Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2002
My husband and I and our 4 children spent many summers vacationing on SML. Finally after many years we found this home on Easy St. (I always wanted to say I live on Easy St.) We have had great fun renovating. In '09 our big project was the new cumaru dock, and replacing the appliances and adding an extra refrigerator. We hope you enjoy as much as our family. Will be glad to email you more pictures via Kodak easy share.
Why the Owner Chose Moneta
We bought this property primarily for the 650' shoreline and the lack of steps from the house to the party dock. We also loved the fact that we did not have to share the cove with another dock, which afforded great privacy. Our 6 grandchildren always look forward to coming to the LAKE. They especially love water skiing, tubing, canoeing, sailing, fishing, playing games, and cooking pies with PaPa. Also miniature golf, arcade games, rock climbing and shopping at nearby Bridgewater Plaza.
The Unique Benefits of this House
We never feel crowded. The smaller children love playing in the water from the beach, while others are diving from the dock or fishing. The sunroom often attracts the older crowd while others enjoy activities in the family room. All meals are spent together, at the large picnic table or the kitchen table. The Lake house is where our family reconnects and rediscovers the "warm fuzzies!"

One of the best vacation homes I've rented
Guest: Sally
(Stockton, N.J. USA)
Date of Stay: 08/07/10
Review Submitted: 08/16/10
Our family (8 adults, 12 year old, 5 year old, 2 year old, 7 month old and 2 month old) spent our vacation in the Hulett house last week and we all agreed that it was one of the best vacations ever. As noted by others the cove area was one of the best parts of the property. Without it there really would have been no place for our little ones to enjoy the water. The house itself was clean and very comfortable with lots of places to sit and read or chat or just look out at the lake. While we did not eat many meals outside we did use the party deck every evening for just relaxing and enjoying the night time air. The comfortable rockers on the front porch were one of my favorite places to escape the unseasonably hot sun this year. The kitchen is very well stocked and the extra refridgerator came in handy for keeping all our beverages in. In a nut shell we liked the lake and the house so much I have already requested that Carolyn book our family in for August of 2011......

Wonderful family vacation house

We spent a wonderful family weekend at this lovely home right on the lake. Very spacious accommodation, with four private bedrooms on the main floor and great bedroom upstairs with bunk beds for children. Lovely cathedral-ceiling family room overlooking the lake with lots of seating for family gatherings. Sunroom for reading, cocktails or smaller gatherings. Well-equipped kitchen. Dock on the lake is a great spot to relax, soak up the sun, watch speed boats on the lake, and enjoy magnificent sunrises and sunsets. Thanks for a great weekend. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Great Lake Vacation home

Review Submitted: 07/21/11
Our family got together for a week to relax and play. The house layout is different but not a negative. We spent most of our time on the deck which is wonderful-shade in the morning and late afternoon but sun the rest of the day. The property is great and you're surrounded by the lake with excellent views from house. We spent time in the sunroom with its great views-a wonderful place to read. The marina is close which our teenagers appreciated and the upstairs room was perfect for our boys. Carolyn is a perfect host and was responsive to all of our needs. I highly recommend this house and Smith Mountain Lake. Two golf courses (Mariner's Landing and Westlake) are within 20-25 minutes and there are plenty of dining options around (Jonathans and Blackwater Cafe were both nice).

Great Family Convening

I had family comming from all over, some as far away as Georgia, for vacation. This place was perfect. 4 familys, including my 80+ yo parents all convened for a week of fun and boating. The dock provided perfect spots for the 2 boats and jet skis which came along. We travled the lake sightseeing and fishing. The channel out front provided excelent skiing for the ones on the dock to see. The house was extremely comfortable for all of us. We used the grill on the back deck for most of our dinners. Alot of time was spent on the "party deck" of the dock and the kids made great use of the wonderfull beach area. This was a perfect vacation spot. I look foward to returning!

College friends of 50 years converged on the site and found just what we needed there - a dock looking over water so cyrstal clear, a family room and another family room! And a little corner hide-away too - if we wanted to find a corner for peace and solitude. Jig saw puzzles! Completed two. A table seating 9 comfortably, a kitchen easy for a team of 3 or 4 to work together preparing dinner, parking for 4 cars close to the front door, books to read, adirondack chairs down by the water on the lower level, beds that were so-o-o-o comfy! The dock where we gathered for morning coffee and really didn't want to leave for the entire day - was the favorite!! These friends have been vacationing together for 17 years, finding a new "home" in a new location each year. This house seemed to be the best ever! Thank you Carolyn! for sharing your marvelous home.

