This lake house was absolutely wonderful. My husband and our dogs had a great time— their communication was excellent, the home was very cozy and clean, and the check in and check out process was very simple.

Perfect getaway! Clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced, with everything needed to have a great stay. Cottage is located right on the water and has a great fire pit and beautiful view from the hot tub.

A Beautiful View

If you want to enjoy Smith Mountain Lake while drinking your morning coffee or your evening with a cocktail, the deck on this is the place to be! Great dock to enjoy the water too!

Overall the stay was nice, only complaint was the house was very cold on arrival and took several hours to warm up. Everything else was orderly and clean.

Truly Relaxing

It was more beautiful than the pictures and peaceful. I thought there would have been more traffic on the water but only a few boats. The hottub was my favorite part with a book and a spectacular view. It was amazing, we highly recommend.

Great week on the lake

Our family of 5 enjoyed this home. Great location, plenty of room for us, and a well maintained home. We brought our boat and took it to coffee, dinner, ice cream, etc. Swam and fished all day from the dock. Thank you!

Came for the view, and didn't disappoint! The house was clean and comfortable. We swam and fished off the dock. The only drawback was lack of some back was the lack of some kitchen equipment.

Trixie loves the deck!
The lake with an Ice Cream Boat! Just for fun.

We had a wonderful peaceful stay. Kids and dog loved it. Deck felt very safe to let my kids enjoy the outdoor view without worrying they’d fall off, need close supervision on steps down to and on the dock. Kitchen had plenty of basics for preparing easy meals if desired, however no filtered water so definitely bring that; the tap is a bit sulfur-smelling and wouldn’t be great for large consumption. House was comfortable- comfy couches and beds and a nice big TV. We found the location very convenient for most things, about 15 minutes to SML state park and 15-20 minutes to most other things. We’ll definitely come back! The view is the best!!

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're thrilled to hear that you, your kids, and your dog had a peaceful and enjoyable stay. It’s wonderful that the deck felt safe for your little ones to take in the beautiful view, and we appreciate your note about supervising the steps and dock area for added safety. We're glad the kitchen was well-stocked for your meal prep and that the home provided comfortable couches, beds, and a big TV for your relaxation. Thank you for the helpful tip about the tap water; we always recommend bringing filtered water for drinking when needed. It’s great to know the location worked well for your adventures around SML State Park and beyond. We look forward to welcoming you back for another stay with that amazing view.

Great location, fun little house

Pros: easy to find, well marked, plenty parking. Great access to the lake, easy stairs. nice dock, loved the floating island. nice firepit by lake. Big hot tub (could use a light at hot tub). Nice spacious deck. Good grill. spacious kitchen. Master bedroom big, bed comfy, nice bedding (dangerous spots on edge of bed frame, knots in wood) Nice shower pressure. Cons: noa/c in the guest bedroom. this is a big deal in the hot months. maybe a ceiling fan in living room to circulate the air? We had a couple issues that were dealt with promptly by rental company. We'd stay again if they fix the a/c or in a cooler time of year. we didn't use the "cub den" but could see it being a lot of fun for kids.
