About this property
Summer Lane NO WAKE Cove/FLAT Lot/FirePit/Boats/Hot Tub/Gamerm/Cabana/Generator
Summer Lane is an incredible waterfront property. Our home has a 16 x 40 second floor deck, underneath patio and fire pit area. Take in the amazing view of the lake as you sit in our Marquis Hot Tub with LED lighting. You will love the view from the second floor deck and hot tub as you can see for miles. The dining area seats ten and has a gorgeous view of the lake. You can see the lake from almost every room in the house. The swimming area is ideal because we are located in one of the only no wake coves on the lake. To insure your safety we have added a dock lifeguard shock warning system to our swim area. Serve food and drinks from the cabana on the dock where there is plenty of seating in and out of the sun. There is a large floating dock for your boat, or wave runners and lots of space on our stationary dock. Enjoy exploring the lake as you cruise the shoreline in our three complementary kayaks and two paddle boards. At night enjoy the lakeside fire pit area to roast your marshmallows. Every detail has been taken care of, and the quality of the home, appliances, and furnishings are unmatched. The expansive kitchen is fully equipped with lots of small appliances and everything you would need for that special meal. There are actually three refrigerators for your use. Enjoy the downstairs where your family can chill and watch TV or battle it out in a family tournament of foosball or air hockey. Enjoy the bar area where there is another refrigerator and sink. You will find Wi-Fi throughout the home. This home offers 5 bedrooms and three bathrooms also completely updated with new vanities and furnishings. We have a whole house generator to insure you are uninterrupted during your stay. We are off the main channel of Craddock’s Creek and you are protected by the no wake cove, but only a cove away from the most beautiful part of Smith Mountain Lake. The location is ideal and only a short drive to restaurants, boutiques, and grocery stores. We are one minute from enjoying the State Park Beach and attractions. Memories you make at Summer Lane will last you a lifetime!

The location was fantastic, the no hill short yard leading to the dock with no trees blocking the view, and the inside was very inviting equipped with everything we needed. Will remember this home and trip and hope to stay again in the future. Thanks for a great stay
The house is great and so well supplied - everything you could need. The kids loved all of the water toys and floats, and of course loved making s'mores in the fire pit. We didn't want to leave!

We found the home on Summer Lane to be the perfect getaway for our family holiday vacation.
We found the house and property to provide everything needed for a winter getaway. The hot tub and fire pit were perfect settings for family fun as well the kyacks. Even holiday decorations were provided by the owners! We will definitely plan a trip back to Summer Lane in the near future!

This is our second time staying at this wonderful home for the New Year holiday. The kitchen has everything a cook would need! The home is comfortable and an easy walk down to the lake. We have a fantastic time ringing in the new year at this home w our family.

We were honored to have you all back this year! Thank you for always taking such great care of our home!!!
This property is outstanding. The views of the lake are amazing and it’s just steps away from the water. There’s ample outdoor and indoor space with comfortable furnishings and the kitchen is large and well provisioned. On top of all that the hosts are lovely—they reached out with recommendations right when we booked and were quick to answer all of our questions. I will definitely be back!
Beautiful clean house that was well stocked. There was a gentle slope in the yard that made it easy to get to the dock even for older family members. No wake cove with easy access to the main channels of the lake. Lots of extras with kayaks, stand up paddleboards, air hockey and more. Plenty of parking and plenty of space for everyone. Nancy and Charles were excellent hosts and went above and beyond for our family. Highly recommend and will be renting again.

Our family has been vacationing at SML for years. One of the nicest homes we’ve ever stayed at! Summer Lane is the perfect getaway! Nancy and Charles have done a great job sharing their home. Exactly as described. Week went way too fast. We can’t wait to return.

Thank you for the lovely compliment. We feel it is the perfect getaway also and always feel our stay always flies by too! We are so happy you will be returning!
Our family had a great stay at Summer Lane for Spring Break. The house was clean and well appointed. The kids loved having the downstairs area for themselves. The hot tub was great on the cool evenings and the fire pit area was used for s’mores. We saw some bass from the dock but only managed to catch one. Highly recommend this property.
Perfect house for time on the lake. Beautiful view from the deck. Kayaks were fun to play on the water. Fire pit is huge and will accommodate a large group sitting around the fire at night. We can’t wait to get back. House has lots of space. I highly recommend this house.

