About this house rental
Kayaks, paddleboat, firepit, sandbox, covered boat slip w/lift, unobstructed Smith Mountain views, high-speed internet - there's something for everyone at Happy Endings on Smith Mountain Lake!
This 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home located on prestigious Capewood Drive has southwestern exposure and sweeping mountain views with sunrises and sunsets that will make you wish you never had to leave! The main level boasts a great room with wood beams, vaulted ceilings, and gas fireplace for cozy gatherings. The well-stocked kitchen makes it easy and enjoyable to feed a crowd, and even our youngest guests will find everything they need (from kid-friendly dinnerware to booster seats) to feel right at home! The beautiful lakeside sunroom is a favorite gathering space both day and night, and the large deck overlooking the firepit, sandbox, and dock offers some of the best views on the lake. As dinnertime approaches, you'll want to enjoy the gas grill, Blackstone grill/griddle, and two high-top dining tables that seat a total of 8. After a long day of fun, you'll be ready to rest your heads in the spacious master suite with sliding glass doors and windows to maximize the view, the queen guest bedroom with adjacent bathroom, and the triple bunk room that's ready for late-night whispers and giggles.
The lower level features a wet bar, pool table, air hockey table, and plenty of games to ward off rainy-day boredom! A second master bedroom, adjacent to a large bathroom, has a queen bed and set of twin bunks making it perfect for a family. An additional bunk room is a favorite with our teen guests wanting their own space. We also have a pack n' play available for our littlest lake-lovers. PLEASE NOTE: Sheets and towels are NOT included but we can recommend a local vendor for those who wish to rent linens for their stay.
The dock area offers a covered boat slip w/lift (available Memorial Day to Labor Day, all other times please inquire about availability), a floating dock for boat tie-up or sunbathing, and a boathouse stocked with floats/noodles, a small selection of life jackets, and a mini fridge.

We had a great time at this amazing lake house!

Had a great time here during our stay! Best place on the lake and couldn’t have asked for better!

Beautiful place with lots of outdoor seating and spaces. We really appreciated the large number of kayaks and life jackets. I didn’t pay enough attention to listing and had to go shopping for linens and towels. Lesson learned.

The beds were amazing! Place clean
Just make sure you bring own sheets and towels and pillow cases

The property was absolutely beautiful! It comfortably fit all 12 of us and we had a great time on the lake. Thanks again to Cait for making sure all was well and we were good to go!

The best thing about this home is the views! There is also Great Lake access with plenty for kids to do. I personally love how secluded the home was, it added a very relaxing woodsy vibe. The owner is extremely friendly and responds quickly to message (this is appreciated.) Only a few things I’d like to point out to other guest, there are no linens (it’s in the listing details but we missed it), there’s only one working tv in the upstairs living space (not a terrible bad thing, and the closet full grocery store is 30mins away. Overall it was a great stay. Will stay again.

The lake house was well stocked and comfortable with fabulous views! With 3 couples and two small children we had enough space to spread out. The owners need to make a few repairs to the property but all in all a nice place!

This house is situated in the perfect location for watching boat traffic, watching wildlife and watching the stars. Plenty of water toys and life vests made it a good fit for our multi age group. Beds are so comfortable and there are lots of chili out areas in the house. Our favorite was the sun porch.
4.8
We enjoyed our stay. The property was beautiful. The one problem we had is that the bathtub does not work in the master bedroom. When you have small children that can be an issue with bathing. The deck house was well stocked with life vest, fishing rods and floating devices.

2nd time here and coming back next year
4.8
We have been coming to the lake for 14 years now, and this house had one of the most amazing views! When we are looking for a lake house at SML we are looking for a house with views, a great boat dock, and good sleeping arrangements. This house delivered and there was sooooo much more. It was clean, the beds were comfortable for everyone, the views were on point, we had a boat and it was easy to dock, the kitchen was well labeled and well stocked with dishes and anything else you would need when it comes to having to cook (just bring the food), the Blackstone on the deck was an extra bonus (my husband loves cooking on his Blackstone at home) for breakfast and dinners, they had so much for our 14 and 17 year old to do (paddle boards, canoe, and pedal boat). I highly recommend this house! It was a relaxing retreat that we look forward to every year! Thank you!!!!

