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!
It was a very memorable experience.
Very comfortable relaxing house with very nice living rooms. Unforgettable staying even only two nights.
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.
Great home to stay in. Lots of space for our large family to enjoy each other and have quiet time.
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.
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.
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.
