About this house rental
Imagine arriving at a vacation destination where someone has taken care of all the details for you. The Fun Spot 3 is your total turnkey experience so all you need to do is show up and wind down!
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES ABOUND: A Fun Spot 3 vacation includes all you need for maximum fun - 8 kayaks, 4 paddleboards, lifejackets of all sizes, and numerous water toys so your entire group can be enjoying all the lake has to offer. In case you want to rent a boat, get your fishing supplies, it couldn’t be easier. Parkway Marina is right next door. Or if you choose to bring your own boat, the Parkway Marina boat ramp is as convenient of a boat launch that you can get. Dock your boat on our fully renovated 2300 sq ft dock with a 27’ long floating dock.
You will be the envy of all other vacationers while you spend your days on our newly renovated dock, with the addition of the dock house/bar, five separate seating areas, and a resort-style over-the water hammock. We’ve installed ceiling fans to keep you cool on hot summer days. Enjoy your favorite music on the dock with our new SONOS 6-speaker system. You decide what music plays from your own favorite smartphone playlists.
No need to go in once the sun goes down, The Fun Spot 3 provides outdoor living at it’s best with lighting on the dock, patio, and deck spaces to keep the fun going on into the night. Flood lights installed to fully illuminate the water while you continue swimming or lounging on your favorite water chair! And if you are the unfortunate one that has to take a work call or log in…for just a “minute”…no need to run up to the house, the high speed 1GB internet speed will keep you connected while you enjoy the best “office” views of wide water and mountains.
SPACIOUS INDOORS: Need to accommodate several families? Each bedroom has its own private bathroom and outdoor space for personal relaxation.
Need to entertain kids of all ages? Between the air hockey, foosball, ping pong and pool tables, the arcade, the dedicated gamer station, and the theater room, we’ve got you covered.
CHEF SPACE: Need to feed your own small army? Our recently renovated kitchen, dining room, and living area have been designed specifically to meet the needs of large groups. We’ve doubled everything -- ovens, dishwashers, ice makers, and refrigerators -- and added a 12-foot island, tons of pantry storage, and seating for 20 to meet your large group’s needs. Whether you cook inside on an oversized 6 burner cooktop and three ovens or outside on the deck at the BBQ island which contains a 5 burner XL BBQ, two-burner cook-top, and refrigerator, you won’t need to go far for your food or favorite beverage.
UNIQUE LAKE LIVING: There simply is not another vacation home on the lake that offers the combination of wide water and mountain views, activities, luxurious outdoor living, entertainment, and comfortable accommodations for large groups. The Fun Spot 3 offers over 5,600 square feet of spacious luxury with unparalleled wide water and direct mountain views. The outdoor living spaces – dock, deck, and patio enjoy panoramic east to west sun all day long, and cool evening shade making for a comfortable outdoor dining experience each night.
All our updates and renovations were designed to provide your group with a variety of comfortable gathering spaces, both inside the home and outdoors, where you will undoubtedly make memories for years to come. This location is ideal in many ways from the wide water and mountain views, quiet nights at the end of the peninsula, and if that isn't enough, then come the Fourth of July ideal "Front Row Seats" for the spectacular, and well known, Parkway Marina/Saunders Volunteer Fire Department Fireworks Show! (SMLfireworks.org) Fireworks are launched right in front of you from just across the cove as you take it all in from the comforts of the deck, patio, dock, or even indoor seating areas!
Driveway can accomodate approximately 14 cars.
Dock/Watersports:
The oversized 2300 sq ft. dock provides options for gathering with five different seating areas. The fun continues with kayaks and stand-up paddle boards, plus a variety of floaties allowing you to lounge in the lake amongst your family and friends with your favorite cold drink.
Fun and Games:
The entertainment room/lower level is all about gathering for fun and games. The home theater provides two rows of oversized leather recliners, the third row provides bar stool seating which allows you to watch the TV, dine on some food, while you wait for your game table to play! The arcade table makes for some rowdy competition with 25+ of your favorite nostalgic arcade games, including Ms. Pac Man and Donkey Kong and so many more. More friendly competition happens around the foosball table, air hockey table, darts, and outdoor ping pong table. The wet bar provides bar seating for 8, a full size refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. Now imagine all of this entertainment and fun with the 5 speaker SONOS sound system filling the room with your own music playlists!
Out on the “upper” patio, off of the lower level entertainment room you can enjoy hours of Connect Four, Jenga, Ping Pong, and Corn Hole tournaments...rain or shine…night or day… since their is a lighted ceiling overhead with fans to cool you down on a nice warm day or evening!
Bring your competitive spirit up to the main floor, where you’ll enjoy the FS3 Taproom - our billiards room with bar, beverage refrigerator, and built in ice maker for hours of fun and laughter. Or if you prefer play to the backdrop of your own music once again with the Pool Room SONOS speaker.
Outdoor Living:
The expanded deck (1250 sq ft) provides you with ample gathering spaces with unobstructed mountain and wide water views. Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck or screened-in shaded porch, both provide comfortable seating options. Grab your favorite dinner prepared on an oversized, built in, 5 Burner gas grill, double burner cook-top and don't forget to grab your favorite beverage from the BBQ island beverage refrigerator. Just steps away from the BBQ serving island your family and friends can all comfortably gather together to share a meal all together in a spacious, 20 seat dining area that enjoys early evening shade for your dining pleasure and plenty of beautiful, scenic views. Two large over-sized, tiltable umbrellas can provide shade during the day.
Steps down from the deck, you’ll find yourself on a beautiful paver "upper" patio with additional seating options. One of which is a resort style “day-bed” lounger set off to the side for a relaxing area to yourself. Make sure to remember to bring your graham crackers and marshmallows for an evening by the firepit on the "lower" patio - a total of over 2,000 sq ft of patio to enjoy the beautiful outdoors and views of Smith Mountain Lake. Yes, we provide plenty of S’mores sticks as well! If that isn't enough different seating area options then add to your list a hammock for your afternoon naps alongside the shoreline to fall asleep to the waves and leave you the most relaxed you’ll feel all year!
If The Fun Spot 3 is still not large enough for everyone, then we have a solution for you. The Fun Spot 3 is located just two miles down the Smith Mountain Lake Parkway from the popular Fun Spot 2 vacation home, which can also be found on VRBO (Property ID# 1687655).
Sleeping Accommodations:
There are 6 bedrooms with 3 king beds, 3 queens, and 4 twin beds in the main house. The private dockside cottage has a queen bed.
In Fun Spot 3's lower level there is an over-sized bunk room with 2 twin-over-full bunk beds and two queen beds. This room has its own full bath, flat screen smart TV as well, so it makes for a great kids’ domain or for those larger adult gatherings.

