About this house rental

Our cozy retreat comfortably accommodates up to 8 adults, per Bedford County Planning and Zoning Ordinance (children aged 2 and under are welcome and don’t count toward this limit!). This capacity aligns with our approved 4-bedroom septic system—just a friendly reminder!

Our charming home, purchased in 2017, has undergone a stunning multi-level renovation that has transformed every corner! Inspired by the creative flair of HGTV's Chip and Joanna Gaines, we’ve crafted a warm, inviting open-concept space that perfectly blends farmhouse charm with lake house vibes.

Among the extensive upgrades, we’ve removed over three dozen trees to create an expansive front and back yard, added a new roof, and built a spacious 32 x 12 deck for your outdoor enjoyment. The dock has been updated with a new 10 x 10 floater, and the kitchen now features custom cabinets, gorgeous quartz countertops, and a lovely farmhouse sink. With all-new energy-efficient windows, rustic laminate flooring throughout, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, fresh paint inside and out, new gutters, and revitalized landscaping, we’ve certainly been busy creating a slice of paradise!

In spring 2018, we added new life to the unfinished basement, featuring a large bedroom, a full bathroom, and a spacious recreation room. By spring 2019, we installed custom barn doors, epoxy flooring, and a utility sink—because who doesn’t love a bright, functional space?

Nestled in the peaceful community of Pine Ridge off Toler’s Ferry Road in Huddleston, our home sits on a generous 1.5-acre lot with plenty of room for fun and relaxation. Enjoy the extra privacy from the wooded lot next door (that belongs to our neighbors) and take advantage of the shade provided by the trees on our property on those sunny summer days.

Our secluded neighborhood is perfect for tranquil morning or evening strolls, with the house set back far enough from the road to keep summer traffic at bay. Pine Ridge is a charming enclave of just over 20 homes, offering peace and serenity. You might even meet some of our friendly neighborhood dogs who love to drop by for a scratch behind the ears!

The crown jewel of our property? The breathtaking views from every door and window! Enjoy romantic sunsets over the lake from the back deck with your favorite glass of wine in hand. Our flat lot features deep water that ranges from 8 to 12 feet—an impressive find at Smith Mountain Lake!

Our home is perfect for your lake getaway with four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The primary bedroom boasts a queen-sized bed and a full bath. The larger of the two other bedrooms features two queen-sized beds, while the smaller bedroom has a full-over-full bunk bed (which has been "weight tested" by two teenage boys equaling 425 pounds!). The spacious basement includes a large bedroom with two queen beds plus a full bathroom.

As a friendly reminder, our home operates on a well and septic system, so please be mindful of what goes into the pipes.

This property is proudly owned by a USAF Veteran family and managed by a licensed real estate professional. If you have any questions before or during your stay please contact owner/agent Holley Scheffel at 571-265-7848 or via email at [email protected].

Property is in an excellent location - on a quiet and calm section of the lake which was perfect for on the lake fun. The house is extremely well kept and spacious. Everything has been replaced / refurbished in the home and the house came with all the amenities you need. We enjoyed jumping in the lake and playing with the toys (kayaks, floats, etc). There are plenty of beds and several living spaces so you can spread out. Would definitely stay again.

Every detail of this property is beautiful. From the decor, to the view, to the little extras, we enjoyed all that it has to offer. It's one of the most well equipped properties we've ever rented. The access to the kayaks and paddle boards really made the trip, especially for the kids. My favorite time was sipping my morning coffee on the rocking Adirondack chairs down by the water. Wonderful trip!

We had an amazing vacation at Camp Run-a-muk! The property was very clean and well-maintained with an excellent location near Mariners Landing and Mitchells point Marina. Holly, the owner, was very responsive and helpful during our stay. We will definitely be coming back!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Camp Run-a-Muk! Holley and Steve were quick to respond to all the questions we had prior to our stay and recommended some great spots for dining. The house is simply beautiful. You can clearly see all of the hard work that was put into this home. We enjoyed lazy days on the lake, paddle boarding, kayaking and fishing. Our nights were filled with s’mores by the fire pit and family game nights. This house has everything you need and want in a vacation home. Hands down, this was a 10/10 vacation!

