Welcome to Stillwater Retreat—your waterfront lakefront escape on a quiet cove at Smith Mountain Lake.

Designed for easy, laid-back lake days, this pet-friendly home offers direct water access, a private dock, and space to relax both inside and out. Whether you’re kayaking in the morning, spending the afternoon on the water, or unwinding by the fire pit in the evening, everything here is set up for a simple, memorable stay.

Outdoor living is a highlight:
Enjoy a spacious deck with lake views, a private dock for swimming, fishing, or tying up your boat, and a custom-built lakeside fire pit area with Adirondack seating—perfect for s’mores and evenings under the stars. Guests also have access to 2 kayaks and a paddleboard to explore the quiet cove.

Inside, there’s room for everyone to unwind:
The main level features a comfortable living area with lake views and a gas fireplace, along with a fully equipped kitchen and dining space. Downstairs, the game room includes a pool table, foosball, darts, board games, and a second TV lounge—ideal for families and groups to spread out.

Sleeping areas are designed for comfort, and a dedicated workspace in the master bedroom includes a desk, chair, and power/USB access for remote work.

Location makes it easy:
Walk to a nearby gas station and Vinny’s Italian Restaurant, or take a short drive to Bridgewater Plaza for lakeside dining, shops, mini golf, arcade, and boat rentals. Grocery stores like Kroger and Food Lion are just minutes away.

Good to know before booking:
- The driveway and path to the dock are steep (typical for lakefront homes). Steps have been improved with wider treads and a sturdy handrail on the main section.
- The downstairs bathroom includes a smaller, cabin-style shower.
- This is a classic lake home—clean, comfortable, and continuously improving (not ultra-modern).

Property notes:
Two outdoor cameras are installed (driveway and lake-facing) for property monitoring and are not active during guest stays.

Dock & Water Safety Notice:
This is a lakefront property with a private dock. Use of the dock, lake, swimming, boating, and any water activities is entirely at your own risk.
Children and pets must be supervised at all times near the water. No diving from the dock. Guests assume full responsibility for their safety and the safety of all members of their party.

    We had such a peaceful, relaxing visit at the lake. The property was perfect! We loved relaxing on the dock, even our pups. The 2 kayaks were great as well and we enjoyed kayaking around the peaceful cove. House was well stocked, super clean and cozy. All communication with Lydia was fast and helpful. We would definitely rent the same house again!

    The house was very clean and comfortable. We loved the game room downstairs! Location was convenient but i did have to drive (8 minutes) to the park to run and walk my dog. Even with that, i would definitely stay here again!!

    We were two couples on holiday (no children) and found that the house is in a great location for visiting the local area, over the road are a couple of diners and a quick drive over the bridge you have the marina with more eateries, coffee shop, ice cream etc. We hired a boat for one day and found this to be the best end of the Lake to stay at for food choice. I suspect we were at the end of the season though and lots of things seemed to be closing. The house was well equipped, a little tired in places but it was clean. There is a main bedroom with an ensuite and laundry off that which was slightly odd as we needed to go through our friends bedroom or bathroom to get to the washing machine. Downstairs you will find 2 more bedrooms and a bathroom, as well as the games room with snooker table and dart board. Sadly the deck and garden area were a little uncared for, there were childrens swim things dumped on the deck, we weren't sure whether they were the owners or the previous tenants, we didn't look at the bbq but the cover was old and ripped, someone had emptied ash from the firepit all over the ground on the seating area halfway down the steps, there were weeds everywhere and the grass needed to be cut. The steps down to the dock were ok although a few steps were a little dangerously angled, but the jump down from the last step was a little challenging as well as the necessary clamber to get back off the deck. We enjoyed our stay but a little TLC is necessary.

    We recently stayed at a rental house on Smith Mountain Lake, and overall, we had a lovely time! The interior of the home was beautifully decorated—cozy, cute, and comfortable. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, making for great nights of sleep, and the amenities provided were fantastic, making our stay easy and enjoyable. That said, the outdoor experience wasn’t quite as ideal. The house sits on a quieter “finger” of the lake, which meant some mud and debris near the dock, and the high grass on the property and next door brought quite a few bugs, making it tough to spend time outside. The house is also near a busy road, which we didn’t mind too much but could be a factor for others. Overall, if you’re looking for a comfortable place to relax inside and enjoy Smith Mountain Lake’s charm from a distance, this rental might be a great fit! Just plan on spending more time indoors than out.

    We had an amazing time on our honeymoon. The house was super clean & had more than we expected as far as fully equipped kitchen. Our 2 labs loved laying in the sun and were worn out everyday from swimming. It’s a perfect quiet cove to relax or fish. It may take a few days to recoup from going up and down all the steps. The only suggestions we have would be a little weed killer around the steps/pathway & some lighting on the dock. Even some small solar lights would make a big difference. This was a GREAT rental and we can’t wait to get back.
