, the house is really old (but it certainly has a lot of character), and in general the linens / mattresses / bedding materials seem to be at or past their useful life. As small example, I had a king size pillowcase and a tiny “pancake” for a pillow that didn’t fill 25% of the case. My son slept on a twin bed that had mattresses and toppers stacked on top of each other. While the description does say the house sits above 11 other homes, or something to that effect. I found the online pictures very deceiving. There is a road and at least three homes effectively in the backyard of this property. My search parameters were “lakefront”…and how this home sits / is positioned isn’t my definition of lake front. I’d personally consider it lake view. The windows on the back of the house and the porch are amazing. Unfortunately though, there weren’t window treatments/blinds in the living room / dining / kitchen area, making it uncomfortable to walk around after dark…particularly for my wife and daughter.
Honest view of the lake. And the audience you will have at dark
Pillows and linens need replacing
Bugs everywhere
Mess under the house. We choose not to use anything under there

Lovely Memorial Day Weekend

We couldn't have enjoyed this more. Fantastic view of a quiet part of the lake, private docks where we tied up the boats the owner rented to us, and all of that in a wooded neighborhood perfect for long walks, and a beautifully and comfortably furnished house with a very well-stocked kitchen -- we and the dog loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Alicia Yowell

Host profile image
Greg and I love our house and location. We love to swim, boat, golf, fish and spend our days reading on the dock or deck... life is good!

Why they chose this property

We purchased our home in 1983 and have just loved vacationing with our children over the years at our home. It is one of most magical spots on the lake. The views are just breathtaking. We think we have the most beautiful view on the lake

What makes this property unique

Beautiful mile plus country road runs throughout our community, perfect for walking/running. Hardwoods woods throughout and very little traffic. Mountain biking just a mile away and beautiful;l shoreline walking trails at Smith Mountain Lake Park, just ten minutes away. For the more serious hike, the Blue Ridge Mountains is just one hour from the house, home to many nature trails or hike up Peaks of Otter Mountain and enjoy a picnic lunch along a stream or at the quaint restaurant.

One of three no wake coves on the lake. Ours is the largest, perfect for kayaking, paddle board or canoeing. We rent all three types of boats for $75.00 each.

We have four bedrooms with one located on the lower level. It has a full bath, queen bed with a TV. You can access this room only from going down the steps from the deck. It is completely private and guests have had to toss a coin to see who gets this charming, private bedroom. It is in demand.

We have a king sleep by numbers bed in the master bedroom with an oversized master shower that is stunning. We also have a queen bedroom and a twin.
