Dock High and Dry? Stay Where Dock Access Isn't!

Welcome to Lakeside Cove at Smith Mountain Lake!

Don't let low water levels ruin your lake vacation. Many areas of Smith Mountain Lake have experienced difficult dock access during the current low water conditions. Fortunately, our dock remains easily accessible, making it simple to enjoy your boat, jet skis, swimming, fishing, and everything else the lake has to offer. If your own lake house or another rental has become challenging to use, Lakeside Cove offers an easy, worry-free alternative.

Escape the noise and traffic of the main channel at this peaceful lakefront spot across from the State Park, where you’ll enjoy nature instead of neighbors. The flat lot makes getting to the water easy. Great for families, fishermen, and boaters with mooring, trailer parking, and plenty of water toys for the kids—a perfect place to relax and enjoy the lake.

Our home’s location is a major draw. Situated just inside the wide cove entrance, you’ll feel like you’re truly on the lake rather than “up the river.” The State Park across the water cuts boat traffic in half, giving you nature views instead of houses. Wildlife is abundant—squirrels, deer, geese, and cranes often visit your yard and shoreline.

With a flat lot and no stairs between the back deck and shoreline, it’s easy to bring coolers, food, and water toys down for fun on the lake. A set of stairs to the water lets kids play safely in the shallow areas while you relax on the deck or under the shade of mature trees. Deeper water at the end of the dock is ideal for fishing and boat access. You’ll have full use of our portion of the dock, including the boathouse and floating dock, with space for your boat and jet skis.

No boat? No problem! Explore the lake with any of our 6 kayaks or 2 paddleboards, complete with life jackets. Or just hang out in the water with our pool noodles and floating lily pad mat.

Linens and bath towels are provided for each guest at no extra cost. Please bring your own lake towels and any pet towels you may need.
