Another great year!
Loved staying at Spikes Place! Kathy and Spike are both nice folks. The condo/house is great as it comes with a lot of lake toys. I love the SUP and kayaks. Dock is very spacious- even when sharing with other guests. We also did a charter with Kathy that was really great!

Spike's place for fishing.
There were four men that stayed May 19 to 25. We were there to night striper fish. House was clean and had the full use of both docks and dock house. The fish cleaning station was great with electric and running water. As Spike and Kathy are both guides they also gave us info on where to fish. Great people and we will be back.

My favorite place on the lake, like going to a family members home..
Spike and Cathy are wonderful hosts. The property is beautiful. The place I rented was clean, and cozy. Everything that I needed was in the kitchen. And if you love to fish they are great guides. Plus you can dock your boat right there and even clean your fish at the cleaning station. WE CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK!!!!

Super clean, comfortable, great view
Owner of the property called me a week ahead of the stay to give me very clear directions and instructions. The property has a wonderful view of a nice cove as well as parts of the larger lake. The unit was very comfortably furnished and the kitchen was well equipped. Everything was super clean. There's even a very talkative cat that patrols the property and will gladly come if you call it!

Truly an amazing location on this beautiful lake. Spike's place was the perfect size for our small family and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay on Smith Mountain Lake. Kathy was super helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. The surrounding neighborhood was safe and peaceful. We were so thankful for the opportunity to stay and look forward to making another trip soon.

Complete Package!
House was great and in a great location. Kathy and Spike are awesome as a host and hostess. Very accommodating, knowledgeable and accessible. They present a complete package, house, guided fishing charters, knowledge and information on the surrounding area, and the presence of a great new friendship if you are open and wanting to make that connection. They were fully available, but not intrusive or overseeing even though they live in a property on the premises. This is their means to make a living but it truly shows that they love what they do! We used Kathy as our fishing guide and we had a great day on the lake with her. The charter leaves from their dock on the property you are renting, making it super convenient. We have already plans in the works to bring our family next year. Definitely one of our most enjoyable rents on VRBO.

About the host

Hosted by Capts. Spike & Kathy Franceschini

Host profile image
We started 'Spike's Prime Time Fishin' in 1988. Spike and I are striper charter captains with two 22 ft. deck boats. We purchased the triplex to offer fishing charters and waterfront vacation rentals to our clients and to anyone who enjoys the water like we do. We tried to put the amenities we liked best in all of the places we have traveled and stayed into our fishing and waterfront vacation rental business.

Why they chose this property

We chose our triplex immediately for the magnificent view! We also chose it for close proximity to stores, etc. and Route 122. It is near the Hales Ford Bridge, which gives us close access to Bridgewater Plaza and local marinas. It also puts us halfway on the Roanoke River side of the lake, which gives us excellent access to fishing from the Dam to the headwaters the year round. We have deep water under our docks but also have a small shallow water sandy beach.

What makes this property unique

A golf car is included in your rental. We have shared use of 5 kayaks, a paddle boat, 2 paddle boards, diving board, tubes, noodles, floats, canoe and sandy beach with firepit. There is great fishing off of our docks. Situated on over 2 acres, we are surrounded by large white pines which give a 'compound' effect for privacy. There is plenty of grass for putting up volleyball/badminton/croquet sets. A large paved driveway is wonderful for skateboards, bikes, roller blades and sidewalk chalk. We also live on a dead end street and keeps traffic to a minimum, good for walking and biking.
