This was a perfect property for our group. Great views and easy access to restaurants. We rented a boat and found this location convenient for our daily boat excursion. Check-in was easy and rhe owner communicated well.
Beautiful location on Smith Mountain Lake. The view was picturesque. The house was nice more like a cottage feel.

We were pleased that this group chose to stay at Autumn Cove for a wedding weekend. As they wished they had more time to enjoy the lake, we hope they'll consider returning for a longer stay in the future.
Lovely house with a beautiful view of the lake. Lots of great spaces to enjoy family meals both inside and outside to enjoy the view. During the reservation process and leading up to our stay the owner has went above and beyond to communicate and assist us in any way he could. It was a wonderful stay and would definitely book again!
This is our 5th time coming to SML for a fall weekend with our family. So far, Autumn Cove has been our favorite. Host was very communicative throughout. We plan to stay here again in the future!
We enjoyed waking up to the beautiful lake views every morning. The boat dock was convenient for lounging and for docking our jet ski. Overall, it was a great stay!

These guests were very accommodating -- they took delivery of a repair part which was sent to the property, took photos of the box labels for me and stored it in a safe place for installation by a technician after their departure. We're glad they enjoyed their stay at the lake and some time on the water.
It was a nice family oriented place that was a great place to go and relax with family and friends and spend quality time together. Only thing we could of wished for that was better was better weather other then that we loved it and 100% will be returning at some point!
Everything just as described if not better. The owner Kirk was very easy to work with. The location was great, easy to get to by car and close to marinas by boat.
Location is ideal, close to shops and restaurants by boat or by car. Nice easy walk to the lake from the house, great dock. The house was cozy and had plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy themselves. The house was well stocked and the host was great at telling us everything we needed to know ahead of our stay. This was the best lake house we have stayed at yet and look forward to go back next summer!
The house is in a great spot on the lake. Quick boat ride to Bridgewater or Drifters. It was extremely clean and comfortable and communication was excellent throughout. We loved all the deer in the yard and the view from the deck was unbeatable. We’ll definitely look at this property first next time we head down!
We stayed here with another couple while visiting our children at Ferrum college for the weekend. The property was very clean and well maintained everything was just as listed. Kirk was very easy to deal with and answered any questions we had. Price was very reasonable. We would definitely stay here again.
5 friends spent the weekend enjoying the beautiful lake view and warm sunshine from the amazing front deck! The house was just right for the 5 of us and we especially liked having 3 baths! The kitchen was so nice and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We are already planning to return in 2025!
The location of this rental is prime! It’s just minutes from the marina by boat or car, minutes from grocery stores and restaurants. The house was perfect, it was spacious, right on the water, and well stocked with all the cleaning and kitchen stuff we needed. The hosts were great, with a lot of good communication. We will definitely stay here again!
Amazing area great location very spacious and cleanliness and felt like home away from home the scenery was excellent quiet and everything we need to enjoy and handy to use we are so thankful and happy that we chose to stay in Moneta Va
And we will be back again
Overall nice property and we enjoyed the stay. Only thing I can say bad is the boatlift was not working and the two large beds are very noisy.

We're glad this group enjoyed their stay. The property features include the ability to dock using the covered boat slip. The boat lift is inoperable due to damage to the lift and mounting rafter caused by improper use on multiple occasions. The lift was disabled to avoid an unsafe situation from arising.
We'll look at replacing some beds during the next off-season.
This was my first time ever renting a house. The owner was fast to communicate and the house was as listed. Clean and in a perfect location for us. The view is amazing from the deck. Lots of room for us 4 adults and 2 kids. Would definitely stay here again

We're pleased to have provided a positive rental experience for this family of antique boat enthusiasts. We appreciate their patience working through some issues with the on-line booking system. Next time we'll have to check out their classic boats firsthand!
Enjoyed our stay at Autumn Cove! Home was lakefront with a short walk to water down a short hill. Loved the dock and other amenities. We would rent this place again. Owner was very easy to work with and accommodating to our needs. Thanks!
Everything was great! We both needed some decompressing time away and this home was perfect! We didn’t want to leave our view. Kirk is so helpful and easy to contact and help with any and all questions. Can’t wait to come back!

We're pleased that the property was just what these renters expected and that they enjoyed the location and the view from the deck.
We do have good neighbors! The new dock is a result of their keeping an eye on things for us during the winter season!
