The house was perfect for our group which included 2 families with grandparents, college students and kids. We really enjoyed the house and the fire pit. We only had one day warm enough for the kids to enjoy the beach, but I am sure it would be even better in the summer!!The communication was excellent!

Beautiful lakefront property on the main lake. We loved the dock and sandy beach to wade right into the cove area; perfect for swimming. Yard has lovely landscaping and perfect fire pit. House is older and a little tired; could use updates.

This property accommodated our family of 14 well. There was plenty of refrigerator space with two refrigerators, one drink refrigerator and a separate ice machine. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Parking was great for at least 8 cars. The private beach was wonderful for the whole family.

Overall just an amazing week. The property is perfectly positioned, and the beach (especially with young kids) was incredible. The house was very comfortable and well laid out, although it is a bit on the older/outdated side. The basement was a bit musty and we ended up not sleeping anyone down there. Regardless, we and an amazing time.

This is the second time for our family of 16 to stay at Thomwells Family Affair on Smith Mountain Lake. Plenty of space for everybody - two large family room type areas. The lake is incredibly low, but we had no trouble docking a pontoon boat. Beautiful landscaping on the lake side of the house with a large fire pit. Great porch on the lakeside as well that had shade throughout the day. The only downside was the 30 minute drive to the nearest large grocery store but there was a convenience store close by.
