Very beautiful property, decorated perfectly to enhance lake life. The owners have thought of every detail to ensure your stay is flawless. This appears to be a newer property that’s well cared for. We rented a boat from a local marina to fish on the lake. Every aspect of our rental experience was awesome!

SML Lake Retreat

The property is just perfect in every way for a family vacation on SML. Clean, beautifully decorated, with top notch amenities and appliances. The boat house dock is amazing for the entire family to spend all day and the evening right on the lake. We rented a boat and had a place to dock it. Top shelf all around.

Kurt and Nancy have made this property all you could want in a lake house. From the beautiful dock to the kitchen stocked with everything you would ever need it was excellent. We explored SML from end to end. The quiet end of the cove location is perfect. We got lucky and arrived the night of the fireworks at Mitchells Marina. The fireworks from the boat were spectacular. From all of us, Thank You!!!

Beautiful and relaxing lake home

We had a fantastic time at Kurt and Nancy's gorgeous lake home. This is one of the nicer VRBO rentals we have stayed in. Super clean, comfy beds, kitchen was very well equipped, amazing screened in patio overlooking the lake, and a fantastic dock to hang out. Very close to Smith Mountain Lake for nice hiking! We highly recommend staying here.

Fabulous weekend on the lake

The house is beautiful and perfect for a couple of families. The cove is quiet and the lake views are fantastic. Everything is provided for a great stay. It was pretty cold our first couple of days but we enjoyed hanging at the house, the fire pit and the views! I definitely recommend this house!

Excellent Stay in SML

Our family has enjoyed Smith Mountain Lake for a number of years. This property was exceptional - clean, well furnished, and stocked with everything you need for vacation. The house was great - we really enjoyed the screened-in porch, fire pit, and the boat dock. The kids particularly enjoyed the separate bunk house to hang out as well. Kurt was super receptive to any questions and we'd recommend to any family looking to explore/enjoy SML.
