My extended family and I had a great long weekend staying here. It was cold out, but we enjoyed the indoor and outdoor fireplace, hot tub, pool table, fusbol and beautiful views. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway.
HIGHLY recommend! The outside deck is a dream and the most perfect hang out area. The host is so organize and make the stay easy and enjoyable. The house fit 10 of us extremely comfortably.
We had the most relaxing time at the property. It was right on the lake, so we enjoyed being able to go at our leisure. A paddle board and a kayak were available for our use, so we enjoyed paddling around, curling up by the fire pit, and relaxing in the hot tub. Very quiet, relaxing atmosphere. We definitely hope to return!
We enjoyed the peaceful cove and especially the hot tub and fire pit. The beds were super comfy and the kitchen had good cooking space. For a group of 12, we were short one coffee cup, but other than that the dishes/utensils were ample and small appliances were very helpful.We truly appreciated the gas fireplaces as the weather was quite cool and we were still able to be outside to drink our coffee and enjoy the surrounding area.
The house was lovely and the view was incredible. House could have been a little cleaner—cobwebs in the great room and dishwasher was full of dishes not very clean. Pots and pans need to be cleaner as well.
Everything was wonderful! The ease of access, the fully equipped kitchen, the beautiful rooms, fireplaces, everything! Short of groceries, we had everything we needed to enjoy a week away! There were a couple of things that could have made things a little easier - figuring out how to operate the fireplace and the thermostat were a little tough. Having some instructions around would have helped. But, having young adults around helped alot!! We got it figured out and thorouvhly enjoyed everything!Thank you. I look forward to my next getaway!!
Had an amazing time at this property. Probably the best pool table in a rental I've ever seen. There are a lot of steps to get from the house to the dock but I think that's generally going to be the same with almost all of the properties in the area.
Had a great time connecting with old high school friends who now live spread out along the eastern seaboard. House was clean and comfortable. Pool table and fooseball table we big hits. We were able to park a boat at the dock.
Can’t ask for a better stay. We have stayed at two of GateWays properties within a month on purpose. They’re built by someone that understand lake life. Relaxed and luxury for a vacation. Special owners to understand the dynamics of a quiet cove.
5 star!First time visit to Smith Mountain Lake and plan to return!House was clean and adequate space for family of 12. Kiddo's enjoyed bunk bedroom and game room. Adults especially like sitting on covered porch facing the lake. Kitchen well equipped and owner very responsive, even delivered a blender on our request! Quiet cove perfect for swimming and for docking our pontoon boat. Although there were many steep steps to lake and steep driveway down to house, we still enjoyed the house and surrounding area. Would consider returning again next year!
We enjoyed our time here. Plenty of space, loads of dishes and cookware which is not always the case at many places. We enjoyed the pool table and hot tub along with spending a majority of our time on the covered porch and the dock. The driveway is steep and there are 96 steeps to the dock. So we got plenty of exercise.
Stayed for a week for a family vacation. Had a great time and the accommodations were great. Walk to lake was a little difficult but everyone managed and really enjoyed spending the week there. Would definitely recommend.
House was perfect and had everything you could possibly need. Location is also great in close proximity to marina and restaurants.
