Enjoy the luxury of having an entire point on the lake to yourself!

Heron Point was designed from the ground up to be the best vacation rental on Smith Mountain Lake in terms of luxury, entertainment and architectural beauty. With a timber frame structure created by the artisans of Floyd, VA and carpentry by the German Baptist craftsmen of Rocky Mount, this home is destined to be a Smith Mountain Lake landmark.

Heron Point is a rare flat, three acre peninsula with a timber frame lodge home in a park-like setting and commands sweeping 180+ degree water views. Standing on the front deck, you won't be able to see where the water ends on either side. The shoreline is over 600 feet long and faces west so be prepared for some amazing sunsets over the lake. The house was built for large groups and boasts several large seating areas where everyone can congregate and socialize, including the great room, front deck, home theater and dock.

Docks & Waterfront

Of course, it wouldn't be a perfect lake vacation without great waterfront amenities. The dock has a floater attached to a larger fixed portion along with plenty of seating and table space for your group. It also features a roll-up bar area for entertaining, with a full-sized 14.3 cu ft top freezer fridge inside as well as several GFCI electrical outlets for charging devices (or maybe hooking up a drink blender). A 55 outdoor 4K TV let you stream your favorite shows at the dock! Ceiling fans are provided to keep you cool as you relax and enjoy the waterside views.

The floater provides an awesome swimming platform and with built-in bumpers on two sides is also a great place to tie up water craft. Three canoes and four kayaks are provided for renter use.

Although the house is on a peninsula, the main dock is located within a cove and protected from the direct flow of water traffic allowing for stress free swimming and floating. Directly alongside the main dock is a sandy beach area for the kids with access to the water via natural stone steps. Given its location off Craddock and Hatcher Creeks, expect clear water and access to some great marinas and waterfront restaurants.

Nighttime Entertainment

Because the sun must set at some point, we've included an unparalleled array of nighttime activities. The centerpiece is Heron Point Theater. This custom-built premium home theater boasts a 120-inch screen, 4K projector and three rows of tiered seating on luxury leather chairs. The two front rows feature ten powered reclining chairs with lighted cup holders and removable tray tables. The bar seating on the back row allows for more casual viewing, maybe while enjoying a tray of snacks. An assortment of over 60 Blu-ray movies is provided along with many streaming options. The premium sound system, 4K projector and customizable colored lighting will blow you away.

Just outside of the theater is a snack bar with a wet sink, microwave, drink blender, dedicated 25 pound Whirlpool Gold ice maker, beverage/wine cooler and a Fisher Paykel drawer dishwasher.

The Heron Point Game Room sports two TVs, each connected to a PlayStation 5 and XBox Series X, along with an exciting selection of video games. Also featured is a premium Foosball table, shuffleboard table and Mahogany/Slate pool table. In addition there is a video game cocktail table with classics such as Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders and over 1000 others. For music while you're playing, the room has an Alexa-enabled jukebox with color changing lights. Seating includes six bar stools and three bean bag chairs. So be prepared for fun!

Sleeping Accommodations

5,000 square feet of living space is designed to maximize its usability and your comfort. The house has a sleeping capacity of 16 people and has numerous sleeping configurations depending on the makeup of your party. Two of the rooms can either be used as common areas by day and bedrooms by night (or common areas full time, your choice!). On the lower floor there are two bunk rooms with two twin over full bunk beds each (4 twin + 4 full total), perfect for the younger people in your group or if you just need sleeping space. The lower floor also has a corner suite with lake views from both sides and both a shower and Jacuzzi tub. The suite also has access to a private patio area with two Adirondack chairs.

The main floor provides step free access from the driveway to both a king bedroom suite and queen Murphy bed room. These two rooms have direct access to a large luxury handicap accessible bathroom, including a curb free shower with grab bar and two roll under sinks. The bathroom also has a two person Jacuzzi tub looking out over the lake and has water jets, air jets and Chroma therapy lighting. The doors to the bathroom can be configured to allow for either the king bedroom or the Murphy bed room to be used as a suite or for the two to share the bathroom between them.

The two suites on the upper level have queen beds positioned under and between two skylights. You can lie in bed and look up at the stars! These bedrooms also have amazing water views from the skylights and the other large windows. The upper level also has a central bedroom with three twin built-in beds. By use of a four pocket door set this room can be fully enclosed. While lounging in the loft beds the glass railings allow you to take in the views from the lake. One of the suite bathrooms can be shared with the loft bedroom if desired by leaving open the outer of the two doors to the suite bedroom.

Throughout the home, hotel style bathrooms and luxury rain shower heads show that this is no ordinary rental accommodation.

Other Features

Yet another unique feature of this property is that it has its own boat ramp so no need to pay additional boat ramp fees! Please note that it is a gravel ramp with a gentle slope and if you need a more substantial boat ramp, there is a marina a 5 min drive away.

