Happy Oars SML~Family Lake House in a Quiet cove~with Dock, Kayaks and Views!

Beautiful house and property with lots of space. Well maintained. Owner was very responsive.

We had a wonderful time at Happy Oars! This house was plenty big enough for the 10 of us (6 adults and 4 kids). We loved hanging out on the dock, swimming, fishing, and using the rope swing. The water was amazing! Crystal clear and 82 degrees. We also enjoyed grilling out on the deck and taking in the awesome views of the lake from both the deck and the family room. The beds were all super comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Angie was very responsive and flexible with our arrival and departure times which made the trip even more fun

We had a great stay at Happy Oars. Our group of 12 (3 families) fit great in the space. Plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Game room was a huge plus for the kids. We loved floating in the deep cove, swinging from the rope swing, and hanging in the swings on the dock. Kids alap loved the splash mat on the lake. Overall great place to stay!

Great place, good water access, very comfortable. Cleanliness was not great as the cleaning crew arrived 30 minutes prior to our check-in. Deck was dirty, appliances were dirty but after a quick cleaning we had a great stay.

This property was perfect for our extended family group...lovely house with large kitchen (so could accommodate lots of helpers), big dining room table (so we could eat together), and big living room with plenty of chairs and a beautiful view of the lake! The dock was nice and shady during hot parts of the day, and great for fishing...rooms nicely appointed - we all loved it and had a wonderful vacation!

We had an amazing stay at this lake house with family and friends! The home was beautiful, clean, and comfortably fit our group. The view of the lake was stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset. We loved spending our days on the water — swimming, kayaking, and using the rope swing were big hits with the kids. The private dock was perfect for relaxing and launching water activities. It was also super convenient being just a short drive (12 minutes) from the general store for any last-minute needs. Can’t recommend this place enough — we made unforgettable memories and will definitely be back!

House was great! Well stocked and clean. We had a small issue at check in. Owners were very responsive and went above and beyond to make sure we were set up for the week. The cove was awesome for paddle boarding, kayaking and floating in tubes (we brought from home). A great stay

Great location at Smith Mountain Lake. Loved the closest marina (Mitchell’s). House had plenty of room and kids loved the games in the basement and the canoes and paddle boards.

The home was super clean and full of nice amenities. We had 14 people and had plenty of space to spread out but also areas where we could all be together. This was a family vacation for me and my two sons and their families. The hosts were great with communication.

Incredibly appointed for a comfortable stay for a larger group. Plenty of space for families to spread out and have their own space. Yet wonderful places to gather. The pool table and ping pong table provided great evenings of talking and laughing. It’s a great house nestled in trees. Extremely tidy and well decorated. Check in was effortless as well as check out. A great stay! Thank you.
