Perfection

The house was perfect for our family. A great slope down to the water, just what you need in the kitchen and beds were comfortable. Deep water at the dock was great!

Castaway

We booked this property on fairly short notice as a getaway for Independence Day week. This was our first time visiting Smith Mountain Lake. The house and location were absolutely perfect for our family of four and our dog! The house was very clean and comfortable. It's located in a deep "no wake" cove on Smith Mountain Lake close to Parkway Marina. Being able to dock our boat at the boathouse located on the property made boating very convenient. The house had three bedrooms and a full bath upstairs as well as a full bath downstairs and a large daybed. The back yard is a hill that leads down to the boathouse. While staying at the property we enjoyed boating on the lake, horseback riding at Spring Valley Farm, and taking a sightseeing airplane ride with Smith Mountain Lake Aviation located just up the road from the property. Overall, we had a relaxing and memorable time and can't wait to stay at this property again!

Fantastic location

The house is really nice with a mild walk down to a very large and nice dock. Lots of deer around the property and a short driving distance to multiple places to get groceries. Note to future guests - the house has a weird mix of 8 kitchen items you probably dont need 8 of but then only 1 spatula hah. So id bring a small set of your favorite kitchen items.
