The house is gorgeous and spacious. The ground level could easily be a separate living space with its own bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, and laundry. I made mistakes both checking in and out but the host and cleaning crew were quick and easy to help me fix it so I can’t commend them enough for that. If you’re someone who likes to cook food directly on the grill, you might want to make other plans due to some rust but the benefits of this home far outweigh that one minor thing.

Our first family vacation with the grandkids. They had a blast on the dock fishing for sunfish and relaxing by the water. We fished for striper 4 days and had success everyday and caught some nice smallmouth and largemouth bass as well. We would definitely recommend this rental for a family; very spacious, clean, and in a quiet cul de sac on the water. We will be back next year. ##### Sam P.

The house itself is clean and cozy, bathrooms and both kitchens are well stocked, and checking in/out is very easy! The dock has a great set up and the bar area saves a lot of back and forth for drinks/snacks throughout the day/night. We got a lot of use out of it over the summer, but also enjoyed it during our fall and winter stays. The neighborhood is well maintained and feels very safe. Overall, we have loved visiting the lake and staying at Shangrila! We are excited to come back again in the summer! ##### Belmira M.

The home was nice and very well stocked. It was so well stocked that we didn’t have room for the things we brought. The dock and view were a very nice addition. It was our first time at Smith Mountain Lake and it didn’t disappoint. The home was very comfortable. Absolutely appreciate the living room furniture. We had 7 adults stay for 9 nights and we were all very pleased with our stay. I will mentioned that in the pictures and description it says there is a queen sleeper sofa in one of the downstairs bedroom. It’s actual a queen bed which was a high plus. Would most definitely recommend a stay. ##### Barb or Carl F.

This year we chose Shangri-La to get some fresh-water fishing in. The house was well stocked, beds comfortable and the house was clean and inviting. Two of us took our boats, so having a boat ramp only minutes away was a bonus. The neighbors were friendly and the Host, Eric, was easy to communicate with and accommodating to our requests. The fishing did not disappoint - one of the guys even caught a citation flat-head catfish! We will definitely return to Shangri-La. ##### Paul P.

The location is quiet, convenient and has good parking for boats on the dock and cars/trailers by the house. It is about 75 yards down an extremely steep hill to get from the house to the dock and some extras were not in working order, ie: no darts, fishing rods are a mess, kayaks are not good and pool table is uneven. No patio covers anywhere in case of rain. And there is no place to leave trash outside, no outside trash cans. ##### Willie G. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sara P. 14 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing stay in a great location Overall, the property is very good for a week's stay. Nice location and adequate parking space, good functional spare kitchen space and laundry area. Minor problems for our group: access to the dock is much steeper than shown in pictures; the last set of stairs by the water needs a handrail. One of our group has some health issues and it limited his trips to the water due to needing assistance to safely navigate the stairs and steep sidewalk. This should be disclosed in the description / pictures of the property The AC was very slow to cool the house (it was very hot outside) and in looking at the unit, the filters were fully clogged. There were extra filters but they did not fit the unit. Otherwise, everything was great. Thank you for renting to us. ##### Sara P.

The dock is perfect and the water is wonderful on this little cove. We spent hours and hours on the dock, playing in the water, listening to music and just having a blast! Super close to Mitchell’s marina, there is a good restaurant a couple minutes away by boat or car. Grocery stores are a little farther away (20-25 min) so plan ahead. Walmart is 45 minutes away in Alta Vista. Everything in the house was nice. The beds were comfy, the water pressure was good, the two kitchens were supplied with all needed things and the pool table was a lot of fun! The one and only drawback of this house for us was the lack of trash facilities. No outdoor trash nor trash pick up so we had to drive 10 minutes to the dump. This is certainly not a deal breaker as everything else about our stay was great, but it’s very inconvenient. ##### Lori W.

Property had plenty of kitchen and dock supplies. Walk to the dock was very steep - some had difficulty traveling back and forth...one family member was never able to go down. House had issues with bugs inside and on deck. ##### Marlo G.

We had extended family with us for a graduation and the house was exactly what we needed. The two bedrooms and full bath on the main level was perfect for the grandparents. The location was so peaceful. The house had everything we needed to cook for the entire family. ##### Cheryl W.
