With ample space to dock a boat or jet-skis, you can enjoy all that lake-front vacations have to offer. Floats and water noodles are available in the deck box - adding to your afternoon enjoyment. The quiet cove is just off the main channel, and a perfect location only 10 minutes from Bridgewater Plaza & downtown Moneta. Additionally, right in the neighborhood, appreciate having access to a community pool, boat ramp, and tennis courts.

The interior of the home is just as beautiful as the exterior. As you walk inside, you will immediately take notice of the open-concept living room, dining area, and kitchen - framed by vaulted ceilings. Settle down and enjoy the comfortable seating in the living room while you stream your favorite show and warm up by the heat of the gas fireplace. When hunger arises, the well-appointed kitchen makes cooking a breeze with its updated appliances, granite countertops, and center island/breakfast bar. With numerous spots to dine, enjoy eating inside at the formal dining table, or dine alfresco with sweeping views.

With four bedrooms to sprawl out in, rest assured that everyone will have the space they need to get comfortable. The main level has a king master bedroom with bathroom attached. There's also a queen bedroom with attached bathroom. In the basement, there's a king bedroom with attached bathroom and a bunk room. The rooms are equally spacious with great perks like TVs, work desks, high-quality linens, ceiling fans, and ample storage space. The primary bedroom even has its own private access to the deck and lounge seating. A great additional interior perk, the downstairs family room includes a sleeper sofa, DVD player with movies for family movie night, and plenty of board games. The bottom level also has a kitchenette for movie night snack. Off of the kitchen upstairs is a separate laundry room and pantry. The garage even has an air hockey table for the kids. Tennis rackets and pickle ball accessories available for your enjoyment.

As the sun begins to set over Smith Mountain Lake, head for the expansive covered deck - complete with ample seating. Pair your evenings with barbecued meals, prepared on the gas grill, and serene moments overlooking the lake while sitting around the gas fire pit or on the wooden swing nestled between the trees.

This home has all of the components of the perfect lakeside retreat here - all that’s left to do is book!

The stay was wonderful for my family. Here are some thoughts from various members of my family:- The kitchen was very well equipped. The host left a small bag of individual dish soap, a new sponge, and 3 or 4 new trash bags for the kitchen. There were a three or four dish towels, but since there was no dish drying rack, one had to be dedicated to that. I was glad that I brought extra dish rags, dry towels, and spare trash bags (we needed more than were provided).- There were all the spices we needed, so I didn't need to break into my travel spices. I'm very particular about some things so I always bring a good cutting board, one good general purpose thick-bottomed frying pan, and my own knives, but I could have worked with the ones there. They have a good selection of all of those.- The back deck, patio, dock, and party deck were all awesome. We got in the habit of going down to the party deck around dusk to see the sunset. There wasn't a direct view but it was beautiful.- The kids say the bunk beds were awesome and comfortable.- There were lots of things to entertain the kids and family including but not limited to: basketball, board games, stuffies, kid toys, ping pong, air hockey, croquet set, horseshoes, etc...- The community pool was great. - The dock had pool noodles, live vests, kayaks, a paddle board, and some floaties.The only complaint we had was the grand parents felt the showers were far to slippery and need some traction pads and support bars installed.