Like many tiny homes, a circular staircase provides access to the loft where you will find a queen bed; the lower level has a full bath and full kitchen. The cottage provides convenience for those that like to spend the entire day on the dock. Just a few steps off the dock you can brew your morning coffee, whip up a great lunch, or blend a terrific afternoon cocktail. All of your needs are met, seconds from the water’s edge.

The house was perfect. It was everything and more. The pictures of the house and view did not disappoint. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed to cook with. Bonus was 2 dishwashers and 2 refrigerators in the kitchen. Made meals a breeze. Loved waking up every morning and having coffee on the deck with a beautiful view of the lake to look at. The dock was perfect also. Plenty of room for us all to just hang out on. Only thing we would change is to stay longer.This was just a Labor Day weekend get together and it was to short. Kylor was perfect host. Definitely will book this place again. Thanks again for a great place!!

What an absolutely perfect place to spend time with family! There are quite literal no words for how perfect the property was. It is bigger and more beautiful than the pictures capture, and they had a binder of information laid out for us that was comprehensive and simple. Relaxing and hanging out at the house just happened organically because it is set up perfectly to accommodate larger groups. My kids caught their first little fishes off the dock, we took the kayaks out for a short paddle, and had some drinks at the dock bar. We got married in a private ceremony prior to coming here, and saved our first dance to do on the fire pit area overlooking the lake. Our family was able to be up on the covered patio underneath the deck looking down on us while we danced. You couldn't build a better place for a celebration of family gathering if you tried.

What a great stay! The house was fully stocked and had something for everyone. Great opportunity to shift from work to play without leaving the location. My questions were answered promptly and the owner's followed-up on my questions to make sure everything was taken care of. Definitely recommend staying here for ALL your occasions.

The house was perfect for our small wedding. Beautiful views and plenty of space for the wedding party to stay overnight after the reception. The hosts were very attentive and provided all the info we needed. Would definitely recommend for any occasion!

Home has everything you could want or need for an upscale lake house experience! Beautiful views of Smith Mountain Lake, many gathering spaces and places on 3 levels, 8 kayaks, music system that works throughout the house, movie theater seating, private baths in each room. I could go on and on. The kitchen is well-stocked with 2 refrigerators. Places to get away from the bustle. State Park hikes 3 miles away.

This house is always fantastic and is my kid's favorite vacation of the year. They love the dock, lake access, and the water toys that we have access to. We rent 3-4 properties a year and the Fun Spot locations are always the best run and most welcoming. Love our vacations here.

