We all had a wonderful time. Bonfires at night, boating, swimming, canoe and kayak. The children and adults enjoyed the property and it's amenities.

For months our family, grandchildren included, eagerly anticipated our annual family vacation. This year it was at SML and it didn't disappoint!!! The property was very clean and well stocked even to liquid hand soaps at each sink! The house was spacious and well designed for community and private activities. Many amenities for children. There were a variety of games and the theater was such a treat! Our host was very receptive and prompt in communicating with us about any questions and requests. We had a GREAT time!!!

Myself, my husband and 4 friends stayed at Stephanie's cabin for his bday in January. The cabin is beautiful and has so many things to do both inside and outside. We all enjoyed the theater room, game room and the fire pit. Im 6 months pregnant and couldn't enjoy the hot tub but it was a huge hit with our friends. Stephanie is very communicative and a great host.

This house had everything for kids and adults! The kitchen was well equipped. The game room and media room kept the kids occupied. There was wood for the fire pit. And the hot tub was great. We loved staying at this house! We highly recommend this place for big families!

Wonderful couple of days.

We loved this house!! The house was huge, it had a great first floor with 4 bedrooms, living room, large kitchen, and a gorgeous sunroom. Then it had a massive second floor/basement that was fully furnished! It had a ton of kid toys, play kitchen, pool table, and media room. Perfect place for the kids to play while the adults were playing! The host was responsive and checkin/checkout details were thorough and easy! We hope to be back one day, maybe during the summer so we can fully enjoy the lake!

Everyone had a great time

Everything was great! House was clean and fully stocked with essentials. We loved the amenities, in our time we took advantage of the fire pit, hot tub, screened porch and great outdoor amenities. We also loved the kayaks and paddle board. Host was great and responded immediately when we asked for an extra light bulb for the porch. We will be back for sure?

The house had everything. My family loved it. It also had all the toys for the lake, excluding a boat. We may do that next time. Lots of fun had by all.

Our vacation stay at Smith Mountain Lake was absolutely one of the best ever! Our family which includes teenagers and adults enjoyed a week of relaxation, some fishing and lots of boating. We had a great host and staff that were very proactive in making sure our stay was great! They checked on us regularly and were really attentive to any needs. Great house, great staff, great time!

It was delightful to stay at the Goodview Lakehouse. Even though it rained for some of the trip our kids and their friends took kayaks, canoes, and splash pad out. We used the pool table and movie room happily during the wet evenings! The kitchen was fully stocked for dinners we got ingredients for at Food Lion about 25mins away. Great stay for four of us and our family friends with 2 adults/2 kids ;)

My friends and I rented this property for a long weekend- it was the first time we had all been together in almost ten years. Among the six couples, only two have children. We picked this house because of the abundant activities for kids and adults! Between the movie theater, billiards table, indoor play area for the kids, as well as ample living space, none of us were ever bored or crowded. We all traveled from various parts of the east coast and arrived at different times- the Host let us check in early!! The property manager was present when needed but not over bearing. He consistently provided firewood when asked as well as brought us a bag of ice on the first day. The hosts husband even came in quietly and unnoticed to help us figure out the sound in the theater room. The walk down to the dock is STEEP I highly recommend driving down in a truck instead of walking- and I highly recommend spending time down there- it’s beautiful! Because we visited in December, we chose to spend little time on the water- brrrr!! But would highly consider renting this property again in the summer to take advantage of its beautiful location and outdoor amenities. The area leading up to the house is a little messy and a few properties quite run down, but this property is beautifully taken care of and updated. The host provided sweet personal touches (including a decorated Christmas tree and cookies to all bake together). Oh! And don’t go right out of the driveway! My family ended up getting stick in our car trying to get back up this muddy steep hill we accidentally drove down 🤦�🏻�‍♀️ Once again, the host was more than accommodating, picked up her phone the second I called and immediately sent help! (We are still laughing about that experience). All in all 10/10! Great time, great fun, wonderful memories made.

We were traveling to the Gathering Place from Virginia Beach, Ohio and Northern Virginia and all arriving @ 1:00pm. I contacted Stephanie to see if we could get an earlier check-in time than the 4pm time. She was very timely in letting us know that we could check in at 1:00pm. She was very easy to reach by phone if we had questions. The house is absolutely beautiful and very spacious. The game room had a children's play area which my great nephews loved. We spent alot of time at the fire pit, so the property manager always made sure we had enough fire wood for the fire pit and the fire place in the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at SML and will return for our family reunions! Thank you Stephanie for everything you have done for the Moore family!!

Our family group of 14 really loved the location and amenities of this home. It's very spacious and has lots of activities, inside and out, available. Our kids were never bored! All these strengths compensate well for a lack of attention to some details in the home. We had a wonderful time.

Great place and time at SML!

We loved the house and the location on the lake. This house has everything you need for a large group and it's big enough that it never felt crowded. We also liked the dock area and just hanging out there in the evening. As I said it was a perfect stay.

This home was absolutely immaculate! I tend to be a neat freak and we walked in and it felt like home! Kitchen was Very spacious and plenty of room for everyone to sit down and eat together. Plenty of activities for the children and for the adults. Pool table, foosball ping-pong you name it this house had it! Kids enjoyed watching their favorite movie in the theater. Spectacular views from the dock! Plenty of seating for everyone and we all enjoyed the water carpet! We all had a blast! Hope to come back soon!!!

This is a lovely home equipped with everything you need. The dock is beautiful for relaxing and also has lots of toys-our kids loved the floating carpet. The house itself keeps everyone entertained with fire pit, pool, air hockey, jackpot, movie theater and much more. We loved the spacious kitchen and lots of space for everyone. There had been a bad storm which caused the loss of power the night we arrived. Stephanie was wonderful to keep us updated on when power would be restored and offered to run over emergency supplies. We were very appreciative of the attentiveness and care. A great week!!

A wonderful place in an amazing area. We were a group of 10 and each member enjoyed every moment of it. The house is very suitable for kids too. We would definitely be back one day.

It was great!

We were traveling to the Gathering Place and Stephanie reached out to me to say we could get into the house earlier than the 4pm time. This was great as we were going to get there earlier and were going to sightsee. The house is beautiful and spacious. There were 8 of us there and we all had our own space and large enough spaces to have all 8 of us together to play games and just talk and of course enjoy meals together. The dock was beautiful with items that could be used on the water. Everyone walked down to the dock, but there just wasn’t enough time to truly enjoy it. The house was well stocked and everything we needed was there. We had a fantastic stay at the Gathering Place and really hope to return soon hopefully for a longer stay so we can take advantage of all the house and property has to offer. Thank you Stephanie for sharing your beautiful house with strangers. You made our stay enjoyable and always was just a text away if we needed something. God bless you and thank you again!
