Great stay!

Hummingbird cottage was the perfect weekend getaway for me and my wife! Clean, comfortable, and charming. Loved being in the woods, enjoyed a quiet kayak ride and fishing from the dock. Super cool record player! Kali was responsive and checked in to make sure everything was great with our stay. We didn't want to leave!

Late March Getaway

This is a great little cottage on Smith Mountain Lake. It is a clean and welcoming cottage with access to the water. As stated in the write up, there are a lot of stairs between the dock and cottage but it is well worth the climb. The kitchen is well stocked and it has a wood burning fireplace which we didn’t have a chance to use but I wish we had. The communication from the owner was clear and thorough and I could even say, above and beyond. We would definitely stay here again.

Hummingbird Cottage

We enjoyed our stay at the Hummingbird Cottage. It was well equipped and had everything we needed. The cottage was as pictured and very clean! The location was convenient to grocery shopping and restaurants. The water view was lovely and very relaxing! Perfect place to unplug, play some board games, read, and explore the area.

Perfect for our month stay!

We loved the location as it is close to groceries, restaurants and shopping. Bridgewater area close by was a plus as well. Cabin is cozy and has lots of natural night. Our fur baby enjoyed it too. Steps to the dock and back good exercise!

About the host

Hosted by Taylor

Hello! It's nice to cross paths with you! Here's a little about us...
My husband and I live in Stafford, Virginia. We have three sons- two in college and one in high school. I am a teacher at my youngest son's high school. My husband retired from a twenty+ year career in the Marine Corps and is now working as a project manager in Manassas, VA. My husband and I have been looking to purchase a lake cottage/cabin for a few years. Two years ago we rented a condominium at Smith Mountain Lake and fell in love with the area. In April 2021 we found exactly what we were looking for- a little cottage on the lake! We are both working full-time and are not able to visit the lake as frequently as we'd like to. Since it's available much of the year, we thought we'd share it with others who love the lake just as much as we do! We hope you enjoy your stay!

Why they chose this property

My favorite things about the cottage:

-Relaxing on the dock in the afternoons watching all the water fun
-Getting exercise by taking walks down to the point
-Grabbing lunch at the Diamond Hill Country Store (roast beef sandwiches are my favorite)
-Fishing off the end of the dock
-Kayaking around the corner to Jake's Place
-Grilling on the back deck
-Eating at Napoli Cowboy (it's a 20-25 min. car or boat ride, but it's worth it)
