We picked this house last minute as our other place fell through due to septic issues. We were happy to find a place so last minute but glad we found this house. The location was great, on a quiet cove and a quiet street. There is a nice dock out the back that we kayaked and SUPed from. Deer came through the yard every day, lots of fish splashing about in the lake - none of them came near our fishing rods (next time!). The house has lots of beds, couches seemed new and comfortable. Lots of TV's, a fooseball table, some board games, and a set of cornhole boards round out the entertainment at the house. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need (except a whisk oddly enough), even had lots of spices, sugar, oil, coffee filters and coffee - which was really nice. The only downside is bringing your own linens - it just took up lots of room in the car but you can rent from a local place I believe too. The house has a ton of pillows and blankets so that is good. The appliances are older but work just fine. All communication with management was quick and easy and had no troubles the entire week trip! You can pick up supplies at the White House Corner Store - basics plus wine/beer and lake supplies such as fishing lures, coolers, floaties, etc. Otherwise stop in Lynchburg at the Food Lion to get major groceries. We are already planning our summer holiday next year at Smith Mountain Lake.
