Family Fun and Relaxation: Your Dream Lakehouse Vacation!

This is our third time renting this house and we still love everything about it. Spacious rooms, hot tub, and a dock we practically live on during the day. Our grandkids have learned the love of fishing, kayaking, and boating here and of course the memories. I’m sure a fourth visit will be in our future.

Great house with lots of room for everyone. Pool and ping pong table a real plus!!

Fantastic week, perfect balance of fun for 3 teenage boys and relaxing for my wife and I. Beautiful views and a quiet cove.

Spacious and clean house. Hot tub was big and fun. Sock was great

The house has many amenities for easy living. It is close to the Food Lion shopping center and the Route 122 bridge. Unfortunately, the air hockey game was broken. Otherwise, the house and grounds are comfortable and scenic. (Taking the trash bags to the dump is a chore, though, I do understand why it has to be done.) A lot bigger than the pictures indicate.

The house was beautiful and very clean the kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed to enjoy a week at the lake. The grandkids enjoyed the pool table and the ping pong table unfortunately the air hockey game didn’t work. The only negative is the campers across the cove were very loud not the peaceful cove I was expecting. Chuck the picture on line show a view of the water from the house unfortunately the tree and bushes are overgrown to the point it’s very difficult to see the lake from the house. Overall we have a wonderful time and looking forward to returning in the future.

Pros - This home is located in a great spot with a quiet cove and is only about 300 yards across from Jake's Place restaurant. Short, 15 min drive to Bridgewater plaza by car. Easy in and out location to the main channel if you have a boat. Really liked having 2 kings for 2 adult couples, a bunk room which had amazingly comfortable mattresses, and a basement room ideal for teens. Lots of fun was had with the pool table, ping pong, kayaks, canoe, and fishing off the dock. The hot tub was great for relaxing in the evenings. Bathrooms were clean. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Cons - A lot of SML properties don't provide linens or towels but this was the first time out of more than 20 rentals that I chose to bring our own. Won't do that again as it was a pain. Use the linen service instead. Listed as no pets allowed which was a deciding factor in booking over another property, but we swept the kitchen floor and made a quite a pile of black dog hair. A quick clean of the downstairs created an even larger pile. The two teens who slept in the basement were so bad after 2 nights we needed an urgent care visit and steroids were prescribed. The 2 pre-teens who slept upstairs were fine. Two of the 4 adults struggled a bit as well. So we spent most of our time outside after the first few days which was fine. Overall, it's a great property.

This home is beautiful and in a peaceful cove. We loved the lay out of the house and there is lots of rooms for a large family. Jake's restaurant is in the same cove and they are great. The only negative would be that the owners need to update the pictures because those are from 2009 and there is no lake view from the deck.

Our extended family had a great week at smith mountain lake! The house had plenty of room to spread out, downstairs ping pong, air hockey, and pool table were a hit for kids and adults. Easy pontoon boat rental next to Jake’s is reachable by owner-provided canoe or kayak, very convenient!

GREAT PLACE
