We were a party of 12 adults each having different cleanliness requirements and expectations. Some of us have higher standards for cleanliness than others but all of us believed that this house needed some TLC , minor maintenance repairs, and an owner who demanded more of her cleaning crew or was more aware of the less than stellar cleaning job currently being done. Having said that, the house is a great home with big rooms for gathering and beautiful views from the home and from the outside decks and docks. A very peaceful environment. The rental binder was never found during our stay and so we had to contact the owner many times for answers to questions that would typically be in that binder. She did respond eventually but not as fast as my past experiences would indicate.

we loved the large house, amenities, swimming off the dock and the paddle boats! We also loved having the second fridge downstairs for snacks/ drinks. We would absolutely book this house for another stay!

Yes, it did have seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. It was listed as a "luxury property". Smith Mountain Lake was wonderful. The neighborhood was great. However, the house had mice and mouse poop everywhere (not evident until Tuesday as the mice got bolder). Ants trailing in and out of the fireplace. The property was soooo run down and poorly maintained. The bedding (especially pillows) old, flat and frankly worn out. The mattresses need to be replaced (putting a 1 inch foam pad on top is not the solution). The decks and particularly the dock needs to be replaced/repaired. The property may have been renewed and refreshed initially, however due to heavy use it requires more than a once in a lifetime investment. Everything is done as cheaply as possible. Even the hand soap in the bathrooms is watered down. The decor is terrible (old air freshener is not decoration!). No furniture matches. Property is in desperate need of power washing, window washing, spider web removal and repairs. VRBO this is NOT a "luxury" property and frankly is hurting your reputation. Total fee for ONE WEEK is over $10,000 and vastly overpriced for what you get!

We had our family and extended family here for a week. The house and location were great. There were a few small issues, however none of those would cause us to not stay again in the future or not recommend it for others to stay. We had people from 55 to 2 and all had a good time.

We had our family of 12 there for a week. The house was very spacious (lots of areas to hang out) and very well equipped. The dock was huge and the outdoor amenities (slide, diving board, swing set) were great for the kids. We had a wonderful time. Thanks!

We had a group of 13 ranging in age from 2 mos to 62 years. Everyone enjoyed the stay. There was plenty of room for the kids to play and even though we stayed in the winter, there was plenty to do and no one got bored. We are hoping to return in the summer to take full advantage of all this property has to offer.

The property was great! Very relaxing and homey. The bedrooms were private in their own way - being down 2 different halls on the main floor and then the ones in the basement. Plenty of space for various vehicles. The view was amazing!

Great property for our annual couples gathering. Great layout - lots of space. Ample parking. Responsive Host. What's not to like? We like trying different geographic areas - but we would definitely stay here again if going to SML.

Great home for a large group
Overall the place was great and had everything we needed. The house is showing some wear and tear, but that is too be expected of a rental to that caters to large groups. The game room kept everyone entertained, the dock was amazing and there was ample space for everyone to hang out. One thing I wish the home had was more cutlery, seemed we had to wash forks and knives after every meal. Outside of that we had what was needed for a great stay.

Beautiful Lake Rental
Often times adjustments are required if property sleeps 20, but don't know too many that enjoy sleeping on a pull out for a week. This beautiful home rental for our family get-together, had beds for everyone and plenty of living space for 20 ranging in age from 70's to 8 months. we had a great time but much too short. Hope to be back in 2023.

Overall we had a wonderful stay here, and would definitely come back. The dock was so big and had plenty of space for our group of 15!
Inside, there was plenty of space for everyone with the exception of the living room - for such a large house I would expect to have more seating options. The living room was large, but could only comfortably seat 5-6 adults.
We had a great trip, the lake is beautiful. The cove where the house sits is peaceful and not too busy. Our kids loved the slide and diving board.

The property was wonderful. Clean, updated and very well equipped. Time on the lake was fantastic in a great location on the large dock. Highly recommended and we hope to return there.

The house was spotlessly clean and the location on a relatively quiet cove was great. The dock with its large covered area was our home base most days. We recommend that you bring camp chairs if you’re going to hang out on the dock since the only seating are 2 picnic tables (which we definitely used). The 11 of us ranged in ages from 1 to 83, and access to the dock area was easy for everyone. The kids loved the slide and we successfully fished from the dock and the canoe provided. The kitchen is relatively well stocked, and has top-notch appliances, but as with all rentals, you should bring your own knives if you’re going to seriously prep food. Also, the silverware is inadequate; only 12 forks for a house that sleeps 18. Further, there are no large serving bowls and only 1 large platter, which made it awkward to feed a crowd. Final nit: there is no interior space on the main level (where the kitchen is) to store garbage between trips to the dump. But these points are minor. Overall, we loved the house and it’s convenient location. The White House store is only 5 minutes away and had most things we needed (as we had brought in most of our own food), including awesome fried chicken. We all agreed that a return trip is in order. Thanks, Ashley, for sharing your home with us!