The house was everything we were hoping and more. The kayaks, paddle boards, and life jackets were all easily accessible and the dock was comfortable and spacious to watch everyone out in the water. The bed rooms were large with comfortable beds and well decorated (unlike other places on the lake). The kitchen, grill, ice makers, dish washers and refrigerators made cooking for a lot of people a breeze. The downstairs game room and movie room entertained all the kids for days. In addition, the hosts were responsive and courteous. Hands down best place for an active group. We loved it!

We had 11 adults using the 6 bedrooms and had a wonderful time. As far as bedrooms, four are outstanding, the other two ( basement bunk and queen and cottage) just ok- would be fine for younger people though. We had a few minor issues with the cottage but Kylor was quick to respond. Having so many kayaks to use was a big highlight for us and it was easy to stay away from the bigger sections where the speed boats were. The kitchen is probably the best stocked of any vrbo I have ever seen. We didn’t use a lot of the game options like air hockey and arcade games but we enjoyed the corn hole and the pool table. The outside seating is so nice and lots of options for sun or shade. Definitely recommend as long as you know the cottage bed has a steep ladder and you have to use that to get down to the bathroom at night. Overall a great place!

My boyfriend and I came here with a group of friends, and our expectations were exceeded by far. The house was spacious, had any amenity you would hope for, including an air fryer, multiple crockpots, all the cookware and utensils you would need and then some. There are a ton of kayaks and paddle boards, making it even more enjoyable to be out on the water. I would come back here in a heartbeat and everyone in the group would agree.

The pictures do not do this property justice - it is FABULOUS. Stunning views and so much outdoor space - from the decks/patios to the dock complex. Extremely spacious and thoughtful design to maximize the experience. They have really thought through the guest experience in every room. The kitchen has multiple dishwashers, fridges, and trash to make large scale meals a breeze. There are games and speakers throughout the house. The bedrooms are comfortable and cozy. And, the media room was a huge hit - was like having a little movie theater in the house. You won't want to leave the property! And, the hosts were communicative, helpful, and flexible. Overall, an amazing experience!

Kylor was very helpful with information about the house leading up to our stay and during the stay. We were holding a special event at this household.
He was readily available to answer questions about the property and features that we were concerned about.
We spoke on the phone multiple times to insure a great and easy visit.
The house is amazing, with beautiful views of the lake and mountains from the balconies. Stunning newly renovated dock, with plenty of activities provided. Dock house is what you’d imagine what a dock house would be.
The basement is full of fun, theater room, bar area, table games, and the SONOS sound system was a nice touch and easy to use.
The fire pit with plenty of provided wood was a plus.
The rooms and bathrooms are spacious. The kitchen is very large and provided plenty of features for cooking.
One very important missing factor of the house is that it does not have a backup generator on the property.
The trip happened to fall in line with Hurricane Ian showing up unexpectedly to the special event.
The power was knocked out the night we arrived and lasted for 12hrs into the morning. The house is on an electric water pump, so that meant no power and no water (which means no flushing toilets) - could have been a deal breaker for this planned special event.
Kylor was readily available to be contacted, and we texted back and forth knowing that we both did not have any immediate solutions. He was able to source a generator locally, but that didn’t mean the roads were clear of any debris. A large tree had fallen up the street less than a mile from the property, keeping us from traveling.
The house is located deep into SML, with lots of tall old trees hovering above power lines. A house of this magnitude that houses 16 people and allows events should have a backup generator on the property.
Overall, the special event went on and things were as they were.
Again, Nature is unpredictable but being prepared isn’t.

It was perfect with the six bedrooms. Love the set up and design. Really enjoyed all the games outside, especially the pool table inside. Kitchen utensils were awesome.
Only downs were the sofa was not comfortable and the dock had only one side for boat security. Need more cleats to dock since you can’t use boat lift.
Upstairs first front bedroom/bathroom the shower Faucet leaked and wouldn’t cut off. The exust fan/tub light did not work.

Amazing Family Vacation
I have to say that this home and its owners are awesome. There were 16 of us and there was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was spacious and having 2 refrigerators, 2 ice makers and another refrigerator downstairs was perfect. We managed to fill them all up including the fridge in the outdoor kitchen and at the dock. The views were incredible! The dock was our favorite place to hang out. Plenty of seating as well as Kayaks and space for our boat. The kids loved the hanging chairs. We used the fire pit for s’mores, the kids had a blast. The lower deck was full of seating and fun games. The lower level was great for the kids to spread out and play. They loved the theatre seating for cartoons and movies. We all had our own rooms with private bathrooms. We have stayed at SML for our Family Vacation before and this home was by far the best ever. All in all we made so many amazing memories and we will definitely be coming back!

