The house provided us with enough space, a great location and many amenities. We hope to stay again next year.

This was probably our most favorite rental house ever! The ease of getting to the lake, the shade of the boat house all day with the fans allowed for my elderly parents to sit and watch us in the water comfortably all day. So many king bedroom suites made it possible for everyone to be happy. The layout of the house is perfect for those with dogs. The mudroom and extra fridge are perfect. The kitchen has been remodeled and is a dream! The playroom downstairs was well thought out and the hot tub is amazing. We loved everything about this place! Clean, cozy and a great house.

My advice- rent through Long and Foster Realtors directly instead of going through VRBO. VRBOs processing fees are too high.

Perfect place for our family get-together! Beautiful & well-maintained backyard, gorgeous covered dock for relaxing, excellent views!. Spacious bedrooms, plenty of parking, nice kitchen. Every common area was easily able to accommodate the 10 of us. Hot tub was great, too, and the property was set up nicely for the our dog. Would definitely go again!

It was wonderful and beautiful. The house was well equipped. The only thing I would suggest is pointing out in the listing that there is an open staircase. We installed baby gates but still felt a little panicked when they went down the hall toward the stairs. ( we followed them every time). Also the propane was out and we did not realize it until the chicken did not cook. So my pro tips are : travel with baby gates if traveling with little ones check the propane before attempting to cook on the grill. I would book this home again.

Family vacation this year was 7 adults and 3 boys. ( 13,13,10 ages) Everyone loved the house. The house was very clean and spacious . The HVAC worked great ! Plenty of dishes and cookwear . The extra fridge was great for the water and soda overflow. My son in law was not on the dock 5 mins before he caught a 5lb bass . We spent a lot of time at the covered dock which was great , We spend many hours sitting and fishing . The boys had a blast fishing . We brought our Yorkie and he loved it as much as we did . The house is VERY pet friendly . The house is set up to leave your pet there and not worry about them getting into anything .Going back next year . I would highly recommend this house . A+

Beautiful water views from every bedroom, great dock and boat house, and the hot tub is a plus! Shoot a game of pool, go for a swim or just kick back on one of the decks or the dock. The fire pit with fully-stocked wood pile is a nice touch. We hope to be back again!

It was a wonderful property with lots of ammenities and a great view Only issue was one of the canoe had a hole and cause a little problem with the water being soo cold

Small party of family and friends along with two dogs spent Thanksgiving at this property. The house was perfect for three couples and one single adult. We enjoyed the well appointed game room and watched football all together in the main floor family room. Enjoyed morning coffee and amazing lake views from the upper deck. A short drive to nearby grocery store and local dining. Would definitely consider this property for a summer lake trip as well!

The house was as shown in the photos. The property was well kept and welcoming. The kitchen has ample dishes and glasses however the pots and fry pans were limited and might be due to be replaced soon.

Yearly Family Gathering
Dancing Water was wonderful beyond expectations! The house had everything we could ever need and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked and perfect for meal prep and cooking. Lots of comfortable furniture. The best parts of this house were the back decks and the dock. We spent so much time gathered together chatting and swimming and getting caught up on family news while relaxing with our cold drinks in the Adirondack chairs. The dock allowed for easy docking of the boat, and we loved having access to the kayaks and canoe. Five Stars for sure!!!

This property was perfect in every aspect. We’ve been to SML 3 times before this and this has easily been our favorite house. It has everything you need. Entertainment inside and outside. Beautiful views and property. Will definitely be back in the future!

This was our second year at Smith Mountain Lake but first year at Dancing Water. This is a wonderful property and nicely located in a private but convenient cove. We had our wakeboard boat in the boat house for the duration of our stay and I never felt uneasy about its safety and security here. The amenities of the home suited our family just fine. From the very nice boat house to the hot tub, pool table and furnishings. Both the cleanliness of the house and the well-kept grounds/landscaping were appreciated. Only one minor complaint and that is that then kitchen knives were not sharp. Next year we'll remember to bring a couple of our own :)
All said, we most certainly be returning this home next year!

LOVED our stay!
I can not say enough positive things about our stay at Dancing Water and SML. The house was perfect for the 10 of us, the lake was amazing, and we loved our time spent with family and friends. I have a feeling we will be back!

The house and property are beautiful and convenient to food, beverage, and other needs/wants. Lots of space to find quiet time away and not have to be on top of each other. Proximity to the water a huge bonus!

Great location. Large, beautiful house with amazing views! We appreciated the hot tub and kayaks and gentle slope to the water.

This is a beautiful property on a quite cove! The house is very well stocked and plenty of room to spread out!
We only had a few suggestions: for a house this size there could be a second full size refrigerator in the mud room. Also, it may be time to evaluate/replace mattresses - they had some major depressions! Overall - these did not impact our stay and we would stay again!

Hot Tub had not been cleaned so we lost 1/2 use during our stay of 4 nights (would not have been a big deal but the kids were really looking forward to it). Cable / TV did not work during the entire stay. Very cool backyard and deck / dock. New clean grill. The property agent is awesome. Super responsive.

I booked this home for a weekend with my family combining family members from 3 different states. The home was clean, spacious, and very well equipped. The bedrooms were large and even with 10 of us we were comfortable. The amenities were great other than one jet in the hot tub that didn’t work. I would forewarn the sound carries in that house so those that tries to go to bed early or sleep in could hear all of the activity in the house. It’s worth it for the beautiful open floor plan. We would definitely stay again!

The home was perfect, clean, well stocked and exactly as the listing. Working with Long and Foster couldn't have been easier, so professional and available.
We had pool and foosball tournaments, sat by the fire by the lake and just enjoyed the ease of the home and all the toys available.
We'll definitely be back!

Dancing Water was perfect for our family get away. The lot and house are well taken care of, and everyone enjoyed the view of the lake, sitting on the dock, and gathering around the fire pit. We really appreciated mudroom, it was the perfect place for the dog bowls to be out of the way, the deck gate was a nice touch so that our pup could safely enjoy watching the birds and squirrels. Would definitely return.

Beautiful home, perfect for our family trip, ages 88 to 9 months! Great location on lake, close by boat to marinas and the state park where grandkids enjoyed a day at the sandy beach. Spend a lot of time swimming at the dock, around the fire pit and in the hot tub. The relatively flat lot was nice for the dogs and little ones. The kitchen is well stocked, including basic cleaning supplies, coffee filters, spices and a few staples. Gorgeous sunrises at the dock too!