So glad your birthday was great! Next time you need to take time to get in the hot tub it is so relaxing in the winter. Thank you again for staying with us!
Our family of 8 enjoyed everything about this property! Good cove for swimming and kayak and paddle board. Easy to dock our rental pontoon. Fully stocked kitchen. Extremely clean house and everything well maintained. There is not one thing I can say that isn’t positive about Summer Lane.
The house was just right for us. Its a very short walk to the dock. We weren't able to use the kayaks - it was a little too chilly - but they were available. We did use the firepit and enjoyed that quite a bit. Everything was as described.

Beautiful home, wonderful owners!
We had a celebration weekend of 50th birthdays with lifelong friends from September 7 - 10, 2018. The owners, Nancy and Charles, were so informative, helpful, kind and certainly put a lot of time and effort into this lovely home! They think of everything! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this home to anyone who will be visiting Smith Mountain Lake!

Lovely house with great amenities!
Our family just returned from a weeklong trip at Summer Lane and all agreed the home was wonderful! We enjoyed the swing by the dock, canoes, paddleboard, and hot tub, among other things. We had one rainy day, but filled it with cards, foosball, and air hockey. The kitchen is very well stocked and there's even a room off the kitchen with another fridge, coffee maker and cabinets. Would definitely recommend it!

Thank you so much Jackie for your kind words. We are so glad you had a wonderful getaway. We also like the extra room off of the kitchen and the extra refrigerator is a bonus. Hope you will visit us again in the near future.
Our 2 daughters and their kids met up at the house to celebrate my husband's 70th BD. We live in 3 different states, so meet in the middle. We hiked, kayaked, went horseback riding, made smores and relaxed in the hot tub. It was a great fall weekend!

Beautiful Weekend Spent in a Beautiful Home
Spent Thanksgiving weekend here celebrating a birthday! This home is very cozy, super spacious, sits at a great location and has gorgeous lake views! The kitchen is extremely big and has all the supplies you need - we cooked a huge family breakfast and dinner, and served it at the dining room table which is surrounded by many windows and natural lighting, overlooking the lake. We are already planning to be back sometime in the summer so we can use the beautiful deck. Thank you, Nancy, for letting us stay in your lovely home!

We are so happy you had such a great time, especially for Thanksgiving. We also love how huge the rooms are, and it makes it so nice to be able to spread out.Thank you for the great review. We always start booking a year ahead. We would really like to have you back in the future!
This was definitely one of our most favorite homes! The owners were incredible and took care to provide for the comfort of their guests. We cooked almost every meal and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. There was plenty of room for children and grandchildren who came to celebrate Mother’s 99th birthday. A gentle walk to the boat allowed her to take many boat rides and lots of outdoor space to enjoy the weather and beautiful view of the lake. We will definitely be back!

We are so happy you chose our home for such a milestone birthday celebration. You were all so great and thank you for your kind words! We look forward to having you stay with us again in the future!
This home offered a perfect setting to enjoy the quiet fall over the Thanksgiving week. The home was spacious for our multi-family gathering. The kitchen beautiful and roomy. The eating space was plentiful for meals and games. Football and hockey on the big screen. Kayaking on the lake on a sunny fall afternoon was unforgettable. A fire pit made for evening chatting and smores. The whole package is unmatchable. Enjoy!

Wonderful vacation
We had a wonderful time. The house was well appointed and spacious. We had three generations celebrating Thanksgiving and this was perfect. There was plenty of room for everyone, a large kitchen for cooking, and game area downstairs for the kids. We also spent a lot of time outside enjoying the lake view. We enjoyed fishing at the dock, went out in the kayaks, roasted marshmallows at the fire pit, and relaxed on the oversized deck (with hot tub!). Nancy was great to work with; I was amazed at the speed of her responses and she always seemed happy to talk with me about our stay. We hope to return soon!

We had such a wonderful vacation at Smith Mountain Lake. This house was absolutely perfect for our group of 10. Everyone had a bed/room, the kitchen, dining and living areas were a great size. The kitchen was well stocked for us to be able to cook dinner each night. And the pictures just don't do the outdoor space justice! The deck, hot tub, firepit and dock were incredible. We took the kayaks out, ate smores, played in the yard, enjoyed the cool fall mornings in the hot tub. Nancy was sweet and responsive the one time we needed her. We already want to come back!

We had an amazing time at Summer Lane! The house is so comfortable and well appointed, the lake is absolutely beautiful and the house has kayaks, life jackets and a lily pad to enjoy on the water. We rented a pontoon boat from Pete at SML Premiere Boats and it was delivered to us as we were checking in. The lake seems intimidatingly large at first but we quickly found our favorite spots like Los Amigos restaurant at Crazy Horse Marina and Mitchell’s Marina for great lunch and ice cream. We’ve already booked for next year’s family gathering with my VA based family! Thank you Nancy and Charles for your amazing hospitality!
