Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location at Bernard's Landing in Moneta, VA. The Landing Restaurant was our favorite place for dinner, even on a slow Monday evening. We had the BEST steak ever!! And the "sides" were great too. This four-bedroom condo is WELL KEPT, clean, and the view is absolutely breathtaking! Two bedrooms are on the same level (main floor) and those two share a large bathroom which we liked. Another bedroom is upstairs in the loft area (with bath), and the other one is downstairs in a quiet place (with bath), and with a great view of the lake. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants a great get-away! The owner is so nice to talk with and he'll go above and beyond to please his renters.

Henry was very easy to deal with from the first communication. He was super accomodating in helping to determine if my handicapped father could access the property, including offering special help if needed (which we did not need:). It was great to dock our pontoon boat right in front of the condo at the guest dock, the launch ramp is very nice, and the trailer storage area is convenient. The view from the unit, especially the covered decks, is awesome-one of the best on the lake. We and our guests really enjoyed the property, including the outdoor pool right across the street at the clubhouse. There was a wedding celebration at the clubhouse the first night of our stay, and we got to enjoy their small but impressive fireworks display. We also enjoyed kayaking around Bernard's Landing from the dock. We had breakfast, most lunches, and several dinners at the condo while enjoying the lake and Smith Mountain view. It was nice to not have to worry about bringing your own linens, towels, and paper products. The washer and dryer also came in handy. We highly recommend staying here, and can't wait to return. Thanks Henry!

What a wonderful time we had in this beautiful home! As soon as I learned that my son and his fiance had chosen Bernard's for their wedding I went online and found Mr. Thaxton's listing. One of the first reviews included how perfect it was for those with Bernard's as a wedding venue. It was everything we hoped it would be. We stayed the entire week after the wedding. The accommodations were lovely and spacious and the view is breath- taking! Mr. Thaxton goes above and beyond to make sure his guests enjoy their stay. I would highly recommend this wonderful place to anyone!

Thank you Mr.Thaxton for a wonderful home base for our son's wedding at Bernard's Landing! The location is spectacular-right across from the clubhouse/reception area. With lake views that were incredible. We could park our car and never use it again! Your home is lovely with all the extras for making trips less stressful. You were so helpful and gracious with information about SML and Bernard's. We rented a boat from the Marina right next to our complex and docked it right behind our unit. The food at the Landing Restaurant was fabulous and the fireworks for Memorial day were breathtaking. Most importantly, our son had a memorable wedding day--perfect setting, weather. Will most definitely return!

Thank you for letting us use your lovely home as our home base for our son's wedding at Bernard's Landing. It was the most convenient of all the accomodations at the resort as it is right across from the clubhouse (reception site) and has spectacular lake front views out the back. We were able to park our car and never use it during our stay as the wonderful Landing Restaurant was close by and the marina where we rented our boat was there also. We were able to dock it right outside our townhouse! Thank you for providing all the little amenities that made the stay easier (linens, paper products, soap). We will most definitely be back :)

I should have known from the first time that I spoke with Mr. Thaxton, that my visit to his rental property at Barnards Landing on Smith Mountain Lake would be a most pleasant and positive experience! The condominium was everything he promised it would be! The views were spectacular, while the layout and design of the condo was perfect! It was so easy to dock our boat, as well as rent and utilize a pontoon boat. Everything we needed was close and so easily accessible. And the rental itself was stocked with all the essentials needed for our stay. Such wonderful hospitality! We will definitely be back for another visit...hopefully sooner rather than later!

Thank you so very much! I had people visiting town for a surprise party that came from Denver,Atlanta, Charlotte, Columbus and beyond and everyone was impressed with the accomadations! What a gorgeous view and the fact that this condo is right across from the clubhouse was so fun for the group to use the workout room, raquetball court and hot tub. The condo really had everything we needed already there!! Everyone is already talking about coming back in the summer. Thanks!

