Awesome experience

Perfect for spending time with friends in a comfortable and relaxing setting. It’s a spacious kitchen, dining, living room with plenty of seating. Right on the lake, we ate meals on the deck too. We’d stay there again if in the area.

We love Peaceful Haven!

This is our third stay at Peaceful Haven and it just gets better every year! The remodeling that has been done is stunning! There is plenty of room for a family to spread out. The lake views are gorgeous, the little beach is so convenient and the kayaks/SUP are great for touring the lake. We have already booked our stay for next year!

The property is amazing! It could not be closer to the lake and has a dock available. The location is within easy walking distance of a great restaurant, boat rentals and the community pool. The rooms are very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped with everything you will need. We look forward to returning for a longer stay!

Wonderful Week

Waterfront with Mountain View - we woke up every morning in awe of being able to drink our coffee in the back deck and take in the beautiful scenery. We swam in the lake every day and used the provided water toys. Our toddlers loved being able to walk right in to the water. The home was fully accommodating in terms of layout and supplies. We can’t wait to come back!

Peaceful Haven

Peaceful Haven was heavenly for our extended family of 10 ranging in age from 8 months to 65 years! Even better than we anticipated! House was spacious and had everything we needed and then some! Top & bottom decks afforded lovely views of the lake and mountains! Sandy beach was just steps away and convenient boat rental around the cove. Owners are very responsive to any questions/issues that arise! Stay here to make family memories you will treasure for a lifetime!

Great set up and location

Owner is very responsive and the location is one of the best in Bernards Landing. Great beach entry to the lake for kids to play, paddle board available, docks right by the back of the house, etc. Good furnishings and linens in the house which is appreciated. Only down side is the kitchen is small but since we spend most of the time outside it works for or family. Great place and have stayed there two years in a row

Great Long Weekend at the Lake!

The views from the house were absolutely amazing! The pictures don't do it justice. My family stayed here over the holiday weekend and we couldn't have chosen a better place....walking distance to boat rentals & food, courtesy dock & sandy beach steps from the deck with expansive views of the lake, kayaks & a SUP available on-site, and tons of stuff to do in and around the condo. Everything was clean, fresh, and as advertised upon check-in. May was great about checking-in with us and extremely helpful!

Family fun at Peaceful Haven!

We had a wonderful time at Smith Mountain Lake. It was our first visit to the area. The views from the home were amazing! Our grandkids were 1, 2 and 3 and the beach was a great option for them. We also rented a boat that we kept at the dock there so we ventured out into the different coves and pirate islands as my granddaughter called them. The water was beautiful and clean and we had most of the beach to ourselves during our stay. There wasn’t one item in the kitchen that you couldn’t ask for. Well stocked very clean… Everything was perfect :-)

Perfect Vacation!

We were a group of 6 - five adults and one child staying at Peaceful Haven for the second year and it was absolutely perfect. The layout of the condo is ideal for larger groups, with varying bed configurations and SO much room. The kitchen is fully stocked for real cooking, something you don’t always find in a rental. The location of the condo is ideal as it’s situated really close to one of the beaches. We were also able to keep our boat at the dock directly in front of the unit. The property owner was very responsive and super friendly any time we had questions. Our group would highly, highly recommend Peaceful Haven and hope to stay there again next year!

Wonderful Location

Really enjoyed this condo's proximity to the water, boat dock and the great beach area (awesome for kids). Overall a very positive experience and vacation. Just a few things to mention. The kitchen is relatively small for a 5 bedroom place, an extra fridge or mini-fridge downstairs could really help out. Also, maybe we overlooked them but we couldn't find any dish towels. Not a big problem just seemed odd. We look forward to going back and would recommend this place without reservation.

Great Escape during COVID-19

Our family loved our vacay to SML. This townhouse was beautiful and met most of our needs. Mae was wonderful to work with in planni ng our trip. Our only suggestion for change is to offset the very small kitchen with another large refrigerator. The basement area could be used to accommodate one we believe. The pool table was never used, despite many of the men in our family enjoying it. We also never used the bar area as we we all upstairs or on deck most. Rearranging the basement space to feature seating and a wall with a counter/cabinet and fridge would be great.

Amazing Smith Mountain Rental

We had a fantastic experience at this rental property. The townhome is in a perfect location on the lake and the view of the mountains and lake is breathtaking. The townhome is beautifully remodeled with an amazing gourmet kitchen with every pot, pan, and utensil you could need. The rooms are tastefully decorated with everything that you could need and the beds are very comfortable. The outdoor porches provide a beautiful view of the lake and have plenty of outdoor space and comfortable furniture. The location on the sandy beach is perfect for swimming and the multiple docks in front of the unit are perfect for easily getting in and out if you rent a boat during your stay. Our entire family ages 11-67 thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks and stand up paddle boards as well. The property manager is excellent and quick with her communication and responded immediately to any questions that we had. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay at Smith Mountain Lake.

Absolute best on SML

This property is AMAZING! There are just not enough words to explain how much we loved it. It was exceptional - from the location to the decor to the well stocked kitchen. May checked in regularly to make sure everything was going well. We have stayed at SML several years in the past and this was by far the best property. Bernard's is our favorite location and this is the most beautiful home we've stayed in at Bernard's. I am incredibly particular about cleanliness and I can say that there was not one crumb or dirty spot on any of the 3 floors. If you've never been to Bernard's Landing, this is a prime location. The view is unbeatable and the beach area right outside was a perfect spot for our kids. There were 10 of us (6 adults and 4 kids ages 6-17) and every one of us had a great time. The rooms are perfectly appointed and it worked well for our 3 family units. We can't wait to come back and enjoy Peaceful Haven next year!

About the host

Hosted by May Manhoff

Host profile image
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!
