Holiday Getaway

We loved being directly on the water! And while I’m not a “morning person” I would wake up each morning to watch the most amazing sunrises and watch the parade of deer and squirrels around the house. Very relaxing and confirmed my goal of lakeside living!

Log Haven is Heavenly

We had a pleasant little getaway and Log Haven was a very nice choice. It’s cozy and perfect for 2 to 3 people, lots of wildlife and an osprey nest nearby and it was fun to watch that giant bird catch fish all day long.

Cozy Cabin on Smith Mountain Lake

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Very cozy and comfortable. We had a minor issue with the heat that was taken care of very promptly. The fireplace is electric, but adds to the ambiance. The sunrise view is spectacular.

Spring Break

My family really enjoyed this property and trip for Spring Break. This was our first time at Smith Mountain Lake and it was beautiful! We have visited many of the State Parks all around VA and this one was worth the trip. The property was very comfortable and relaxing. We fished off the shore and docks, enjoyed the kayak and were close to go hike around the state park. I would definitely visit again.

Fantastic cabin

It was an extremely comfortable 5* cabin. Husband caught 2 catfish tho he was trying to catch carp 😂 Unfortunately, we had to leave a day earlier as ‘Helena’ was threatening our journey home to Tennessee. Thankfully we made it before Helena struck. Would certainly book again with better weather.

Beautiful, peaceful location

The lakeside setting and outdoor space is fantastic. The home is rustic and well kept. I would keep in mind the fact that one bedroom is right next to the kitchen, living room and door that leads to the deck so if other people staying in the upstairs bedroom and they are early risers or night owls it will not be quiet.

Always our favorite

This is our third time staying here and we’ve already booked our next trip. Smith Mountain Lake has become a special place for our family and this home is a huge part of that. The views from the house and porch are amazing. The house is very clean and well stocked with everything you need to cook and keep busy. There’s a collection of books, DVDs and games which we always enjoy. Great dock to tie up your boat! My son never wants to leave he loves it at the cabin so much and so do we!

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful family vacation. There was always something to keep us busy. If the sun was shining we were in the lake. If it was raining, we were watching movies or playing pool. The sunrises were amazing to watch from the large covered porch! We rented a boat for part of the week and that was conveniently close by. The fishing was great and we caught a variety of fish! We appreciated the notes left so we knew how to use everything and knew where everything was.

We’ve stayed multiple times at this cabin! Love it!!! All aspects. This visit had one minor item to report … the floors were very dirty. Swept clean/no debris; however, when I wiped up a spill the cloth was filthy.

Excellent location and a great way to experience the lake!

The cabin is comfortable, and its private access to the lake, including a wooden dock, made it fun to stay at and canoe on Smith Mountain Lake. The location is excellent, just 20 min away from Food Lion and only ~10 minutes away from the State Park, its sandy beach, and its fantastic hikes. The cabin has all it needs (pool table in the basement, life jackets, hot tub), and plenty of space for the two of us, our son, and our golden retriever. In March, it was very quiet (even though we stayed here during Spring Break), and very relaxing. Now we are curious to experience it during the summer and get a chance to swim in the lake.

2 million dollar view

4th year now in a row now visiting SML. 1st time at this property. I towed my 25’ boat and small family 250 miles south down I-81. Awesome vacation, not primitive but practical. Everything we needed. The view from the house, dock, master is a 2 million dollar view. If you don’t like squirrels, deer, acorns falling on the roof, please head to Roanoke and check in to the holiday inn! Had a few questions for the owners and I was answered and satisfied upon check in.

Great stay! The cabin is very charming - just the right amount of space for our family of 3 and 2 dogs. While it is an older/rustic cabin, it is clean and well-maintained. I loved the porch - the views were my favorite while reading or having coffee. The downstairs porch isn't featured much in pictures, but we also loved that space to keep all of our boating/outside items when not in use. We rented a pontoon boat from Parkway Marina down the road. We loved exploring the lake and anchoring by the mountain to fish/hang. Overall a great stay.
