It was a great location to view the lake, and amazing sunsets! We had a great time here, even though the weather didn't cooperate for using the kayaks. There is a lot to do around the lake, and we didn't have any issues finding good places to eat nearby.
Everything was great except the trash disposal. Finding a dumpster, Bedford County dump, was interesting with multiple trash bags in our car. I guess the summer includes trash service. Everything else was very good.
Overall a nice cabin with a full beautiful sunset view. Only real issue for me was the parking for the truck and trailer. Also the North wind almost ruined my boat. That has nothing to do with the owner of the property. This was all mother nature and hernfury. Just a warning if you want to leaveb your boat at the dock. You can pay to leave it at Parkway Marina overnight @ 25 a night which isn't that bad. Again this is a older cabin type of place thats super quiet and very private. There is no traffic at all hardly. Highly recommend this house if you want beautiful sunsets and privacy.
A nice quiet escape to the lake. Enjoyed taking our paddle boards out and swimming daily. Relatively close to stores and restaurants. Beware of the mosquitoesâŠthey were brutal one evening and got like 20 bites in 10 minutes!
Absolutely gorgeous setting and views everywhere, incredible swimming right off the dock, and a rustic home, not fancy or modern but with everything you need.
We absolutely loved your place! I wish I had done research on the area so my boys could have brought our boat! I was more focused on securing a place to stay for the graduation that was reasonably priced. Everything listed on the website was accurate and a perfect getaway for our graduate!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The deck and dock were our favorite hang outs! Sunsets delivered as promised! Definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet relaxing getaway
The cabin was beautiful and the view was amazing. We loved watching the sun set from the dock and had great fishing the whole time there. Will definitely be staying again in the future.
We had a relaxing weekend, loved being on the lake with the beautiful views. Enjoyed being in a cozy cottage, as we prefer cabins and cottages over the more fancy, palatial places!
A few weeks late in reviewing this comfy and quaint cottage; a perfect refuge from the heat and noise of suburban living. The sunsets were spectacular, yes! as was the night skies that ensued. The cottage is nestled in a small sheltered cove providing privacy for swimming, my favorite exercise. Seeing Osprey and Herons was an unexpected gift. Everything I needed was provided by the host ,and she was quick to respond when I had a question or two about this and that. I canât wait to return!
This lake house is great. It is in a very quiet area on the water. It was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. We would definitely stay there again.
I come to SML every year for a fall retreat, and this was by far the best place I've stayed! Beautiful, quiet, peaceful location - amazing lake views from the cabin. The cabin is cozy and charming. I enjoyed every second! Perfect spot for a rest from city-life!
Came to a wedding at the marina. Found this small cottage and enjoyed it very much! It has a wonderful view from the deck where we enjoyed our meals . Plan to visit again for sure.
What a wonderful few days on SML! The cabin is quaint and tucked away in a quiet area which was perfect for us to celebrate our anniversary. Laura was wonderful to work with and quick to respond to any questions. Our well behaved lab enjoyed the dock and there was enough space in the second floor/street-side room for us to set up her crate. The view from the back deck was great and we saw many osprey flying nearby. We would definitely stay here again!
The home is located on the lake in a cove which was nice. We like to walk several miles a day with our dog so the SML State Park was conveniently 3 miles away. The deck and outdoor dining area is large. The yard is a bit overgrown. We had good weather 2 of our 3 evenings there and watched the gorgeous sunset. Only the sit-in kayak will hold anyone over 150 lbs. Ants were a persistent problem on the kitchen counter area.
This was a really love place to spend a few days - the dock is just down a staircase and you can jump right in and swim. Our kids loved the unfettered access to the lake and we loved the quiet.
I am a musician and educator, and this was my former home for 16 years, and I still love it. The lake cottage provided to me a lot of special solace to practice and develop my musicianship on piano, violin, mandolin. Plus, I love swimming!
My father spotted Smith Mountain Lake about 50 years ago and bought a large track of land. In fact, he put the road in, on this peninsula. Several family homes were built and some lots sold. This cottage property was constructed by my father and was my home for 16 years. To eliminate a daily commute to work, I moved to town nearby, and created a beautiful short-term lake rental to share with visiting guests on vacation.
Amazing, breathtaking views of the Lake, brightness and light, peacefulness, serenity and privacy (during the week), lake liveliness on the summer weekends! And, always, Glorious Sunsets.
