About this property

Love Sunsets? Glory in a natural, cozy, rustic setting

This cabin is a Family Treasure. Built as the original vacation cabin on Island Lane, road created by my Dad (retired professor from UVA) fifty years ago. Great Smith Mountain Lake location! Right on the main channel adjacent to lake marker R-8 where the Roanoke and Blackwater Rivers meet.

Recently renovated 1st floor, kitchen & bathroom. Expansive lake view with exquisite sunsets are yours for the taking. Peek at the lake from every window direction, face the lake from the deck (like on a boat, and could step out into the water) and just a few steps below will take you to a private stationary dock, where boats can be parked. A few steps up off the upper deck will lead you to perfect views of the July 4th holiday fireworks from Saunders Parkway Marina. Brand new upgrade features a double mini-split ductless heat pump system provides clean, efficient AC, and heat. Please note: Vacation rental guests do bring their own Bed linens and Towels.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Owens

Host profile image
I am a musician and educator, and this was my former home for 16 years, and I still love it. The lake cottage provided to me a lot of special solace to practice and develop my musicianship on piano, violin, mandolin. Plus, I love swimming!

Why they chose this property

My father spotted Smith Mountain Lake about 50 years ago and bought a large track of land. In fact, he put the road in, on this peninsula. Several family homes were built and some lots sold. This cottage property was constructed by my father and was my home for 16 years. To eliminate a daily commute to work, I moved to town nearby, and created a beautiful short-term lake rental to share with visiting guests on vacation.

What makes this property unique

Amazing, breathtaking views of the Lake, brightness and light, peacefulness, serenity and privacy (during the week), lake liveliness on the summer weekends! And, always, Glorious Sunsets.
