Beautiful Lakeview with Plenty of Activities
Posted Nov. 18, 2024 on HomeAwayI came here with my partner and friends to celebrate my birthday. The host, Ed, was accommodating and responded to messages promptly. We loved being right on the lake and enjoyed the firepit in the backyard. The house had plenty of games (card games, board games, video games). Ed told us about a nearby farm called Spring Valley, where we tried horseback riding. I highly recommend visiting that farm (over 600 acres and great pricing)!
The only thing that was offputting about our stay was the bath towels. They were white, but they all had some kind of pink stain on them. And the batteries in the TV remote were dead (thankfully, we had brought spares).
Other than that, it was a lovely stay.

SML vacation
Posted Aug. 10, 2024 on HomeAwayWe thoroughly enjoyed this property.. very private and peaceful nature sounds.. the house was clean and adorable.. we cooked most of our meals and the fully stocked kitchen made it so nice! There was a lot of steps to get to the dock but honestly we loved it.. made for some great exercise while being on vacation. Would definitely book this place again!

Wondrous Workout
Posted Aug. 1, 2024 on HomeAwayBetween kayaking the cove, swimming and the 128 stairs from the house to the lake we all definitely got a great workout!! The house was clean and comfortable but the neighborhood getting to the house was not well kept at all. Having to haul off our own trash was not a desirable feature but overall a good stay.

Fun family Vacay!!!
Posted Jun. 30, 2024 on HomeAwayMy family and I had a great time here this week! The steps are NO JOKE but the views and water are fantastic!! It was great to have a gas grill and a campfire area on top of a well stocked kitchen. Everything was clean and well stocked. The AC is good and cold!! House is in a beautiful quiet and peaceful area. The best was watching the sunset on the first overlook deck, magical❤️

Lake is so relaxing
Posted May 6, 2024 on HomeAwayThere are a lot of steps to take to the lake but once you get there it’s worth it!
Place was very comfortable.
The dump to take the trash is a lil bit away , 20 min so make sure you plan on that.
We rented a boat from the Marina it was reasonable for the day and we had a beautiful day.
It’s quiet and peaceful

Family Getaway
Posted Sep. 10, 2023 on HomeAwayCheck 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!

Lovely get-away spot
Posted Sep. 5, 2023 on HomeAwayCozy, 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.
