About this property

Lakefront Home - Private Dock, Kayaks, Game Room, Fire Pit, Pet-Friendly

Welcome to Stillwater Retreat—your waterfront lakefront escape on a quiet cove at Smith Mountain Lake.

Designed for easy, laid-back lake days, this pet-friendly home offers direct water access, a private dock, and space to relax both inside and out. Whether you’re kayaking in the morning, spending the afternoon on the water, or unwinding by the fire pit in the evening, everything here is set up for a simple, memorable stay.

Outdoor living is a highlight:
Enjoy a spacious deck with lake views, a private dock for swimming, fishing, or tying up your boat, and a custom-built lakeside fire pit area with Adirondack seating—perfect for s’mores and evenings under the stars. Guests also have access to 2 kayaks and a paddleboard to explore the quiet cove.

Inside, there’s room for everyone to unwind:
The main level features a comfortable living area with lake views and a gas fireplace, along with a fully equipped kitchen and dining space. Downstairs, the game room includes a pool table, foosball, darts, board games, and a second TV lounge—ideal for families and groups to spread out.

Sleeping areas are designed for comfort, and a dedicated workspace in the master bedroom includes a desk, chair, and power/USB access for remote work.

Location makes it easy:
Walk to a nearby gas station and Vinny’s Italian Restaurant, or take a short drive to Bridgewater Plaza for lakeside dining, shops, mini golf, arcade, and boat rentals. Grocery stores like Kroger and Food Lion are just minutes away.

Good to know before booking:
- The driveway and path to the dock are steep (typical for lakefront homes). Steps have been improved with wider treads and a sturdy handrail on the main section.
- The downstairs bathroom includes a smaller, cabin-style shower.
- This is a classic lake home—clean, comfortable, and continuously improving (not ultra-modern).

Property notes:
Two outdoor cameras are installed (driveway and lake-facing) for property monitoring and are not active during guest stays.

Dock & Water Safety Notice:
This is a lakefront property with a private dock. Use of the dock, lake, swimming, boating, and any water activities is entirely at your own risk.
Children and pets must be supervised at all times near the water. No diving from the dock. Guests assume full responsibility for their safety and the safety of all members of their party.

About the host

Hosted by Lydia Hart

Host profile image
We’re a family that loves to travel, try new restaurants, and just hang out together—usually with a movie at the end of the day. Life gets busy fast with work and everyone’s schedules, so getting away is kind of our reset. It’s how we slow down and actually spend time together, and that’s something we really value. Hosting this place is our way of sharing that with others.

Why they chose this property

We just really love being on the lake. The house sits in a quiet cove, which is one of our favorite things—it’s perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding, or just floating without a lot of boat traffic. It feels peaceful and tucked away, but you still have easy access to everything on the lake. It’s the kind of spot where you can truly relax.

What makes this property unique

It’s really the mix of peaceful and fun. Being in a quiet cove makes it feel calm and private, but you still get all the lake activities right outside your door. We’ve tried to set the house up so it works just as well for a relaxing weekend as it does for a more active trip—morning coffee on the deck, afternoons on the water, and evenings hanging out together.

Another thing we love is how close you are to everything. Restaurants, mini golf, arcades, and other family stuff are either walkable, or just a short drive away, so it’s easy to get out and do something without it turning into a whole production. It’s the kind of place that just feels easy once you get here.
