This was a weekend to relax and go boating on the lake. The condo was comfortable and as described. We were able to use a courtesy dock for our boat that was just a short walk from the condo. Communication with the owner was prompt and helpful. Would rent this condo again.

At first glance 711 was beautiful, however there were a few issues which the owner should address,
The wall to wall carpet is very nice however it presents a challenge moving chairs in the dining area.
The dishwasher is extremely noisy.
The unit is 2nd floor condo and is extremely annoying with guests ( children) running and jumping on the third floor.
The outside deck has to be cleaned to be usable.
5.0
Furnishings and amenities were top-notch for comfort. We felt so spoiled to have so much carefully provided for us, and made our July 4th week so memorable. Bernards Landing setting on the Lake made our stay a place we'll return to. Great communication with the owners too. Thank you!

The weather was amazing. The lake was absolutely beautiful.
This condo was very nice and clean. We loved the beautiful view of the lake and loved seeing the hummingbirds on the balcony. The deers and other wild life was so nice to see also.
Bernard’s landing is very impressive and beautifully kept. We definitely recommend it and will be back.
Thank you so much for the nice gift Kathy.
Sincerely,
The Wells Family

This condo is absolutely fantastic! Everything was immaculately clean when we arrived, and it was amply stocked with everything we needed for a great long-weekend getaway. The community is very quiet, well kept, and friendly, and there are plenty of places to fish, swim and relax, scattered around the grounds. I enjoyed the balcony in the mornings, it was a perfect spot for coffee, and in the evenings it was great for cocktails and watching the hummingbirds. The condo itself is spacious, beautifully decorated, and well thought out for guests to feel at home! I’ve rented from VRBO for many years and I have to say that this is one of the best rentals I’ve stayed in! The renovations are spot on. The owners clearly communicate, both prior to check in, and with expectations on checking out. I will absolutely be coming back!!
I highly recommend the D-Day memorial in Bedford as a must see.

If bringing a boat, be prepared to walk a short distance to where you tie off at.

We really enjoyed our stay and would rate everything five stars or more! We chose it for the lake views and proximity to the lake. The condo is really nice and set up as a home with more than enough comfortable, quality furniture to completely relax and unwind, and not just the lower end furniture you see in lots of rentals. The master bedroom is large, with a quality mattress. Everything was super-clean with attention to detail. The kitchen had everything necessary. Convenient location to all the amenities. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the evening with a glass of wine, with a view of the lake. Kathy, the host, was helpful, generous and gracious. We would definitely return! Highly recommend!

This condo has it all. We arrived to a very clean and well stocked place, where Kathy left a sweet card and a bag of king size chocolates for us. Yum! The kitchen is fully stocked, they have fans in each bedroom closet which we loved!
We rented a pontoon, we had dinner on site @ Napoli by the lake restaurant which was delicious. We played tennis and dipped in the pool.
Me and my husband took my parents here for their 45th wedding anniversary with no complaints. The beds were very comfortable too. My mom lost her earring and the owner notified us that it was found and promptly mailed it back to us. Who does that these days?
We will definitely be back. Thank you so much Kathy!

My family stayed here for a wedding! With tons of family scattered throughout Bernard's Landing, our location was my favorite! We walked right down to the beach and pool and found a new love for pickleball, we ended up playing every morning! The condo was great and exactly like it was pictured and had everything we needed. Great view!

This is a lovely condo. The furniture and beds were very comfortable and pleasing to the eye. In fact, I loved the bedding so much I tried to find a brand tag on the coverlet! We enjoyed the paintings by original artists. My mom actually said it was so nice she worried about messing it up. Kitchen was well stocked with a variety of dishes, basic spices and other such items. Lots of local information but could use a clean up of out of date items. Would definitely recommend to others.

Finally able to visit Smith Mountain Lake after a postponement of 2 years due to Covid. And the wait was well worth it ! From start to finish, Kathy was an amazing host, and went out of her way to help us, including providing a teapot and kettle for us tea-drinking Brits . The condo was really comfortable, and with lots of extras. It had amazing lake views, and we saw lots of birds, a deer (and the neighbourhood rabbit) from the windows. We also enjoyed the rec centre and the pickle ball courts to ourselves. Overall, we had a relaxing break, in a luxurious condo in a pristine and peaceful location. We can’t wait to return. Thank you Kathy for your hospitality, kindness and warm welcome.

We loved Bernard's Landing for our "mom's get-away!" We enjoyed the property (walks, sitting by the lake, Napoli's restaurant) and our condo was absolutely terrific. The lay out was perfect for 4 friends for two nights. The owners made everything very easy and provided us with all the information/details we could have needed during our stay. Highly recommend this condo!
