Great location and clean property.

Very nice owner. Quick to respond. Main level and deck are great. However the basement level and its second bathroom are dark and uninviting.

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.

Overall wonderful. It appears the cleaning was surface and possibly rushed. found a vaping device under a couch cushion, and dust in the bathroom on the toilet tank. vacuum cleaner overheated 10 minutes into using it. pots for cooking not the best, thankfully, my son-in-law's parents live nearby (didn't know this before renting so really nice surprise) so I was able to secure a griddle and cast iron frying pan. I believe the one smoke detector I could find wasn't working.

Another wonderful stay

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.

It clean. There were no linens, the owner warned us about 2 hours down the road. There was only one bathroom inside. The furniture was worn and out -dated . the deck and the lake were beautiful and with our little family there we had a great time, no thanks to the lodging. I used to own a rental vacation house so I kinda know what to expect. I had to apologize all weekend, because of the accomanations. Never again

Book This Listing For Pure Enjoyment

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!

Great place to share with family and friends

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!
