Best Dam View at Smith Mountain Lake!!!

We had a wonderful time at Best Dam View! Beautiful property with outstanding view! Clean and spacious!

The house was beautiful, the view magnificent.

We had an amazing stay at this property for our summer vacation. It’s nice to find a home that is updated and clean in this neighborhood! The upstairs are with the kitchen, dining room, and tv are leading out to the porch was the best place to hang out with everyone. This view of the mountain and waterfront is one of the best on the lake! Definitely returning here! We really enjoyed our time on the dock and the access to the paddle board, kayaks, and canoe was really nice. We rented a boat and had plenty of space to tie it to the dock. We look forward to returning!

The view is beautiful and the host provided a paddle board, 2 kayaks and a canoe that allowed us to enjoy the lake very much. However the communication with the host was very difficult. I had send her a message to ask about life jackets 3 weeks prior to our check in and did not get a response until reached out to VRBO the day before our arrival and was told that we need them for heavy adults and kids. Once arrived at the property, we could not find the life jackets and after multiple attempts to reach the host ,was told that we might be able to find 1 in the basement. The access to the dock does not have any railing at the end and if you have members in your party who have problems with their joints and walking they will not be able to go down the dock. Their upper level deck has an uneven surface that increase the risk of falls. Although bathrooms and floors and bedroom were clean but there were spider webs on the corners as well as a half fallen vent cover . Over all the location of the property compensated for most of its falls but I wish the host would be more responsive and attentive to the details.

Beautiful kitchen that is nicely stocked! Guests just should be aware before renting the stove is induction. The pots provided work, but if you are bringing your own special pot be aware!! The view from the main living area and porch are worth every penny of the stay! View from the dock is just as amazing. We enjoyed the top area of the dock which seems to be a new addition!

We enjoyed our stay but it was pricey considering the need for thorough cleaning and Kitchen appliances need to be replaced. Electric skillet, Keurig coffee maker, stove did not work, drawers need to be organized.

I will start by saying I would absolutely stay here again. Amazing views and a perfect home for a family gathering. I do have a few areas where we were concerned. They should tell us in advance that no shampoo or body wash is available. They should make the beds before we arrive. We all realized after a fun night that when we were going to bed, all the sheets were on the bed and we had to make them. Overall cleanliness was sub par. Felt like no one had been in the house for a few weeks and there were spider webs everywhere. Many light bulbs were out on the bathrooms.

Loved the fabulous decks the overlooks the lake Lots of chairs to sit on and enjoy the view. Dock was good with paddle board, kayaks, and canoe. 4 adult life jackets available for use. Inside: Lots of room for family to spread out. We loved the huge dining room table and chairs with backs on them to enjoy the food and the view. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking bowls, pots, and gadgets and all appliances worked well. Having several living areas, game room, sunroom and extra table for puzzles and games allowed everyone to have enough room for various activities. Beds were comfy and bathrooms were clean. Just a few additional details: Driveway is steep. If you have mobility issues, the driveway may be difficult to walk up to the street. There is room for 4 cars to park at the bottom of the driveway- next to the house. Also, Trash pickup service was not available We had to take our trash to the dump which was 10 minutes (one way) from the house. Also, I had to spend the first hour after arrival removing the leaves from the walkways, stairs and decks to prevent guests from slipping on the leaves. It was disappointing that the rental agency hadn’t done this prior to our arrival. It gave a poor first impression. Overall the house is a fantastic rental and all of our family members were very happy with our week on the lake. I highly recommend this property for any family reunion

Lovely views, quiet location.

Very nice! Would book again.

Beautiful location, kitchen & views were amazing. The dock was great for the boat we rented. We spent almost the entire time on the dock fishing or jumping, or floating on the rafts provided. The paddle boards & canoes were awesome!

We loved the location on the lake and really enjoyed the decks and the dock area. Lots of water toys that were fun. The house layout worked well for us. We needed a few kitchen items that weren’t there. The house felt a bit tired…loose door knobs, window blinds, outdated master bath, leaking shower in second main floor bathroom and had some struggles with main floor tv. Still the house worked for us. Nice big kitchen with lots of storage.

Amazing stay, not one issue. Our family had a wonderful stay here!
