Welcome to Cedar Key Village, a charming lakefront community of 11 homes. This spectacular all Cedar lake front Cabin is nestled in a secluded no wake cove. Beautiful lake side garden adds to the beauty of the lake and mountains. Boat slip and shared dock with 1 other cabin
I call clients after booking to answer questions, please inform me prior to booking if you would prefer me not to phone you.
I have rented my home for over 20 years and take great pleasure in making sure it is a perfect vacation. I am always available by phone and or by e-mail/text during up until 8:00 pm. My clients have continually complimented my on prompt reply to their questions. I will call you upon booking. If you are not comfortable with my contacting over the phone, please send me a note prior to your booking. We also live in the house above the cabin from August thru January which is helpful when you need immediate assistance.
I will provide you with a comprehensive confirmation letter which will inform you of the fun things to do in the area as well as recommended restaurants.
In case you want to know a little bit about your hosts, we are both retired and loving it! We were the original developers of Cedar Key. We purchased it in 1983 when it was a operated as resort since the 1970's. We have loved Cedar Key and have been an active member to maintain its beauty and serenity.
My husband worked for the Farm Credit Administration for over 30 years as its Chief Financial Analyst. I was a social worker for years in the District and then worked as a Realtor for 22 years in Northern Virginia. We have three wonderful adult children who love Cedar Key. We made wonderful memories here as I know you will as well
Amazing views of the lake and mountains surrounded by deep woods. There are very few homes on the lake that have such a beautiful view. The gardens in front of the cabin are simply lovely. My husband worked hard for four years to create this magic for you! The all cedar cabin is very well maintained and always spotlessly clean. Read the reviews, everyone just loves it. It is simply charming and inviting. You will not want your vacation to end.
The entire house is for your use, including your shared dock with your next door traveler. You can drive to your dock, only a few properties on the lake have this feature or you can take the 1 minute walk. Driving is great if you have a cooler for your boat.
We have a parking lot which serves the resort community, just minutes from your front door but far enough away that you are not bothered by other travelers. There is no public transportation. Roanoke and Lyncburg airports are about equal distance.. No subways or buses, you must rely on your car.
Free wi-fi
Great cell connection
Our parking lot is just a minute to the cabin by foot. You will unload in front of the cabin and then park in the resort parking lot.
Smith Mountain is a hydroelectric lake which means the lake levels will go up and down based on electrical usage. Typically you don't notice it unless there is a big rain storm coming and they lower the lake. We have a floating dock in the cove which works great for launching your kayaks, canoes or paddle boards in case the lake is lower.
There is no trash service for our side of the lake but we do have a dump 5 minutes away. We ask all guest to take trash to the dump prior to their departure.
