Peaceful waterfront house with a view

The house was amazing. Spacious, clean, comfortable and well appointed. The kids loved the ping pong and Pac-Man. The view of the lake at sunset was breathtaking. The only thing I would suggest is better lighting down the driveway

The inside of the home was super nice! We have had a lot of rain in the area so the grass was really high, which kept us from enjoying the fire pit. The deck is amazing, but is in desperate need of repair. Please watch where you walk. Getting down to the water is a hike and back up requires additional oxygen! LOL Where it is located, the water doesn't move much. Kind of muddy, for our taste, but within 15 minutes of other amazing swimming areas.

There was nothing majorly wrong with the rental that would prohibited you from staying there. The ping pong table, and pac-man, along with some other games are a fun touch. The interior is nice enough although I found some areas to have some spider webs/bugs that you typically wouldn't want crawling around the interior.The exterior of the property needs some love. Everything is overgrown to the point where you can't see the address sign, making it hard to spot at first. The lack of outdoor maintenance is likely the cause of the insane amount of spiderwebs, bugs, etc... The listing does mention that the driveway is step, but it's also mostly gravel and has minimal room to turn around at the bottom which rendered it unusable for my truck, but certainly not a deal breaker as the top of the driveway is close. Sticking to the outside, the house could definitely use a pressure wash, and some replacement boards for the decks. Again, not a deal breaker, just something that'd make a big difference in first impressions.Unfortunately for the lake aspect of this property, when we were there it was basically mud, and definitely not something you'd consider jumping in, paddle boarding, etc... that could just be timing of our stay, but uncertain. I can say that right around the river bend the water was much cleaner.I didn't find the location to be too bad, it was about 15-25 minutes from any restaurant, bar, marina that seemed worth checking out.

This is a wonderful vacation home. The kitchen is well equipped and the inside of the home is very nicely decorated and everything was freshly vacuumed and clean when we arrived. The games especially the Ping Pong and Pac Man in the downstairs were a great amenity and lots of family fun! We very much appreciated the linens and towels being provided and had a wonderful stay. The owner was great about communication both before and during our stay. I would definitely suggest that the property listing includes a note that it is 159 very steep stairs (yes, we counted them) from the downstairs level down to the dock and the creek is very muddy and unknown depth so we did not choose to use our boat at the home or go down the stairs except once. To stay at the home you must park at the top street level and there is a very steep hill and walk down a rocky path with a partial blacktop and a partial gravel driveway which was a definite challenge throughout our stay especially when moving our things in and out. The interior of the home and the interior amenities are awesome but with the exterior of the gravel steep path to and from the car and the steep stairs to the water were a real challenge. Love the place but beware the climb to the home and to the dock are steep.

I was surprised to find that the upkeep off the property had been neglected. There were spider webs all over a lot of the windows and sliding glass doors (on the outside of the house). The decks railings on the decks were poorly maintained and could have used a power wash. The wooden steps down to the dock were slippery and filled with green mold. The lake tributary off the dock was colored baseball field orange and too offensive to try to use the kayaks or the stand-up paddle boards. For a rental that was advertised as (on the Smith Mountain lake) this was a huge disappointment.The bathrooms each had a family of small flies on the wall near the ceiling (over the mirrors).On the bright side the ping pong table and pac-man game were fun and used frequently. The kitchen was well stocked and all appliances worked well.

Perfect hidden gem for a truly relaxing vacation. Beautiful view, lovely private dock. Driveway was steep but we got used to it. Great location for those looking for a peaceful escape. Owner was great communicator!

Truly enjoyed being in a quiet area, that is still accessible. Owners were great in all ways.

The house was beautiful and spacious. Perfect for me and my friends to hang out and to spread out in when we wanted to. The driveway is steeeep (as warned by the owner). We had a little trouble getting a Prius back up to the road, but managed in the end. Great stay, would definitely go back!

House was the perfect spot for a family getaway. Host was very nice and helpful!

Perfect oasis my family and i enjoyed from sun up to sun down. Amazing view and access to Lake sacluded and tuck away roomy home to enjoy.
