Shangri-La -dogs friendly, firepit, wifi, 2 kayaks, 2 kitchens, and a Pool Table

The house exceeded our expectations. Well maintained and nicely appointed. We will definitely keep it as an option in the future.

This house is wonderful. There was nothing left for us to want as the house had every amenity imaginable. The location on the lake was perfect and it was a very quite neighborhood.

Nice

We loved #lakelife at Shangila. The dock was perfect for a Labor Day weekend of fun. Would stay again!

Charming and comfortable house. It has all you need for a happy family vacation. We loved our stay in Shangri-La. We'd love to come back again.

My family enjoyed our stay at Shangrila! The house is well stocked and clean. The beds were very comfortable. It was an added bonus to not have to pay for a slip at a marina for our boat! Just walk out, hop on, and go!

My family had a wonderful time. Owners were very accommodating and responded immediately to any message. My son caught several fish straight off the dock:) The view is beautiful at dawn and dusk!

Our extended family of 8 adults gathered to celebrate a birthday milestone. The house was great - plenty of bedrooms and baths for all, extra refrigerator and oven in the basement, darts, pool, and tv's, a spacious deck with large table and seating for all, a terrific dock for our boat, and two kayaks. Ages 35-70 enjoyed it all! We had an issue checking in, as VRBO

My husband and I enjoyed 5 nights in this beautiful home. The home was supplied with everything we needed , we enjoyed cooking, grilling , playing a few games of pool and just relaxing on the dock with beautiful views . Grateful homeowners allowed dogs and we enjoyed many walks through beautiful neighborhood meeting friendly neighbors and watching abundance wildlife. Homeowners super nice and responsive to any questions we had.

The property was the perfect size for our group and the host was extremely responsive.

The house is gorgeous and spacious. The ground level could easily be a separate living space with its own bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, and laundry. I made mistakes both checking in and out but the host and cleaning crew were quick and easy to help me fix it so I can’t commend them enough for that. If you’re someone who likes to cook food directly on the grill, you might want to make other plans due to some rust but the benefits of this home far outweigh that one minor thing. Thanks for hosting myself and my family! We appreciate you!!

We were thankful to find this property after our FL trip was cancelled. The home was nice and very well stocked. It was so well stocked that we didn’t have room for the things we brought. The dock and view were a very nice addition. It was our first time at Smith Mountain Lake and it didn’t disappoint. The home was very comfortable. Absolutely appreciate the living room furniture. We had 7 adults stay for 9 nights and we were all very pleased with our stay. I will mentioned that in the pictures and description it says there is a queen sleeper sofa in one of the downstairs bedroom. It’s actual a queen bed which was a high plus. Would most definitely recommend a stay.

My family and I had a great time here! I would rent this house again! Accommodations were great! We really loved the water! Maybe hard to get to the water if handicapped!

Wonderful stay… house was great with spacious living areas. Loved the pool table and games at house. The dock area was perfect for swimming and our boat for the week. Fishing was excellent on the dock and in and around the cove. Perfect week to relaxation and family fun! Thank you so much for a wonderful place to stay!!

Everything was great. Only suggestion is to have markers on the stairs down to the lake.

The home is wonderful and is stocked well. The dock and boathouse was awesome! It is a steep walk but well worth it! We did bring extra paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper, etc. that we did need to use. We also brought our own beach towels which we needed as there were none there. We enjoyed our stay and would do it again!

Our two families had a super time at this lake house! The dock is perfect and the water is wonderful on this little cove. We spent hours and hours on the dock, playing in the water, listening to music and just having a blast! Super close to Mitchell’s marina, there is a good restaurant a couple minutes away by boat or car. Grocery stores are a little farther away (20-25 min) so plan ahead. Walmart is 45 minutes away in Alta Vista. Everything in the house was nice. The beds were comfy, the water pressure was good, the two kitchens were supplied with all needed things and the pool table was a lot of fun! The one and only drawback of this house for us was the lack of trash facilities. No outdoor trash nor trash pick up so we had to drive 10 minutes to the dump. This is certainly not a deal breaker as everything else about our stay was great, but it’s very inconvenient.

We stayed her for a week in mid July. It was me my husband, his parents, three teenage siblings, and a family friend couple. Even though there were many people in the house we never felt like we're were right on Top of each other. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Amazing spot on the lake for boating and Watersports!

Overall, the property is very good for a week's stay. Nice location and adequate parking space, good functional spare kitchen space and laundry area. Minor problems for our group: access to the dock is much steeper than shown in pictures; the last set of stairs by the water needs a handrail. One of our group has some health issues and it limited his trips to the water due to needing assistance to safely navigate the stairs and steep sidewalk. This should be disclosed in the description / pictures of the property The AC was very slow to cool the house (it was very hot outside) and in looking at the unit, the filters were fully clogged. There were extra filters but they did not fit the unit. Otherwise, everything was great. Thank you for renting to us.

Stayed at this location over the 4th of July week. Thoroughly enjoyed the house. Plenty of room for our group.

A bit of a walk down a hill to the dock but it’s a beautiful and quiet spot! Would definitely revisit!

We had a great time at the Shangrila! Our first family vacation with the grandkids. They had a blast on the dock fishing for sunfish and relaxing by the water. We fished for striper 4 days and had success everyday and caught some nice smallmouth and largemouth bass as well. We would definitely recommend this rental for a family; very spacious, clean, and in a quiet cul de sac on the water. We will be back next year.

Very clean place for a house that allows dogs. I will say that if u have much age on u, it is a steep walk up the hill from the dock. It has a well stocked kitchen and very well maintained yard. I highly recommend this place.

Had a great time with family at the lake. Property had plenty of kitchen and dock supplies. Walk to the dock was very steep - some had difficulty traveling back and forth...one family member was never able to go down. House had issues with bugs inside and on deck.
