Large, beautiful home with everything you need! Features like washers and dryers, as well as kitchens on each level make this the perfect home for large groups. Luxurious touches include the incredible stone and tile work throughout the home and an expansive master bath, as well as the in-home theatre room (perfect on a rainy day). The outdoor space is gorgeous and the no-wake cove is peaceful.

Lap of Luxury was outstanding! The house is amazing. The no-wake location was convenient to the best part of the lake and calm enough for lots of swimming off the dock. Matthew was responsive to questions and super easy to communicate with. We strongly recommend and will likely be back for our next SML trip.

From the initial contact to check-in and check-out, the communication for this rental was flawless. The house and grounds were meticulously maintained. I highly recommend a stay at Lap of Luxury to anyone wanting to enjoy the very best of lakefront living!
My family and I had a wonderful week. There was plenty of room for everyone to be together as a family and also to enjoy some private time. The kitchen is a cook’s paradise (the Thermador gas range is beyond amazing). The relaxing living areas and the spacious dining area invited us to sit and stay for awhile. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the master bathroom is even more elegant than the pictures can show.
We all loved sitting outside every morning, watching the wildlife and enjoying the peaceful, no wake cove location. We enjoyed fishing from the dock and having our boat there to cruise the lake.
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home. We will definitely try to book this one again next year!

The house has everything you need. The kids love the theater room after along day on the water. If your into craftsman ship you will appreciate the amazing marble and tile work throughout the house.
A few suggestions the front door needs to be easier to open and close. The back patio door hardware needs to be adjusted.
5.0 / 5.0
This is a beautiful home with 2 levels with 2 full kitchens which was perfect for multiple families. The views from the deck and dock were great. The no wake cove and location on the lake is hard to beat as well. This is the total package.

Lap of Luxury, SML, June 2022
The home is large with plenty of space for 6 adults and 3 kids, with a large kitchen, dining and living area upon entering the front door. The lake and mountain view was lovely. The upstairs kitchen had amazing amenities (sub-zero-fridge, huge commercial range, 2 dishwashers, Miele built-in espresso machine, wine fridge and beverage fridge). The stonework throughout was spectacular with inlaid mosaics and an unbelievable master bedroom ensuite bathroom. We enjoyed family dinners around a massive rectangular table in the dining room and a nice round stone outdoor table on the upper deck. Fishing off the dock was fun. We enjoyed the lake in the small beach area and large raft we brought since there were no boats, kayaks or pedal boats provided. We enjoyed take out pizza from Pizzeria Alessandro (less than 10 minutes away) and we enjoyed dining outdoors at Jakes Place (less than 20 mins) one night. We were surprised we had to cart away our own trash to the town waste disposal area, and that there was no way to rinse sand off as there was no access to outdoor faucets. All in all, it was a beautiful home and a great family vacation.

Fantastic Property
We stayed at Smith Mountain Lake for our son's graduation weekend and loved every minute of it. This property is absolutely beautiful. It has everything you could want or need. Our family enjoyed everything from the fire pit and dock to the theatre room. It is also close to the marina if you would like to rent a boat to enjoy the lake. The owners were very easy to work with from start to finish. Can't wait to return.

Great family trip to SML
This house is stunning. Very well kept, beds were very comfortable. The weekend we chose ended up being rainy so the theater room was absolutely perfect for us all to watch movies together. The kitchen was very well stocked and having multiple dishwashers and coffee makers came very much in handy. We cant wait to come back on a sunny weekend!

Amazing Vacation
We really enjoyed our stay at this amazing beautiful house. This house is equipped with everything you can ever imagine. If you love a great coffee, there’s an amazing coffee / espresso machine built in the kitchen cabinets.
If you love to cook, this kitchen has it all. Tremendous gas stove / double oven that meets anyones wishes.
From the balcony, there’s an amazing view of the mountain range. We definitely will be staying again if we can find a vacancy as this house stays booked up.

Truly the Lap Of Luxury!
This home is absolutely breathtaking! I walked in and was speechless -- I think I squealed. The exotic stones used throughout will have you in awe your entire stay. I could tell you more about it, but that would ruin the surprise when you book your own visit. The owners were friendly and welcoming and responded promptly to emails and texts. The house has EVERYTHING you need. The beds were super comfortable. The house was immaculate and the grounds were well-kept. I thought the gift the owner left for me was a kind gesture and matched the love and warmth I felt in this family's home. We made forever memories here and are looking forward to returning in 2022.

Spectacular!! 5-stars!!
The Lap of Luxury is exactly what the name of the house says - luxury!! Our family time is precious and the home exceeded all of our expectations for a time well spent. Other than food, everything was provided. The conveniences they provided in the home made it feel like we were at home. The view is spectacular! A must get away for any family!!

Beautiful home, well appointed , great theater room.
Wonderful home, we will consider for next year however we are a group of 70 + years women and stairs to downstairs bedrooms , media room rather steep, a bit difficult for a couple of us.
Just beautiful , even better than pictures and description.

Wish we could have stayed longer!
Beautiful home, everything you need and more is provided. Communication with the owner was great. We loved having a fire pit, playing games on the huge dining room table and watching the baseball playoffs in the theater room. We hope to visit again!

