This property much like the property we stayed in last summer through same host was poorly maintained. For the price we paid for the week, the condition of the property inside and out we felt should have been better. Cleanliness overall was lacking. Bathrooms very poorly cleaned upon arrival, garage smelled like cat pee so badly we had to open the garage door before using it and there was grass seed and trash all over it, boards warped badly on decking. The location and view were spectacular, however, and we were still able to enjoy the lake even with the low water levels. We needed a ladder to climb down to the floating dock to our boat, but we kind of expected that going in with water levels. We did have to buy the ladder though when we arrived, because there wasn’t one at the house.

Weekend Getaway

Beautiful location, kitchen & views were amazing. The dock was great for the boat we rented. We spent almost the entire time on the dock fishing or jumping, or floating on the rafts provided. The paddle boards & canoes were awesome!

A wonderful getaway in a beautiful home right on the lake

An incredible home which will accommodate a lot of people. We only had 6 people but all the kids had their own room and loved it. everything you could ask for and incredible location on the lake. We hope to go back again before the summer is over

We only rent Wind family properties at SML as they give their guests effortless luxury when vacationing. Love this house and appreciate the communication and responsiveness from Ashley. Will definitely rent again at this fabulous Smith Mountain Lake property.

Beautiful new home

We had an amazing fall getaway to Smith Mountain Lake. The home fulfilled all of our needs and the views were break taking! Our favorite part of the stay was sitting in the porch outside the kitchen. We will definitely be keeping this in mind for next year!

Wonderful time at the lake

We had three generations at the house and everyone had a wonderful time! The house is beautiful and had everything we needed for our stay -the comfortable beds, super nice kitchen, and expansive decks were the highlights. The hosts were helpful and responsive. The best part though is the incredible view of the lake and the dam! We can’t wait to go back!!

Beautiful kitchen that is nicely stocked! Guests just should be aware before renting the stove is induction. The pots provided work, but if you are bringing your own special pot be aware!! The view from the main living area and porch are worth every penny of the stay! View from the dock is just as amazing. We enjoyed the top area of the dock which seems to be a new addition!

Great location; nice house for large group; needs spring cleaning; kitchen needs updating/labeled

We enjoyed our stay but it was pricey considering the need for thorough cleaning and Kitchen appliances need to be replaced. Electric skillet, Keurig coffee maker, stove did not work, drawers need to be organized.

Hi Janet! Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry that you trashed our home and it was left in unacceptable condition. The brand new skillet and k cup coffee maker worked at check out! The stove is induction and requires only stainless steel pots and pans that we provide or if you bring any, that is the type needed. Thank you for staying with us!

Amazing home for a large group!

We had an amazing stay at this property for our summer vacation. It’s nice to find a home that is updated and clean in this neighborhood! The upstairs are with the kitchen, dining room, and tv are leading out to the porch was the best place to hang out with everyone. This view of the mountain and waterfront is one of the best on the lake! Definitely returning here! We really enjoyed our time on the dock and the access to the paddle board, kayaks, and canoe was really nice. We rented a boat and had plenty of space to tie it to the dock. We look forward to returning!

Nice cozy home

Perfect for us! Open floor plan upstairs that opened to a large deck. The views really can’t be beat. Perfect view for Smith Mountain and the dam. Just like all the pictures. We loved that this was such an updated clean lake house. We really love l this neighborhood on this side of the lake and look forward to returning to this one! Thanks for the hospitality!

Definitely best view on Smith Mountain Lake

Beautiful, newly renovated home with definitely the best view on Smith Mountain Lake! The close up view of the dam and mountain is breathtaking. The location of being tucked in the little cove helps with the boat traffic in that area. Really a great location to be in and still have that amazing view. Property seemed very clean and well kept. check in process was seamless and Ashley was easy to get in touch with along with answering all the questions we had prior to arrival. Definitely a return spot!

SML First Timer

The lake experience was fantastic! The house location, activities and water sport equipment were excellent. The house had some minor issues i.e. ceiling fans not working/broke, plumbing and cleanliness. However, these issues didn’t affect our great vacation at SML.

Our family’s lake week

We loved the location on the lake and really enjoyed the decks and the dock area. Lots of water toys that were fun. The house layout worked well for us. We needed a few kitchen items that weren’t there. The house felt a bit tired…loose door knobs, window blinds, outdated master bath, leaking shower in second main floor bathroom and had some struggles with main floor tv. Still the house worked for us. Nice big kitchen with lots of storage.

Incredible location

My family and I went with 2 other families just for the weekend. Ages of kids ranged from 3-12 years of age. The house had plenty of rooms to accommodate us all. Beds were comfortable. The deck and dock were the highlight. There are kayaks, canoes and a paddle board. It’s a two story dock and the views are awesome. Mitchell marina is around the corner which makes it easy to rent boats. We rented a pontoon. We will definitely stay here again. Make sure you bring your own soap, trash bags, paper towels and toilet paper. None is provided.