What a great Experience
Kylor and Susan Have thought of everything!
The home was beautifully appointed and obviously great attention was given to just about any amenity that would enhance our visit to the lake. Our visit was a surprise for my wife's 60th birthday with our children and grandchildren as part of that surprise. We can't thank Kylor and Susan enough for giving so much thought and care toward making our stay at their home a very big part of a memory we'll never forget!
Awesome experience. Thanks so much you both!

Will be back again
Kylor was the SO gracious host ever. He met every request we asked for to make our wedding day perfect. The home is immaculate, every guest thought it was breathtaking and we had everything we needed. We could not ask for a better place or a better day for a wedding. We are already talking about family reunions at this house.

Spectacular house
If you’re looking for an incredible rental, you’re in the right place. We went for an office retreat and it was incredible. I hardly wanted to go to bed at night because I wanted to soak up every single second. Beautiful home full of everything you could ever need. I hope to make this a yearly spot to stay..the only thing I wish was that our stay was longer! We made memories of a life time.

What an amazing venue! The views are priceless and the accommodations are first rate all the way through. This is the ideal place for larger groups. We spent hours on the lake and the paddle boards, kayaks, and floats were in constant use. The host was very timely and informative in communications. By far one of our best VRBO experiences.

Brilliant house for a family reunion
We spent a week with extended family at Fun Spot 3 in August. It was the perfect location and setting for our family -- during which we had a memorial service for a family member lost over the past year. A beautiful setting, great location, and lots of places to relax, games to play, and dock to lounge on/swim off of. Kylor and family were extremely accommodating and communicative. Well done.

Family Fun at SML
This house is aptly named as there is a lot of fun to be had here! Our 3 generation family, ranging from 8 months to 75 years-old, all enjoyed the amenities, kayaks, floats and fun games the house has to offer. The shaded deck and patio allow you to enjoy the amazing view throughout the day. The water was great for boating, floating, fishing and fun, in a relatively private area. The kitchen was well organized and well stocked. The multiple refrigerators, dish washers and ice makers made for seamless meal prep. Having an en suite bathroom for every bedroom allowed for privacy, with plenty of room to spread out and gather as a family. Kylor was super responsive and easy to work with. When I inquired if there was a cupcake tin prior to arrival, he said he knew he had stocked one at the beginning of the season, but just to be sure he bought a brand new one and had it there waiting for us! It was a great weekend at SML!

The best
This is our fourth year renting on SML and this property was the best by far. The location couldn’t be better with views of the mountains and right on the main part of the lake. It is very well appointed with modern kitchen appliances, ample dishes and even dish soap, laundry detergent, etc. The owners were responsive to my questions and both the check in and check out processes were smooth. The layout for our family was ideal with four “adult” bedrooms each with their own bathroom. The downstairs is perfect for kids with lots of beds and their own theater. The outdoor space is also well thought out with plenty of places to sit and lots of shade. We immediately reserved a week for next year as we finally feel like we found the perfect property to rent each summer for our lake week.

Super vacation at Smith Mountain Lake
The property exceeded all expectations. The property was immaculate upon our arrival and offered every imaginable convenience. Prior to, during, and after our stay the owner was responsive to our every need, courteous, and helpful. I have rented vacation homes for family getaways in the past from Nantucket to South Carolina - this property was unquestionably the best.

Wonderful Lakefront Vacation Property
This is truly a wonderful lake side vacation property. Upon arrival the home was even better than expected. The view of the lake is spectacular and whether hiking or boating (the dock is fully stocked with water toys) or watching deer cross the yard, the location is absolutely perfect. Kylor and his team were great to deal with and extremely accommodating when we had some rather unusual requests. This home is one of those rare rentals where everything is absolutely perfect. Thank you for making this a wonderful and memorable vacation experience for us.

Best Vacation Property Ever!
Fun Spot 3 was the best rental property my family has ever had the pleasure of staying at. Everything was thought of from water toys (Kayaks, paddleboards), activities (ping-pong, pool, darts, cornhole, air hockey), to kitchen utensils (best stocked kitchen). The views and lake/marina access are perfect and make it easy to just arrive and enjoy your time. The fire pit is wonderful to sit around on the cooler lake/mountain nights. The outdoor furniture is amazingly comfortable to sit and enjoy the views. This is my second stay at a Fun Spot location and we have already reserved our third. Cannot wait for our next trip to Smith Mountain Lake.
