About this house rental
Journeys End brings you into your own private cove side paradise. Privacy surrounds you on every side of this magnificent Tudor waterfront property. Our home offers the perfect place for the luxury lake experience. You won't be looking at other homes but instead over two acres of pristine woods and an expansive 300 foot waterfront area with a huge gentle sloping lawn and gorgeous views of the lake from both the deck and dock area. You will feel like you have your own private park. The swimming area is ideal because it is protected from boat traffic and you can float to your hearts desire without floating away. Our water front has a great floating dock and stationary dock with all Trex, and a sandy beach area. When you are ready to put your feet up you can sit in the huge hot tub, or choose one of 3 decks or the lakeside dock area. Enjoy exploring the lake as you cruise the shoreline in our four complimentary kayaks or two paddle boards. At night enjoy our complimentary firewood and the lakeside fire pit area to roast your marshmallows. Every detail has been taken care of, and the quality of the home, appliances, and furnishings are unmatched. The expansive kitchen is fully equipped and your family can enjoy meals together around the large oak table with seating for ten. Granite countertops and high end large and small appliances are available for you to use. Watch movies together in the expansive great room with cathedral ceilings which can seat ten plus people. Children will enjoy the state of the art game room which can be found downstairs next to the children's bedroom. They will enjoy the ultimate gaming experience as they sit in surround sound gaming chairs to play Playstation 3, bring their own gaming system or watch DVD's. Battle it out as you enjoy playing a family tournament on the air hockey or foosball table. You will find high speed internet and Wi-Fi throughout the home. This home offers over 3,500 sq. feet of living space with 5 large bedrooms including a huge master suite and attached bedroom. There are 3 bathrooms, one on every floor and a half bath off the deck. Located right off the main channel of Craddock's Creek you are in a protected cove, but only a cove away from the most beautiful part of Smith Mountain Lake. The location is ideal and only a short drive to all the restaurants, boutiques, and grocery stores. There is plenty of parking for as many vehicles as you wish and plenty of room for your boat trailer. So be the first to let your journeys end be here in our cove side paradise.

We went for a quiet girls trip and could not have found a better place to stay! The property was clean and comfortable and had everything we need and more. The views of the lake were stunning and we were even able to get out on the property’s kayaks and paddle boards in November. The kitchen was a great size and well stocked. All of us hope to return in the future!

The kids and adults loved the kayaking, swimming and fishing. Sadly, we got rained out on Sunday, but we do need the rain so I won't complain. House was very nice!

We had a great time staying here. The house was clean, the property was well maintained and there was plenty of room for everyone. Plenty of parking as well. The dock was awesome and had plenty of space and furniture for everyone to sit and hang out. We will definitely be going back!

Wonderful week with family - very quiet cove with clear water for swimming. Kitchen had everything we needed and second fridge in the garage came in handy. Loved being able to have all of us fit at the dining table for dinner! Enjoyed hanging out on the dock and making 'smores by the fire pit.

We rented Journey's End for a family reunion and had a wonderful time. We are all siblings and our spouses - all of us are seniors - and this place was perfect for our stay. We enjoyed using the kayaks, the paddle boards, the dock & the fire pit. There are plenty of comfortable bedrooms for the 7 of us and multiple places for dining on the deck & kitchen. The kitchen is well supplied with dishes, cooking equipment, and anything you may need.
Thank you to our hosts for a very special stay!

We were celebrating my 50th birthday and we had a blast! Everything was top notch and we had so much space to congregate. We are already planning for next spring! Perfect for a family or friend group.

Beautiful property with all you need for great vacation
We rented the property for the Memorial weekend for three families with kids. The house sits on a nice sloping lawn with beautiful water view. Location on the water is quiet, no boats or jetskis were around, the property provides all you may need on the water - paddle boards, kayaks, some water toys, noodles, floaties, kids thoroughly enjoyed the lake. The dock has very nice sitting furniture. The house was clean, kitchen stocked with all kind of utensils, spices, food processors, bedrooms are spacious with good quality matresses. One note - one bedroom with two twins is off the master bedroom, i.e. it's bedroom inside master bedroom, would work for a close family, but not necessarily for friends. Worked for us great, but thought to make a note of this configuration. Our favorite space was deck with huge dining table and several sitting arrangements with beautiful views over the water and sunset. This is the house where all basic and beyond basic necessities were provided, saves time on shopping. Communication with the owners was very effective and Nancy was very helpful. We loved the house and hope to be back again!

Fall Weekend
Oh it was WONDERFUL!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We wished we had longer. The views were beautiful and we loved the area of the lake in our own private cove it felt. Fire pit right along the water and private little ‘beach’. We enjoyed the dock and sunshine all day Saturday, after morning hot tub!
Plenty of space for groups and families. Great kitchen equipped with everything you need!

Life IS better at the lake!
Let me say Nancy is a dream to work with. She handled all of my concerns, even the crazy ones, like a pro. Journeys End is everything they say it is and then some. The pictures do not do justice to the beauty of their property. You truly won’t want for anything. The cove is so peaceful & SML is beautiful. We opted to rent a boat for the week, but there’s plenty to enjoy without one. After decades of vacationing at the beach, we were converted. We had such an amazing time and look forward to returning next year.

Great getaway
This was a long awaited trip that we were looking forward too and it was worth the wait. The house and amenities were fantastic. The kids loved all the outdoor activities. We 100% recommend renting from Nancy and Charles. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

EXCELLENT STAY
This home is beautiful and had absolutely everything we needed. Everything was clean and looked exactly as it did on the listing. The cove was quiet and beautiful and the neighbors were very pleasant as well. We were only there for the weekend, but I wish we had booked extra days. Communication with the owner/host was wonderful. As an added plus, there was also great reception there and the wifi worked well! (**we had teenage kids...you know how that goes). The lot was beautiful, with a small downward slope. Very manageable. Had it been warmer, we would have been able to enjoy ALLLLLL of the kayaks and paddleboards. I can't say enough good things about this rental. If the opportunity arises again, we will be back!!!

