Very beautiful property, decorated perfectly to enhance lake life. The owners have thought of every detail to ensure your stay is flawless. This appears to be a newer property that’s well cared for. We rented a boat from a local marina to fish on the lake. Every aspect of our rental experience was awesome!

Beautiful and relaxing lake home

We had a fantastic time at Kurt and Nancy's gorgeous lake home. This is one of the nicer VRBO rentals we have stayed in. Super clean, comfy beds, kitchen was very well equipped, amazing screened in patio overlooking the lake, and a fantastic dock to hang out. Very close to Smith Mountain Lake for nice hiking! We highly recommend staying here.

Excellent Stay in SML

Our family has enjoyed Smith Mountain Lake for a number of years. This property was exceptional - clean, well furnished, and stocked with everything you need for vacation. The house was great - we really enjoyed the screened-in porch, fire pit, and the boat dock. The kids particularly enjoyed the separate bunk house to hang out as well. Kurt was super receptive to any questions and we'd recommend to any family looking to explore/enjoy SML.

This was a great vacation for us, our adult children and their significant others. The kitchen is fully equipped and ready for you. Having the sheet and towels provided was really helpful. The screened in porch was a great place to start our day with coffee and a good book. We will definitely be back :-)

Nice stay

Great house. Great Dock. Great patio. Great fire pit. Had two stand up paddle boards, two kayaks and a really nice blow up with two benches. Bar on the dock with fridge was convenient. Rented a pontoon and fit nicely on the side of the dock. Morning coffee on the screen porch was nice.

Beautiful home and getaway

House was beautiful and clean. Everything possibly needed was provided and the beautiful sunroom was a favorite amongst our group. We had easy communication and quick responses from host. We really enjoyed the Cadillac of all docks. It was beautiful and comfortable and provided anything one might need to relax and enjoy the beautiful view in front of them. I have stayed at Smith Mtn lake for over 40 years and have never come across a dock like this one! Thanks and we will definitely book again.

New favorite at SML

We've been coming to SML for 20 years - the place on Surrey Dr far exceeded our expectations and will become our new go-to for renting on the waterfront. The house was new, so clean and just fantastic! Great floor plan for two couples with room to spare, kitchen was well stocked and appointed, tons of extras for cooking that most rentals don't think of. Cleanest grill on the lake, in my opinion. The screened in porch, the gas fire pit and the stone paths - wonderful outdoor experience. Now the dock - best one we've lounged on as far as space and layout - plenty of room to move around, stretch out and enjoy the view of a very quiet and protected cove. The floating dock was well-positioned - our boat was safe the entire stay. The dock also a full-sized fridge w/freezer. Rent this place for your next stay - you won't regret it!

The property is just perfect in every way for a family vacation on SML. Clean, beautifully decorated, with top notch amenities and appliances. The boat house dock is amazing for the entire family to spend all day and the evening right on the lake. We rented a boat and had a place to dock it. Top shelf all around.