My family and I have been going and renting a house at SML for over 20 years and Camp-Run-a-Muk didn’t disappoint and is at the top of the list as far as houses go! It’s always hard to find a house with 4 bedrooms to fit our family; my parents, sisters and significant others, and now my children. We were welcomed with flowers (arranged by a local company with an amazing purpose), local wine and wine glasses, local honey, soap from a local vendor, and coffee. Such a wonderful touch and sweet gesture to start off our vacation! Communication with the owner was very easy and Holley was extremely welcoming. House is renovated and decor is on point. Has a kitchen table large enough for a family of 10 which was amazing for us and rare to find when renting. Kitchen has everything you’ll need while on vacation, plus a few bonus items; large coffee mugs for those early morning with young kids that don’t know how to sleep in yet, spices, aluminum foil and press and seal in the pantry. Located in a quiet part of the lake, not much boat traffic which is great for little ones learning to swim. Nice dock with 2 picnic tables. Would recommend bringing a chair or two down for some additional seating/lounging but not always necessary with how much time we spent in the lake. First house we’ve stayed at that had a pad which was a hit with the adults and kids! Very nice fire pit and sitting area for s’mores or a cold beverage after the end of a great day on the lake. Would totally recommend this home to anyone wanting to rent at SML!

We had a fantastic week at Camp Run-A-Muk and will definitely return in the future! The location was perfect... just 10-15 minutes from Mitchell's Marina (where we rented our boat and had an excellent lunch!), about a 20 minute boat ride from the dam, where we were fortunate to witness a flyover of 3 F-15's on our last full day! The property is beautiful, well kept, and updated. The owners have put a ton of work into it, and it really shows. They have an awesome game room downstairs with a giant Connect Four, ping pong, and foosball, but we spent so much time in the lake that we didn't utilize that much. We used one of the kayaks quite a bit, and it was an added bonus that those and the paddle boards were included. Definitely a successful first (of many, I'm sure!) trips to Smith Mountain Lake, and a property I would 100% rent again! To top if all off, the owners were incredibly helpful and kind, and an absolute pleasure to work with!

Clean and well equipped. Kitchen is loaded and stock of spices and oils was much appreciated. Plenty of outdoor furniture, life jackets, kayaks, paddleboards and a foam float. Extended family of deer seemed to hang out in the yard. Kids enjoyed fishing from the dock and all the water activities. Everyone voted to return for a third time next year.

Great property owners who are willing to go the extra mile. Lovely, recently remodeled home with lots of nice design touches. Very clean. Very well equipped and furnished (dock setup, kitchen appliances, lifejackets, SUPs, Adirondack chairs, firepit, kayaks, foosball, ping-pong, TVs, Dish network, etc.) The home is "downlake" from a private marina, so you should expect some modest boater traffic past the dock. Nothing inconvenient. The house -- like all at SML -- is on a well and water softener, so you shouldn't expect high water pressure. A little soap or shampoo goes a long way ;-) Note: the property DOES come with bed linens and towels if you're renting during the high season (the VRBO description said it did not, and we rented non-refundable linens and towels only to find the house already had them). Best to check with the property owners beforehand. Recommended!

Second year in a row staying at Camp-Run-a Muk and just as last year it was a wonderful stay. The house is spacious, laid out well for families, plenty of water toys to use and the communication with the owners is outstanding. I would recommend to anyone who would like a great experience at SML

Holley was exceptional at communicating with us prior to and during our stay! We greatly appreciated the linens, towels, and household items already set in the house for our use while staying-- it made getting settled SO MUCH EASIER! The house is spacious and tidy and that kitchen was a perfect layout for both prepping meals and enjoying a conversation. Nice dock with easy access for our rented boat to be tied up. The kayaks were so conveniently located near the dock- if only we were better kayakers! Great week- great house.

We enjoyed our 3 night family stay here. The beds, neighborhood, and furniture was comfortable and the water toys and ping pong a lot of fun! That area of the lake was quiet and safe without a lot of boat traffic and nice and deep for jumping in. One item to note if bringing elderly folks--the lot is flat relative to lakehouses in the area but seemed more like a hill to a grandma with arthritis--It was an easily negotiated incline with the nice gravel path and she did say it wouldn't keep her from coming again. And the chairs on ground level were fabulous as was the fire pit at night. Overall an A+ spot and lovely home we were thankful to borrow and would be glad to rent again.
