About this house rental

Tucked away in the woods giving a quiet, retreat atmosphere yet minutes from grocery stores, wineries, Bridgewater and Westlake shopping. Completely renovated and spacious kitchen, new stainless steel appliances, wine cooler and quartz countertops with serving peninsula. Vaulted ceiling runs the length of the upstairs living area. Fully equipped with Xfinity WiFi, TV and flatscreens in living areas. Two kayaks provided for guests to explore the cove along with floats and noodles to relax and enjoy the refreshing water.

Hardwood floors cover the entire upstairs. Sitting area with sofa adjoins kitchen for early morning coffee overlooking the lake. Downstairs den features uniquely designed stained concrete floors and wood-burning fireplace insert with walkout to patio. Enjoy a romantic evening in the hot tub just outside the downstairs master suite. New master bathroom features a large tiled shower with frameless glass wall.

Views of the cove, private deck and wildlife abound from the full length deck which also features a covered dining area for 6. A gas grill is available for your use. Relax and float in our quiet cove outside the bustle of the main lake channel or just enjoy the beautiful views from the dock. Dock is partially roofed for shade or sun depending on your mood and has electricity. Savor the early morning sunrise views over the lake.

There are many activities to enjoy outside of the lake. There are several wineries local to the area. Visit the D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Booker T. Washington's childhood home, explore the many trails at Smith Mountain State Park, or you can venture further onto the Blue Ridge Parkway. There is literally something for everyone!

We have been staying at this property every year and obviously we love it! The owner is great and quick to respond. He is constantly working to make upgrades to the property. The view is fantastic and we enjoy fishing and kayaking. It’s our family’s favorite vacation!

Absolutely fabulous location! So much wildlife! We actually saw a deer get chased by a dog and swim across the lake to safety! A highlight of the trip :). The house is older and a bit musty, but just beautiful and plenty of space for everyone. Coffee on the deck in the morning and the hot tub at night were so wonderful. Owners are great and quick to respond. We would definitely stay again.

Place was great! The walk to and from the dock can be challenging if you have any issues. But then again it’s lake living!! Thanks!!

Had I not made reservations for a boat rental later in the week, I would have returned my bags to my car and headed home immediately after the first hour in the property. I have no ill will for an owner trying to earn income on a vacation home, but this property is in dire need of a good scrubbing and adjusted prices if repairs are not addressed. I submit this review understanding that my rating may take a ding, but in the spirit of VRBO, I feel the owner should address these issues before renting again or renters should be fully informed about what they should expect. Here are my observations: Pro: Pet friendly, spacious, very nice lake view, the grill was clean and operational, hot water plentiful, king bed downstairs comfortable, lots of DVDs, good washer and dryer, the owner communicated well and allowed us a Sat. to Sat. rental instead of their customary Sunday to Sunday. Con: Active mice infestation in the kitchen (found droppings in the cutlery drawers and pantry) and evidence they have been in the downstairs closets. The house is VERY worn and the filthiest VRBO rental I have ever seen. Examples: Upon arrival, we found a huge clot of hair in the downstairs shower drain and remaining debris from prior renters’ showers, toothpaste on the downstairs half bath counter, disgusting moldy woodwork at the base of the downstairs shower, insect and mice droppings on downstairs closet floors, dirty windows that impact the nice view, dirty sliding door tracks (not a big deal unless you have to dig your finger in them to place locking poles), dirty smudges near almost every light switch and on walls, stained and dirty stair rug pads, downstairs TV is literally held together with duct tape with no directions on how to operate, glasses were placed in the kitchen cabinets with heavy grease marks, dirty oven that looks like it has not been cleaned after a year or two of use, household surfaces (furniture, fireplaces, shelves, etc.) had not been dusted in a long while, all of the oven mitts had food stains and bits adhered to them. We found greasy red food crumbs on the upstairs fan/light remote, broken and missing towel bars, and a stained bed cover in the upstairs bedroom.
