We stayed with my family for our wedding weekend at Bernard’s and I could not have imagined a better location and house!! It was comfortable with beautiful views, plenty of space and a stocked kitchen. May was very nice and flexible when my car died and I had to extend my stay to get it jump started. Overall…perfect in every way!
Everything was perfect from communication with the property manager to how beautiful the home was! Amazing view of the lake, and all the comforts of home.
Bernard's Landing is one of my family's favorite places to visit. Peaceful Haven is a very lovely home, right on Smith Mountain Lake, that is beautifully appointed and very clean. The beds were super comfortable, too! The owner, May, was quick to respond to all questions, which we appreciated. We didn't use all that was available--bikes, kayaks, a grill, but it was nice to know they were there.
The stay was beyond expectation! My family had an amazing experience! May was very communicative and always available. I recommend this unit and would love to stay here again!!
Peaceful Haven lived up to its name as we had a fabulous stay with two sets of parents and our two daughters. What a special place and experience. The views are truly breathtaking! We are already looking at the calendar for when we can return.

Thank you Robin! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Looking forward to your next visit! - May
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!
Accommodations were great with some of the best views on the lake. Home was very well equipped with everything you would need for a week’s stay at the lake. Would highly recommend this location to families or a group of ten people. Hoping to possibly stay here again in the future!
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 had a great time, and felt the place was very well appointed, and well situated. Everything was clean and updated, and all the appliances worked. The lake and mountain views were very restorative and the little beach close by provided easy access to the lake for my two year old granddaughter. Communication was prompt and accurate. Check-in and check out were seamless. We were a party of nine, (6 adults, 3 children) and felt everyone had the space and bathrooms they needed to feel comfortable. It was an easy walking distance to the clubhouse and restaurant. Excellent location for a week of relaxation and a great introduction to Smith Mountain Lake.
Great, well updated house with incredible views. We had 2 toddler's with us and they enjoyed the small beach area just outside the back door. There was something for everyone at this house.

Thank you Justin for a great review. I'm happy to hear that enjoyed your stay. Hope you'll come back and stay with us again soon! - May
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!
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

Thank you Brandon for a wonderful review. Hope you'll think of us again on your next visit to Smith Mountain Lake. - May
We’ve been coming to Smith Mountain Lake for 34 years. We stayed in many lovely places both homes and condos and this has got to be the best location with the best view. Our hostess May was remarkable responding to any question or request immediately. The house was immaculate, the beds were super comfortable and the kitchen well stocked! We will definitely be back!

Thank you Karen for such kind words. We look forward to your next visit! - May
We were fortunate enough to have an early check in….. May, our hostess, should receive an award for her communication skills! The house was beyond, along with the location.
It was everything we needed…..
As a family, we always do a yearly vacation, this was by far, one of our best!
This unit was amazing and perfect for our 4 couples. The view right on the lake was beautiful, the house was so well stocked with everything you could possibly want or need, everyone in our group commented on how comfortable the beds were. It was just a beautiful, well decorated and furnished town house. We will definitely come back and stay in this exact location/unit!!
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 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!
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!

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!
