Cute bungalow by the lake, stocked with everything you need, wonderfully quiet neighborhood ( at Thanksgiving).

Check in was super easy. Property was clean and extremely well appointed. The view of the lake is amazing. The cove is well off the main channel which makes it excellent for family swim time down by the dock. But the main channel is easily accessible by jet ski or boat. A truly great place to stay!

Cozy, clean and well-stocked house sitting above a small cove on Smith Mountain Lake. It is quite out of the way of any conveniences so come well prepared as the closest stores and restaurants are about 20 minutes away. We enjoyed the amenities which included many outdoor sitting areas, kayaks, games, puzzles, plenty of coffee and much of what you would have in your own home. Ed explained clearly these amenities and expectations for check out. Our only complaint is that we were expected to haul off our trash to the local dump after paying a cleaning fee. As a former, short-term rental host, I understand requiring a cleaning fee, but asking your guests to haul trash to the dump after paying that fee is excessive.

We loved our stay and time on Smith Mountain Lake! My daughter booked her wedding at Sierra Vista and we had a vendor tasting this weekend and our stay at Ed was perfect!

The homeowner is the most responsive VRBO host I have ever rented from. The home itself seems very new. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Access to kayaks was also quite nice. We enjoyed the amazing views from the back deck and dock. The stairs are a good workout for sure, but we got used to them.

This is a nice property on Smith Mountain Island Lake. The home was very clean and well-stocked with essentials we do not typically find with rentals (e.g., toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning products, bubble bath, Qtips, flossers, body wash, shampoo/conditioner). Kitchen was well-stocked as well with great pots and pans and other items (e.g., spices, oil). Throughout the cabin, there were other nice touches such as board games, word searches, blankets, recommendations of places to eat and shop, etc. We enjoyed the fire pit and really liked that there was a large stack of smaller sticks and wood to use. There are several spots to enjoy the beautiful view of the lake - a side area off the house with a grill and two chairs, a large deck off the house with a table for dining and high top chairs, platform as you walk down stairs to lake, and covered area near lake dock with a high top table. Some observations - $200 for the cleaning fee seems too high. The stairs down to the lake are rather extensive (lots of steps). It was okay with us but may not work well for all. The housing in the neighborhood is mixed and is off a gravel road. This property was one of the nicer ones.
