About the host
Hosted by May Manhoff
Being married for over 20 years, my husband and I have traveled to many different parts of the world and have enjoyed amazing experiences from different foods, to cultures, people and sites.
After starting a family and as the children grew to school age, we pretty much have to change the way we travel for vacation. We still try to take them somewhere outside of the country as much as we could to experience diverse foods and cultures but for short vacations, we decided to stay at local sites that are easy to drive to. A place to go to during the children’s short school breaks and still have a wonderful time while not having to driver there forever.
Living in Northern Virginia, we have so many beautiful places to choose from within driving distance. From the mountains, lakes, golf courses, the bay, the beaches and wineries, there is always something for each member of the family to enjoy.
My husband enjoys boating and my children enjoys anything that involves water. We have heard so much about Smith Mountain Lake and we decided to check it out. To our surprise, the lake has everything for everyone in the family to enjoy. Now my kids can't wait to go there whenever we can. Coming from Norther Virginia, it still take us between 4.5 to 5 hours to drive but the extra hour or two drive are well worth it when you get there.

Why they chose this property
This home is probably one of the nicest and largest unit for rent at Bernard's Landing with almost 3200 sq. ft of living space. It is unique because of its open floor plan and the panoramic view of the lake and the mountains from many parts of the home. The boat docks and a small beach are just steps away from the backyard so we don't have to go far to have fun and enjoy the lake.
This was the very first home we saw at Smith Mountain Lake and we didn't want to see any others after seeing it. We knew this is the home for us when my husband and I saw our twins sitting on the swing staring at the lake unmoved and just mesmerized by the gorgeous views. When we told them it's time to go to see another house, both of them said "No, this is our home."

What makes this property unique
You can sit on the swing by the lower deck all day and be mesmerized by the nature’s beauty surrounding you. An occasional visit from local blue bird is always a possibility since it also has a "lake home" next to the swing.
Waking up in the morning with your cup of coffee seeing the lake so calm much like looking at a glass with the mountain reflecting to it is just a soothing sight.
The panoramic views of the lake and mountains are just magnificent and breathtaking. Depending on the time or day of the year, the view is constantly changing from the clouds forming and draping the mountains, rain coming from one side of the lake to the other and more often than not, you will see the biggest rainbow across the lake that would linger for quite some time.
You'll see family having a great time tubing, fishing, boating or just simply having fun with their family and friends cruising the lake. It is never a dull moment while sitting on the deck watching the water.
Watching the sun rises in between the V area of the mountain where the damn is quite a site. The moonlight reflecting on the lake with its flickering lights will just make you want to stay out on your deck and watch it all night.
But one of the best part is, you do not have to go anywhere to see the fireworks for the 4th of July. Just have your friends and family over, take your drink, grab your seat on your back deck and enjoy the show!
