About this property

This cabin is oozing with charm and has magnificent view of the lake and Smith Mountain

WE OFFER KAYAKS, CANOE AND PADDLE BOARD FOR RENT, Sleeps 4. Free Fast Wifi 99.99% GERM FREE

Welcome to Cedar Key Village, a charming lakefront community of 11 homes. This spectacular all Cedar lake front Cabin is nestled in a secluded no wake cove. Beautiful lake side garden adds to the beauty of the lake and mountains. Boat slip and a semii-dock provided.


Amazing views of the lake and mountains surrounded by deep woods. There are very few homes on the lake that have such a beautiful view. The gardens in front of the cabin are simply lovely. My husband worked hard for four years to create this magic for you! The all cedar cabin is very well maintained and always spotlessly clean. Read the reviews, everyone just loves it. It is simply charming and inviting. You will not want your vacation to end.

The entire house is for your use, including your shared dock with your next door traveler. You can drive to your dock, only a few properties on the lake have this feature or you can take the 1 minute walk. Driving is great if you have a cooler for your boat.

Our parking lot is just a minute to the cabin by foot. You will unload in front of the cabin and then park in the resort parking lot.

Smith Mountain is a hydroelectric lake which means the lake levels will go up and down based on electrical usage. Typically you don't notice it unless there is a big rain storm coming and they lower the lake. We have a floating dock in the cove which works great for launching your kayaks, canoes or paddle boards in case the lake is lower.

There is no trash service for our side of the lake but we do have a dump 5 minutes away. We ask all guest to take trash to the dump prior to their departure.

We offer free wifi and have great cell connection


I have rented my home for over 20 years and take great pleasure in making sure it is a perfect vacation. I am always available by phone and or by e-mail/text during up until 8:00 pm. My clients have continually complimented my on prompt reply to their questions. I will call you upon booking. If you are not comfortable with my contacting over the phone, please send me a note prior to your booking.

I will provide you with a comprehensive confirmation letter which will inform you of the fun things to do in the area as well as recommended restaurants.

In case you want to know a little bit about your hosts, we are both retired and loving it! We were the original developers of Cedar Key. We purchased it in 1983 when it was a operated as resort since the 1970's. We have loved Cedar Key and have been an active member to maintain its beauty and serenity.

My husband worked for the Farm Credit Administration for over 30 years as its Chief Financial Analyst. I was a social worker for years in the District and then worked as a Realtor for 22 years in Northern Virginia. We have three wonderful adult children who love Cedar Key. We made wonderful memories here as I know you will as well

This cabin is beautiful. My husband, daughter and I spent the weekend after Thanksgiving there and disconnected from our phones. I love how peaceful everything was and how you got amazing views from the living room and main bedrooms. The cabin was also equipped with everything we needed. Communication was clear and very helpful. We actually talked about going back during the summer months so we can enjoy the lake.

Wonderful, restful trip

We stayed in a small 2 bedroom cabin with lake access. The views from the deck were great. We were in a no wake area on the lake so the lake was perfect for kayaking and any powerboats were slow movers.
