Lake Cottage on Water at Smith Mountain Lake

Great location. Needs updates and some fixing but was good for a weekend getaway. Better than camping and all linens and towels provided. Would visit again.

It's listed as receiving upgrades, needing major repairs would be more accurate. Was it me it'd be a 'dozer job. The best I can say about the property is it was clean, quiet, didn't collapse and no critters got in. The screen door was more of an impediment, than a functional door. The door, had some stop gap sweep that kept it from opening fully. The blinds on the door looked like they'd been salvaged from a dumpster. The owner was very good at communicating information about his guest regulations and other matters relevant to the rental.

Owner was unique and thoughtful amenities followed that, also well Communicated concerns about some aesthetics that ended up better than we anticipated. Rules for entrance and exiting were pretty intense. A friendlier tone would have been more welcoming since owner we found was conscientious.

We really enjoyed the three nights we spent at this property. We initially ran into some issues with VRBO, but the host, John, was very kind and accommodating. Updated interior photos of the cottage would serve to benefit the listing. I'd say the current photos do not show the full scope of the space or amenities. A large window in the main room provides gorgeous views of Smith Mountain Lake, accompanied by tall ceilings in the room. There is also a coffee maker in the kitchen, which was definitely a plus for us that wasn't in the description!

Rustic work in progress place was very clean fishing was good host was very helpful would stay again

The description of the property is very accurate. It was great for a spur of the moment get away weekend. Close to a lot of attractions. We would stay there again.

We had a wonderful time. Just what we were looking for. Would love to book again soon. Very clean and check in was a breeze.

Clean and nice set on deck most of the time looking at water and wildlife. Had a good time with my wonderful wife. Would definitely recommend this property.

It was perfect for us. My 11 year old son and I went for a weekend trip for his birthday. The house has everything you could need for cooking and cleaning.

Very nice

Very clean. Quiet area. Had amenities we needed. Great view of the lake. A/C worked fine. Screen door and blinds needs replacing. No TV instructions. No lawn chairs-bring your own. Ad says yard is unstable-TRUE. Dock is uneven, but Somewhat useable. Old home, but functional. View from my inner tube on the water- priceless!

It was exactly what listing and John (owner) descibed. My boys and myself really enjoyed our stay. The cabin and outdoor area were very clean. The kitchen was well stocked. Our favorite places were the back porch and dock area. It's located in a very quiet cove. Perfect place to stay.

It was a cute little place. Nice & relaxing. The owner John was very nice, we will definitely book this place again!!
