About this property

Cabin 2 at Cedar Key - Serene waterfront setting/No wake cove/Dog friendly!

Imagine mornings watching the cool mist rise off of the reflections of undeveloped forest, the “sound” of silence, beautiful views of sunset on the water, and potluck barbeque dinners on the back deck with friends. At the end of the day, enjoy the night sky the way it was intended, without any light pollution! If you’re looking for a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you’ve found the right place.

A shared dock gives full access to this serene no wake cove for swimming, paddleboarding, and docking your boat, so you can enjoy all the lake has to offer.

Our pet friendly atmosphere allows you to enjoy this setting without having to leave your canine family members behind.

Within a 30 minute drive, Smith Mountain Lake offers access to horseback riding, golf, hiking trails, and wineries. The nearby state park includes a small beach for younger visitors. This is Virginia's most popular lake and is a fisherman's paradise, with over 500 miles of shoreline on this 40-mile long, 20,000 acre lake stocked with bass, muskies, northern pike and panfish.

High-speed internet allows for viewing movies and shows from your own streaming accounts and the occasional remote work if absolutely necessary.

This two-bedroom, one bath cabin has a fully stocked kitchen and a charcoal grill for use on the full length deck.

A common dock is shared with neighbors in Cabin 1.

A dedicated parking spot is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.

Smoke-free property.

Central air conditioning and heat, ceiling fans throughout.

GUESTS SHOULD BRING LINENS (FOR ONE QUEEN AND TWO TWIN BEDS), BATH TOWELS, WASH CLOTHS, DISH TOWELS, ETC. Linens may be provided for an additional $75 fee.

While the cabin is dog-friendly, due to the increased wear and tear to the property and furnishings, as well as increased cleaning, there is a $50 pet fee. This is automatically assessed on the VRBO app but not on the PC/Mac website and may be added as a separate invoice after booking if not automatically included.

Enjoy your time "Unleashed"!

We had a great stay in Cabin #2. The cabin is clean and comfortable and has a well stocked kitchen. Everything was as described and ran smoothly. The deck is large and has great views. The owners were responsive. Smith Mountain Lake is wonderful. The location, a group of 8-10 like cabins, is quiet and secluded but is 20 minutes or more to stores and restaurants. We would happily stay in Cabin #2 again when we visit Smith Mountain Lake.

Great place to get away cabin sits next to the lake with a shared dock .Very pet friendly maybe not the best location if you have walking issues. The cabin offers stairs down a to the dock but has a nice deck that provides great views and plenty of space for a small family. The Host were very responsive when I had questions they also provided a nice book with local restaurants and attractions with maps of the local area. Overall a great place to stay

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Dittman

Host profile image
Ken and Cindy Fasanella are healthcare workers who live in Pittsburgh, PA. Ken has been enjoying Cedar Key since his college days at the University of Virginia, and he and Cindy have been making it an annual destination since 2016. In 2020, we had the opportunity to make our favorite place on Earth into our second home. Our hope is that our guests are able to enjoy the cabin the same way we have, as the ultimate family vacation spot in the summer and a peaceful getaway the rest of the year.

Why they chose this property

This is a truly magical place on Smith Mountain Lake. It is an old fashioned fishing village built the same year the lake was created, right in the middle of a nature preserve, across a cove from protected State Nature Preserve, which will never be developed.

What makes this property unique

It is on the shore of a "no wake" cove allowing for peaceful swimming and use of personal watercraft (kayaks, rafts, SUP boards) without rapid boat traffic affecting your personal safety or peace of mind. Additionally, it has a small, old-fashioned, laid-back community feel allowing multiple families to simultaneously rent separate cabins but be able to enjoy stays together, congregating for potluck dinners on the generous deck.
