Family Trip

Lovely house with a beautiful view of the lake. Lots of great spaces to enjoy family meals both inside and outside to enjoy the view. During the reservation process and leading up to our stay the owner has went above and beyond to communicate and assist us in any way he could. It was a wonderful stay and would definitely book again!

It was clean. Kitchen is very nice, all the basics were there. The place has an old vibe. Beds were ok. Pillows awful, totally flat. Bathrooms ok. Hot water was inadequate, luke warm in two out of three bathrooms. I heard the couch in living room you sunk in when seated. Not good. Decor old (including bed linens), dated. Place seemed dark and just outdated. I would not recommend..... Has LOTS of potential. Hire a decorator.

Wonderful!

5 friends spent the weekend enjoying the beautiful lake view and warm sunshine from the amazing front deck! The house was just right for the 5 of us and we especially liked having 3 baths! The kitchen was so nice and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We are already planning to return in 2025!

Great Host & Perfect Location

Location is ideal, close to shops and restaurants by boat or by car. Nice easy walk to the lake from the house, great dock. The house was cozy and had plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy themselves. The house was well stocked and the host was great at telling us everything we needed to know ahead of our stay. This was the best lake house we have stayed at yet and look forward to go back next summer!

Delightful clean, well-appointed lakeside house

We had a wonderful 10 days at Autumn Cove. The house was spotlessly clean & furnished to a high standard. Visiting from Scotland, we were grateful that our host was very efficient in answering the few email queries we had. We arranged linen hire from 'Wegotyoucovered'. Views over the lake were stunning and the daily swims off the dock were so welcome. We hired a motor boat and tube one day from Bridgewater Marina and the family had fun exploring the coves and enjoying the warm water. We were especially taken with the ospreys, bald eagle, hummingbirds, cardinals, swallowtails and deer by the house. We had many interesting visits including Walton's Mountain Museum at Schuyler, hiking at Peaks of Otter (we'd recommend the shuttle bus to near the summit), the Smith Mountain Lake state park, shopping in Roanoke, and mini golf at Hot Shots in Westlake (really good fun) and at Bridgewater Plaza. A drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway is not to be missed. We would also recommend some great restaurants including Waller's, Vinnie's, Cancun Mexican at Westlake and Mango's at Bridgewater Plaza. Food Lion in Moneta is very convenient for provisions. We would love to return!

Relaxing Lake Weekend

Rented this house for a much needed weekend away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life...My wife and I came up with my sister and her husband. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck, fishing from the dock, and the local restaurants. Setting up the rental was super easy and communication from the manager/owner was impeccable. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to slow down, unwind and appreciate the beautiful views.

Great, Comfortable Lake Home; Wonderful Homeowner!

The home is exactly as described and photographed! The homeowner is the nicest person we have ever rented a vacation home from! We traveled from Alabama to Virginia to attend a family wedding during Hurricane Helene. Kirk, the homeowner, provided the code to the house early so we could get into the house when we arrived. He checked on us as soon as we arrived because the power and water were out due to the storm and there was no estimation for how long it would be before services were restored. Kirk offered to refund our money, but we decided to tough it out and hope for the best! The services ended up being restored during the evening and the wedding festivities in the area were perfect! I would highly recommend renting this lake home! There is plenty of room, a beautiful view and a nice game room that entertained our grandkids! Thanks Kirk for checking on us throughout our stay in your lovely home!!

Perfect location

The house is in a great spot on the lake. Quick boat ride to Bridgewater or Drifters. It was extremely clean and comfortable and communication was excellent throughout. We loved all the deer in the yard and the view from the deck was unbeatable. We’ll definitely look at this property first next time we head down!

Great Location

We've vacationed at SML for about 15 years, but this was the first time renting this house. We loved it! Great location by land and by water. House was clean, comfy, and had everything we needed except sheets and towels, which we rented as per usual. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, which was very convenient. The deck is nice and spacious while the lot is not too steep down to the water. We also rented the house next door where our daughter and grandkids stayed. The kids LOVED swimming from their dock to ours and back again. The house has plenty of board games, too, which the kids loved. Everyone had a great time! Would definitely rent again.
