You'll love this adorable cottage style lake house located right on the lake! There are NO STEPS to our dock!! Enjoy sitting on the large screened sun porch with a perfect view of this quiet cove. Perfect for the entire family - the kids LOVE the water trampoline, sunbathers love the dock with full sun most of the day, and a shaded umbrella table for lunch. Parents love the "NO WAKE" cove where children can jump in and swim right off the dock. Fishermen find our little cove the best spot on the lake-you can fish right off the dock! The beach volleyball court and horseshoes are a favorite with teenagers.
The main level offers a great room with open kitchen and breakfast bar, dining table for eight, living room area with Dish Network TV, movies, puzzles and games and a full bath. Two sliding doors off the living area lead to a beautiful sun porch overlooking the lake. Master Bedroom with King size bed and master bath are also on this main level, with sliders to the sun porch. The open stairs lead to the 2nd level with one Queen bedroom, another Queen bedroom with a single bed and trundle and a family room with a queen size sleep sofa and twin size sleep chair. There is another full bath on this level as well. For your convenience, we have hotel-quality wall mounted hair dryers in all 3 bathrooms. (Guests need to supply their own linens and towels).
Bad weather-no problem...there are two separate living rooms with Dish Network TV and DVD's galore-the kids love the upstairs with the foosball table and authentic slot machine and adults love the downstairs with the open space kitchen and dining room. The screened porch has windows that can be closed during rainstorms, but offer full enjoyment of watching the rain on the lake-then watching the rain subside and sun shine through!
You can't beat the location of this house on the lake-located in "Holiday Hills", a quiet community, a quiet cove, yet near every possible convenience imaginable-grocery stores, gas, golf, marinas, state park, restaurants, and the new Mayberry Drive-In Movie Theatre with a 1950's style family diner.
At night, the fire pit is a favorite for everyone-roast marshmallows right next to the lake and gaze at the stars!

Map & Owner's Profile
No Steps to Great Party Dock-Water Trampoline-Beach Volleyball
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Moneta
Cape Cottage is located on a quiet cove, near shopping, gas, marinas and other lake conveniences. We are in a deep water cove, meaning that we can always navigate our boat in and out, even if the lake level is low. Yet, we are in a NO WAKE cove, which assures that our children can swim safely right off the dock.
Owner's Map of Moneta
Cheryl and Steve Wilhide of Ellicott City, Maryland found that Smith Mountain Lake was the perfect vacation spot. Friends of ours at the lake convinced us to look at property and we were sold! We wanted a place we could vacation with our family and share our house with others as well.

This is our second memorial day weekend at your place. A great way to kick off the summer! The house is clean and cozy. The dock is great and the kids really enjoy the water trampoline! When they tired of the water they played a few games of volleyball. Thanks again for sharing your place with us! Jennifer & Scott Malkus

Thanks for the use of your home! It was clean, convenient, and perfect for our small group. The oversized dock was a huge plus and, from looking around, the relatively flat land was a great benefit! The lake itself was beautiful - although during the day with all of the boats it was more like an ocean which made the no-wake cove even more enjoyable for the kids. Overall great stay at a wonderful house.

The Cape Cottage had everything we needed and more to make our recent trip comfortable and convenient! The home is situated on a beautiful cove and has easy access to the Smith Mountain Lake State Park where we launched out boat. The long enclosed porch overlooking the beautiful waters of the lake is where we spent many evenings. The lounging area on the party dock was also great! The sand volleyball court, horseshoes, fire pit, and water trampoline offered many onsite activities that were free and entertaining after a busy day of boating, skiing, and fishing on the lake. The owner was easy to work with and very conscientious about returning emails and phone calls. The home was clean and well-stocked with the basics that anyone would need. We used this home as a second property because we had rented a larger home right down the road and needed a place for the "overflow" of friends and family. It worked out perfectly all the way around! I would highly recommend the Cape Cottage to anyone looking for a nice "home away from home" that is reasonably priced. We plan on going back!

Late September '08 and '09 we spent an extended weekend at this wonderful cottage as a reunion with our children and grandchildren. What fun we had on the trampoline, water skis and jet skies that could be rented at nearby facilities ( my son took his own boat and ski equipment and put-in at a site close to the cottage). We took picnics on our boat and had meals at restaurants where we docked the boat. We played games and puzzles that were available to us to keep evenings occupied but dishTV was available for those dye-hard viewers. Personally, we appreciated the huge bedroom and bath on the first floor as we are in our late 70's and avoid stairs where possible. We love our home in Florida but cant say enough about this area at Smith Mountain Lake. This house was immaculate and the rooms beautifully decorated. You cant go wrong if you rent here!!!

What a great vacation home to spend a long,relaxing weekend. It was the beginning of October and everything there was beautiful. The cottage was very clean and well equipped, you felt at home as soon as you arrived. It is close to food stores and restaurants. We went to the shopping mall and there were some very cute souvenir shops. It was a little cool for swimming but the lake was very tempting. We took a boat ride around the lake at sunset, it was a great time. We can't wait to return in the summer so that we can swim in the lake. Thanks, Pat

My family and I stayed at the Cape Cottage in early October 2009. We had a great time fishing on the lake and my husband caught several nice size fish. We even bought ice cream from the Ice Cream Float (which my daughter loved). The house was just as described in the ad and exceeded our expectations. The area surrounding the lake has several nice restaurants and cute shops to check out. We are looking forward to returning in the summer to enjoy swimming in the lake and in the fall again to relax. This was a great way to spend time with the family and we have already recommended it to our friends and family. Thanks Steve and Cheryl for introducing us to this beautiful lake.
