There are many outdoor spaces to enjoy at the cottage. The deck provides a peaceful, wooded setting to enjoy the views while relaxing or cooking on the gas grill. A gravel, switch-back path leads down to the dock. The dock is a great place to swim, fish, float, and enjoy the sunset. Two kayaks are available for our guests during their stay.

First time staying here and we were very pleased! The house was very clean and comfortable, including the beds. Communication was great and very detailed. Loved that! The location was great, close to the Bridgewater Plaza and Food Lion! We also enjoyed bird watching and seeing deer. We loved having the private dock and kayaks! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

About the host

Hosted by Taylor

Hello! It's nice to cross paths with you! Here's a little about us...
My husband and I live in Stafford, Virginia. We have three sons- two in college and one in high school. I am a teacher at my youngest son's high school. My husband retired from a twenty+ year career in the Marine Corps and is now working as a project manager in Manassas, VA. My husband and I have been looking to purchase a lake cottage/cabin for a few years. Two years ago we rented a condominium at Smith Mountain Lake and fell in love with the area. In April 2021 we found exactly what we were looking for- a little cottage on the lake! We are both working full-time and are not able to visit the lake as frequently as we'd like to. Since it's available much of the year, we thought we'd share it with others who love the lake just as much as we do! We hope you enjoy your stay!

My favorite things about the cottage:
-Having morning coffee on the back deck
-Relaxing on the dock in the afternoons watching all the water fun
-Getting exercise by taking walks down to the point
-Grabbing lunch at the Diamond Hill Country Store (roast beef sandwiches are my favorite)
-Fishing off the end of the dock
-Kayaking around the corner to Jake's Place
-Grilling on the back deck
-Eating at Napoli Cowboy (it's a 20-25 min. car or boat ride, but it's worth it)