Beautiful home and property. Lovely stay for adults and kids alike--so much fun to be had!

Me and some friends were Gatling for a long weekend to catch up at the lake. The house was beautiful and cozy with lots of room to hang out together. The dock is very nice and we enjoyed having a fire going to warm up as it was late in the season. Overall we were very impressed with the house and enjoyed our stay.
**There are no linens which was explained by the host prior to us arriving but we did forgot to include kitchen towels which are not included either.

We had a wonderful time at Happy Endings! It truly is such a beautiful view there, and we were thankful to have a weekend with our friends. The only drawbacks: having to bring own sheets, towels, paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, and garbage bags. Front door keypad does not work nor is the code correct in the email that was sent prior to check in. Luckily, a back door was unlocked, so we easily were able to get in and then unlock the front door. Also, many of the lights in the downstairs bar area need new light bulbs, so it was hard for us to hang out downstairs. Positive parts of the stay: we loved that there were three bathrooms, the king bed in the upstairs master suite was SO comfortable, the dock area was awesome and so much fun, and we loved that there were two grills to cook on. Overall, it was a good weekend with a few small setbacks, but it didn't keep us from having a great time and really wanting to come back in the off-season again!

Well stocked home with a view that can't be beat. Would definitely recommend!

Our extended family enjoyed our stay at this vacation home. There were lots of activities for the kids (paddle boards, kayaks, paddle boat, air hockey, pool table, etc). There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep and relax. Owners were prompt to respond and easy to communicate with. We were also able to rent a boat from the local marina and secure it to the floating dock when not in use.

The house was clean and furnished with two nice grills that were piped into a large propane tank. The outside back patio and porch are awesome. The inside of the house was clean but dark. The living and inside eating areas are cramped if the house is full. It rained during our trip, so the kids loved that there was a pool table, air hockey table and lots of games to play. Overall, we enjoyed our time there.

Happy Endings is a wonderful place for a family getaway. My daughters, son-in-laws, grandchildren and myself enjoyed our stay so much. The house is perfect and the location on the lake was exactly what we were looking for.

My teammates and I rented this house after competing in a triathlon at Smith Mountain Lake, and the owners were extremely accommodating and helpful to us. We were just looking for a place to crash, but ended up getting so much more than we were anticipating. The house is beautiful, and the view was absolutely stunning. We enjoyed hanging out on the dock by the lake, and only wished we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend staying at this house!

The property and location at Smith Mountain lake was great. It was equipped with everything you would want to get in the lake with. Only a few things were not working like tub in large master and downstairs hot water buy we enjoyed ourselves anyway. Thank you for sharing your home and we hope to be able to come back again.

We had a great time! The location is great, the view can't be beat, it was clean, and came with lots of water toys! Also, there's a massive outdoor griddle. I know it sounds strange, but there's no more convenient way to cook a big breakfast for 10 people! As a few other reviews note, the house may technically sleep 13, but really it's up to 3 adult couples (in 3 bedrooms with queen/king beds) and lots of assorted kids (in various bunk rooms). A 4th adult couple would cause challenges to sleeping arrangements.
We've booked again for next year!

Great house with amazing views and lots of water toys to use! The screened in porch was an oasis of calm, but with temps in the 90s all week, it was not used as much as we would have liked as it got hot pretty quickly in there.
Although it sleeps 13, 7 of those beds are twin bunk beds with two of the bunks in the 2nd master bedroom. The triple bunk room is also the laundry room, so it was sort of hard to use the laundry at times. Although the teenagers loved to water toys, the sleeping situation was a bit cramped for them. However, it would be perfect for younger kiddos. The rest of the house makes up for it though.
We had not gotten the door code the day of check in, but response was quick to get the code once requested by mid-afternoon. Also, had to contact owners to figure out how to turn off a floodlight and response was again quick and issue was resolved easily.
This was a great spot on a quieter part of the lake. The only thing I am bummed about is how much the price has increased for next year.

It was a nice place with a great view, but a few things didn't work perfectly. Basement was cold and heat didn't seem to work well. Had to mess with the to get them to work. It would have been nice to have instructions for fireplace. They didn't really clean up yard. Beds were comfortable, house was great otherwise. I would stay there again.
