About this property

True Lakefront, Easy Water Access, Dock, Hot Tub, Sleeps 12

Why do guests choose this place over the others?
Because it removes the doubt. True lakefront, not a technicality. A dock that gets you on the water fast. A hot tub that turns nights into memories. A home that is genuinely spotless, with king beds that feel like a reset button. If you want the lake experience to be the feature, not a gamble, this is it.

Welcome to Brenda, your true lakefront escape at Smith Mountain Lake, with a rare gentle walk to the dock. No steep terrain or stairs. No hauling coolers uphill. Just water, views, and ease from the moment you arrive.

This is the lake house guests walk into and say,
“Okay… this is even better than the pictures.”

Lakefront Living, Without the Hassle

• Private dock with easy, no-stairs access
• 3 kayaks + 6×20 ft Lily Pad
• Hot tub with lake views
• Fire pit for late-night stories
• Hammocks for slow afternoons

Morning coffee on the deck as fog lifts off the water.
Afternoons floating, paddling, fishing, or simply doing nothing at all.
Evenings under the stars, hot tub on, phones down.

Inside Brenda: Space to Gather. Space to Breathe.

• 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths
• King beds in every suite
• Two living areas + game space
• Dual fully equipped kitchens
• Smart TVs and fast Wi-Fi
• In-home laundry

No fighting for bathrooms.
No cramped sleeping arrangements.
No “this kitchen isn’t stocked” surprises.

Everything is clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up so you can settle in immediately.

Perfect For

• Multi-family lake trips
• Couples’ weekends
• Friends’ reunions
• Fall leaf weekends
• Football getaways
• Work-from-lake escapes

Brenda works because the layout works.
Everyone gets their own space, and everyone has somewhere to gather.

About the host

Hosted by Ronald Gulick

Host profile image
My name is Ronald and I live and work in the DC area. I love the lake and I love Smith Mountain Lake. It made sense to own and share a property. I am excited to use this property for my own vacations as well as share it with you.

What makes this property unique

The best thing about this property is its position on the lake and the ease to get to the dock. Some properties on the lake are gorgeous but have many steep stairs. Not at Brenda. The backyard is a very gentle slope and anyone can make it to and from the dock with ease.
