Stop searching- you’ve found THE perfect spot to vacation! Our first time to SML and Dockside Daze hands down exceeded every want and desire for a fabulous vacation! The family agreed this was our best summer vacation ever out ranking Myrtle abd OBX. The house is just amazing- ample space inside and out, cozy beds, stocked kitchen, great TVs, grills, firepit, close to shops & grocery stores. But that view, the water toys, the tiki bar, the cove…heaven! Cannot thank Heather & Ken enough for their gracious hospitality and entrusting us with their home! We are already planning for 2025!

Thank you for making our vacation so easy.

We have been vacationing at SML for many years and this was the best rental so far. Loved the location, house had everything you needed and more, clean, best beds ever, and the Dock is amazing! We have now found our yearly rental until we can get a home of our own on the lake. Thank you!

Our stay at the lake house was absolutely fabulous! The location is stunning and convenient, offering breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. The amenities were top-notch, and we particularly enjoyed the dock and the tiki bar, which provided endless fun and relaxation. We made great use of all the features the house had to offer, including the kayaks, paddle boat, and floats, which added an extra layer of enjoyment to our stay.
The house itself is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We can't say enough about how great this lake house is – it truly exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a perfect getaway (except the week we want ;) )!
The owners were awesome to work with and checked in to make sure are stay was a great one!

Dockside Daze was amazing! The owners really went all out with the technology. Charging stations everywhere, TVs in each room. Even the porch and dock have a TV. The sound system at the dock was a great touch. We really enjoyed having music down there. The neighbors are super friendly and my kids made a new friend. You can't beat the location to all the Smith Mountain Lake attractions. 10 out of 10!

The way the owners have the property setup is fantastic. Big TVs, grill, fire ring, bar on dock with TV, etc. Whether you want to lounge in the shade, go out on the lake, or watch the big game it’s setup great. Quality bumpers and cleats on dock to protect your boat. Nice house. Comfortable beds. Nice bathrooms. We’ve been coming to SML for 20 years and this is the best house we have stayed in.

This was the best little getaway! We wanted a relaxing spot to take the kids for a couple days during spring break to relax and fish and this was perfect! The house had everything and the hosts were amazing. We will definitely be back!

House had everything you need for a great vacation!

We had terrible weather the first two days of our stay, but the house was very cozy and there were plenty of throw blankets for us to snuggle up. The games and puzzles were great! We enjoyed all the TV's and cable access (to watch Penn State win the Big 10 wrestling title). Once the weather improved, we enjoyed the large backyard and the beautiful deck and tiki bar. You can't beat the location. It was our first time at SML and we were glad we were very close to most of the restaurants on the lake.

We came to Dockside Daze as 2 Mothers & 2 Daughters for a week of fun, laughs, & making memories. It did Not disappoint! The house and property are immaculate and close to everything such as grocery stores, shopping, dining, vineyards, ect. The house also has everything you could possibly need to cook meals (fully stocked of cookware, dishes, seasonings, convenient condiments, multiple grills, and so on). The beds were extremely comfortable for great nights of sleep as well as a very quiet neighborhood. It is such a tranquil and peaceful place.
The weather was not as good as expected for being on the water but the owners of Dockside Daze went out of their way to give Us the Best experience we could have imagined. Heather & Ken are wonderful and gracious hosts. They offered to take Us out on their boat to have a nice evening tour of the lake. They told stories and showed Us many things we would not have had the chance to do. We cannot Thank them enough! It was such a pleasure to meet and get to know them and they truly made our trip memorable! They also gave Us ideas of things to do on the chilly days as well as great restaurant options. Napoli on the Lake was our favorite. Fabulous food!
We travel to meet at a lake every year (as we all live in different states) and we will definitely be coming back to Dockside Daze next year to enjoy Smith Mountain Lake again. It's a beautiful area with friendly people & I cannot say enough great things about the Owners & property! TY

This is a wonderful home to stay where you feel right at home. Owners have thought of everything! And the lake….lake front to this beautiful lake where there’s the most beautiful view and direct access to the lake. The entire outdoors areas were perfect for our family and our fun filled vacation! Can’t wait to return to Dockside Daze and SML!!

A wonderful Place to stay and we will no doubt seek out availability here when we desire to re-visit SML. I would ask that owners look at the Dock Ladder as it was difficult climb in/out of water.

