Kathy's Place - Magnificent View - Many Amenities Included - sleeps 4

Kathy's Place is located in a small cove with a southern exposure and magnificent 'million dollar' view overlooking the main channel, the Hales Ford Bridge, Smith Mountain and the Bridgewater Plaza just below Bouy Marker R 30. This waterfront townhome is one of two rentals in a unique triplex (See Spike's Place, VRBO Listing #282712) situated on over two acres in a single family residential subdivision. A convenience store is 5 minutes away, and grocery stores, restaurants, shopping centers, marinas, boat rentals, movies and the State Park are all within 2 to 30 minutes' drive - some by car and some by boat! The small protected cove is ideal for swimming, fishing, floating, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding and paddle boating but with easy access to the lake and only 2 minutes from the Bridge which has restaurants, miniature golf, game room, gift shops, realtors and the Chamber of Commerce.

Kathy's Place is two stories totaling 2800+ sq. ft. plus a 200 sq. ft. lakefront sunroom. All rooms are spacious and comfortably furnished. There is a queen bed and twin bed in the master bedroom. The lakefront bedroom has a queen bed and a twin bed. All beds have pillow top mattress covers. The living room has a 65' Flat screen HD TV. The Family room been converted to a game room with a pool table with ping pong table top, a foosball table, a 42' Flat screen HD TV on a swivel tilting mount with TV Streaming package and WIFI High Speed Internet is included. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel cookware, 25 cu. ft. refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, blender and Mr. Coffee coffeemaker. The laundry room is equipped with commercial size washer & dryer. Scheduled trash pick up is once a week. The unit has cleaning supplies, vacuum, ironing board, iron and hair dryer. There is also a baby gate for the stairwell and a baby seat for use at the dining room table.

All bed linens, bath towels and kitchen towels along with toilet paper, dish soap, trash bags and courtesy soaps are provided year round EXCEPT FOR THE SUMMER WEEKLY RENTALS. SUMMER WEEKLY RENTERS MUST BRING YOUR OWN BATH AND BEACH TOWELS. The other items listed above will be provided.

A large Gas Grill is on the patio deck...propane included.

We also have free trash pick up.

There are two dock patio areas, each with large floater dock with electric and water. One of the docks has a fish cleaning stand. You will have shared use of 5 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, a paddle boat, canoe, tubes, noodles, floats, diving board and sandy beach with firepit. The dock has access by stairs or golf car ramp. A complimentary golf car will also be provided with each rental for your exclusive use (adult drivers only!) for access to the dock and beach.

We are 'Pet Friendly' provided you have a crate to contain your pet when left alone in the rental; your pet is currently in a flea treatment program 60 days prior to your arrival; and you clean up after your pet. There is not a leash requirement on our property provided you keep your pet under control. The neighborhood is 'casual' and cats and dogs do wander onto the property at times. A $75.00 fee will be charged for the first 2 nights and $10.00 for any additional night per pet for extra cleaning to keep the unit and yard neat and clean. Any major damage done by your pet will be repaired and billed to you.

There is 'No Smoking' inside but ashtrays are provided on the deck and dock areas outside. Please do not throw butts in the yard, driveway or lake. Thank you.

Our rentals are self-managed, cleaned and maintained directly by us, the owners, Captains Spike & Kathy Franceschini of Spike's Prime Time Fishin'. We and our boats are on premise and available for charter. Please see additional web links on this site.

The lake view was amazing. Kathy and Spike are very accommodating and make sure you are all set when you check in. The amenities were awesome! We enjoyed paddle boarding on the lake during the day and just enjoying the ambiance at night. Honestly you don’t even need to leave the property, it has a little bit of everything.

The setting is lovely and relaxing. The hosts and their hospitality are outstanding/unmatched. The rental is clean and well furnished. My wife and I stayed for 2 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. Our friends joined in and there was plenty of space for 4 people. Will definitely rent again if we visit the lake in the future.

Kathy's Place-Phenomenal!

This is a beautiful house, well-equipped, clean, roomy, and comfortable with beautiful views. Convenient to Hales Ford Bridge and Bridgewater Plaza. The hosts went above and beyond to help us and make us feel comfortable, alert us about the weather, and provide information about the area. I highly recommend this property.
