Home is where The Anchor drops, and you will feel at home in this renovated lakefront property, making it the perfect family retreat! If you have been looking for the ideal vacation home away from the hustle of traffic, then you are in luck! The Anchor is in a peaceful and remote section of the lake that will give you laid-back lake vibes all day.

On the main level, you will never have to worry about missing out on the fun with a beautiful open floor plan showcasing a well-equipped kitchen, dining room, and living room. Embrace the warm Southwest Virginian sunshine with the French doors coming off the dining room leading you outside onto the back deck. You have a fantastic view of the lake from the back porch, plenty of outdoor seating for the whole crew, and a picnic table. Sit back and relax in the living area in front of the TV. The main level has a laundry room.

You will find an additional living room decorated with a modern touch and a TV downstairs. The French doors off the living room open to an outdoor kick-back area with outdoor seating, a gas grill, and a porch swing facing gorgeous Smith Mountain Lake.

Four kayaks are provided for guest use. A special touch at The Anchor is the swing by the water's edge, looking out onto the lake. The gentle walkway through the backyard will lead you to the oversized dock with abundant space to tie up boats during your stay. If you are looking for the perfect sunset spot, head up to the party deck on the dock! There you will find a table with an umbrella and chairs, lounging chairs, and plenty of room for everyone to Anchor down and unwind.

Smith Mountain Lake
This property was in the ideal location, a few steps to the lake. The back deck got lots of use in the am and lovely sunsets in the evening. The bedrooms were roomy and had everything we needed. My only complaint is the Master bedroom in in the basement and had a little basement smell. I had to go up and down the stairs a lot and I'm a little on the older side, and would rather been on the main floor. Other than that we had a fantastic time. It was me and my husband, my grown son and his girlfriend, and my aunt/best friend. Everyone was happy.
