Lake front home with beach and boat access.

Gibbs retreat is centrally located in the beautiful quiet wooded subdivision of Beechwood West at Smith Mt. Lake, making it close to shopping and activities. By water it is located at R 31 on the main channel of the Roanoke arm of the lake, less than 5 minutes by water to Hales Ford Bridge, Bridgewater Plaza and more. In just a 15 minutes drive you can access the main shopping areas of the lake, restaurants, gift shops, children activities, putt-putt golf. We are only 45 minutes from Roanoke and 55 to Lynchburg; making it easy to spend the day in either place. Gibbs Retreat is just as beautiful in the fall, winter and spring. We are surrounded by trees to enjoy the beautiful colors in fall and spring. Winter is a great time to visit and enjoy quiet time around the fireplace. SML offers a lot of fun festivals including Pirate Days the 3rd weekend in July, SML Antique and Classic Boat Festival in September, SML Home Tour in October, and Chili Festival in November. You will also find plenty of fireworks for 4th of July and events during December for Christmas . Winter would be a wonderful to spend time with family putting puzzles together, playing games, celebrating Thanksgiving or Christmas. Worried there will be no decorations for Christmas, no need I decorate the inside of the house for Christmas. Winter would also be a great time if you are an author and need a quite place to write, quilters or scrapbookers…..
