We really enjoyed coming to Smith Mountain Lake. The property is on a beautiful spot, and the views are outstanding. The house is overall comfortable and clean. There are a lot of water toys and spaces to relax. The kitchen is well equipped and the house overall is well stocked with supplies. Make sure you are aware of what you're getting with this home. This is an older home that has recently been given a facelift. As such, there are still some issues. The dock and deck are in need of some work and are splintered significantly (bring your tweezers if you will have kids running around on them). The house is smaller than it appears on the pictures. The hot tub was full of leaves and debris, and there were fixtures coming out of the wall in the bathrooms. Most "house rules" for listings exist on a continuum between the reasonable (no big parties, strip the beds when you leave) to the more unreasonable (basically clean the house yourself and maybe do some minor home repairs while you're at it). This one exists closer to the latter. For example, they want you to run the grill grates through the dishwasher (is that even a thing?) They ask you to take the trash to a dumpster that is a 20 minute round trip from the house. The alternative is paying $10 a bag for them to do it. When you're paying $5000 for 5 nights there, that seems like something that should be included. Overall, this is a nice spot to enjoy the lake from, just know what you're getting.

We have stayed at this home multiple times. The owners have thought of everything,no need to worry about will this home have everything we need they have that and more. The personal touch they give to each renter means so much. Thankyou for a great weekend!!!!!!

Our accommodations were amazing, and the location has all you would want to relax and enjoy the lake, as well as first class accommodations on the inside - there is plenty of room to put your feet up, read, eat and watch the sunrise and sunset! An amazing experience all around!

We had a group of 11 and everyone had room. House had everything we needed. Stayed up in SML for a wedding so didn’t get to use the dock as much as we would have liked but Ronald had lots of lake toys in the shed including a 15ft lilypad. Tons of seating for the porch and the dock. Basement has foosball and ping pong tables. Very newly renovated and the beds were very comfortable. Beautiful view of SML. Host is very responsive. Will definitely stay here again.

It was a great stay at the house. The house was just as nice as the pictures and descriptions noted. The home was clean and the location is great!

We stayed for a week with 5 adults and 5 children 15-2 years old. The house was very clean and well equip. The beds were so comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed, the kids love the ping pong and foosball table. The owners provided lots of essentials and the water toys were amazing! This is our second time staying at Smith Mountain lake and this house was by far the best! We will definitely be back!

Awesome house with great updates and spacing for several families. Host was amazing with communication and made it feel warm and cozy. Have been vacationing at SML for 20+ years and could not have found a better location to all the best SML places plus an awesome view. Fully stocked kitchen made it easy for cooking large meals and had a great deck for grilling and outdoor eating. Boat dock is perfect for relaxing, fishing and playing; host provided the best lake toys! Great for families with small and older children. Highly recommend and look forward to staying again!

The house was exactly as advertised. Clean and a great location. The owner made our check in very easy and was great with communications.

We had a wonderful time at this lake house! Plenty of room, very clean. It had everything we needed! Ronald was easy to reach and communication was great. No issues at all. Be mindful you will need to take the garbage with you and the dump is about 5-7 min away. It was fine it is Open 24/7. Almost every room has lake views. We would definitely stay here again!

Our stay was wonderful. This is a beautiful property with tons of amenities. The host was nice and very responsive. I hope to stay here again.

This property is wonderful. The house was beautifully decorated. Fully equipped with all your necessities. Great view of the lake.

Our stay at this lake home was very enjoyable. The owner has thought of everything from Bed to Bath. If you want to stay in a very nice home on your vacation and not have to worry about anything this is the one for you!!! We have been going to smith mountain lake for the last 30 years best rental we have stayed in by far.

This was a very nice place to host our family and friends the week of Thanksgiving. The house was very clean and the linens were very nice. There was even a child's step stool and I saw a pack'n play. The kitchen certainly had everything we needed. There was a second oven and refrigerator downstairs which was great for cooking a Thanksgiving meal. The TVs, ping-pong table and foosball table were enjoyed by all. The owner was prompt with replies to any questions and very accommodating. The view of the lake was beautiful and someone caught a 3 pound striped bass! We highly recommend this home. We hope to return!!!

Our family of 7 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "Brenda." The home had been recently remodeled and was very clean. All of the décor had been updated and gave you that true lake home vibe. The beds were comfortable and all of the linens and towels were of high quality. The kitchen was fully equipped and accommodated all of our meal prep needs. The kids (and adults) spent quite a bit of time on the ping pong and foosball tables. We also enjoyed S'mores by the lakeside fire pit. One of our favorite parts about the home was the infinity-like lake views from the main floor of the house. You have a nearly panoramic view of the lake from the inside that extends onto a large deck that was great for reading, dining or napping. The lake and dock were easily accessible, unlike some other houses we have stayed in the past. The nearest grocery store is 30 minutes away, however there are smaller convenience stores that are stocked with your basic needs. For those who enjoy going out to dinner, you can go to Mexico Viejo which is within 3-5 minutes of the house. The only inconvenience about the home is the fact that the trash must be collected and dumped into a dumpster about 10 mins away, which would not deter us...........we would definitely stay with "Brenda" again!

I booked this property with a little bit of trepidation not knowing what to expect - esp that we were 3 families and I was the planner. Believe me, it is absolutely gorgeous and the location is unbeatable. We didn't want to leave and everyone wanted to stay longer. Very well appointed, comfortable, roomy, and everything you think you'll need is already there (kitchen utensils, dishes, kayaks, etc.) The location is right on the water and we spent hours on the dock enjoying the weather. The sunset views are spectacular! Smith Mountain is a 10min drive where we went for a hike early in the morning on one of the days. The owner was very approachable and I was communicating with them like we'd been friends for awhile. Recommend it 1000% and we'll definitely be coming back.

It was such a pleasure to work with Ron. He made sure our experience was stress-free. We so appreciated the amount of effort and time put into the needs of the guests at this newly renovated, amazing property. He thought of everything from a crockpot in the kitchen, and puzzles in the media cabinet, to rafts and toys on the water. With the beautifully accurate marketing pictures and availability of this property, he built a strong relationship of trust and confidence. I can overwhelmingly recommend for our loved ones to stay here. We hope to stay again! ~DS

Beautiful and comfortable, newly remodeled home with a view from most rooms of the lake. Amazing dock with suspended chairs and 2 kayaks with a floating pad. We would love to return because of the relaxing decor, cleanliness and comfortable mattreses.
