There is a natural beach combined with a floating dock that will keep the older kids entertained while mom and dad enjoy the fantastic views and wildlife from the covered dock and screened porches. For the fisherman, the citation Stripers await your arrival. Mitchell’s Marina is within walking distance for launching boats, food, and tackle. A deep water boat slip adjoins the floating dock. The house is 1500 total 750 sq ft on each level. The renovated upstairs contains two bedrooms, a full kitchen, family room, and screened deck.

Saunders point is pretty nice
House was very cozy with plenty of space on both levels. Hearty set of 42 steps to the dock. Water was nice and warm and clean. Was surprised on the water level changes during the week, but had no effect on our stay. Screened porch was nice break from the AC in the morning and evening. Property gets an “A” grade! Give it a try.

5 Days & 2 Couples That Didn't Want To Leave
Let me start by saying the owner, Alice, was an absolute gem to work with. The house was VERY clean, comfortable, and had every amenity you could possibly think of. She thought of the 'little things' that would make your stay that much more enjoyable. We brought our boat with us and launched from Mitchell's Marina without any problem (there is a $5 fee to unload & reload the boat, fyi), and kept the trailer at the house. It was a short boat drive to the house and the dock was clearly marked with the address. We LOVED the back deck as well as the boat dock and spent our afternoons floating in the cove. Oh, and the mountain views! The house is by the dam and in my opinion is the most beautiful part of the lake. It was the best 5 days we've had in a long time.

A nice home on the lake
My family came down for the first time to SML. This home had everything we needed. We enjoyed our coffee in the morning on the screened in deck overseeing the lake and then enjoyed our days on the lake on our boat which we docked there. The views of the lake and mountains are incredible from this area. The communication with the owners was very positive and they were always responsive.

Fantastic place
My wife and I enjoyed several great days at this property. The owner went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and accommodated. The location is fantastic - on a quiet cove right off of the main lake. The house was recently redone and has a great new kitchen. The enclosed porch is great for viewing the lake or enjoying a thunderstorm. The new fire pit area is also great. Overall, a fantastic experience.

Definitely a place to remember
My wife, grown son and his wife and I enjoyed the most relaxing vacation we've all had in a long time. Our accomodations were excellent. Plenty of cookware and decorated tastefully. My son and I had a few exciting matches on the foosball table. The dock was a great place to hang out and fish. Swimming was great, the water felt fantastic. We brought new paddle boards to try out for the first time. The cove was a perfect spot for us beginners. We had a blast. I highly recommend this rental for small families. We hope to return again in the future! Love SML!

Lovely lake house
We loved our stay in the lake house. The house is great - beautiful kitchen, comfy couch and bed, great screened in porch, and fabulous fire pit near the edge of the water and a private dock. The lake is stunning and the property feels safe and very private. We hope to come back with family next year!

Great house!
Fantastic little property on a very nice end of the lake. You can practically walk to Mitchell’s Marina and just a quick boat ride to the dam. The property itself was very cozy with a great fire pit setup near the water and cool lighting on the walk down to the dock. The homeowner was very accommodating and communicative. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay at SML for the weekend.

Book it!! Highly recommend!!
Wow- the lake cottage was sweet and adorable! And so clean and nicely updated!! Husband and I were there 10 days for our 25th anniversary and our adult kids came for 3 of those nights- plenty of room. It’s very private on wooded property and the water view and access is breathtaking and relaxing! Loved the covered porches and the cute Fire pit and lit stairs that take you to the water. We loved the dock with both covered and uncovered sections as well as the float dock. The cove is deep and quiet but close to the main channels and has the Mountain View. Just perfect! Plenty of water to swim and float around the dock and very quiet neighbors who we didn’t really see. We rented paddle boards for our whole stay and a boat for 3 days from nearby Mitchell’s Marina (definitely reserve before your trip). Paddle boards and the canoe were awesome early morning or evening when the water was like glass. I recommend bringing most food with you (grocery store about 25 min away) - kitchen and outside grill are great! Mitchell’s is good food also but we mostly preferred to eat in. The owner was fabulous to work with! This was a wonderful getaway we didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be back!

Family Lake Getaway
We loved everything about this house on Smith Mountain Lake. Our family really enjoyed our stay. The house is the perfect location on a quiet cove. Easy access to Mitchell’s Point Marina to rent a boat. We loved sitting out on the dock, fire pit by the lake, the screened porches for coffee and relaxing. The house has plenty of room for our family of four. It was really clean and had a great kitchen and family room. Bedrooms were comfortable too. Alice, the owner was wonderful to work with...very helpful and accommodating. We will defiugo back to this gem on the lake.

Great spot
We had such a lovely get a way at the Lake. The only thing we didnt do was rent a boat, which would have been easy enough with the marina right around the corner. This space would be great for 2 small groups who want to be together but be COVID - minded, as the basement has a separate entrance, living space, bathroom, bedroom, and mini fridge, making it easy to gather outdoors and limit the amount of indoor time spent together. Lovely stay!
