Impressive property! I’ve stayed at Smith Mountain Lake for 20 years. This was by far one of the best places I’ve stayed in terms of location in a private cove, the amenities offered at the property, cleanliness of the property, and the speed in which the owner replied. We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the lake this year!

Great lake house!

We loved sitting on the SCREENED porch, in their comfy furniture, looking at the lake. We loved being able to use their kayaks and swim dock to enjoy the afternoon on the lake. It's close to tourist fun, a grocery store, and lots of restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked. What else could you want??

First time at SML

This is the perfect place to stay! Location on the lake is great. Quiet, beautifully situated and the condo is amazingly equipped with everything you need for a wonderful vacation. Perfect setup for teens and kids. If you can't handle lots of steps, that's the only problem.

This place was wonderful! It was very clean and located on a quiet place on the lake. Each couple having their own bathroom was a plus, and an additional powder room was nice. The screened in porch was nice- there were no mosquitoes to worry about! It was comfortable and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful lake home

We have stayed at SML many times. Many different locations on the lake and this was definitely one of the best! So clean and comfortable. Also a great location, close to the marina. My son fished out back and caught a couple bass. We rented a boat and enjoyed a day on the lake. Wonderful to come back to a clean and inviting house to stay in. The kitchen was well stocked and the linens and beds were comfy.

Perfect getaway

We had a great time at Smith Mountain Lake. This property was clean, and seemed brand new- despite the weather we had a great time, the dock was perfect for fishing, swimming and exploring. The location is fantastic if you have young kids- ie: close to Kroger, and Booker T , etc.

great trip to smith mt lake condo

We loved the condo. It was clean, we loved the little extra touches that made our stay great. The condo was large enough that everyone had their own space. The screened porch was definitely a hit. Having access to the dock and a slip for our rented boat was also great. This was our first trip to the area and will not be our last.

What a wonderful place you have. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing it with us so we could make family memories together. Everything was so nice and the neighborhood was friendly and quiet. It was fabulous how stocked the kitchen was so meal time was so easy. It really has everything and more. Coffee makers, smoothie makers, pots, pans, all different dishes including for small children, and even a great selection of cups. Rooms, beds, and space were top notch. The views were breathtaking. We were able to use the kayaks, swim at the dock, fish, and even do a boat rental. We will definitely book here again!!

A Great Condo at SML

Our family had an amazing stay at this pristine condo. The kitchen had everything we needed for meals and was stocked with paper products, cascade pods, foil, etc. Beds were incredibly comfortable too! Check-in and check-out instructions were easy to follow and we greatly appreciated the welcome letter that Wade provided, especially the information on boat trailer storage since we brought our own boat. The location was great as we were in a quiet, peaceful area but also about 5 minutes from groceries and restaurants. We highly recommend this condo to anyone who is looking for a truly exceptional stay at Smith Mountain Lake.

Our stay in the condo was delightful! It was clean and nicely decorated. The beds were really comfortable and it was so nice to have 3 full bathrooms!The kitchen was more than well stocked. It even had 3 coffee makers (Keurig, drip and French press)! Very impressed!The hosts were not only prompt, but very nice and welcoming. I know I reached out to them a lot but they never seemed bothered and were always helpful. The views were amazing, overlooking the lake. Quiet and peaceful except for the chatter of the birds, which I loved!We have all had those experiences where you pull up to your rental and have that disappointed feeling because the post was misleading. Not this place! We were happy that it exceeded our expectations!

Beautifully furnished lakeside townhome

This was our first time staying in a VRBO. We were coming from Minnesota to attend our son’s college graduation. and this house was a very pleasant surprise. Furnished beautifully, spotless throughout and thoughtful details from the owner. Communication was easy. House was intimate and we had plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Upon arrival snacks, condiments and other goodies greeted us. It is obvious that the owners take great pride in their home as well as their guests. We felt well taken care of. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Wish we would have had more time to really enjoy it.

Wonderful townhome on a quiet part of the lake

Wade's townhome is well-equipped, clean, and comfortable. Everything was as described, and communication was excellent both before our arrival and during our stay. We had a little hiccup with the key lockbox that Wade helped remedy immediately. We took full advantage of the townhome's dock and Wade's kayaks. We went out twice during our short stay, and had a wonderful time. The unit is in a part of the lake that is a bit away from the busier portions, so it is pretty serene right outside the unit. The bed was comfy, the bathrooms were clean, the TV and WI-FI worked, lots of board games and puzzles around if you need some non-technology entertainment, and you are located 2 miles from a grocery store and other shopping areas. Don't know what else we could ask for, and we would stay again.
