Huddleston, Virginia
This home was built in 2007. It is 4000 square feet, on more than .75 acres. The master bedroom is on the main floor with a king-size bed, flat screen TV and french doors that lead to a huge lakeside covered deck. The master bath has a 5-foot by 5-foot shower with 2 shower heads, a Jacuzzi bathtub and a double sink vanity. The other 2 bedrooms are on the second floor and each has their own private bathroom. There is also a private sun deck on the second floor. The main floor has an open design with a huge living room/ dining room off of the fully equipped kitchen including a full size fridge, range/oven, dishwasher, microwave and a breakfast bar. There is also a blender, crock pot, toaster, and coffee maker. The kitchen is located next to the huge lakeside deck and has a large stainless steel grill and outdoor seating for dining or relaxing with a cold drink.
There is a wood constructed walkway that leads to the covered boat dock with electricity, lights, storage, and a huge sun deck/ party deck on top.
Gillum's Getaway is a beautiful home and property that accommodated our family nicely. It is one of the few homes that includes bed linens and towels which were very nice. The home has everything you will need for complete comfort. The dock and deck are very nice and were thoroughly enjoyed. Any minor issues were addressed quickly. My family highly recommends Gillum's Getaway as your home away from home. We look forward to staying there again in the near future. Thanks Don and Jim!
This was our family's second time staying at this home. Everything was great, and we're ready to go again!
The home is described accurately and is beautiful. The layout is perfect for families or couples. Everyone has their own space. The views from the dock are stunning. Beautiful area on Smith Mountain Lake. We will definitely come back and stay at this home.
What a pleasant surprise! The photos of the home look beautiful, and the house was in fact very lovely and spacious. It was very well equipped and comfortable (especially the large sofa in the great room!) We came down for Easter, before the summer season, and we were very impressed with the beautiful cove and the peaceful setting. We enjoyed canoeing around the cove and the incredible sky full of stars at night.
We enjoyed our stay at this home even if we had to cut our stay short because of the weather and leave a day earlier than we planned. The home is very spacious and beautiful and has everything you could want during your stay. The view is very nice and only wish we could have taken advantage of the dock but it was too cold during our stay to be out for too long. We did have a problem with the heat when we arrived but Don took care of it as quick as he could. We also enjoyed meeting Jim and Peaches who were very sweet. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and Don was very accommodating.
If you have an opportunity to visit Gillum’s Getaway, don’t hesitate, JUST DO IT! We visited in late December and had rainy weather for most of our stay, and still didn’t want to leave. It’s rare to find a home with 3 king sized beds and 3 full baths – that was a huge plus for us. It’s decorated very nicely, there’s plenty of seating in the living areas, and if you want to get away and read a book, there are places for that as well. With the two-tiered deck, we were able to sit outside and enjoy the view, even when it was raining. I don’t know much about Smith Mountain Lake, but they must keep an eye on the water levels because it didn’t appear that any of the docks in the cove were floating docks – it was beautiful. We rented a lake house in NC in September, and the lake was so low that the docks weren’t even in the water, making for a very depressing view. If I had one “complaint,” if you will, there is so much cabinet space in the kitchen that no one could remember where stuff was – HA! If you’re looking for a luxurious yet comfortable rental with all of the comforts of home, then Gillum’s Getaway is the perfect place! I just hope Don doesn’t retire before we have an opportunity to visit again. Thanks, Don!
By far, the prettiest home around the lake area. We had three families that stayed for Christmas time. Plently of room for everyone. The pictures do not give this home justice for how nice and spacious it truly is. The location of the home was perfect for our family as we all live in different states, and this was a halfway point for us. We could all see how awesome it would be to rent this home in the summertime and enjoy the lake. But even in the cold-ish winter, we truly enjoyed it. We recommend staying here and will stay again! Thank you again for opening up your home for our family.
What a wonderful place to stay. We went up to SML to see the leaves change and visit the State Park. The house was absolutely gorgeous and more then we needed or expected. The owner was very helpful and responded to any questions you may have. Thank you for allowing us the stay at your place. We will definitely come again next year for the changing of the colors. Mary
This home was extremely well kept and clean. There was more than enough room for us all. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer! We would definitely stay again.
My wife and I along with our two young kids and two other families had a wonderful Labor Day weekend at Gillum's Getaway! The home was incredible and met all of our needs. We enjoyed swimming in the quiet cove and using the kayaks that are provided. The biggest perk of this home is that Don (the owner) allows the renters to use the boat lift. This was a must have for us. We enjoyed fishing off the dock and soaking in the sun on the upper sun deck. We ate dinner outside every night under the large, covered porch. Don was very quick to respond to any questions we had prior to our stay. He also allowed us to check in a few hours early which gave us a full day out of it. I would definitely recommend this home to others (I already have) and we plan to stay here again next summer. Can't wait to go back! Thanks Don!