Comment Text: Our group of six women had a great time at Mr. Thaxton's townhouse/condo. It is a very spacious waterfront unit with great views of the lake and mountains. With this weekend's chilly weather we especially appreciated the living room fireplace! The home is stocked with everything you need for a great vacation:a fully equipped kitchen;lots of spare blankets for chilly mornings; washer and dryer; games and videos; linens, towels and paper products. This unit is directly across from the clubhouse which has an indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, workout room, handball courts, and libraries stocked with books. There is also an outdoor pool (which was closed for the season) and outdoor hot tub (which was not hot enough to stay in when the temps were in the 40's) and a small game room outside. Bernard's Landing is a short (15 minute) drive from grocery stores, drug stores, shopping, restaurants and anything else you might need. We especially enjoyed our dinner at Blackwater Creek. Mr. Thaxton called early in our stay to make sure everything was as expected and has been very easy to deal with. We will definitely rent his place again if we return to Smith Mtn. Lake.

"Our Vacation Aug 8 - 15th 2009" "The rental unit was lovely and very spacious, even with our " eclectic" crew of people. Many generations happily co-existing!! Our special needs child was quite happy with the many televisions! The unit is located right on the lake which is quite beautiful and the lower patio and upper deck were such a nice bonus. We spent our evenings on the deck enjoying the view and feeding the ducks. We plan on returning next summer. One could not ask for a nicer place to visit and it was such a pleasure meeting Henry. He has a kind heart and a great spirit. Thanks, Susan ( to include my mother and sister who vacationed with us)"

We had a wonderful time at the Lake. The owner of this unit could not have been nicer or more accommodating - truly a delight to deal with. The property is ideally situated close to sandy beach, pool/clubhouse, restaurant, marina and dock. The view is completely amazing and we enjoyed sunrises daily on the deck as well as sunsets across the street at the sandy beach. Every convenience and amenity is provided and the unit was quite clean. A wonderful place to stay and I'm sure we'll be back.

We had a wonderful time at Smith Mountain Lake and the townhome was great!! It was really clean, had all the amenities we needed, and best of all, had such a beautiful view of the lake and Smith Mountain. The dock where we kept our boat was just steps away.

One of the best we have found on the lake WV Visitor Charleston, WV Review Submitted: July 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009 This townhouse came with everything (and more) advertised on the site. We have been vacationing on the lake for 22 years and have found Bernard's Landing as the place we keep coming back to visit. This unit was very close to all the amenities of the Bernard's Landing. It provided the perfect spot for photography from the deck, was clean, roomy and most of all had the best customer service we have ever experienced at SML! We loved walking across the street to the tennis courts too. Bernard's Landing has something for everyone all within a safe, well maintained, park like setting. We hope to be back next summer.

The townhome was very nice and clean and had all the necessities available for a care-free family vacation. The location of this townhouse is ideal for many reasons. It is directly across the street from the resort pool, game room & hot tub, making it very easy to navigate, especially if you have children (we had 4 in the age range of 8 thru 12.) It's also within a short walk of a very nice restaurant and boat rental. However, the best part was the location on the lake which made navigation of our jet-skis a breeze. There were many safe places really close by to take the kids tubing and wakeboarding. Also, the dock directly behind the townhouse was perfect for docking and mooring jet-skis and tubes. Additionally, the staff at Bernard's Landing were incredibly nice and welcoming. Finally, to echo another guest's comments, the owner of townhome is one of the nicest people you will ever deal with. I have no hesitation in recommending this townhouse to others and would strongly encourage you to make contact with the owner. I was certainly glad I did as the end result was a wonderfully peaceful family vacation during the summer of 2008.

What a view! The warm November weather allowed us to spend time outside on the deck. Inside is very spacious -- lots of room for our family. Perfect location as pool and amenities are right across the street.

Excellent! The accomodations were everything we were led to believe they would be. The unit was clean. The decor was well-done and very comfortable. Excellent location just across the street from a pool with 2 docks readily accessable for fishing or docking. The sandy beach was a real treat for our 2 small grandchildren who are, as yet, unable to swim in the lake itself. We hope to go back again. Soon!

Wonderful townhome! Everything you could possibly need is there for you. If you have children, the location of this townhouse is ideal since it is literally across the street from the pool, game room & hot tub. Owner of townhome is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. We will be back!

The view from this townhome is breathtaking. This unit is completely furnished so that you just purchase groceries and you are ready to go. The neighbors were great as well. We hope to be there again next year

We loved it. The view was incredible and the townhome was nicely decorated. Very spacious, large bedrooms, two large decks. It's straight across the street from the pool and tennis courts.
