Great house that met all of our needs. Dock was great, wired for sound, shaded area to sit and play cards, and a short relatively flat walk from the house, which was a plus. Would stay there again.
Rotherâs Retreat is a great place. The location to the lake is perfect with a beautiful view. The house was very roomy and well equipped with all of the modern utilities needed for a perfect vacation. Rick Rother was very accommodating in planning our vacation. I canât wait to book our trip for next year.
This property was all around our favorite yet. The owners were nice and accommodating. The lot was almost flat leading to the water. The dock had plenty of room for kids to play, nice shaded area, nice cooler(ice machine in house) and the floating dock was great for watercraft. The neighbors were both nice also. We will Definitely be back.
We found this to be a Perfect spot for family vacation with grandkids Also, the few issues that we had we found the owners to be extremely responsive to our needs. The kitchen was well-equipped and plenty of plastic for days out on the boat was extremely helpful. Nice laundry room with ice machine which was also a big help filling our coolers. There were books which our granddaughters enjoyed and it was a very quiet peaceful Cove. Lots of fun fishing to be had on the dock and a sizable large mouth bass was caught one day! All in all we had no complaints I would definitely come back!
we keep coming back to this house for several reasons.
The owners take great pride in making it welcoming with decor, cleanliness and upgrades as needed. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking any type of meal. The grill is great and hooked up to a big propane tank so you don't run out. This year we brought 2 paddleboards and used the boat dock to get on and off.
The professional ice maker and cooler at the dock ... We plan to come back everyyear for as long as they rent it.
After having trips cancelled this year due to the COVID pandemic, we decided to get away where we could enjoy solitude and quality family time. Smith Mountain Lake and Rother's Retreat was the perfect place to escape all the politics surrounding the pandemic. The home was just as it was described and shown in the pictures. It was well equipped and the furnishings very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the dock all times of the day, where we could park our jet ski's safely, enjoy picnicking, fishing and floating on a raft. The location of the home was perfect as it was in a quiet cove and at an end of the lake where it was not overly developed. The view from the home overlooking the lake was absolutely lovely. We all agreed, we would return to Rother's Retreat!
Our family had a fantastic time! The home and property was even better in person than we expected! The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The downstairs living area was great for children to spread out and play games. The window treatments provided a great dark environment for little ones to nap!
The dock setup was fantastic for our small children who spent hours and hours jumping in the lake. We were able to easily tie up our own boat in the floating docks, and ate many lunches down by the water in the shade. The cove was quiet and protected from boat traffic and great for swimming. Overall a fantastic rental experience. Weâre ready to go back!
Rotherâs Retreat was better than expected! Our family enjoyed everything. The homeâs decor is lake themed and very well kept. The dock was fantastic and on one particular day we spent the entire day on the dock and kayaked everyday. We played yard games on the flat green grassy backyard and enjoyed a cookout using the grill and ate dinner on the deckâs dinning table. We will definitely request to stay again! Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home! Bring hand soap, dish washer soap and dish soap, all paper products including toilet paper. Any spices and salt and pepper, anything youâll need for your recipes. The home does provide a lot of pots and pans, dishes, and utensils. Minute Mart does sell groceries if you forget stuff.
1st of all, we love a dock-this is a great dock with a diving board and two ladders for swimming. Also extra slips for boats or jet skis. The cove is huge and quiet. No worry with big boats racing by. The back yard to the dock is nice and flat and room to throw ball and play catch. The house has a huge deck with plenty of seating and a nice gas grill.
The house is better than the pictures! Two king rooms, two queen rooms and a double bunk room. All the mattresses were very comfy and slept well! The whole house has been remodeled with two living areas and plenty of wifi with all the essentials on the smart TVs. We are cooks in our family, the kitchen is the best stocked kitchen we have ever seen! Very nice cookware and everything you need for vacation!
Two things I would "suggest" to add to the home-are some play things to use on the lake. We brought our own floats and a ride to pull behind the boat we rented, but maybe a kayak or a paddle board would be nice to use. They did have life vests and some pool noodles available. Also, a fire pit to use, we wanted to make s'mores and we did not see a space to do so. So we roasted them over the gas grill and made do!
This is a GREAT house, super clean and up to date, super comfy beds and plenty of space to spread out. A kitchen that is stocked with all you need. An AWESOME dock and cove to play and boat around. Also, you can boat to a few restaurants nearby! We give this a 5 star review!! Thanks to the Rothers Family for sharing their home! We loved it!
We love this house! This is our 4th year renting it. We look forward to it all year. You can tell the owners take pride in it. This year there was some new landscaping. we find everything we need in the kitchen. The weather was perfect with rain only the last evening.
We brought 2 paddleboards again this year and rented a pontoon boat for the week.
This is our second time renting "Rothers Retreat" and I can't say enough good things about it. It has everything you could want or need for a vacation rental on SML. The kitchen is VERY well equipped which is important to our group because we cook almost all meals at home. The dock with built in cooler and professional ice maker in basement are wonderful. We kept not only beverages but perishable snacks in it. This year we brought two inflatable paddle boards and they were used daily in the large cove. I highly recommend this property!
This was our second year staying at Rotherâs Retreat and another great vacation! The property is very well equipped and the owners continue to make upgrades in furnishings and kitchen tools! The home and property are lovingly maintained. We look forward to coming back next year!
This place is great!! We had a great family vacation and would definitely come back. The owners are wonderful! The house is great! The lake is the best! What else could you ask for. I would definitely recommend it.
We've rented a few times on SML in the past
This property had everything it promised in the description.
Very clean, well maintained , kitchen well equipped, wonderful deck and dock and most important "gentle slope to the lake" There were 3 couples and two adult children in our party.
We had plenty of room to socialize and also privacy when needed.
The industrial ice maker and cooler on the deck were awesome.
The owners were quickly responsive to a couple of small issues.
We would highly recommend this house no need to look any further. We will definitely rent again.
This property checked everything we were looking for in a rental at the lake. Clean, great location for boating and swimming. Enough room to spread out. Quiet cove and all the essentials that were needed.
My wife and I have enjoyed Smith Mountain Lake for over 45 years. We visit often and never tire of the serenity of the lake in the mornings and the beautiful sunsets at night.
We started coming to the Lake in High School with our parents and when the opportunity arose we decided to purchase a second home here. We have enjoyed coming with our children and their friends and now that they are almost grown, we enjoy a little adult time here whenever possible.
What makes Rother's Retreat special is the fact that there is no commercial activity nearby. It is very quiet yet by boat only 15 minutes to the "other side" where shopping, restaurants etc., can be found. The views from the dock are fabulous and there is plenty of room for the whole crowd. The dock features wired speakers so bring your phone or Ipod to listen to your favorite tunes. The floating dock features room for 2-3 boats plus room for PWC's. A public boat launch is only 10 minutes away by car.
