Wonderful family vacation!

We rented this home for our family trip of 6 adults and 4 children - 4, 6, 8 and 11 years old. It was perfect for us! We all thoroughly enjoyed the paddle board, kayak and canoe, and the kids entertained themselves in the game room for hours at a time. The house is on a quiet cove and the views are beautiful. Highly recommend!

Inviting, clean, and roomy!

This is our 2nd year returning and it is just as lovely as the first visit. The responsiveness is better than I’ve ever experienced, the House is well stocked and clean, and there are so many pieces of water equipment that this family generously shares. From 11 - 70 all had a blast!

A Space for Everyone!

This is a lovely property filed with so many nice spaces: there really is a spot for everyone. Whether you feel like swimming, reading in the sun, gathering around a campfire or playing board games at night you can find your perfect space to relax and enjoy your vacation. The kitchen is well appointed with many great (extra) appliances and a spacious pantry large enough to store all the food needed for a crowd. We really enjoyed our time at this beautiful home!

Family reunion gathering place

The house was spacious and had lots of room for all who stayed. If there was any questions or information on the house Gwen was prompt to answer. The kitchen was a delight to use with all the comforts and more of home. The outside deck was a great meeting place for the reunion. The dock was ideal for mooring the rental pontoon and all the water craft for us to use was a real treat. Our grandkids learned how to use a kayak. The area was really quiet and peaceful. The paved drive allowed us not to track in any mud during the rain and we loved the barn wood flooring. The house as a whole was great.

Perfect Friends Trip

We have stayed at many homes on SML and this is one of the best. The inside of the home is cozy with room for everyone, an amazingly stocked kitchen, and an area downstairs for the whole group to hang out until the wee hours of the morning without bothering the neighbors. That said, this house really shines with its outdoor spaces. The dock will entertain any group from dusk until dawn. The hot tup and both back decks have great views of the water. The location on the lake is also great for a group that just wants to enjoy the unspoiled parts of SML. Just across the water is our favorite no-wake cove to enjoy all day. Couldn't have asked for a better spot for a great weekend with even better friends.

Perfect setting in nice sized cove. Relaxed on the upper deck and jumped in the lake from the lower deck on the dock. The house is spacious, well kept, updated throughout and well stocked. We enjoyed making s’mores at the picturesque setting firepit. My family agrees this was the best place we’ve rented at Smith Mt. Lake.

Treasure that lives up to its Promises

Older property that is well-maintained. Super comfy and plenty of room to spread out ( we were a party of 10). Game room was a big hit with the kiddos( X-box, air hockey, football, ping pong). Smith Mountain Lake is gorgeous and the cove where property is located provided safe area for kids to play in the water, kayak and paddle board.Plenty of lifejackets for all ages except infants.Upper Dock is awesome with great furniture and lower dock offered easy water access and place to tether our pontoon rental (which I highly recommend if you don’t have your own boat). We rented a tow tube and the kids couldn’t get enough! House is stocked with everything you need to cook. Starter supplies were great and the thoughtful welcome gift was a wonderful surprise . Owner is super nice and responds quickly to questions. House is 3-stories and sits high above the cove so be prepared for steps, but efforts are made to make the trek to the dock as safe and easy as possible. House has two covered decks with rockers and swings which were so nice. Adults enjoyed the hot tub.Kayaks, paddle board provided. We brought our own inflatables which was a great decision.We had a fabulous family vacation thanks to a gracious owner of a great property. Five stars! Thanks for making this home available.

Family time at the lake

The house sits on an amazing cove. We were all about fun in the water and hanging out on the back deck and double decker dock. Being September, it felt like we had the lake to ourselves, it was so quiet. We swam and had great fun on the paddle boards and kayaks. The water was perfect along with the weather. The house was very comfortable for a group of seven. The beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything we could desire. I communicated with the host about a few very minor things and she responded promply. Staying there made me want to come back.

Lake Life

Very nice location but very steep drop down to the lake. House is very well equipped, and comfortable, just a bit dated. The lakeside dock is awesome and you'll spend hours on the back porch. Overall, a quaint lakeside retreat.

We had an amazing stay. With 5 kids, ages 3-7, our 2 families had plenty of space inside and outside to enjoy our stay. The house is stocked - we cooked/grilled each night, played games, made smores, and loved our time on the lake using the paddleboards and kayaks! We rented a boat from Mitchell’s Marina which was easy and close. Highly recommend and hope to stay here again!

My family lives in Atlanta, Georgia. I enjoy working as a High School Counselor.

Why they chose this property

After an extensive "lake house search" nothing I found compared to Smith Mountain Lake. It is quickly becoming a wonderful meeting place for my family that lives both in the north and the south.

What makes this property unique

House that feels like a cabin in a neighborhood with great walking routes and a community boat ramp.
