House was very cozy with plenty of space on both levels. Hearty set of 42 steps to the dock. Water was nice and warm and clean.
Was surprised on the water level changes during the week, but had no effect on our stay.
Screened porch was nice break from the AC in the morning and evening.
Property gets an “A” grade! Give it a try.

Let me start by saying the owner, Alice, was an absolute gem to work with. The house was VERY clean, comfortable, and had every amenity you could possibly think of. She thought of the 'little things' that would make your stay that much more enjoyable. We brought our boat with us and launched from Mitchell's Marina without any problem (there is a $5 fee to unload & reload the boat, fyi), and kept the trailer at the house. It was a short boat drive to the house and the dock was clearly marked with the address. We LOVED the back deck as well as the boat dock and spent our afternoons floating in the cove. Oh, and the mountain views! The house is by the dam and in my opinion is the most beautiful part of the lake. It was the best 5 days we've had in a long time.

Two of my college friends and I stayed here for a weekend to catch up and relax! We had a wonderful time hanging out on the dock and swimming in the lake. Our host Alice was very communicative and was a wonderful host.

My family came down for the first time to SML. This home had everything we needed. We enjoyed our coffee in the morning on the screened in deck overseeing the lake and then enjoyed our days on the lake on our boat which we docked there. The views of the lake and mountains are incredible from this area. The communication with the owners was very positive and they were always responsive.

It’s a lovely home situated in a peaceful, picturesque setting and ideal for adults seeking fishing from the dock and relaxation. The owner, Alice, is extremely responsive, and we totally enjoyed our week visiting Smith Mountain Lake.

My wife and I enjoyed several great days at this property. The owner went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and accommodated. The location is fantastic - on a quiet cove right off of the main lake. The house was recently redone and has a great new kitchen. The enclosed porch is great for viewing the lake or enjoying a thunderstorm. The new fire pit area is also great. Overall, a fantastic experience.

My wife, grown son and his wife and I enjoyed the most relaxing vacation we've all had in a long time. Our accomodations were excellent. Plenty of cookware and decorated tastefully. My son and I had a few exciting matches on the foosball table. The dock was a great place to hang out and fish. Swimming was great, the water felt fantastic. We brought new paddle boards to try out for the first time. The cove was a perfect spot for us beginners. We had a blast.
I highly recommend this rental for small families. We hope to return again in the future! Love SML!

We loved our stay in the lake house. The house is great - beautiful kitchen, comfy couch and bed, great screened in porch, and fabulous fire pit near the edge of the water and a private dock. The lake is stunning and the property feels safe and very private. We hope to come back with family next year!
5.0
Fantastic little property on a very nice end of the lake. You can practically walk to Mitchell’s Marina and just a quick boat ride to the dam. The property itself was very cozy with a great fire pit setup near the water and cool lighting on the walk down to the dock. The homeowner was very accommodating and communicative. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay at SML for the weekend.

Wow- the lake cottage was sweet and adorable! And so clean and nicely updated!! Husband and I were there 10 days for our 25th anniversary and our adult kids came for 3 of those nights- plenty of room. It’s very private on wooded property and the water view and access is breathtaking and relaxing! Loved the covered porches and the cute Fire pit and lit stairs that take you to the water. We loved the dock with both covered and uncovered sections as well as the float dock. The cove is deep and quiet but close to the main channels and has the Mountain View. Just perfect! Plenty of water to swim and float around the dock and very quiet neighbors who we didn’t really see. We rented paddle boards for our whole stay and a boat for 3 days from nearby Mitchell’s Marina (definitely reserve before your trip). Paddle boards and the canoe were awesome early morning or evening when the water was like glass. I recommend bringing most food with you (grocery store about 25 min away) - kitchen and outside grill are great! Mitchell’s is good food also but we mostly preferred to eat in. The owner was fabulous to work with! This was a wonderful getaway we didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be back!

We loved everything about this house on Smith Mountain Lake. Our family really enjoyed our stay. The house is the perfect location on a quiet cove. Easy access to Mitchell’s Point Marina to rent a boat. We loved sitting out on the dock, fire pit by the lake, the screened porches for coffee and relaxing. The house has plenty of room for our family of four. It was really clean and had a great kitchen and family room. Bedrooms were comfortable too. Alice, the owner was wonderful to work with...very helpful and accommodating. We will defiugo back to this gem on the lake.

This was a very last minute trip to SML. We’ve had the lake on our list of places to visit for a while. We were just waiting for the right time. Our planned vacations have been canceled or postponed due to all of the changes made because of C19.
This lake house is great. It was four of us including 2 small children and the accommodations were perfect. The home is clean and nicely decorated. We spent a lot of time on the covered boat dock. We made a fire, took the canoe out, and played foosball in the basement. The location to Mitchell’s marina is great. We rented a boat for half a day and explored the lake. This was a great first experience to SML. Alice, the homeowner is very friendly and communicated excellently! She answered questions before I knew to ask them. I would highly recommend this quiet lakefront home.

We had a wonderful weekend at this property. The porches provide a perfect spot to wake up with coffee in the morning. The dock with a little beach beside it was a great way to spend a day in the sun. Alice was very accommodating. She made sure we had everything we needed and made herself available should anything have come up. A truly great experience and lovely property.

Great location less than a half mile to Mitchell's Point Marina where we launched our boat and ate numerous meals. So convenient to dock boat at the house. Very clean house. Lots of room. Private sleeping for 3 couples. Great kitchen with all nice appliances needed, even blender and toaster. Basement is nice private area for one couple with bedroom, bath/shower, tv room, drink frig and microwave. Nice view of lake from both screened in porches. GREAT view of lake from dock where we spent most of our time, even after dark. Covered dock for relaxing and uncovered dock for swimming/sunning. Well lit shallow steps to dock were easy to maneuver, even after dark. Owner VERY responsive and helpful with our first time questions. Looking forward to our next stay!
