something for everyone

My family just returned from The Boathouse following our second vacation at this stunningly gorgeous location. The weather was very hot the first trip. This time it was cooler. There are so many options at Smith Mountain Lake, and specifically at Bernard's Landing, that having a wonderful vacation is basically inevitable. We can't wait to return!

The “Boathouse” was spectacular! The cleanliness was top notch! Views of the lake are breathtaking. I could sit on the deck and watch my husband and boys fish. I highly recommend this property!

Best lake trip ever

We just returned from the Boathouse and enjoyed every minute of it. The unit itself is spotless, large, and inviting, and it has an incredible view of the lake. This is a lake lovers' paradise. Ginny and Eric were extremely kind and helpful. Can't wait to go back.

Beautiful

The location of the condo is fabulous, right on the lake! The Peninsula at Bernard’s Landing is a fabulous spot. The boat rental is just around the corner, the pool is walking distance, and so is the restaurant. The condo has beautiful views from the living room/kitchen area. The condo itself is very clean and cozy. The kitchen has everything in it for cooking. We felt very welcomed with the thoughtful touches when we first arrived. Highly recommend.

Loved the Boathouse!!

My wife and I booked this house somewhat late in the summer, but could not have been happier. The location is perfect, close to marina services and restaurants, and on an ideal spot on the lake. Kick back on the deck and enjoy beautiful sunrises. The house was extremely clean and completely stocked with anything you would need to have a great time. We will definitely consider this home for future travel.
