Best Kept Secret at the lake! GENTLE SLOPE from the house to the water!! NO STEEP STAIRS to navigate! Situated on a 3.47 acre lot with 560 ft of shoreline, the house sits on a Point within a large cove, so you have all the benefits of a point but within the safety and serenity of a very large no wake zone. That means plenty of room to swim and play without being constantly buzzed by the boat traffic!

Stay here once, and you'll be hooked! Sure to become your new PREFERRED PLACE TO STAY at SML!

Two docks for your enjoyment. The first is a large, screened in dock over the water with an attached floating dock. THIS IS A GUEST FAVORITE PLACE! Adults can sit in the screened in comfort (seating for 16), and listen to the water lapping below while the kids swim, and launch kayaks, paddleboards and floats from the floating dock. You could easily spend the whole day right here!

The second dock is an L-shaped dock for fishing, sunning, picnicking and tying up your boat. This dock has 2 wicker loungers and a picnic table with umbrella.

Perfect for multi-generation families, or multiple families vacationing together. There's plenty of space to do things together AND plenty of space to spread out. You'll want to come back year after year!!

Leave all your worries behind - come relax, make memories and enjoy unforgettable sunsets! There are incredible long views of the lake from nearly every room in the house! Plenty of room to gather together with multiple large gathering spaces, but also enough room for everyone to have their own space with 6 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms.

We want to make your packing light and easy and your stay as enjoyable as possible! The beds will be dressed when you arrive in high quality cotton linens, and the bathroom closets will be stocked with bath towels! You don't have to bring your own sheets OR walk in the door and make your own beds! In the bathrooms, you'll also find soap, shampoo, conditioner, make-up remover towels & towelettes, and a hair dryer.

In the kitchen, (in addition to everything you need to cook and serve your food), you'll also find basic spices and condiments, plus plastic wrap, foil, paper towels, trash bags, hot pads, & dish cloths and dish soap.

    We had a wonderful time with our whole family at this beautiful home! Our son proposed to his girlfriend on his boat in the cove behind the home. It was a perfect venue and we are so thankful! Gorgeous sunsets, quiet beautiful cove and tons of room for us to spread out

    Amazing home, docks, views, time! Sherry and Jim were very responsive and accommodating. The location was perfect! The view was spectacular but it was secluded enough to allow for many hours of safe swimming/floating off the docks. The home is laid out beautifully allowing us to all meet in the spacious eating area for buffet dinners; in the large living room to watch movies; in the basement full of well maintained games (pool, air hockey, foosball, arcade); on the open and closed docks; on the back patio for lunches and corn hole tournaments! The beds and bedrooms were comfotable, clean, and very nicely furnished! All-in-all a spectacular time was had by all of us at Sunset Paradise! THANK YOU Sherry and Jim!

    We rented Sunset Paradise for our vacation. Jim and Sherry have a beautiful home. We enjoyed our stay. The dock house was perfect for our youngest grandchildren to be able to be down on the lake with the adults. There were floats and other water toys for the kids. The actual house was spacious and there was plenty of room for all of us. We didnt have to worry about bugs on the screened in porches. The adults and children spent much time on them. They have paid attention to the details in providing the opportunity for a wonderdul vacation on the lake.

    This was our first trip to Smith Mountain Lake. Sunset Paradise was perfect for our stay! It is located back on a quiet part of the lake which was great for swimming and floating. The grandkids loved the lily pad and kayaks. There was plenty of room in the home for everyone. My daughter-in-laws and I thought it was the best equipped home we had stayed in! The kitchen has plenty of room for prep and serving. And we loved the Blackstone grill. We only ate out one evening. All said they would want to come back to the lake and stay at Sunset Paradise!

    Wonderful hosts, who even delivered farm fresh eggs! The property is accurately named “Sunset Paradise” but no pictures prepare you for how amazing the sunsets truly are to watch. This was a magical, peaceful place of bonding and healing after our family lost multiple very important people. We plan to be back again!

    This property was really amazing, with a beautiful location on the lake and nicely furnished with lots of space to spread out. The home is extremely well stocked with all the everyday items you could possibly need. There is a wide assortment of water toys available to use, our children particularly enjoyed the stand up paddle boards and the water pad. Then after a day of playing in the water we had smores at the fire pit!! The owners were very friendly and easy to get in touch with for any questions. We would definitely come back here again!!

    What can I say? We LOVE Sunset Paradise and they don’t come better than Jim and Sherry, the owners. We spent 10 days playing and spending time together. There were 14 of us and still plenty of room to spread out, and absolutely everything we needed was already there! Hands down, Our Happy Place!!

    We had never been to Smith Mountain Lake, and this immediately had us wanting to buy a house and move down there. We loved it so much. Perfect weather the whole time, perfect location. So much fun couldn’t have asked for better.

    Beautiful property, updated interior, and great spaces throughout the house to lounge or play games. The two docks are perfect for a group and provide you with as much or as little sun as you can handle.
