About this property

Gated Lakefront Getaway, Hot Tub, Private Dock & Stunning Smith Mountain View’s

Escape to the ultimate summer retreat at our newly built, four-bedroom, two-bath gated carriage house on Smith Mountain Lake — perfect for families, friends, or couples ready for sun-soaked lake days.

Start your mornings with coffee on one of two spacious decks as the water sparkles below — and keep an eye out for our favorite visitors, the beautiful bluebirds that love to perch nearby and are such a joy to watch. Spend your afternoons swimming, boating, kayaking, or fishing right from the private dock. Inside, sweeping lake views fill the home with natural light, and beautiful reclaimed wood details from a historic barn once on the property add warmth and character. Three bedrooms feature brand-new Tempur-Pedic mattresses, ensuring restful sleep after full days on the water.

As evening sets in, gather around our brand-new fire pit — the perfect spot for s’mores, stories, and relaxing under the stars. Fire up the grill, dine al fresco on the patio, and unwind in the hot tub as the sun sets.

Whether you’re cruising the water, exploring Moneta, nearby Roanoke, or simply relaxing with family and friends, this gated lakeside escape offers the perfect balance of adventure and laid-back summer living.

Your perfect Smith Mountain Lake summer getaway awaits.

Everything was perfect from getting in early to a late checkout we couldn’t have asked for more. The house was amazing with incredible views and so much outdoor spaces from the decks to the dock and the fire pit area. It was a perfect spot for me and my family, thanks to our host Amanda who was always quick to respond with answers to all my questions.

We loved our stay at the Tree House. All of the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room. Having the dock right there made mornings wonderful for kayaking and fishing. All of us enjoyed swimming from the dock and catching the ice cream boat.

The Perfect Getaway

This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your family. The house is beautiful and has all the things you need for a lake getaway. The kitchen is stocked, there wasn't anything we needed.

The house was absolutely beautiful and cozy! Plenty of room to spread out. The view was gorgeous from all levels of the house. Deer grazing in the yard every morning. Loved being out in the country but a short drive from restaurants and the grocery store. Plenty of amenities!

The Treehouse was a beautiful home with spectacular lake views. This was our first SML visit and the stores and grocery are about 15 minutes away. Bedford is about 30 minutes away and we enjoyed the D Day monument tour there as well. We went to Moneta several times to eat and enjoyed the restaurants there. The home had all the kitchen basics and the beds were very comfortable. The lay out of the house did have us going up and down the stairs quite a bit which was fine for our group of 4 middle aged adults but if you have mobility issues it may not be the best fit. We enjoyed our stay and the dock was especially nice to sit and relax and watch the boats go by. We also saw lots of wildlife such as deer, a mink and variety of birds. Easy check in and out process and good host communication.

Great with a few exceptions that aren’t the hosts fault

Our whole family loved it! Our only disappointment was due to broken kayaks from previous vacationers. Out host was gracious and offered to reimburse us on a kayak rental, however due to our short stay we did t want the hassle of going through that process. Please be nice with the owner's property so that other vacationers can enjoy it. Overall we had a great time and really liked the property (although please note that there are a lot of stairs to go up and down). Hosts were great on communication.

Hi Lindsay, we're thrilled to hear that your family loved the property and had a great time! We also appreciate your kind words about the communication with your hosts. After sharing your feedback with the homeowner, they’d like to offer the following updates:We apologize for the inconvenience with the kayak during your stay. We understand how that could be disappointing, especially during a shorter visit.The kayak has been repaired, and there are now three available for future guests to enjoy.The home does have multiple stairs, which we always recommend noting for guests who may have mobility concerns.Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
