About this property
Newly renovated!!! Waterfront home with private beach and boat access.
Come and enjoy all Smith Mountain Lake has to offer at our newly renovated home! Every square foot as been completely redone within the last five years. The basement has been gutted and redone just this last winter!
Gibbs retreat is centrally located in the beautiful quiet wooded subdivision of Beechwood West at Smith Mt. Lake, making it close to shopping and activities. By water it is located at R 31 on the main channel of the Roanoke arm of the lake, less than 5 minutes by water to Hales Ford Bridge, Bridgewater Plaza and more. In just a 15 minutes drive you can access the main shopping areas of the lake, restaurants, gift shops, children activities, putt-putt golf. We are only 45 minutes from Roanoke and 55 to Lynchburg; making it easy to spend the day in either place. Gibbs Retreat is just as beautiful in the fall, winter and spring. We are surrounded by trees to enjoy the beautiful colors in fall and spring.
Winter is a great time to visit and enjoy quiet time around the fireplace. SML offers a lot of fun festivals including Pirate Days the 3rd weekend in July, SML Antique and Classic Boat Festival in September, SML Home Tour in October, and Chili Festival in November. You will also find plenty of fireworks for 4th of July and events during December for Christmas . Winter would be a wonderful to spend time with family putting puzzles together, playing games, celebrating Thanksgiving or Christmas. Worried there will be no decorations for Christmas, no need I decorate the inside of the house for Christmas. Winter would also be a great time if you are an author and need a quite place to write, quilters or scrapbookers…..
Gibbs retreat is comfortable 3-bedroom wood frame house with a large great room. The house comes with 2 lake front queen masters. One on the main level and one downstairs and an additional queen bed and 2 single beds available upstairs.

The outdoor deck is complete with a security gate at the steps has a large table for outdoor dining, grill, seating to enjoy the view and gas firepit. We provide the propane for the gas grill and firepit at no extra charge. We have added a porch swing under the deck to sit and enjoy the quiet. It's a great hideaway. Guests are welcome to any floats we have in the garage. Our laundry is located in the guest bath on the main floor eliminating any trips downstairs. Bringing or renting a boat? Great!

So many thoughtful items that make your stay easier. There were multi outlet extensions with USB ports next to every bed. The host was great to work with and very responsive. The house was extremely clean.
We enjoyed our stay. The house was very nicely updated and had everything we needed. Communication with the owner was easy with quick replies. The gas firepit on the deck was perfect for the evening and made our kids happy to make s’mores. I would stay at this house again.
A great place to stay on the lake! House has plenty of room and is well-organized. Plenty of kitchen utensils and such for a big group. We enjoyed the location so much, we've already booked again for next year.
Beautiful views and beautiful area! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for our family Thanksgiving dinner! Lots of games to be played and dog friendly. TY so much for having us!
Beautiful home and lake access! New renovations are impressive. Quiet neighborhood and very accommodating for families. Plenty of space both indoors and outdoors! Great for cooking, family game and movie time, neighborhood walks, and relaxing on the dock.
This lake house proved to be a great place for our family to meet up. Very clean, and well equipped. A good location for spending time on & around Smith Mountain Lake.
My family and I had a great stay at Gibbs Retreat. The house was perfect for our family, very spacious, comfortable, clean, and appeared to have lots of recent updates. The neighborhood was very nice , quiet and friendly folks. The view of the lake from the deck was quite impressive as well. Host was very responsive and helpful prior to and during our stay. We will definitely be returning to Smith Mountain lake again and if this house is avaliable we would certainly choose it.
Great house, great views! Better than we expected. An unfortunate plumbing issue prevented our stay, but the hosts were responsive and super helpful. We'll try again.
The propoerty was great. We sat on the porch, reading and watching the boats. The house was beautiful inside and had everything we needed. We would definetly stay there again.
Great location on the lake with beautiful water views. The neighborhood is quiet and we enjoyed taking walks each day. Had a quiet and cozy Thanksgiving with family at the lake and plan to do it again!
The hosts were amazing and very responsive and we had no issues during our stay. Looking forward to our next stay at Smith Mountain Lake!
Very nice property. Plenty of room for myself, my wife and our dog. Easy access by car and boat. Nice boathouse/dock will easily accommodate 3 boats. Will definitely consider a return trip.
We had a lovely weekend getaway. The house was clean and comfortable. The elevated view of the lake was lovely, and we really enjoyed the fire pit on the deck in the evenings. The house is on a quiet street and about a 15 minute drive to stores and restaurants, but it is nice to be away from any hustle and bustle!
Great spot on a beautiful lake! It is a secluded location and the neighborhood is very quiet. The hosts lives across the street and they were welcoming and flexible with our needs! Thanks for a great weekend!