The property is as exactly as advertised. The home was clean, stocked and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed the comfortable bedding, million dollar lake views and sunset. My family and friends definitely plan on visiting again in the near future!

Beautiful property, great location!
We had an amazing time! The house has all the amenities you could think of. The dock is very spacious with an area to sunbathe, as well as a shaded area. In the evenings, we enjoyed using the theater room to watch movies. Highly recommend this property.

Truly Spectacular Lake Stay! Can't Wait to Come Back!
This property really is incredible. The pictures are great and still don't do it justice. There is so much space for a big family get away. The dock is close to the house making it easy to run back if you forgot something! We were able to tie our boat up to the floating dock for some tubing fun. Otherwise it's situated in a quiet part of the lake with plenty of privacy. The kids LOVED the theater room. Across the board it's very well equipped for your lake getaway.

What a perfect week at SML
1st Andrew, the owner, is fantastic. The house is every bit as beautiful in person. The beds are simply the best, you actually get a great nights sleep. Common areas allow for everyone to have space. The dock is great. The cove provides smooth water to swim in. Had a great “Movie Night” in the theater room when the rain pushed us inside. We will be back next year!!!

Amazing SML house!
This house was fantastic! Lots of room for multiple families with two separate floors each with a kitchen and living room. Bedrooms were large and also separated from each other on two different floors. The movie room was a hit with kids and adults! The outside lawn, fire pit and dock were great for outdoor activities. Easy to rent a boat and use the dock for lake exploration. Andrew and his family were very accommodating with early access to drop off supplies and answer any questions about the property. Will definitely consider renting again in the near future!

This house is absolutely amazing! It was spotlessly clean, the beds were all very comfortable, the two kitchens stocked with everything we needed to prepare our meals and the movie room was such fun. The owner, Andrew, was so attentive. We lost power for a few hours one night but because the house had so many candles we were able to create a magical evening.! I highly recommend this beautiful property it truly is The Lap of Luxury!

Wonderful ‘5 Star+’ Thanksgiving Stay
Lap of Luxury is stunning. The owners were helpful and wonderful to work with. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner in the 2 gourmet kitchens, enjoyed the beautiful views, and spent family time in the theater. Overall a great trip. It deserves more than 5 stars.

Wow Factor
I surprised my husband for his birthday with a weekend stay at this beautiful house. You wont regret choosing this home for your vacation. It has a gourmet kitchen on the main floor with everything you need to make that special dinner. There is also a full beautiful kitchen on lower level. The master bedroom bathroom is huge with a walk through shower, huge marble tub, and a toilet closet that included a bidet and urinal. The birthday boy thought that was great. The furnishings are very comfortable and classy. The dining room table comfortably seated eight people. We loved the beautiful blue marble bar. (bar fridge not working) We enjoyed watching a few movies in the theater room and using the wood burning firepit outside. There is plenty of comfortable seating outside with a great patio space off the main level overlooking the lake. If your looking for something special this is the place for you. This house is clean and very well appointed.

Amazing getaway
My family and a few friends (including four kids 4 and under) visited Lap of Luxury for a long weekend getaway. The house was AMAZING! Plenty of room for everyone (including kids to run around). Theater room was great for movies during the rain and also some adult football time. The amenities were awesome. I would recommend for families. We were pleasantly surprised to find a few larger toys in a closet that really were great to have to help entertain the little ones. It was also great being so close to the State Park for morning hikes.
Overall, I'd give this place an A+.

Best Wedding Weekend!
My little sister got married close by in Roanoke, and her and all her bridesmaids stayed in this home over the weekend. Beautiful setting for all the wedding festivities with the girls. So much space for 9 of us to spread out & have our own comfortable spaces at night. And also many options for us to all gather and be together. I would recommend this to anyone who wanted a relaxing weekend on the lake, or anyone needing a larger gathering for any special event. We enjoyed time down at the dock where there were many seating options w/ cushions. We enjoyed time around the fire pit, out on the balcony, and inside.

One of the best houses we have ever stayed in
The house has a wonderful view and is a beautiful house. We rented many places for vacation around the world and have had a property that was so well appointed. Everything we needed (and more) in the kitchen and for use throughout the house was there. We really needed to bring ourselves and that is all! The house itself is very nice and has great amenities. Many times you will rent a house that has advertised features - some working and some not. Everything in this house was in great order. For those who love a lake experience in an awesome, very high end house, this is the one for you. The owners were terrific to deal with and very attentive before, during, and after the stay. If I go back to Smith Mountain Lake I will stay here!

Great Labor Day Weekend Escape
We had a very relaxing time at Lap of Luxury. The house is beautiful, like other reviews state it is equipted with everything you need. We rented a boat which made it extra nice to go out for early morning rides. The kids enjoyed tubing in the afternoon. Will definitely return.

The perfect lake vacation!
The house is beautiful and spacious with a fantastic view and a great dock! The theatre room was an added bonus to watch the first NFL football game of 2020! The walk to the dock is easy, even for my 84 year old mother-in-law. The location is so convenient to Mitchell's Marina where we rented a boat. It was also very convenient to a Food Lion grocery store. This is a smaller grocery store, so get your main essentials before you arrive. We will definitely rent here again.
