About this property
Heron Point - Amazing Property with Breathtaking Water Views - Luxury Hot Tub!
New for 2025/2026! - Enclosed outdoor shower with hot water - Tesla Level 2 Universal EV Charger - Tornado T3000 Competition Foosball Table - Extended Landscaping
Enjoy the luxury of having an entire point on the lake to yourself!
Heron Point was designed from the ground up to be the best vacation rental on Smith Mountain Lake in terms of luxury, entertainment and architectural beauty. With a timber frame structure created by the artisans of Floyd, VA and carpentry by the German Baptist craftsmen of Rocky Mount, this home is destined to be a Smith Mountain Lake landmark.
Heron Point is a rare flat, three acre peninsula with a timber frame lodge home in a park-like setting and commands sweeping 180+ degree water views. Standing on the front deck, you won't be able to see where the water ends on either side. The shoreline is over 600 feet long and faces west so be prepared for some amazing sunsets over the lake. The house was built for large groups and boasts several large seating areas where everyone can congregate and socialize, including the great room, front deck, home theater and dock.
Docks & Waterfront
Of course, it wouldn't be a perfect lake vacation without great waterfront amenities. The dock has a floater attached to a larger fixed portion along with plenty of seating and table space for your group. It also features a roll-up bar area for entertaining, with a full-sized 14.3 cu ft top freezer fridge inside as well as several GFCI electrical outlets for charging devices (or maybe hooking up a drink blender). A 55" outdoor 4K TV let you stream your favorite shows at the dock! Ceiling fans are provided to keep you cool as you relax and enjoy the waterside views.
The floater provides an awesome swimming platform and with built-in bumpers on two sides is also a great place to tie up water craft. Three canoes and four kayaks are provided for renter use.
Although the house is on a peninsula, the main dock is located within a cove and protected from the direct flow of water traffic allowing for stress free swimming and floating. Directly alongside the main dock is a sandy beach area for the kids with access to the water via natural stone steps. Given its location off Craddock and Hatcher Creeks, expect clear water and access to some great marinas and waterfront restaurants.
Nighttime Entertainment
Because the sun must set at some point, we've included an unparalleled array of nighttime activities. The centerpiece is Heron Point Theater. This custom-built premium home theater boasts a 120-inch screen, 4K projector and three rows of tiered seating on luxury leather chairs. The two front rows feature ten powered reclining chairs with lighted cup holders and removable tray tables. The bar seating on the back row allows for more casual viewing, maybe while enjoying a tray of snacks. An assortment of over 60 Blu-ray movies is provided along with many streaming options. The premium sound system, 4K projector and customizable colored lighting will blow you away.
Just outside of the theater is a snack bar with a wet sink, microwave, drink blender, dedicated 25 pound Whirlpool Gold ice maker, beverage/wine cooler and a Fisher Paykel drawer dishwasher.
The Heron Point Game Room sports two TVs, each connected to a PlayStation 5 and XBox Series X, along with an exciting selection of video games. Also featured is a premium Foosball table, shuffleboard table and Mahogany/Slate pool table. In addition there is a video game cocktail table with classics such as Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders and over 1000 others. For music while you're playing, the room has an Alexa-enabled jukebox with color changing lights. Seating includes six bar stools and three bean bag chairs. So be prepared for fun!
Sleeping Accommodations
5,000 square feet of living space is designed to maximize its usability and your comfort. The house has a sleeping capacity of 16 people and has numerous sleeping configurations depending on the makeup of your party. Two of the rooms can either be used as common areas by day and bedrooms by night (or common areas full time, your choice!). On the lower floor there are two bunk rooms with two twin over full bunk beds each (4 twin + 4 full total), perfect for the younger people in your group or if you just need sleeping space. The lower floor also has a corner suite with lake views from both sides and both a shower and Jacuzzi tub. The suite also has access to a private patio area with two Adirondack chairs.
The main floor provides step free access from the driveway to both a king bedroom suite and queen Murphy bed room. These two rooms have direct access to a large luxury handicap accessible bathroom, including a curb free shower with grab bar and two roll under sinks. The bathroom also has a two person Jacuzzi tub looking out over the lake and has water jets, air jets and Chroma therapy lighting. The doors to the bathroom can be configured to allow for either the king bedroom or the Murphy bed room to be used as a suite or for the two to share the bathroom between them.
The two suites on the upper level have queen beds positioned under and between two skylights. You can lie in bed and look up at the stars! These bedrooms also have amazing water views from the skylights and the other large windows. The upper level also has a central bedroom with three twin built-in beds. By use of a four pocket door set this room can be fully enclosed. While lounging in the loft beds the glass railings allow you to take in the views from the lake. One of the suite bathrooms can be shared with the loft bedroom if desired by leaving open the outer of the two doors to the suite bedroom.
Throughout the home, hotel style bathrooms and luxury rain shower heads show that this is no ordinary rental accommodation.
Other Features
Yet another unique feature of this property is that it has its own boat ramp so no need to pay additional boat ramp fees! Please note that it is a gravel ramp with a gentle slope and if you need a more substantial boat ramp, there is a marina a 5 min drive away.
Also, don't spoil the surprise for the kids but the house has a secret small playroom hidden behind a bookcase! We've been happy to receive many compliments on this unique feature.

Loved that the wood was stocked for the fire pit and the numerous comfy places inside and out are wonderful for making great memories with family and friends.
We had a wonderful stay at Heron Point. It was January and I knew it would be cold, so having a hot tub, a game room and a theater were high on our list. Heron Point did not disappoint. With 8 adults and 7 children (ages 2-14) there was something for everyone. The home was spacious and clean, the theater, game room and hot tub were spectacular, and the host was easy to communicate with. We highly recommend!
Fantastic stay and fantastic host. Our group has looked around this area extensively over the years, and Rob’s property is the best we have found. It’s our second visit and very likely not our last!
This is an absolutely stunning property. We had a great family reunion at Heron Point. The dock and hot tub were our favorite features. The views were fabulous from all the decks and the fire pit was great fun.
After five family Thanksgivings at this lovely location, it just keeps getting better. Our family feels it would not be Thanksgiving if we were not a Heron Point. bFrom the house to the host, it just doesn't get any better.
Great host! It is beautiful home with wonderful views of the lake. I love how everything is labeled for ease of use. You don't have to wander around trying to figure out which light switch controls which light. For large family gathering or small corporate retreat, this home is great!
Not many places are better than the photos but Heron Point is and the photos make it look exceptional. Incredibly clean, very well stocked with everything you need. Very responsive property management as well. One of the best rentals I have ever had.
This home is beautiful! It has magnificent views, comfortable accommodations and lots of room for visiting and many fun activities for all ages. The host promptly answered any questions we had and was very kind and helpful. The house was very clean and the kitchen is well-appointed. Looking forward to coming back next year.