Also, don't spoil the surprise for the kids but the house has a secret small playroom hidden behind a bookcase! We've been happy to receive many compliments on this unique feature.

    We had a wonderful stay at Heron Point. It was January and I knew it would be cold, so having a hot tub, a game room and a theater were high on our list. Heron Point did not disappoint. With 8 adults and 7 children (ages 2-14) there was something for everyone. The home was spacious and clean, the theater, game room and hot tub were spectacular, and the host was easy to communicate with. We highly recommend!

    We could not have enjoyed our stay any more. Having the entire family together for the first time in 6 years in such a beautiful house was unbelievable! All of the amenities were wonderful and al ten of us had more than enough to keep us entertained. If everyone's schedule can be coordinated, we have already talked about doing this again next year at Heron Point. Thank you for everything!!! Only comments I got from the group regarding wishes were more dish towels and bath towels.Charlie

    This is the best house I’ve stayed at in years of staying at lake houses. Everything worked and everything was very nice and everything was clearly labeled with instructions. By way of example, they have a movie theater with a large projection screen probably 100 inches with instructions on exactly how to make it work. It was just a little things like that all over the house that made it so nice. Even the showers had instructions. Can’t say I’ve ever been anywhere where not only everything worked, but everything was also explained. It’s a giant house with comfortable furniture and it’s well decorated right on the lake. Cannot be happier and will definitely be staying here again!

    Our family (3 sons, 3 daughters-in-law and 6 grandchildren) do an annual summer vacation. We have been to the Outerbanks, Deep Creek Lake, Panama, Rehoboth Beach, the Thousand Islands, and some others. Everyone (even the 3 year olds) told us that this house at SML was the best vacation venue yet! - and I agree. Plenty of room for everybody, a game room, a huge movie theater room with state of the art video and sound systems.Easy access dock - we rented a TriToon boat from Mitchell's Marina & Restaurant, a 5 minute drive from the house. Only one disappointment - Thery have a strict no pet policy, which I get. I wouldn't want big, shedding dogs coming out of the lake and into my house (the fam has a total of 5 of those types of dogs and they were all boarded). But my wife and I have a 10 pound, non-shedding, hypo-allergenic Maltese - basically a lap dog. The no pets policy has no flexibility - that was our only dissappointment. And for those who have never been to SML before, there is maybe 60 miles of winding roads through a rural area of farmland and gravel roads to get to house - everyone was wondering where we were headed and concerned about what we would find when we got to our destination. All totally wasted worry - once you arrive and take a look around, you will realize it was well worth the trip.

    Heron Point couldn't have been more perfect. From the open kitchen and living area to the large deck and entertainment space downstairs, this house had it all. Even with 16 of us, it didn't feel cramped at all. Large back yard which allowed us to sprawl out and enjoy the weather. Having a private boat ramp was a plus and keeping our boat tied up at the dock worked wonderfully. We are sure to come back next year for our annual getaway!

    Thankful to get the opportunity to stay at this magnificent home for 3 perfect nights. 15 people stayed, we never once felt crammed or crowded. There are so many areas to congregate. We cooked every meal there, used both grills. Everything is so clearly marked and easy to locate in the kitchen. We had a non stop fire pit, have never stayed at a place that provided so much wood! The hot tub was wonderful, super clean. The furniture was all very solid and sturdy, the beds comfortable. Now I want a rainshower head, what a nice touch. =) We watched some NFL in the theater room, played pool, jammed to the Alexa driven juke box, played shuffleboard and video games.....there is just truly nothing these owners haven't thought of. The grounds are stunning, so well maintained and landscaped. The dock got a lot of use, but seriously, 7 grown men couldn't catch a SINGLE FISH! LOL This truly was the best location, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or return. Something else to note--usually guests are asked to do quite a bit of cleaning prior to check out at previous homes we have stayed. We felt odd not being asked to even strip the beds! Mr Rob was SUPER responsive, and very kind to let us in earlier and stay a little later since there weren't guests arriving just before or after us. The peaceful location was perfection for our group of friends, and we would love to see it in every season. Thank you again for the wonderful memories!

    This is the third time we’ve stayed here in 4 years as it’s become a great spot for our friends across the country to hang out together and reconnect! The house has everything you need to host for a fun week. We had 18 people and the house did not feel small. We’ve previously stayed during the fall and this time we came in the summer and it was the perfect season to take advantage of all the kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards that come with the property. Used the fire pit in the evenings and the game and theatre room multiple times. Can’t wait till we come back!

    This was the sixth year in a row that we stayed at Heron Point House. Obviously, we are delighted with the house itself, its location and immediate access to the lake and other water sports. The Owner Rob Saunders has always been responsive to any issues which might arise. For example, one of the basins was clogged and Rob had a plumber to the house to resolve the problems within 2 hours. We just had a five-star weeklong visit to Heron Point with the quality of the house, its furnishing, improved landscape, lots of canoes and kayaks with a well-furnished dock to meet all of our demands and desires.
