The property was exactly as depicted in the listing and was well equipped with anything you would need! The owners of this property have gone above and beyond to ensure their guest enjoy their time at the lake and are comfortable in the house (the beds were very comfortable with mattress pads, plenty of seating for large groups, and a spacious living room layout)
So many great things! We got a pontoon boat w/ tube and four jet skis. Everyone had an absolute blast! one evening we made smores and listened to Adam play a guitar and sing songs while the ten of us sat around the fire near the dock. Not a day of rain except when we arrived. Everything was perfect !
Our family, with 3 generations, had a wonderful time together at this home. It is exceptionally well stocked with sand and water toys, life vests, 3 refrigerators, kitchen appliances, etc. It's in a beautiful and quiet cove, just a short trip from the dam and other nice areas of the lake. The kids could easily play on the beach or in the water, and we spent many hours in the near by coves tubing and doing other water sports. This was a great house for our trip.
We loved our vacation to celebrate Christmas in January with family. The house was beautifully decorated and just as described online. Nancy and Charles provided very detailed information for the house and surrounding area. Love our trip!
Our first time at Smith Mountain Lake based on some recommendations. Journeys End was a perfect place to stay! On the water in a quiet cove with a great yard. The house has everything a family could want. Plenty of space, games, hot tub, and every kitchen gadget you can think of. Nothing missed here! Nancy and Charles are great hosts! Highly recommend! Donât miss this one!
We went for a quiet girls trip and could not have found a better place to stay! The property was clean and comfortable and had everything we need and more. The views of the lake were stunning and we were even able to get out on the propertyâs kayaks and paddle boards in November. The kitchen was a great size and well stocked. All of us hope to return in the future!
The kids and adults loved the kayaking, swimming and fishing. Sadly, we got rained out on Sunday, but we do need the rain so I won't complain. House was very nice!
We had a great time staying here. The house was clean, the property was well maintained and there was plenty of room for everyone. Plenty of parking as well. The dock was awesome and had plenty of space and furniture for everyone to sit and hang out. We will definitely be going back!
Journey's End is in a quiet, remote cove that our family enjoyed immensely. The home is lovely and well equipped. Lots of wonderful memories were made. Highly recommend !
Wonderful week with family - very quiet cove with clear water for swimming. Kitchen had everything we needed and second fridge in the garage came in handy. Loved being able to have all of us fit at the dining table for dinner! Enjoyed hanging out on the dock and making 'smores by the fire pit.
We rented Journey's End for a family reunion and had a wonderful time. We are all siblings and our spouses - all of us are seniors - and this place was perfect for our stay. We enjoyed using the kayaks, the paddle boards, the dock & the fire pit. There are plenty of comfortable bedrooms for the 7 of us and multiple places for dining on the deck & kitchen. The kitchen is well supplied with dishes, cooking equipment, and anything you may need.
Thank you to our hosts for a very special stay!
We were celebrating my 50th birthday and we had a blast! Everything was top notch and we had so much space to congregate. We are already planning for next spring! Perfect for a family or friend group.
Went for our friends 40th birthday. It was a beautiful house tucked in a nice private cove. The property had everything we needed. Great communication by the owners. We would definitely come back again!
Beautiful property with all you need for great vacation
We rented the property for the Memorial weekend for three families with kids. The house sits on a nice sloping lawn with beautiful water view. Location on the water is quiet, no boats or jetskis were around, the property provides all you may need on the water - paddle boards, kayaks, some water toys, noodles, floaties, kids thoroughly enjoyed the lake. The dock has very nice sitting furniture. The house was clean, kitchen stocked with all kind of utensils, spices, food processors, bedrooms are spacious with good quality matresses. One note - one bedroom with two twins is off the master bedroom, i.e. it's bedroom inside master bedroom, would work for a close family, but not necessarily for friends. Worked for us great, but thought to make a note of this configuration. Our favorite space was deck with huge dining table and several sitting arrangements with beautiful views over the water and sunset. This is the house where all basic and beyond basic necessities were provided, saves time on shopping. Communication with the owners was very effective and Nancy was very helpful. We loved the house and hope to be back again!
Enjoyed staying here. Home was well equipped and directions for accessing everything was very clear/labeled. Relaxing atmosphere and very kid friendly.
Oh it was WONDERFUL!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We wished we had longer. The views were beautiful and we loved the area of the lake in our own private cove it felt. Fire pit right along the water and private little âbeachâ. We enjoyed the dock and sunshine all day Saturday, after morning hot tub!
Plenty of space for groups and families. Great kitchen equipped with everything you need!
Let me say Nancy is a dream to work with. She handled all of my concerns, even the crazy ones, like a pro. Journeys End is everything they say it is and then some. The pictures do not do justice to the beauty of their property. You truly wonât want for anything. The cove is so peaceful & SML is beautiful. We opted to rent a boat for the week, but thereâs plenty to enjoy without one. After decades of vacationing at the beach, we were converted. We had such an amazing time and look forward to returning next year.
This was a long awaited trip that we were looking forward too and it was worth the wait. The house and amenities were fantastic. The kids loved all the outdoor activities. We 100% recommend renting from Nancy and Charles. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

This home is beautiful and had absolutely everything we needed. Everything was clean and looked exactly as it did on the listing. The cove was quiet and beautiful and the neighbors were very pleasant as well. We were only there for the weekend, but I wish we had booked extra days. Communication with the owner/host was wonderful. As an added plus, there was also great reception there and the wifi worked well! (**we had teenage kids...you know how that goes). The lot was beautiful, with a small downward slope. Very manageable. Had it been warmer, we would have been able to enjoy ALLLLLL of the kayaks and paddleboards. I can't say enough good things about this rental. If the opportunity arises again, we will be back!!!
Great place to stay with plenty of room. My family and I came to surprise my daughter for her 21st birthday. She loved the place and enjoyed herself, we all did especially the hot tub! Nancy was great to work with. You won't be disappointed if you stay there.
