About this property

The Lake House on Sunset Point - Lakefront home with private dock & pool table

The Lake House on Sunset Point sits on a wide, deep-water cove on Smith Mountain Lake in Moneta, Virginia — an easy walk to Virginia Dare Cruises & Marina and a short drive to Smith Mountain Lake State Park. The water's calm most days. Mornings tend to start on the deck. Evenings end at the fire pit on the patio. The kitchen's fully stocked with new stainless steel appliances. The dock's ready for your boat, or a quiet afternoon of fishing. Bring your dog - this house is dog-friendly. Whether you're teaching the kids to cast a line, out on the kayak or paddleboard, or just watching the water with coffee in hand, there's room here to actually slow down. If you'd rather explore than stay put, local wineries and the Blue Ridge Parkway are close by, and history buffs can visit Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest, the Booker T. Washington National Monument, or the National D-Day Memorial.

The home sits in a Great location in regards to the Lake and nearby amenities, such as Marinas, public beach/national park or nearby convenience stores.Host does a great job in providing everything you’ll need for a fun time at the Lake, all kitchen essentials, game room, grilling station etc.The home was just a delight that our family definitely enjoyed.Communication was prompt and courteous.The only thing we needed was more days to enjoy the area, everything else was just great!During our stay we got rained-in one day but with all provided amenities in the game room we had a blast being indoors, the next day the storm had passed and we were able to enjoy the kayaks and padle board and of course the lake itself. We don’t fish but certainly could have, as we saw plenty of small mouth bass swimming nearby.All in all we recommend this home to anyone looking for a fun getaway at SML.
