Glad you enjoyed your stay. You are welcome back any time.
My wife and I could not have asked for a better trip. Kathy and Spike were extremely kind and welcoming. The house was beautiful along with its views of the lake. Kathy was so accommodating the whole trip and helped with anything we needed. We will definitely be back!
The hosts have thought of everything you would need to relax and enjoy your vacation. Perfect spot on the lake, beautiful views and convenient location.
Relaxing on the patio with a terrific view of the Smith Mountain lake was wonderful. Kathy and Spike were great hosts. The rooms were spacious and comfortable

About the host
Hosted by Capts. Spike & Kathy Franceschini
We started 'Spike's Prime Time Fishin' in 1988. Spike and I are striper charter captains with two 22 ft. deck boats. We purchased the triplex to offer fishing charters and waterfront vacation rentals to our clients and to anyone who enjoys the water like we do. We tried to put the amenities we liked best in all of the places we have traveled and stayed into our fishing and waterfront vacation rental business.
Why they chose this property
We chose our triplex immediately for the magnificent view! We also chose it for close proximity to stores, etc. and Route 122. It is near the Hales Ford Bridge, which gives us close access to Bridgewater Plaza and local marinas. It also puts us halfway on the Roanoke River side of the lake, which gives us excellent access to fishing from the Dam to the headwaters the year round. We have deep water under our docks but also have a small shallow water sandy beach.
What makes this property unique
A golf car is included in your rental. We have shared use of 5 kayaks, a paddle boat, 2 paddle boards, diving board, tubes, noodles, floats, canoe and sandy beach with firepit. There is great fishing off of our docks. Situated on over 2 acres, we are surrounded by large white pines which give a 'compound' effect for privacy. There is plenty of grass for putting up volleyball/badminton/croquet sets. A large paved driveway is wonderful for skateboards, bikes, roller blades and sidewalk chalk. We also live on a dead end street and keeps traffic to a minimum, good for walking and biking.
