I've wanted to rent Dream Come True for many years and the planets FINALLY aligned! It really is a "dream come true!" Great location, zero walk to water, fantastic pet home (fenced in yard and dock configured to prevent escape), comfortable beds, etc! Fantastic week...will definitely be back! THANK YOU for a great week and use of your home! Totally measured up to how great I thought it would be!

Amazing Hosts and property. The house has everything any group would need to include the best stocked Kitchen I have ever seen. We did not need to bring anything. The house is unique and perfect for group interaction or privacy. The decks and outdoor living area is exceptional and filled with water toys, floaters, and kayaks. We also rented and docked a boat here. An ice cream boat came by each evening to deliver ice cream on the dock! We saw deer and baby ducks and enjoyed swimming right off the dock. I could not give this place or the hosts a better recommendation. We will be coming back as soon as we can!

Can’t say enough about this place! Very unique house right on the water! Located in the center of SML near the state park. It’s an easy cruise to Bridgewater Marina or up to the reservoir. Or just enjoy Lake TV while sitting on the deck!
Can’t think of one thing the house didn’t have! Games, puzzles, fire pit, open upper deck, covered tiki bar deck, fully stocked and very functional kitchen, pool table, card table, countless flotation devices. Everything for a fun, relaxing week.
However, the best part of the accommodations is its owner. Have used VRBO around the country for years and have never had such a gracious and available host.
Another great week at SML! Thanks, Ms. Judy!

We really loved our stay at Dream Home.
Peaceful evenings sitting by the beautiful deck, beautiful mornings watching the still waters and listening to the birds.
It is conveniently located near the most beautiful areas of the lake. We really created beautiful memories and looking forward to a new adventure.

Everything from the beginning to the end exceeded my expectations! We were in town for my daughter and her fiancé’s graduation from Liberty University-a total of 10 of us, ages 15-adult.
The property is breathtaking, the house is immaculate and fully furnished, Judy has not spared one expense to make you feel at home; she is so very kind and treats you as family before/during your stay and is readily available if needed. We honestly did not need anything other than our belongings and groceries-everything else was provided. We will ABSOLUTELY be back!

Highly Recommend
Obviously well taken care of, the home was exceptionally clean, warm and inviting, really felt like our home away from home….kitchen well stocked, well above par for a VRBO, great for dogs and kids, many, many Amenities, caught numerous 1-3 pound large mouth.bass off the dock with artificial bait…the view and exposure off the deck is perfect at all times of the day. On top of it all the owner acts as if shes part of the family, or a concierge, sets everything up and ready easy as can be and offers many suggestions that are not over done just informative and to the point…It was a dream come true indeed.’ Thank you Judy!!!!!!!!!

Our host Judy provided the absolute best support I have ever experienced when renting a vacation property. She was available via text during our stay and happy to help with even the smallest question. The place is loaded with everything you may need for entertainment, including electronics, puzzles, and games. We caught several largemouth and smallmouth bass from the dock using live jumbo minnows, the biggest was 4.5 pounds. We rented a boat from her recommended vendor and he delivered it right to the dock, it was so easy and the ride down to the Dam was so gorgeous! Our group of seven found it the perfect size, we did have some cool and rainy days that made enjoying the outdoors impossible. Our only concern was that the inside dining table is smallish and can only accommodate 6 people, forcing the seven of us to split up for our family dinners with the kids at the adjacent kitchen bar. We made so many memories on this stay and fully expect this to become a new family tradition. We are already looking forward to returning next year.

Incredible Lake Home
We had an incredible time at this gorgeous lake home. Thoughtful touches of a full coffee bar and nook was great for early risers and the downstairs game room was perfect for late nighters. Spent a lot of time in the deck overlooking the lake. You’re literally sitting on top of the water!
So many perks and owners extremely kind and very responsive. We highly recommend this property!

