This is a nice, cozy home that sleeps 8 (which is great differentiator - when I looked, a lot of homes even though they have plenty of space and rooms, only want to sleep a max of 6). View was beautiful. Game tables in the basement were a big hit with our kids and ended up having a family tournament the last night there. We utilized the private boat dock for fishing and briefly docking a rental pontoon boat. (Warning: it’s pretty shallow there and the neighbor’s dock is pretty close - might be a hairy situation if you’re not experienced bringing boats into dock.) The place was pretty clean, with a couple quibbles that led me to deduct one star overall, but nothing that was a show stopper. We had one complaint related to the master bedroom, and we couldn’t use it for one night of our stay. To their credit, Vacasa staff took care of it the next day, and they made it right with a partial refund for one night for one bedroom, which felt fair. Made friends with the neighbors. Overall, this is a nice lake home that enabled us to have a lovely family vacation. I believe we got fair value for our money and time, and I felt like Vacasa and the home owners were fair to us. I therefore recommend this property.

Enjoyed our stay! Family of 5 - house is well described in the listing. We fit comfortably in the house; rented a boat and jet ski and used the kayaks and could easily get out on the lake from this great location; nice kitchen table for evening board games and lovely porch for morning tea!

The home met our basic needs for a place to stay. It was comfortable and clean. I’ll be at a bit dated. Vacasa was very responsive and immediate with their response. The one time I reached out to them about the extended stay. We had a great time. Smiles on the faces of my grandkids, and their parents was worth every penny. I spent on renting this home.

We loved it! Perfect for our family with different ages. People could be in different places! We loved walking to the end of the road and seeing all the deer and bunnies! Swimming was great! A few more pots and pans and cooking utensils would help and the info that I would get from Vacasa was different than what was on the fridge. Info should match!!! We really did have a wonderful time! Thank you!

Positives: The location is great, the home has its own dock, beautiful view of the lake, and minutes away from Smith Mountain Lake State Park. The grill on the deck facing the lake was awesome. Needs Improvement: While the kitchen is well stocked with plates and utensils, the state they were found in was disappointing. They were noticeably still greasy/dirty. The grill on the deck is great but it was also found dirty. We were provided with a “starter kit” for toilet paper. We had a group of 8 people and it wasn’t enough for the weekend. I understand why they wouldn’t provide an unlimited supply but I think they should at least be able to supply for a short weekend trip. Additionally, there is a coffee machine but no filter so you also have to bring your own. They don’t provide enough kitchen towels either. The A/C upstairs for the two smaller bedrooms is not efficient, we had trouble sleeping due to it. The queen bed in the smallest bedroom is so uncomfortable. It needs to be replaced, there’s a large dip and they tried covering it with a mattress topper. We slept on the couch the last night due to the bed/AC making it difficult to get sleep. Accessibility Considerations: The stairs are very narrow. One of us fell down the stairs. Take extra precaution with kids or elderly. ****Overall I would only recommend if you are looking to do a lot of lake activities and don’t mind an older outdated home with limited supplies. Having your own dock is very convenient and overall proximity to lake is the biggest attraction with this location.

Nice and relaxing. Very accommodating

The house is dated but the decor is really trendy and cute. There’s No extra things like paper towels, trash bags, tinfoil etc….so if you’re relying on anything extra like that being there, it’s not! The kitchen is pretty well stocked with dishes etc…

Nice house, location was quiet and nice. We had a lot of rain, which was a damper. But when the sun came out we were able to enjoy the lake. Accommodations were perfect. Towels were rough and need to be replaced. Grill burners need cleaned. We didn’t have enough towels for everyone, but that was fixed within 24 hours.
