Stunning Cedar 4 BR , 3 full bath hm with amazing views of the lake & mountains

The host was welcoming and very responsive as needed. The home was very well stocked- there wasn’t anything that we needed that wasn’t there. We loved the open floor plan and space for everyone. The cabin feel with lots of wood and exposed wood beams made it feel charming. The outdoor space was plentiful and the views were fantastic. My daughter and her boyfriend enjoyed the privacy of the downstairs suite.

Beautiful and serene. The house was clean and well appointed. Lots of kitchen gear making cooking for large groups easy. Enjoyed the hot tub, kayaks, and floating dock to park our pontoon rental. Alicia was as nice and responsive as she could be. Highly recommend.

We came down to celebrate a 64th birthday of a dear friend. Beds were comfortable. House was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the hot tub and kayaks. Lovely property we highly recommend!

Three generations of a family stayed here to attend our daughter’s/sister’s/granddaughter’s graduation from VirginiaTech, with ages ranging from 21 to 80. EVERYONE was happy with the accommodations (an often difficult feat!). The house has stunning views, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and the surrounding woods were serene and perfect for afternoon walks counting the numerous deer that populate the area. We could not get over how gorgeous and well maintained this property is. The living area is spacious and was able to accommodate groups of people clumped in various spots holding their own conversations or playing one of the many board games that were tucked away in the closet. The kitchen had every accoutrement imaginable, from pots and pans to mixers, knives, multiple sized bowls and platters, tons of spices and seasonings, and dozens of kinds of teas. We absolutely loved being here, and the host was so wonderful to communicate with. She reached out well before the trip, then again immediately before we left for the trip, and then on the day of arrival to let us know that the house was cleaned early and available for check in several hours in advance. We also really appreciated being able to bring our dog with us - he absolutely loved the lake and jumping from the dock. It was probably one of the last vacations we’ll get to do together as a family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place or host to work with. Thank you, Alicia!!!

A lovely, comfortable home. Everything was just as described, my husband and I enjoyed our weekend get away.

The house had lovely views of smith mountain lake. We loved spending time in the hot tub while watching the stars!

Most homey yet amenity filled mountain home my family has ever stayed in. Would return in an instant!

The cabin and property were both beautiful. The home was clean and had a well-appointed kitchen. Upon arrival, the house had a strong, musty smell, but opening the windows and lighting candles rid the home of the musty aroma. My daughter has allergies, and I was concerned the scent would make it difficult for her, but she had no issues. There was a road and several small cabins between the home and the lake, but you could see between them to the water; only a small amount of the view was blocked. One of the bedrooms was not accessible from the home, but rather you had to walk outside and to the back of the house to enter that room. It was disappointing that the room could not be accessed from the main part of the house, but my son and his wife volunteered to take it so the rest of us could be upstairs with the baby. That separate space opened to a beautiful patio. There were two decks, one off the other; that was our favorite part of the home. There were built-in gates that kept the baby and the dogs on the decks, which made using that space more relaxing. The kayaks were under the deck, and no one wanted to pull them out, so we did not use them, but I assume that if we had, it would have made the stay even better. The owner was very communicative and eager to make our stay great. Overall, the home was beautiful, and we had a wonderful weekend.

We stayed 7 days here for a family vacation. My grown kids, my parents, my husband and dog. The Lodge accommodated all of us. We fished everyday. We swam every day. Fixed huge family dinners every night. Then we chilled out in the hot tub at night. Thank you Alicia for opening your home. We will definitely be back! Maybe every year :)

We look forward to many more wonderful stays here!

Our stay here was great. Home is exactly as described and well suited for anyone with mobility issues. Furniture was comfortable, kitchen was well stocked and was thankful to have linens, towels and beach towels provided. Host was easy to communicate with and very helpful. She definitely cares about her guests having a good time. Dock was very nice also. Boat sits down off dock so may be difficult for someone with mobility issues. Loved that we could drive right down to dock if we didn’t want to use stairs. Definitely recommend staying here.

We could not have asked for anything to be better than it was for our family vacation! The weather, home, lake, and having family around the table for every meal made this family vacation memorable and enjoyable beyond measure! Thank you, Alicia! We will be back!

Great outdoor deck space. Spacious floor plan. Property area is quiet & remote. We had 7 people and rented main lodge and the attached 4th bedroom. Kitchen is not large but nicely redone and well stocked with most everything you need. Dock is about 60 steps from lodge but you can drive down to it. We've stayed at much worse slopes down to the dock. Overall, an excellent week and would stay here again!

Beautiful place. Loved the deck!

We had the BEST stay. Beautiful home, beautiful views. Such a relaxing getaway. We brought the pontoon boat, enjoyed the views, and the dock was perfect for our picnic. Great kitchen, bedrooms were perfect. Would not have asked for a better host.

What an amazing property! Our group enjoyed the serene location, beautiful mountain views and the quieter end of the lake. The house was well apportioned, we particularly enjoyed the spacious multi-tiered deck and hot tub which we put to use everyday. Highly recommend!