Judy was amazing through the entire process. From check in to helping us with places to go etc. We all had such a fabulously relaxing time. It has a very home like feel and of course being on the water was amazing. So much room, teens had a ball kayaking and fishing. My dog even loved it! It was our first time at SML and can’t wait to go back! We also got engaged! Beautiful scenery and made lots of wonderful memories.

Relaxing get away weekend
The house was a relaxing get away for a group of 8 with plenty of room to spread out. We were there in April for a long weekend, the shoulder season, with one very rainy day, but we’re still able to enjoy kayaking, renting a pontoon boat, and walking through the nearby state park. Judy provided all the basics such as napkins, spices, hand soap, etc and lots of advice on the area, making it convenient. She was readily accessible and stayed in touch. Would highly recommend.

Family Christmas 2020
We needed a place mid-way between where we live & where my parents live in order to be able to celebrate Christmas as a family as we have done for more than two decades. Judy was fantastic to work with in the lead up to the holiday. Her lake home was the perfect place for us to relax and enjoy being together as a family. It is a beautiful home as well as being comfortable and well laid out. We had a wonderful time and hope to be able to return in warmer weather to enjoy the lake.

Dream Come True is a wonderful home right on the water making the views from the house really special including exceptional sunset views. The updated, well equipped kitchen was a real plus since we did A LOT of cooking including our Thanksgiving feast. The master suite is really luxurious and all the bathrooms are beautifully updated. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful. She answered all our questions, made great suggestions and helped us find resources available in the off-season. It was an all around great experience.

Perfect getaway
This property couldn’t have been better. The house was clean, comfortable, and centrally located to what we were interested in doing. We’ve stayed in a lot of rentals over the years, and What makes this one of our favorite places is the extras that Judy provides. From coffee and creamer to all of the fun activities in the house for a rainy day, there couldn’t be a better rental.

Amazing Views and House
Dream Come True was a wonderful property. The house was super clean, beds were comfortable, and had a great kitchen with all the amenities our family of 4 + dog could ever need. While mother nature brought historic flooding to Smith Mountain Lake the weekend we happened to be there, we still enjoyed our fall getaway. Jude, the owner, was very communicative during our stay, which is much appreciated. The top deck was our favorite spot and the sunset views were beautiful. And even with high water levels, we got out on the kayaks to enjoy the lake. Thanks for a great house/location! We wouldn't hesitate to rent again!

Incredible house!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about this property. Every amenity you could ever need or want was available for use. The kitchen was fully stocked and the pool table/ping pong table was a huge hit with everyone. We loved relaxing on the deck at sunset waiting for the ice cream boat to come by! The location is ideal as it's close to Bridgewater marina, as well as several restaurants/grocery stores. The local wineries were right around the corner too! Judy, the owner, is amazing to work with and we would highly recommend her house!

Great location, lovely home
We stayed for a long weekend in mid-October. It’s a wonderful time to be at the lake - very quiet and serene. The home is (literally) on the water and the deck was the most popular spot in the whole house. Judy provided us with plenty of info, including boat rentals, and that was a huge highlight for all. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need and more. All in all, a lovely home at a beautiful location.

Amazing for humans and canines alike, in and out of the water!
Having stayed at many houses at Smith Mountain Lake, "Dream Come True!" was exceptionally clean, completely stocked with amenities, and lovingly maintained. And we are clean freaks! Not a speck of dust or dog hair was found anywhere. You have an exceptional home Judy! Being able to bring our two dogs to enjoy the comfort, views, and wide water with us was what made our "dream come true" on this vacation because our dogs are family. Being able to enjoy the beautiful setting with your dogs inside the house, on the dock (which is gated/fenced), or in the spacious fenced-in dog yard is extremely unique and we found it to be perfect for our family. We all can't wait to visit again soon now that we've found our home away from home!

Amazing!
We had an amazing time at this house! Perfect location overlooking the lake and a beautiful view. The house was very clean, plenty of room for everyone, the house has everything you need like life jackets, floats, kayaks, speakers on the back dock to play music, this really is the perfect house if you enjoy being outside. We would love to go back for a longer stay next time :)
