This latest stay at the Huddleston lake house was our second, a return from last year, which expresses our satisfaction. The location is a perfect summertime getaway for a family that enjoys water activities with a view!
Place was awesome , hope to be back next year !Owner was great to communicate with answered all questions! House was up lifting a was everything we expected! Plenty to do , easy to keep five year old occupied!
The property was great and family friendly. We enjoyed our stay and its proximity to Mitchell's Point Marina, which allowed us to rent a boat for the day with ease.

The view from the screened in porch is beautiful. The dock with plenty of seating was very nice. Easy access to the beach was wonderful. There were many repairs when we were there that needed attention. The couch and chairs in the picture had been switched out for a couch very old and uncomfortable. The basement was uninviting to sleep or hang out.
We had THE BEST time staying at the lake house. I only wish we could have stayed a little longer! The house is cozy, open concept kitchen/dining/living so great community space for family/friends. The zero entry into the lake and the deck are just a dream. The weather was perfect, we brought floats and just floated around and layed around the deck a majority of the day. We had a seafood boil out on the deck table at night and enjoyed time by the fire afterward. Scott was attentive when we had any questions or concerns….I will definitely be back. Probably more than once! 100/10. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with family and friends and like being outdoors on the water, this is your place. Thank you, Scott!
Another great stay at “Lake living at its finest!”
This sweet little cottage was perfect for our end of summer SML visit. Our favorite spot (next to the awesome wide lake view from dock) was the cozy screen porch-from morning coffee, lunch, to wine-time and dinner- this was our go-to indoor space. Can’t wait to return.
My family and I have stayed at various locations throughout Smith Mountain Lake and this lake house quickly became our home. All the amenities were as described and access to this quiet area of the lake was perfect. Great mountain and lake views and enough relaxing fun for the entire family. Book early!
This was a great place to stay for our family. The owner had everything set up nicely and was very responsive in communication leading up to and throughout our stay. It’s a beautiful place which a spectacular view on the lake.
Would definitely recommend staying here and we will certainly do so again!!
The house had all we needed to have a great time, the kids spent a lot of time on paddle boards and we had a wonderful stay enjoying the lake, watching movies, board games, the fire pit and the grill. The host was friendly and always responsive. Would recommend for sure!
