Beautiful water views

This is our 3rd year spending vacation at SML. The property was chosen because of the number of rooms and bathrooms available. The house was perfect for our needs. Decor was very nice. We had a rough start as the entry code did not work. The towels were still in the wash and sheets were in the dryer wet. TV controls needed batteries and one ice maker did not work. The house slept 16 and we had 9 adults plus 2 kids. However there was an extra guest fee charge so be aware even though it slept 16 they can charge extra for a their set number of guests. The host was very accommodating when we needed to change our dog fee. The yard also looked as if it had not been taken care of. Many beautiful views from this property.

We had a great time - the cove was peaceful and the house was beautiful. The only problem we had was the wifi was a bit intermittent (some of the TVs didn't get signal and people who tried to do work or school had issues). Otherwise - it was great!

This home far exceeded our expectations! It was unanimous that this home was by far the best venue we've ever had for our 9 year golf tournament. Thank you, Susanne for allowing us to use this beautiful home. You provided us everything we needed, and your prompt communications were appreciated. Everything about the home was amazing, and the cleanliness, quality and abundance of amenities were unsurpassed! Look forward to coming back again in the near future.

Would definitely recommend this house for a large group!!

Beautiful house at a great location on the lake. Lots of room for everyone, bathroom and kitchens are beautiful. Beds super comfortable too. My only concern would be the stocking of the kitchen. There was not enough silverware for a party of 14 and no large stockpots to use for a large group and could not find a blender. But other than that it was fantastic!!

Fun time at SML

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the stay. It was a good fit for our party as we required a large number of bedrooms. Just a few suggestions: 1) We did not find a good selection of serving bowls but made do with what was there. Some more dinner forks would also be good. 2) We had a rental boat and think the dock would be better if the edges were padded in some way. Docking on the side with the metal ladder is also difficult due to the presence of the ladder. Minor complaints: 1) The housekeeper was still at work when we arrived at check in time. We realize she was short handed that day but it was inconvenient for us. 2) One bed was not made up; however, it was not needed by our party so not a huge issue.

Perfect Family Retreat!

Location - Perfect lake location with a dock on a quiet cove. The actual neighborhood getting there isn't stellar, but you spend your time out back where it's pretty private! Safe for kids to swim about, paddle board, etc... Indoor space - enormous kitchen area and island - we served dinner for TWELVE at the counter each night! High end appliances. A bar upstairs and downstairs with ice machines, beverage fridges, etc... More TVs than we knew what to do with... Comfortable beds throughout. Well appointed bathrooms. There is a Keurig - bring pods! Several games, as well as some life vests and water toys available. Outdoor space - great deck and patio, really well landscaped, easy walk down to the dock where we spent all day fishing, paddle boarding, swimming and playing. There's a screened porch with fans as well - took a few conference calls there! Communication with host - Suzanne is so nice and very responsive! There were a few items we brought up right away - damage to floors and windows that we wanted to be sure she knew wasn't from us, inadequate silverwear for such a large house. All repairs and replenishments already under way from what I understand, and certainly nothing that detracted from our stay (all the kinds of things that happen to a rental property, unfortunately). I would strongly suggest shades in the owner's suite, or that renters bring a sleep mask if you want to sleep in! All in all, it's a beautiful house that's been in the family that Suzanne wants to be perfect for her renters. We had a fantastic time, and know future renters will as well.

About the host

Hosted by Susanne

Host profile image
Hi I’ve been on Smith Mountain Lake since I was a toddler. I’m not sure if I’m prejudiced but I love this lake more than any other lake I’ve ever visited.

Why they chose this property

This lot has been in our family since 1979. . It once had a trailer on it when we bought it. In 1988, my father took the trailer away and built this house. He passed away several years ago and left the house to me and my sister. We then went in and gutted it and remodeled the whole home.

What makes this property unique

It has the most beautiful views and the space is phenomenal for large families, multiple families and/or couples.
Lots of common spaces for everyone.
You never feel on top of each other even with 12-15 people