FANTASTIC LAKE HOUSE!!!!
Guest: Andrew
(Broadway, VA)
Date of Stay: 09/13/10
Review Submitted: 09/25/10
Fantastic lake house! We loved the unique layout. GREAT home for people with disabilities. Lots of entrances to the various bedrooms/living areas so you can by-pass stairs. We could not have asked for a more accessible party deck with beautiful views. We loved not having to bring our own linen! Saved a lot of space in the vehicles. Extra full size fridge was very welcome. Hard to store food for 9 or more people in a single fridge. Carolyn has thought of everything! Several marinas are very close and made boat rental very easy and able to pick up/drop off folks right at the dock at the house. We have been coming to the lake for 8 years and have stayed at several different lake houses. Carolyn's home is by far the best bang for the buck. She was a pleasure to deal with and understandably proud of her home (We had a great conversation about the home's design and history!) We'll see you next year.

We had the perfect weekend at your beautiful home. The house was immaculate and smelled wonderful when we walked in. It was great having an extra refrigerator and your two new bedrooms are beautiful. We spent alot of time on the party deck and were able to enjoy the water this year because it was so warm! We're already planning our get-away for next year and are talking about even staying longer. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

Great Place/Location for 10 Adults on B-Day Trip
Guest: Jimmy
(Northern Neck, VA)
Date of Stay: 09/09/10
Review Submitted: 09/13/10
My three day weekend was great. I finally got to relax once I saw the location, walked around the perimeter of the house, and hung out on the back deck. It took a couple of minutes to take it all in. The outside landscaping was nice. Once inside, I knew I chose a great place. The house was clean and the second refrigerator was very useful. The floor plan is somewhat of a maze and has three different ways to get in from the front. Very helpful while loading and unloading the car. The large kitchen table was perfect for my 10 person group. I enjoyed looking out at the lake and the bridge off in the distance while I ate. I wasn't looking for a crowd and didn't find one by going the weekend after Labor Day Weekend. The local shops/bar at Bridgewater Plaza was a short boat ride, but look to rent a boat elsewhere. If you rent a Boat for two days make sure you get it for 48 hours and not 8am-6 pm each day. I rented a Pontoon boat at 9 AM on Friday and had to return it at 6 PM on Saturday. Would of like to had more time without paying an extra $50 to return it Sunday morning.You will find a nice Food Lion at the end of the Diamond Road. I recommend you take the extra trip to Kroger's in the Westlake Shopping Center. It will be worth your trip. The small bait shop near the house is worth a visit. Thank you Carolyn for all your help in setting this trip up and quick responses to all my questions. It's going to hard to go back to a tent after this Lake House Vaction.

Good Location

Review Submitted: 09/08/10
Very nice place to stay for a family with grand-children. The house is a bit smelly, but warm and beautiful so is the view outside. This place makes you forget about everything and enjoy each day in a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere, just what a perfect vacation should be all about… We had four wonderful days there and … now it is time to pay the bill – even for a plumber. This is not a new house, so look out for the toilet leaks and clogs. Apparently, there was one in the bathroom upstairs that quite honestly we didn’t know about until the owner told us. We did notice though that the shower downstairs was not working well at all. On top of that, we were blamed for not stripping the beds. And least but not last, one door that stays unlocked after you leave (and there is a half of a dozen of them in there) will result in a complain. Not to mansion the fact that we had to park the 5th car at a place we rented a boat and jet skis from. Good thing the place was very safe (Bridgewater Plaza). So, keep in mind that there are only 4 cars allowed to be parked next to the house with plenty of parking space! Finally, as an advice, check everything twice behind yourself, definitely call whenever you see that something is wrong or you’ll be left without a security deposit! Almost forgot to say that the e-mail is just for rent confirmation, you’ll never hear a response if something concerns you or you have a question.
Owner response:We are so glad you found the house warm and beautiful and enjoyed your stay as much as our family. I understand that you left a day before your friend that used the upstairs bed and bath, so I am sure you were unaware of the situation. When the housekeeper arrived, water was coming from the upstairs commode, through the light fixture on to the new carpet below - damaging the carpet, light fixture and ceiling. Your friend called me to confirm the damage. He was aware of the overflow and stated this was the cost of doing business. I leave phone numbers for both myself and my housekeeper for situations like this. I only wish he had used them. As it turns out there was no leak, the commode was stopped up. Although this has not happened before, we do supply each bathroom with a plunger. It is so unfortunate that none of this needed to happen. The total deposit will only cover part of the damages. Although we request that you strip beds and lock the exterior doors upon departure, we do not withhold the deposit when this is not done. As you probably know by now, your guests email went to my spam folder. When I found it I responded immediately. We work very hard to maintain a comfortable home and are upset when it does not work out.
