Both the home and the surrounding property were perfect for our winter getaway. We made s’mores in the fire pit, and the kids loved walking along the dock and shoreline, looking at the water. Inside was VERY clean, cozy and welcoming. We enjoyed the fireplace, closet full of games and cozy blankets for watching Christmas movies. They had it completely decorated inside and out for Christmas, which was an unexpected surprise! We are looking at booking the property again for a potential summer visit!

Lovely home, great for families. We especially enjoyed the close proximity to Bridgwater Marina (restaurants, mini golf, shops and arcade) as well as the state park. We visited during the off season and still had plenty to do. We also enjoyed hanging out and fishing off the dock. This house has all the outdoor amenities you could want.

The amenities here are great! There are large smart tvs in all the rooms and on the back porch and tiki hut. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked with pots/pans, utensils and spices. The dock was spacious and had a wonderful view. We were there over Christmas so didn’t use the water toys but there were many of them. The host was very responsive and they provided anything you might need such as convenient plugs for charging devices and automatic lights on schedules.

This house was absolutely amazing. Has everything you could ever think that you would need. From a fully stocked kitchen to cozy blankets for the inside, cozy blankets for the outside. The dock and cabana were awesome. We rented a boat and voted around the lake right before Thanksgiving. The hose were absolutely amazing. Answered all of our questions. Response was quick. We did have questions. I would totally recommend anyone to stay at their place. We plan to go back in the summertime when the weather is warmer and we can spend more time in the water.

This was our second stay at Dockside Daze, and once again, it was a fantastic week! The house is beautiful and filled with thoughtful amenities that make it feel like home. The yard is spacious—perfect for lawn games and relaxing outdoors. We especially loved the dock and tiki bar area, which is beautifully set up and offers a perfect spot to take in the stunning sunsets each evening. The location is great too—close to plenty of stores, restaurants, and everything you might need.

This property is top notch. The owners provided everything. This truly was an excellent place to be lazy and enjoy the dock and views. Upon arrival it was evident the owners put a lot of attention to detail the house outside and inside was so clean and decorated beautifully. The dock was perfect for our boat and they offered an array of kayaks paddle boats and other water floats ( we used those every day). Absolutely the best experience … so good we booked same week next year!

About the host

Hosted by Heather Crawford & Ken Slusser

Host profile image
We love to travel and water activities so Smith Mountain Lake instantly appealed to us. We take a great amount of pride in personally managing our home to ensure it is in tip top shape for our guests. As you can see from our reviews we strive to make this the vacation destination guests return to year after year.

Why they chose this property

There are only so many premium located properties at SML. We fell in love with Dockside Daze due to its great central location and amazing dock views. The gradual incline and short distance to the dock, Tiki bar, grilling and firepit area makes for easy entertainment and convenience. It's so close to everything from restaurants, churches, grocery and liquor stores, shopping, pet vets, several wineries, breweries/distilleries, and everything else.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. This property is ideally situated by both land and water. Drive or boat easily to multiple marinas, restaurants, shopping, stores etc. This home also features a wonderful dock, firepit and panoramic water views. You don't have the wake disruption of being on the main channel but you can be there in under a minute. This enables you to swim, float, kayak, paddleboard and enjoy the sunsets. Lots of deck and dock space, tiki bar with full fridge and frozen drink machine, tv, and sound system with extended range Bluetooth and 800mbs internet speed.
