Pros: The house is spacious, clean, and newly renovated. There are a number of sitting rooms/decks from which to enjoy excellent views of the lake. The dock was well-maintained and easy for our group to use for boat parking. The host provided a range of life-jackets, floats, plenty of towels, etc. that made our time on the water more enjoyable. When issues came up the host was very attentive and quickly resolved them. Cons: The layout of the house is a little odd. There are two full bathrooms, but both are on the opposite side of the house from the bedrooms (other than the kids/bunkroom). This wasn't a dealbreaker for us, but not ideal. The kitchen was adequate, but lacked some convenience items (wine glasses, paper towels). We knew this coming in and were prepared, but the area is remote--only major grocery store is a 25 min. drive, so plan accordingly! Overall a nice stay, with just a few kinks that can be easily worked out.

This was my first trip to Smith Mountain Lake with my family and we were extremely pleased with our booking. The house was EXTREMELY clean and obviously updated recently with super comfortable furniture, and nice decor. The kitchen was nicely furnished with a large dining room table and ample seating… almost every room had a great view of the lake with lots of natural sunlight. The host is awesome and communication was above and beyond. Will definitely book this property again for our next visit.

This was an amazing stay! Our host Lisa was extremely tentative. Location was perfect because you have direct access to the water with your personal dock. It is very close to the neighbors but we didn’t really see them to interact with them so it was like having it all to ourselves. Both master bedrooms have a gorgeous view and balcony’s to wake up to. The kitchen is extremely spacious and well supplied (with an extra fridge and microwave downstairs). I will say this is for those that want seclusion away from the city and night life. There’s a marina 8 min down the road for boat rentals and a campground right across to get gas (Mitchell’s point). I will definitely be renting again if I stay at SML. Thank you again to our hosts!
