Bernard's Landing has a reputation for being Smith Mountain Lake's Premier Resort, with The Laker & The Roanoker magazines voting it "best place to stay"! Napoli at the Lake is our new favorite place to eat in all of the Smith Mtn Lake area – and it’s less than a 5 minute walk! Also at this waterfront restaurant is a full service bar for great snacks and nibbles. Many other wonderful restaurants are a short drive by car or boat – but we find all we want right outside our door! In addition, Bernie's Convenience Store has a wonderful assortment of snacks, drinks, gifts & sun/water items! For more complete grocery shopping, Kroger Grocery Store is less than 8 miles away, at the Westlake Center, along with other shops & a movie theatre.
Complimentary amenities that you may use (an Amenity Pass is provided for your stay) include an Indoor Pool & Hot Tub, an Olympic-sized outdoor pool at the Clubhouse and a second outdoor pool by the Conference Center (recently renamed Highlands). Our condo has a lovely view of the lake & is very centrally located, with a very short stroll on relatively flat lawn to almost everything! The Clubhouse has a fitness center, racquetball court, steam room & sauna. There are also 4 tennis courts, 6 pickle ball courts, a basketball court and a dreamy, sandy beach with tiki umbrellas. We offer racquets & other toys for you to use while you are here. No need to worry about packing ALL your toys for your family's vacation!
Smith Mountain Lake is Virginia’s Premier fishing lake! Fish right off our docks or long shoreline at the resort, rent a boat, or charter a fishing trip. There are many Convenience Docks around the resort for you to tie up your boat during your stay, along with on on-site Boat Launch & trailer storage. There are also on-site Rental Shacks where you can arrange rental of a boat, jet ski, canoe or SUP. The only thing needed for a fun-filled & unforgettable vacation making lasting memories, is...YOU! GOLFERS can play at the West Lake Country Club as well as other nearby courses such as Blue Hills & Hanging Rock in Roanoke.

It was a nice place
10.0 / 10.0
The host was truly amazing and very helpful. Easy to communicate with and quick to respond. The property was as described and extremely clean. Beautiful area to be in. We were already familiar with that location but it still didn’t take away from how nice it was! Highly recommend the host and the condo.

Great, clean 2 BR condo at very nice Bernard Landing resort, just across the street from Smith Mountain Lake with a view of the water. Kathy is a great host, providing very clear information and responds immediately to any questions you have.
8.0 / 10.0
The location of the property was good, but the quality did not match the price we paid/night. It was fairly clean, but not what we thought it should be. The bathrooms were updated and nice, but the rest of the condo was very dated. The carpet was very old and cobwebs in several corners of the condo and windows. The host was very responsive and nice, so I would say that that experience was good. We just were not happy with what we paid for what we got.

We had a wonderful vacation here! Enjoyed boating, playing pickleball, and swimming at the beach, Kathy provided lots of helpful information prior to our stay and responded quickly to any questions that we had. Great place to stay!
10.0 / 10.0
The property was immaculate and very, very comfortable. Kathy and her husband are very communicative and helped us immediately by phone when the local wifi went down. The location gave us a view of the lake and we were close to the pool and the little beach and the pickleball courts. They had games for us to play during the hot afternoon and pickle ball paddles available! They were NOT stingy about toilet paper, paper towel, spices etc. that some rentals are which made it very nice. Lastly, there was no one coming in immediately after us so they allowed us to stay an extra four hours! I would definitely recommend their place!!
10.0 / 10.0
From the minute we walked in, we were amazed and excited. The pictures on VRBO were exactly what we found. Many items were labeled in the kitchen and we were delighted with the new bathrooms. The master suite, a king bed, was so comfortable. My sister in law and her husband were in the queen bedroom. After a couple of nights, they realized their sleep was affected by the beginnings of a hammock-like mattress, which the owners are now putting on their priority list to fix! The only thing we couldn't find was a freight elevator to alleviate the two sets of stairs as we (all over 65) struggled to get our suitcases up :) . Really, it wasn't much of a problem! The view, the furniture, the all around aura of the condo was perfect!
To sum up, a delightful, comfortable, enjoyable stay!!

This was a weekend to relax and go boating on the lake. The condo was comfortable and as described. We were able to use a courtesy dock for our boat that was just a short walk from the condo. Communication with the owner was prompt and helpful. Would rent this condo again.
8.0 / 10.0
At first glance 711 was beautiful, however there were a few issues which the owner should address,
The wall to wall carpet is very nice however it presents a challenge moving chairs in the dining area.
The dishwasher is extremely noisy.
The unit is 2nd floor condo and is extremely annoying with guests ( children) running and jumping on the third floor.
The outside deck has to be cleaned to be usable.
10.0 / 10.0
Furnishings and amenities were top-notch for comfort. We felt so spoiled to have so much carefully provided for us, and made our July 4th week so memorable. Bernards Landing setting on the Lake made our stay a place we'll return to. Great communication with the owners too. Thank you!

The weather was amazing. The lake was absolutely beautiful.
This condo was very nice and clean. We loved the beautiful view of the lake and loved seeing the hummingbirds on the balcony. The deers and other wild life was so nice to see also.
Bernard’s landing is very impressive and beautifully kept. We definitely recommend it and will be back.
Thank you so much for the nice gift Kathy.
Sincerely,
The Wells Family

10.0 / 10.0
This condo is absolutely fantastic! Everything was immaculately clean when we arrived, and it was amply stocked with everything we needed for a great long-weekend getaway. The community is very quiet, well kept, and friendly, and there are plenty of places to fish, swim and relax, scattered around the grounds. I enjoyed the balcony in the mornings, it was a perfect spot for coffee, and in the evenings it was great for cocktails and watching the hummingbirds. The condo itself is spacious, beautifully decorated, and well thought out for guests to feel at home! I’ve rented from VRBO for many years and I have to say that this is one of the best rentals I’ve stayed in! The renovations are spot on. The owners clearly communicate, both prior to check in, and with expectations on checking out. I will absolutely be coming back!!
I highly recommend the D-Day memorial in Bedford as a must see.

If bringing a boat, be prepared to walk a short distance to where you tie off at.
10.0 / 10.0
We really enjoyed our stay and would rate everything five stars or more! We chose it for the lake views and proximity to the lake. The condo is really nice and set up as a home with more than enough comfortable, quality furniture to completely relax and unwind, and not just the lower end furniture you see in lots of rentals. The master bedroom is large, with a quality mattress. Everything was super-clean with attention to detail. The kitchen had everything necessary. Convenient location to all the amenities. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the evening with a glass of wine, with a view of the lake. Kathy, the host, was helpful, generous and gracious. We would definitely return! Highly recommend!

This condo has it all. We arrived to a very clean and well stocked place, where Kathy left a sweet card and a bag of king size chocolates for us. Yum! The kitchen is fully stocked, they have fans in each bedroom closet which we loved!
We rented a pontoon, we had dinner on site @ Napoli by the lake restaurant which was delicious. We played tennis and dipped in the pool.
Me and my husband took my parents here for their 45th wedding anniversary with no complaints. The beds were very comfortable too. My mom lost her earring and the owner notified us that it was found and promptly mailed it back to us. Who does that these days?
We will definitely be back. Thank you so much Kathy!

My family stayed here for a wedding! With tons of family scattered throughout Bernard's Landing, our location was my favorite! We walked right down to the beach and pool and found a new love for pickleball, we ended up playing every morning! The condo was great and exactly like it was pictured and had everything we needed. Great view!
