Come and enjoy all Smith Mountain Lake has to offer at our newly renovated home! Every square foot as been completely redone within the last five years. The basement has been gutted and redone just this last winter!

Gibbs retreat is centrally located in the beautiful quiet wooded subdivision of Beechwood West at Smith Mt. Lake, making it close to shopping and activities. By water it is located at R 31 on the main channel of the Roanoke arm of the lake, less than 5 minutes by water toHales Ford Bridge, Bridgewater Plaza and more. In just a 15 minutes drive you can access the main shopping areas of the lake, restaurants, gift shops, children activities, putt-putt golf. We are only 45 minutes from Roanoke and 55 to Lynchburg; making it easy to spend the day in either place. Gibbs Retreat is just as beautiful in the fall, winter and spring. We are surrounded by trees to enjoy the beautiful colors in fall and spring.

Winter is a great time to visit and enjoy quiet time around the fireplace. SML offers a lot of fun festivals including Pirate Days the 3rd weekend in July, SML Antique and Classic Boat Festival in September, SML Home Tour in October, and Chili Festival in November. You will also find plenty of fireworks for 4th of July and events during December for Christmas . Winter would be a wonderful to spend time with family putting puzzles together, playing games, celebrating Thanksgiving or Christmas. Worried there will be no decorations for Christmas, no need I decorate the inside of the house for Christmas. Winter would also be a great time if you are an author and need a quite place to write, quilters or scrapbookers…..

Gibbs retreat is comfortable 3-bedroom wood frame house with a large great room. The house comes with 2 lake front queen masters. One on the main level and one downstairs and an additional queen bed and 2 single beds available upstairs. Our open design kitchen has a large island, new appliances and is complete with everything you need. The great room with a high beam ceiling hosts an extra-large dining table that looks right out to the lake. Our updated new wood floors complement our spectacular view. The basement has been completely renovated from floor to ceiling including the bathroom with a new large walk-in shower. The outdoor deck is complete with a security gate at the steps has a large table for outdoor dining, grill, seating to enjoy the view and gas firepit. We provide the propane for the gas grill and firepit at no extra charge. We have added a porch swing under the deck to sit and enjoy the quiet. It's a great hideaway. Guests are welcome to any floats we have in the garage. Our laundry is located in the guest bath on the main floor eliminating any trips downstairs. Bringing or renting a boat Great! We have a covered dock with electricity. There is plenty of parking including a spot for your boat trailer. We offer boat launch at our neighborhood boat ramp, ask for details.

Upon your arrival you will find starter paper products - 2 rolls of toilet paper in the bathrooms, paper towels, sponge, dish pods and trash bags to get you started for your week. We provide all the dish/dishwasher and hand soaps, kitchen towels, coffee filters, and salt/pepper. We are dog friendly and will allow one dog.

    Overall this was a nice stay, the property manager was very quick to respond at any time of the day. The only thing I will say and this is huge for me …. Is the cleaning…..I’m not sure if people don’t stay often or just the lack of the cleaners effort. There were spider webs going from the kitchen knives to the microwave/cabinets plus a few other places but the kitchen totally caught me off guard knowing that would be a popular place used. The upstairs bath tub I had to clean out myself before putting my kiddos in it, because it had black smudges in it. When cleaning up the upstairs bedroom we stayed I looked under the bed for anything we would’ve dropped or left behind and that had an item under it so that made me wonder did they clean the floors? The house overall was nice, great neighborhood, good communication and in great shape but cleanliness is a big thing for me.

    Beautiful home and lake access! New renovations are impressive. Quiet neighborhood and very accommodating for families. Plenty of space both indoors and outdoors! Great for cooking, family game and movie time, neighborhood walks, and relaxing on the dock.

    My family and I had a great stay at Gibbs Retreat. The house was perfect for our family, very spacious, comfortable, clean, and appeared to have lots of recent updates. The neighborhood was very nice , quiet and friendly folks. The view of the lake from the deck was quite impressive as well. Host was very responsive and helpful prior to and during our stay. We will definitely be returning to Smith Mountain lake again and if this house is avaliable we would certainly choose it.

    We stayed for a week with our 22’ boat and had a wonderful time. The house is very spacious and comfortable. The renovated kitchen was stocked with every tool imaginable which made cooking for our family of 5 very convenient. The shady deck was lovely for eating al fresco or sitting with a good book. The view was outstanding. It was definitely worth the drive from NJ to meet our adult kids who came from NC and DC. We’ll definitely come again. Thanks Betty Ann & Lonnie!

    Great house, great views! Better than we expected. An unfortunate plumbing issue prevented our stay, but the hosts were responsive and super helpful. We'll try again.

    We had a great stay at this cabin! It’s been recently updated and was very clean and comfortable. There were plenty of beds—perfect for our group of seven plus a small dog. The two master bedrooms each had their own attached bathrooms, which was a big plus. The location is ideal, right on a beautiful part of Smith Lake. The boat dock was a highlight; we spent most of our time out on the water fishing and relaxing. There are quite a few steps down to the lake, but it was manageable and well worth it. We’d definitely recommend this place to anyone planning a trip to Smith Lake!

    Great location on the lake with beautiful water views. The neighborhood is quiet and we enjoyed taking walks each day. Had a quiet and cozy Thanksgiving with family at the lake and plan to do it again! The hosts were amazing and very responsive and we had no issues during our stay. Looking forward to our next stay at Smith Mountain Lake!

    We had a lovely weekend getaway. The house was clean and comfortable. The elevated view of the lake was lovely, and we really enjoyed the fire pit on the deck in the evenings. The house is on a quiet street and about a 15 minute drive to stores and restaurants, but it is nice to be away from any hustle and bustle!

    We only used the upstairs of the house and it was great to have 3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms all on one floor. The owner was wonderful to work with and very prompt to answer our questions. The house has been nicely updated. It was clean, it was great for us !

    Great neighborhood and home for family with children to visit. Nice water access, room for kids to hang out. Consider bringing a baby gate if you have an infant or toddler as steps down to walk out basement don’t have a door. Would absolutely go back.

    The place is as seen online. The dock is great and the beach is a really nice plus. We booked it bc we thought we could be outside in evening/night as no quiet hours in the listing. This ended up being an issue for us. So, if you want to be able to be outside at night you should talk to host before booking. There are more rules than advertising online.

    We had a wonderful stay. The layout of the house was perfect for a family with kids upstairs and two adults in the basement. Beautiful view of the lake from the spacious deck with lots of stairs (normal for this neighborhood) but not very steep. Had a small beach and dock that were a nice to have. The deck was gated in which was great to let the dogs out knowing they weren't going anywhere. Big spacious kitchen fully stocked with everything you need. Conveniently located. Not far from amenities. Neighborhood is very peaceful. Owner is very responsive to any questions/needs.

    Nice place. Property manger is outstanding and responds to any concerns quickly. Property itself could use some upkeep, for example the trees should be cut back near the water. Had some ants to deal with, but a house in the woods near the water will have insects. Overall, nice place for an affordable price.
