Beautiful property and location. Check In was easy. Property was spacious and perfect for our needs.

The process was easy. I understand the need to protect your property but the added fees are expensive

Shangri-la was a pleasant place for our last minute weekend at the lake. The location—easy access to a marina and the state park—can’t be beat.

Lovely condo on clean cool lake

A lovely townhouse, right on the lake. Close to Mitchell’s for boat rentals, pizza, etc.

The property is in a great location if you want privacy and quiet time, and is what we were looking for. It was exactly as expected in the details of the property. Follow all directions that are sent to you when given by the owner and you won’t miss anything major. The downstairs stayed a lot cooler than the upstairs. The upstairs was probably 10 degrees warmer with whatever temperature you set the AC on. Just used extra blankets downstairs than we did upstairs. I would definitely go back again. The owner was helpful and would text or email back when needed.

We had a great time with the family celebrating my sons graduation! Just what we were looking for!

My family had a wonderful long weekend at SML, and we HIGHLY recommend Shangri-La! The home is clean, welcoming, and modern with loads of space and a stunning view of the lake. In shopping around, I found the rental rate extremely reasonable. We had 4 adults and 2 toddlers, and we did not feel cramped in the least. Caroline, the owner, was extremely responsive to my many questions and promptly returned our deposit. We rented a pontoon from Mitchell's Marina, which is close to the home (5 min dock-to-dock, in the boat), and had the most amazing day puttering around SML. If you are looking to rent a boat, Mitchell's is THE place to do it! Friendly, professional, great customer service and a tasty restaurant to boot! Only 2 things I would note, and neither would necessarily be considered a negative, just good things to know: (1) There's no internet. If the weather's nice, no big deal, but on the chance of rain, you may want to pack some extra entertainment if you have kids. The tv does have full cable. (2) It's a bit of a drive (maybe 20-30 min?) if you want to head into a town to get groceries/find entertainment. Again, the remoteness is probably what most people are looking for, I add this only for information purposes only. There are a couple small convenience stations within 10-15 minutes. My family loved our stay at the Shangri-La!!

We had an amazing time at Smith Mountain Lake and at this home. We had 5 adults and one child and this home was the perfect size! We loved the views and the location was really easy to find when were out boating. The house had everything we needed and was clean and well maintained. We would love to come back in the future.

Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a house on a lake

Perfect home for family and perfect sunsets. Furnishings are up to date and in great condition. Location- Location- Location! Friendly neighbors and great outdoor space with dock and Cove. Owners were just terrific and very responsive. Highly recommend in every way!

I was initially hesitant about renting a townhome versus a single-family home but we couldn't have been happier with our stay. The home is beautiful with every amenity that you could want. It was very cozy, everything was sparkling clean! The icing on the cake was the situation of the home for sunsets. I was dozing in one of the recliners and actually woken up by the entire room turning bright orange!!! By far the best sunset we have ever seen and it lasted about 45 minutes! Amazing! The owner was very accommodating and if I had a question I received a response nearly immediately. I would absolutely rent Shangri La again and have already recommended it to many friends.

The Townhouse is very comfortable and convenient. Close to Marina and the lake is out your back door. It very nicely equipped with furniture and kitchen items. We had a great time.

My family enjoyed a great stay at SML! The condo location was perfect. The cove was super easy to boat in and out of, as well as, paddle boarding and swimming. The condo had everything we needed! Would highly recommend it and plan to visit again!

We had so much fun. It was peaceful and quiet. We rented a pontoon boat and fished and swam. You could do that right off the dock at the house as well, which we did also. The only down side about Virginia in general is, there were no good restaurants nearby except for one Mexican place. If you are looking for a fast pace vacation this is not it. This was bonding time with my family. Great time. Thank you so much for your beautiful home.
