Profitez des couchers de soleil tout en admirant sur la baie et le canal principal. Beaucoup de bonnes pĂȘche et les sports nautiques pour tous. Personne n'a un mauvais moment ici.
This is our 4th time staying here! Perfect location. Love that each bedroom has its own bathroom. The dock is great place to tie up our boat and jet ski. Ate our meals on the porch. Enjoyed mourning walks in the neighborhood. Our family has made many memories here!
Fantastic Stay!We had an excellent stay at this home! The property is in a peaceful cove with a great dock. The house was extremely clean and well-maintained, with very comfortable beds.The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. We especially loved that all the bedrooms had direct access to balconiesâboth upper and lower levels. Communication with the owners was smooth and easy.We would absolutely stay here again.
Amazing views. Ample space and plenty to keep us entertained. Overall, we had a great time. The kids didn't want to leave. Only cons were bringing your own linen (towels and sheets, etc) and taking your own trash.
Alford's Getaway is a beautiful home on a very nice cove. The kitchen is well-stocked and easy to move around in when there is more than one person cooking. The bedrooms and bathrooms are nice, very clean and give you privacy. The beds are comfortable. The cove is deep and the water clean. The dock is nice and great for sitting and relaxing. We had a great time!
Impeccably clean, very spacious, beautiful dock, and views!! The kitchen is completely stocked with everything needed, and the propane grill was brand new! We have owned two beautiful lakefront homes, so we are pretty picky about frontage, etc. and this home surpassed our expectations. So thoroughly enjoyed our time there!
This house has everything needed for a week away from home. It is one of the cleanest vacation houses we have stayed at. The covered back porch was my favorite part. Perfect for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Our sons loved fishing off the dock every night. We would definitely come back.
We had a wonderful stay at Alfords Getaway. The house was sparkling clean and very comfortable. We appreciated that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The kitchen was well-equipped. Coffee on the porch was a highlight each morning. Everything worked well. The information binder was clear with great explanations. It was a peaceful retreat for us. We will look forward to returning one day.
This was our third time staying at this house. Location on the lake is very convenient to Jakeâs Place, Drifterâs, Portside and the bridge. The dock is perfect for our boat. The house is very clean and well stocked. We cooked several meals on the grill and ate every meal on the deck. We also enjoyed morning walks in the neighborhood. We celebrated my husbandâs 50th birthday by picking up a delicious carrot cake by boat from the Smith Mountain Lake Coffee House. Highly recommend this house!!!
We really enjoyed our stay at Alfordâs gateway. Location is pretty convenient. House was very clean, well equipped, the only think we wished for was Wi-Fi. But it didnât take away from all 5 star review. The best thing was lake view and access.
We will definitely consider renting it again. Thank you Betty for making it so welcoming!
The 6 of us traveled to SML from Arkansas to have a family reunion. My brother lives across the cove from this property and recommended it to us. It was perfect for our party of 6 adults. Had 3 large bedrooms, each with their own full bath, a well stocked kitchen, laundry room, 2 living areas, 2 beautiful porches, and a dock with kayaks available for our use. We could not have asked for better accommodations, we appreciate how well kept the property is, the ease of check in and out, and the responsiveness of the owners. Thank you Alfordâs Getaway for the wonderful memories we made on SML!
A pleasure arriving to this lovely, fresh smelling home on the lake! Easy communication with the owners.
Views from lakeside rooms were amazing. We loved drinking coffee on the top balcony where chipmunks entertained us below. We rented a pontoon and easily docked it at the property dock.
Use of the ownerâs crock pot was a nice touch for a home cooked pot roast. All appliances were easy to use and kitchen was well stocked with dishes, flatware, utensils, etc.
Our favorite restaurant on the water was Napoli. Several excellent restaurants (Bull Docks, Bella Vita Italian) were a short drive from the property as well as the grocery store and Bridgewater Marina.
Stay here if youâre looking for a lovely vacation on SML!!
Alford's Getaway is a beautiful home with comfortable beds and a great location and dock. They have lots of great videos. The house was spotless when we got there and had lot of great amenities. The two porches are wonderful to sit out on and read or watch the lake. The hill is a bit steep for the elderly, but other than that a short walk to and from the dock.
The two kayaks were really nice to have as an option though we didn't use them as we had rented a boat.
The only reason we put 4 stars for accuracy is that when we originally arranged to rent the house the site said that they would be getting wifi in the summer when another renter had been disappointed in not having wifi. We assumed that that was happening. Unfortunately, that must have fallen through as there is no wifi. Luckily I was able to create a personal hotspot with my phone plan so our one workaholic was able to get access to the Internet. We definitely would stay here again.
My family and I had a great time at this lake house. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could ever want, crockpot, toaster oven, toaster, coffee pot. The owners thought of everything from flashlights to cleaning products. We did bring our Keurig for convenience and an air fryer would have been a bonus but probably hard to keep clean. The grill was fabulous and huge and the owner left us a new grill sponge to clean it with in between uses. The outdoor spaces are great and itâs perfect for a big family. There are a few downsides that others have noted like the very steep driveway and access to the lake which is typical of the lake. I am 60 so only went down to the lake once but younger folks didnât seem to have an issue. I enjoyed my view from the deck so didnât miss going down to the dock. The stairs are also steep going down to the lower level where there are 2 bedrooms so mine was upstairs. Again the younger folks didnât seem to have a problem. In the master upstairs the shower was small and not very powerful and well water makes you hair kinda flat but since we were just family it didnât really matter much. And the shower head was handheld so I was able to adjust for the low water pressure. The feeling of the house is very comfortable. It felt like I was staying at a relatives house. For the most part it was quiet and serene. The neighbors were nice and let us borrow their air compressor to blow up some floats. I would highly recommend this lake house.
Our property was designed by the host to create a welcoming place for family and friends together. The bedrooms with attached bathrooms create a sense of privacy while the open concept great rooms provide a place for people to gather to eat, play games and make memories.
