About this house rental

Nestled in Smith Mountain Lake, this lovely house for £879 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Welcome to Heron Point Heron Point was designed from the ground up to be the best vacation rental on Smith Mountain Lake in terms of luxury, entertainment and architectural beauty. With a timber frame structure created by the artisans of Floyd, VA and carpentry by the German Baptist craftsmen of Rocky Mount, this home is destined to be a Smith Mountain Lake landmark. Heron Point is a rare flat, three acre peninsula with a timber frame lodge home in a park-like setting and commands sweeping 180+ degree water views. Standing on the front deck, you won't be able to see where the water ends on either side. The shoreline is over 600 feet long and faces west so be prepared for some amazing sunsets over the lake. The house was built for large groups and boasts several large seating areas where everyone can congregate and socialize, including the great room, front deck, home theater and dock. New for 2023 - New landscaping across property - Each bedroom now has a Roku-enabled TV for a total of 12 TVs throughout the property Docks & Waterfront Of course, it wouldn't be a perfect lake vacation without great waterfront amenities. The property has two docks, one main dock and one pier at opposite sides of the peninsula. The main dock is where the action is, with a floater attached to a larger fixed portion along with plenty of seating and table space for your group. It also features a roll-up bar area for entertaining, with a full-sized 14.3 cu ft top freezer fridge inside as well as several GFCI electrical outlets for charging devices (or maybe hooking up a drink blender). Ceiling fans are provided to keep you cool as you relax and enjoy the waterside views. The floater provides an awesome swimming platform and with built-in bumpers on two sides is also a great place to tie up water craft. Three canoes and four kayaks are provided for renter use. Although the house is on a peninsula, the main dock is located within a cove and protected from the direct flow of water traffic allowing for stress free swimming and floating. Directly alongside the main dock is a sandy beach area for the kids. Given its location off Craddock and Hatcher Creeks, expect clear water and access to some great marinas and waterfront restaurants. Nighttime Entertainment Because the sun must set at some point, we've included an unparalleled array of nighttime activities. The centerpiece is Heron Point Theater. This custom-built premium home theater boasts a 120-inch screen and three rows of tiered seating on luxury leather chairs. The two front rows feature ten powered reclining chairs with lighted cup holders and removable tray tables. The bar seating on the back row allows for more casual viewing, maybe while enjoying a tray of snacks. An assortment of over 60 Blu-ray movies is provided along with many streaming options. The premium sound system, DLP HD projector and customizable colored lighting will blow you away. Just outside of the theater is a snack bar with a wet sink, microwave, drink blender, dedicated 25 pound Whirlpool Gold ice maker, beverage/wine cooler and a Fisher Paykel drawer dishwasher. The Heron Point Game Room sports two TVs, each connected to a PlayStation 5 and XBox Series X, along with an exciting selection of video games. Also featured is a premium Foosball table, shuffleboard table and Mahogany/Slate pool table. In addition there is a video game cocktail table with classics such as Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders and over 1000 others. For music while you're playing, the room has an Alexa-enabled jukebox with color changing lights. Seating includes six bar stools and three bean bag chairs. So be prepared for fun! Sleeping Accommodations 5,000 square feet of living space is designed to maximize its usability and your comfort. The house has a sleeping capacity of 16 people and has numerous sleeping configurations depending on the makeup of your party. Two of the rooms can either be used as common areas by day and bedrooms by night (or common areas full time, your choice!). On the lower floor there are two bunk rooms with two twin over full bunk beds each (4 twin + 4 full total), perfect for the younger people in your group or if you just need sleeping space. The lower floor also has a corner suite with lake views from both sides and both a shower and Jacuzzi tub. The suite also has access to a private patio area with two Adirondack chairs. The main floor provides step free access from the driveway to both a king bedroom suite and queen Murphy bed room. These two rooms have direct access to a large luxury handicap accessible bathroom, including a curb free shower with grab bar and two roll under sinks. The bathroom also has a two person Jacuzzi tub looking out over the lake and has water jets, air jets and Chroma therapy lighting. The doors to the bathroom can be configured to allow for either the king bedroom or the Murphy bed room to be used as a suite or for the two to share the bathroom between them. The two suites on the upper level have queen beds positioned under and between two skylights. You can lie in bed and look up at the stars! These bedrooms also have amazing water views from the skylights and the other large windows. The upper level also has a central bedroom with three twin built-in beds. By use of a four pocket door set this room can be fully enclosed. While lounging in the loft beds the glass railings allow you to take in the views from the lake. One of the suite bathrooms can be shared with the loft bedroom if desired by leaving open the outer of the two doors to the suite bedroom. Throughout the home, hotel style bathrooms and luxury rain shower heads show that this is no ordinary rental accommodation. Other Features Yet another unique feature of this property is that it has its own boat ramp so no need to pay additional boat ramp fees! Please note that it is a gravel ramp with a gentle slope and if you need a more substantial boat ramp, there is a marina a 5 min drive away. Also, don't spoil the surprise for the kids but the house has a secret small playroom hidden behind a bookcase! We've been happy to receive many compliments on this unique feature.

The house is exactly as described and the owners/management have gone out of their way to ensure a good experience. Instructions for everything you need at the house are laid out clearly. All appliances and TVs work well and the kitchen is well stocked. Plenty of beds and bedrooms - as a party of 8 friends we could all stay in a separate space. The fire pit is excellent and it’s very nice to have the firewood provided. Views of the lake are beautiful, the game room is lots of fun, and the movie room makes for super enjoyable watching. Overall a great property and well worth a visit!

We had an amazing stay at Heron Point! The house is beautiful, spacious, and very well-appointed. We really appreciated all the little details that made our stay easier - instructions for everything, labels on all the cabinets - so we could just focus on enjoying SML! Additionally, the owner was responsive and communicative and made the whole process easy. We had a large group of 15 family members, and the layout of the house was perfect for everyone to be able to “escape” when needed but also had a beautiful kitchen and common area that made it easy to cook, eat, and visit with one another. The whole family also loved the theater room and we had lots of movie nights in the reclining chairs. We spent most of our time on the dock, which was fully stocked with everything we needed for swimming, reading, relaxing, and enjoying the beautiful views. My siblings and I grew up going to SML every summer, and this trip was the first time we’d all been back to the lake together in almost 20 years. We truly could not have asked for a better setting than Heron Point!

We have been staying at the Heron Point house each summer for one week for the last five years. The house literally gets better each year. The cleanliness is now in a 5 star category. the house and boat dock are well maintained and the landscaping has improved and is now at a 5 star level. We had a great time with our family there and we will definitely be coming back. There were no negative issues and the owner Rob is always willing to consider helpful comments like the addition of a hose on the dock. We highly recommend this house for a vacation on SML. .

We have been coming to the lake for over 30 years and LOVE SML! It is very much our favorite place on earth and second home. We always rent houses there and I have to say, Heron Point Lodge is THEE IDEAL home on the lake. Everything has been thought of and set up to best accommodate guests! THE layout of the home is perfect; it is well-equipped with kitchen tools, games and movies, living supplies, and minor toiletries. The theatre room was an added bonus, and the kids loved the secret room. The dock is where we spend most of our time and it is set up perfectly for a fun time with no worries! The fridge down there was a huge convenience! All around 20 stars!!!! Definitely coming back. Thank you, Rob. :)