Amazing stay!!
Great place to stay with plenty of room. My family and I came to surprise my daughter for her 21st birthday. She loved the place and enjoyed herself, we all did especially the hot tub! Nancy was great to work with. You won't be disappointed if you stay there.

Great weekend getaway!
The house was a great spot for a yearly group trip and very cozy and private. The house had everything we needed and really appreciate the linen service and cleaning being all rolled into the stay. We picked this house because of all the amenities and convenience! Only thing I would change is yard was very very damp and slippery and lack of door locks. The space was perfect we’d def stay there again and that huge family room and tv and giant table in kitchen was outstanding! If you could make one of the twin rooms a queen I think more couples could enjoy their stay just a tad bit more! But this was a fabulous trip! Thank you Nancy for being so attentive throughout the process!

Beautiful and Fully Equipped!!!
What a joy it was to stay at this property! The property was beautiful and the home was fully equipped with toys, kitchen supplies, and all the extras which really lends itself to a great time even it rains. We would definitely stay at this property or one of Nancy’s other properties in the future. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to stay at your property! We look forward to visiting again!

Wonderful escape!
This place is such a gem. We had a great week enjoying the beautiful views of the lake, the fantastic dock setup, the kayaks, the fire pit, and the hot tub! The inside of the house is spacious and comfy and the well-equipped kitchen made meal prep easy. The internet signal was good--my husband and I worked and my kids did their distance learning with no problems. The owner was extremely helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing lake retreat
Our entire family (three generations) loved Journey's End! The house and property were exactly as pictured. We especially loved the location - private cove with easy access to a beautiful part of the lake. The kids (and grown ups) loved jumping off the dock and relaxing on the great mats provided. We rented a boat for the week and took the kids on a pirate adventure one day! The house was wonderful! We especially loved the outdoor space. The weather was quite hot and humid all week. We would have loved to have spent more time relaxing and eating on the beautiful deck. The house was very well equipped and we especially loved that sheets and towels were provided. We also loved the welcome gift of s'mores ingredients. We enjoyed making them in the firepit area. Would love to come back to Journey's End again. Thank you for providing such a welcoming home!

Ideal Lake Vacation
What a great stay we had! This property is ideally situated on a quiet cove, where the main lake is easily accessible, but the house and dock are private. The house setup is excellent for kids--the dock and beach are viewable from both the deck and the kitchen, so its easy to keep an eye on the kids while they are swimming. Moreover, the house is extremely well-equipped, notably in the kitchen. Anytime we wanted to cook something, we'd open a drawer or cabinet and find the utensil or pan or appliance we needed. Nancy and Charles were very helpful when we spoke with them, referring us for boat rentals and such. All in all, this was an excellent vacation home and we would absolutely stay here again next time we come to SML. Thank you!

Peaceful Cove
We enjoyed this property. The peaceful cove was perfect for jumping off the docks, playing on the beach, and starting your day with a quiet cup of coffee. This home offered everything you need for a home away from home... everything you need for cooking for a large family is available in the kitchen, board games & building blocks on hand for a rainy day, stocked laundry room, and of course floats, paddle boards, & kayaks for the lake. We enjoyed it all!

Fantastic Home and Hosts!
Great property in a beautiful quiet cove! Every detail was covered in this meticulously cared for home. Thank you for a great week spent with family! We've rented two different homes from this owner and highly recommend any property that they own! We will be back for sure. Thank-you!

Great lakehouse getaway!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Journey's End. Beautiful home, beautiful backyard to the lake, beautiful view of the lake. Love the use of the kayaks and the dock area was wonderful to sit and read a book or to play or watch the sunset. The owners had smore supplies for us to use around the fire pit area also! Lots of appliances and kitchen tools etc. Loved it here!!

Awesome lakeside home with everything you may need for a great stay.
Had a great fishing weekend with family and friends. We tied up a bass and pontoon rental at the dock and spent some time in the evening fishing and just hanging around the fire pit. Very quite and relaxing. Everyone enjoyed the stay.

Great home, beautiful location!
We visited in early spring and had great weather to enjoy the wonderful outdoor space of this home, from the gathering space on the dock to the backyard, to the hot tub, to the back deck! Inside, the home had everything we needed for a group of 9 to eat and relax together. The kitchen was well appointed and the house was generally comfortable!

Beautiful property! Perfect quiet anniversary getaway! Loved the location!
Stayed early December so was too cold, but would have loved to kayak around the lake. Everything was thought of and provided for us. The beds were so soft and comfortable-slept like a dream. The hot tub was wonderful and really enjoyed relaxing under the stars. Would love to come back one summer with our family!!!!

Thanksgiving at Smith Mountain Lake
We had a wonderful time at SML with some of our family for the Thanksgiving holiday. The house was beautiful, spacious and so very well equipped. Everything worked perfectly. Nancy and Charles were great to work with. Obviously too cold for water sports, but we enjoyed the decks and the views and the outside grill. Gathering spaces were more than large enough for our ten.

Fantastic vacation
Had a fantastic trip to Smith Mountain Lake and this home was fabulous. Located in a quiet cove where you could relax and fish off dock. Charles and Nancy thought about everything you could possibly need during your stay to make you feel welcome..like they were hosting you and your family personally. I can’t wait to stay next year. Thanks!
