Fantastic experience

Our family loved staying here. The house was very clean and accurately described in the listing. Rick was almost immediate with responses and made the whole experience very nice. The kayaks, SUP boards, & canoe were a nice touch. Also, LOVED the ice maker and 2 sets of washer and dryers. We can’t wait to return!

All I can say is Wow

Not an accurate listing, it included so much more!!!! Multiple kayaks a canoe and even 2 stand up paddle boards! The whole family had numerous ways to enjoy the water off of not 1 but 2 docks! Fishing could be separate from swimming/tanning! The commercial ice machine is something I never knew was missing from my life. The emerald green clear water made you feel like you were in another country and the mountains up against the lake were like Bob Ross come to life! The house was super clean and very spacious with multiple living room options that you can send the teenagers downstairs to be noisy and a large deck, large covered back patio and screened in front porch, so much space! The cornhole set was a hit for our family tournament and all the games were perfect for our game nights. Not far from Mangos the local tourist area but located on the best most scenic and secluded side of the lake. Secluded in a no wake cove like being in a court. Ample parking and wooded space from the neighbors. Nicely decorated with all the kitchen items you could need and then some. Thank you so much for the memories

Great Location

Clean, comfortable, well stocked kitchen and overall great set up. It was a real plus to have washer & dryer on both levels. The ice machine was a treat. Located in a quiet area so it was safe for us to venture out on provided paddle boards and kayaks. My family and I really enjoyed our stay.

Highly Recommend!

Location was optimal in a little cove, quiet and private with a direct lake view. We spent time with the kids of course swimming, out in kayaks/paddle boards everyday and visited the the local beach at Smith Mountain Lake State Park twice. The main kitchen is fully stacked with any pot, pan or utensil you could think of - no need to bring any of your own! Downstairs storage closet was filled to the brim with board games - Mall Madness was a kid favorite! We even met met and made friends with the neighbors. Host was communicative and quick to respond. Great place to stay :)

About the host

Hosted by Rick Crofford

The Matriarch of the Crofford family was convinced by her 3 sons that buying this property after many years of renting for our vacations was the right thing to do. Our family retreat since 2015 has been nothing but hard work and lots and lots of fun......

Why they chose this property

The privacy of the cove and the location on the lake made it a perfect fit for our family.

What makes this property unique

Two separate living areas. Not having an interior staircase makes the home much more quite as you can't hear what's going on up or down. The private cove is our private swimming and fishing hole.
