Smith Mountain Lake: Your Perfect Waterfront Escape
Picture yourself swaying gently on the porch swing, watching sunlight dance across the water. This charming 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat is all about those three beautiful R's: RELAX, RELATE, and RELEASE!
The moment you step inside, you'll feel it immediately - that warm, homey, nostalgic embrace that reminds you of weekends at your Grandparent’s house. You know that feeling - where worries melt away and you're suddenly 10 years old again with nothing but summer adventures ahead. The charming touches and cozy corners bring back sweet childhood memories while the open concept design lets gorgeous water views flow through the kitchen, dining, and living spaces.
Outside? Oh my goodness, it's paradise! The property slopes gently down to your very own private dock with lush green lawn and beautiful gardens. And talk about convenience- this home boasts 2 driveways, so there’s plenty of space for your truck and boat trailer!
Who's ready for some splash time? With both a stationary dock and a floating dock, you can challenge the kids to cannonball contests, drop a fishing line, or simply dangle your feet in the cool water just like at Grandpa's place all those summers ago. And boaters - you'll love how easy it is to dock your watercraft!
Prefer the shade? Curl up with that beach read on the covered deck or let the porch swing lull you into the most delicious afternoon nap, wrapped in that same sense of comfort you always felt at Grandma's house.
As evening approaches, fire up the grill on the upper deck and prepare for nature's show - those sunset views over the main channel are absolutely breathtaking!
This isn't just a vacation house - it's a treasure chest of nostalgia with modern amenities, your ticket to perfect family memories that last a lifetime! When can I show you around?

One of our favorite places to stay at the lake with a great location and value. Owners are very accommodating and allowed early check in. Made great memories with the family. We look forward to returning in the future.
Great location and a great view of the lake. Easy get down to the lake and easy to use the amenities. They have. Great to be able to use their kayaks and a few other things to on the water. Highly recommends please
This house has everything you might need. It felt like we were visiting grandma’s house. We went swimming off the docks and enjoyed fishing in the evening. Beautiful views of the lake. We will definitely be back.
Second time staying here. Got there a little early and the cleaners were just finishing up. House was very clean and ready to go. The weather wasnt great this year but we still had a good time. Thank you.
Overall the communication with the owner was great! Enjoyed the views and spending time on the dock. One of the kayaks seat was missing but still useable. Enjoyed our time with family. Thank you for letting us stay in your little paradise.
Thank you for choosing our home for your home away from home. I hope you soaked up the sun and rest on the covered porches. The porch swing is my favorite spot.
This home was perfect for a relaxing lake getaway! This comfortable and spacious home provided everything we could have needed. The kitchen had everything! Two separate lounge spaces and beautiful outdoor spaces. I really enjoyed sitting on the covered porch watching the boat traffic. The dock area was wonderful for fishing and swimming. Only 15 minutes to groceries, shops and restaurants. Wildlife in our backyard daily! I would definitely stay at this beautiful, clean home again!
Very clean home inside and out. Great location on the water near shops and restaurants.

Yes! Whether by land or by lake fantastic restaurants are only 15 minutes away. Our favorite place is Moosies at Bridgewater Plaza. Hands down, they make the best Reuben sandwich!
It literally feels like you’re at grandma’s house! Great view and spot on the lake away from the busier areas of the lake. We were pleasantly surprised to find some kayaks, life jackets, and fishing poles to use. We also appreciated the first aid kit readily available in the bathroom! We had one in our car but it was so convenient to have one already at the house. The kitchen was beautifully equipped - even an electric griddle and toddler items! We had a great relaxing stay!
My family and I have been coming to SML for 15 years now. We love it! We had such a great time at The Bower House. It had everything we needed and more. Great location. We will definitely stay here again.
