About this property

Flat Lot Lakefront with State Park Views

Welcome to Lakeside Cove at Smith Mountain Lake!

Escape the noise and traffic of the main channel at this peaceful lakefront spot across from the State Park, where you’ll enjoy nature instead of neighbors. The flat lot makes getting to the water easy. Great for families, fishermen, and boaters with mooring, trailer parking, and plenty of water toys for the kids—a perfect place to relax and enjoy the lake.

Our home’s location is a major draw. Situated just inside the wide cove entrance, you’ll feel like you’re truly on the lake rather than “up the river.” The State Park across the water cuts boat traffic in half, giving you nature views instead of houses. Wildlife is abundant—squirrels, deer, geese, and cranes often visit your yard and shoreline.

With a flat lot and no stairs between the back deck and shoreline, it’s easy to bring coolers, food, and water toys down for fun on the lake. A set of stairs to the water lets kids play safely in the shallow areas while you relax on the deck or under the shade of mature trees. Deeper water at the end of the dock is ideal for fishing and boat access. You’ll have full use of our portion of the dock, including the boathouse and floating dock, with space for your boat and jet skis.

No boat? No problem! Explore the lake with any of our 6 kayaks or 2 paddleboards, complete with life jackets. Or just hang out in the water with our pool noodles and floating lily pad mat.

Linens and bath towels are provided for each guest at no extra cost. Please bring your own lake towels and any pet towels you may need.

Inside the home:

- Upper Level: Open kitchen, dining, and living space with large windows and doors offering lake views. The kitchen has new appliances, ample counter space, and more than just the basic supplies—everything you need to cook, serve, and enjoy meals with family and friends. Dining table seats 6, with extra chairs available. Living room features a large sectional with 3 power recliners and a 55" Smart TV. Down the hall is a king bedroom and full bath.

-Lower Level: Second living area with another large sectional with power recliners, 55" TV, and easy access to outdoor fun. Two bedrooms share a full bath and laundry room. One king bedroom has sliding glass doors with beautiful morning lake views.

-Bunk Bedroom: Custom adult-friendly bunk beds with 2 fulls, 2 twins, and stairs for safe access. Each bunk has storage, outlets, and dimmable LED reading lights. The room also has a 55" Smart TV and cubbies for each bed.

-Every living area and bedroom has its own mini-split unit for heating and cooling.

Outdoor spaces and extras:

-Lower deck: oversized couch, 2 chairs, a table for drinks or games, fans for extra comfort, and movable Adirondack chairs.

-Upper deck: dining table for 4, additional railing seating, fans, and a fixed awning for summer shade to enjoy the lake views.

-Ample parking with two driveways, plenty of room for multiple cars and trailers, and easy boat trailer access.

-Xfinity internet and WiFi coverage throughout the house.

Relaxing winter getaway

We wanted a relaxing winter getaway and that's exactly what we got. This property is beautiful and the home has lots of windows with views of the lake. The host was very communicative and flexible when bad weather threatened the area and we ended up needing to change dates. If we ever go back to the area in the summer I would definitely stay here again to take advantage of all the water activities!

Wonderful relaxing stay at a beautiful spot

We loved our time here. Beautiful view from the upstairs as well as the downstairs. Great neighborhood. Easy to walk with our dog. Well stocked kitchen. We liked the individualized temp control of each room. Comfortable beds. Great recliner sofas. Communication with Malcom was great and very prompt. One of the cleanest VRBO's we have ever stayed in. Great streaming on the TV. Loved sitting on the deck and reading. Very peaceful and quiet area. Next to the State Park so we didn't look at houses in our view. Will definitely be back!!!

About the host

Hosted by Malcolm Plessinger

Host profile image
Enjoy travelling and being outdoors. When I'm not at home working, I'm usually down at the lake or off on another adventure.

Why they chose this property

We love this property because of the seclusion from the bustle of the lake, incredible view across the water of the State Park, and the flat lot makes it easy to be in the house and on the dock all at the same time!

What makes this property unique

We have great views of the water and lots of shoreline. The swimming area is great for all ages, and our flat lot makes water access super easy!
