Location: Moneta, Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia, USA (Roanoke is 45 minutes; Lynchburg is 60 minutes) View Map
Accommodations: Condominium, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
Bernards Landing is generally acknowledged to be the premier resort on Smith Mountain Lake, with homes priced from approximately $270,000 to over $800,000. The resort has every amenity including two swimming pools, racquetball, a private health club, a Jacuzzi, an award-winning waterfront gourmet restaurant, a waterfront tiki bar lounge, a marina, a sandy beach, boat ramp, and boat docks.
Our condominium sits on a slight grassy hill and overlooks a broad cove with the mountains in the background. Our ground floor unit opens to a broad deck that runs the width of the condominium, and to a manicured grassy field that slopes to the water, the sandy beach, and the boat slips available for your boat. Sliding glass doors extend across the back of the condominium and afford a broad view of the mountains to the left and the lake to the right. The southeasterly view offers a magnificent view of the sun rising over the mountains. At night, the moon rising over the mountain reflects off the water for truly romantic setting.
The lake and the many outdoor facilities at Bernards are enough to keep anyone busy, but we realize that everyone must come inside at some point. Our condominium is in excellent condition and beautifully furnished to offer you everything that you might need to make your vacation a memorable stay. The living room and dining room stretch across the back of the condominium, and offer lake and mountain views. A wood-burning fireplace in the corner of the living room is available if you need to warm up a chilly night, or just to give a warm glow to a romantic evening.
As most rentals, we furnish two TVs with cable, but we also provide a VCR with a collection of video tapes - old and new - for your relaxation. An assortment of board games, card, books, and magazines are also provided.
Our unit includes all linens, towels, and paper products. The only thing that you will need to bring is your food, laundry detergent, hair dryer and beach towels. A washer and dryer are furnished for your convenience.
If you prefer to dine out, there is a world-class restaurant (voted best in the Roanoke area) overlooking the marina and just a short walk across the street. A cozy tiki bar, open year round, offers entertainment during the summer, and a snack bar is located at one of the pools during the summer season. There are several other restaurants within a 10 minute or less drive from our condo.

Smith Mountain lake is the largest freshwater lake in Virginia and has often been called the "Lake Tahoe" of the East. The waters are clean and clear, and the mountains plunging steeply into the water are truly dramatic. The lake is over 40 miles long, has a shore line of over 500 miles, and offers some of the best water sports and fishing on the east coast. Most of the state's Striped Bass records have been caught in Smith Mountain, including the current state record of approximately 54 pounds.

Map & Owner's Profile
Bernards Landing Romantic Getaway
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Moneta
We love Smith Mountain Lake because of the crystal clear waters, the hills and the mountains, and the friendly people. When we come in after a day on the water we feel clean and we don't have to wash the sand and salt water off.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
We love the views of the lake and the hills. Bernards Landing has so much open space that you can't find in the newer developements. We love the early morning walks on the peninsula watching the sun rise over the mountain or the late afternoon sunset over the lake. The fact that the Landing Restaurant and the Tike Bar is across the street is really nice at night when we want to go out.
Owner's Map of Moneta
We live and work in Richmond, VA (2 and one/half hours away) and visit Smith Mountain Lake whenever we can (which is not often enough). We are several years away from retirement but hope to semi-retire at the lake some day. We have made many friends at the lake and now consider that home (we just aren't living there yet). Ken is self employed and operates several businesses and Peggy works for the Federal Courts. When at the lake, we enjoy boating, relaxing, and visiting with our friends.