We have stayed at different houses the last few years and this one is probably our favorite! The house was very clean and the check in off was was easy. The pictures and description are accurate. The house was perfect for us with three bedrooms two full bathrooms and a large couch for a person to sleep on.
We had 7 people and 2 dogs and there was plenty of room for us.
The back deck with the two tables were perfect for morning coffee and dinner with a great view of the lake. The dock has plenty of chairs and floats we didn’t have to bring any. The tiki bar was so cool! And the fridge down there was perfect for drinks . We cooked every night and the kitchen had everything we needed.
Wi-Fi was fast and didn’t lag.
The Moneta food lion is a short drive away or you can go to the other side and go to Kroger.
The owners were available via phone or text for any issues!
Overall an amazing property! Can’t wait to book next years vacation :)

Thank you so much for allowing us to use your home. We normally go to the Gulf Coast, but decided to stay more local and use our personal boat. The property was amazing! Great location and amenities! Highly recommend and hope to stay again in the future!

We enjoyed our week at SML. This home was great for our family. Our hosts were very attentive and easy to communicate with. The home is generously stocked. Beds were very comfortable and bathrooms were updated. The outside areas allowed many spaces to relax and enjoy the lake. Great dock area with Tiki bar. Our dogs enjoyed the yard and water. Lots of room to run and play.
It is also convenient to restaurants and shopping.

We rented Dock Daze for a long weekend when our daughter graduated from Virginia Tech.
Dock Daze is depicted perfectly in the description and the pictures. The owner was attentive, kind, knowledgeable of the area, gave exceptional recommendations on where to eat, and very generous of her home.
The home and area was spotless and had lots of thoughtful touches for guests. It was also fully equipped with lots of extra perks. The dock and outside area.... well it was extraordinary!
Fun, relaxing, great entertaining spot, and located on the perfect part of the lake! Dock Daze's location is in the heart of everything, which makes it easy to access anything from renting a boat to going to the grocery store - you name it, it's within 10 minutes. With that being said.....the house is located on a private road in a cozy cove offering the best of both worlds - privacy and easy access to all that Smith Mountain Lake has to offer.
I look forward to another visit at Dock Daze and thank the owners for sharing their slice of Heaven on the lake!
Side note: We attended two graduation events at VT (about 1 hr 20 mins) on the Friday we were there. We drove back to Dock Daze in between the ceremonies with no trouble.

Our stay was fantastic and the house was perfect. Everything was super clean and our hosts went above and beyond. The house was really well appointed and the dock and amenities were perfect. In addition the location was ideal - both lakeside location and closeness to restaurants and shops. We had a perfect stay.

Great location, close to a lot of things. Property was beautiful with the fall colors! Lots of board games and things to do at the property. Love that they included a TV in every room, most places don’t. One thing I’d add is a charcoal grill. Love the taste of a steak on a charcoal grill by the fire. Will definitely rebook for the summer time so we can enjoy the water!

What a delightful house in a perfect location! Clean, well appointed, just right. We spent every evening down on the dock soaking up the sunset. Very happy with this choice. Would love to come back again.
4.0
Wish I could give a 4.5. The house is in an excellent location - quiet cove, but super close to the main road and town, plus an easy, short slope to the water and dock area. The owners have thought of many things to make the stay very convenient - no need to bring a bunch of household supplies as normally required when renting around SML. The beds are VERY comfortable and I sleep like the Princess and the Pea! My only complaint is the place does have a cigarette and slight musty smell, especially in the master. Something important to know in advance if you're sensitive. Otherwise, I highly recommend.

My wife and I visited with my sister and borther-in-law for the weekend. The property was perfect for our weekend getaway. Everything you need (excluding food/drinks) was provided by the owner.
5.0
This is a cozy little home and worked perfectly for our family (6 adults and 2 toddlers). This place has plenty of indoor and outdoor games. The back patio is perfect for your afternoon lunch or dinner and has nice coverage for sun or rain. The dock is a great size with enough seating for 6 adults. We have a 25 1/2 foot boat and had no problems tying it off at the dock. Great weekend getaway!

We had a nice time but too many spiders.
5.0
It's a nicely maintained home, but small--only 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I would recommend it to a family of two parents and two kids. It was a bit small for us, but it was such a great place, we made it work. The outside property and dock are fantastic. The kids had a great time swimming off the dock, riding the paddle boat and kayak and tubes.
