The beds were so comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed, the kids love the ping pong and foosball table. The owners provided lots of essentials and the water toys were amazing!

Nice double porches. Water pressure was good and towels were fluffy. We did not run out of hot water. Beds were comfortable. We had a few hick-cups, but the host was responsive. ##### Liz S. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary T. 9 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had an amazing time at this great home. It had plenty of space with 2 kitchens (main floor & lower level). The host, Ron, was always quick to respond and very helpful each time. The amenities were many and top notch and of quality. The neighborhood was basically quiet and relaxing. We rented a boat and they all had a great time on the beautiful clear lake either fishing, wake & knee boarding or peaceful rides in the evenings enjoying the amazing sunsets...and the fun they had with the lily pad created so many giggles. Our time went so fast and we still can't quit talking about what a great time we had. Hopefully we make it back again sometime.This may sound silly, but the TP supplied was of high quality...not the commercial grade usually supplied at most of the rentals where we've stayed.Thank you Ron for sharing your home and all the extras. ##### Mary T.

This is an absolutely fantastic place to stay. It's right on the lake with comfortable places to hang out outside even in Nov when our group of cousins stayed. Two floors with two outside areas running the length of the house; two kitchens - one up, one down. Plenty of things to do without ever leaving the property! Trash and recycling are only a 5 mile drive away and drop off is 24 hrs/day. The host, Ronald, is an excellent communicator; responded quickly to any questions. We all agreed that we would come back any time. It would be a great place to come in warmer months to get more use of the lake but even with cooler temps, it is a great place to gather with friends and family! ##### Susan S.

Everyone had a great time, the house was beautiful, well furnished and stocked with necessities. Great location on the lake and we used the dock for our boat rental. If you’re looking for a place to stay for 8-10 people I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book this property! ##### Christopher M. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nick H. 6 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Beautiful spot with some nagging issues We really enjoyed coming to Smith Mountain Lake. The property is on a beautiful spot, and the views are outstanding. The house is overall comfortable and clean. There are a lot of water toys and spaces to relax. The kitchen is well equipped and the house overall is well stocked with supplies. Make sure you are aware of what you're getting with this home. This is an older home that has recently been given a facelift. As such, there are still some issues. The dock and deck are in need of some work and are splintered significantly (bring your tweezers if you will have kids running around on them). The house is smaller than it appears on the pictures. The hot tub was full of leaves and debris, and there were fixtures coming out of the wall in the bathrooms. Most "house rules" for listings exist on a continuum between the reasonable (no big parties, strip the beds when you leave) to the more unreasonable (basically clean the house yourself and maybe do some minor home repairs while you're at it). This one exists closer to the latter. For example, they want you to run the grill grates through the dishwasher (is that even a thing?) They ask you to take the trash to a dumpster that is a 20 minute round trip from the house. The alternative is paying $10 a bag for them to do it. When you're paying $5000 for 5 nights there, that seems like something that should be included. Overall, this is a nice spot to enjoy the lake from, just know what you're getting. ##### Nick H. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lee 7 Jul 2023 #### Lee We have stayed at this home multiple times. The owners have thought of everything,no need to worry about will this home have everything we need they have that and more. The personal touch they give to each renter means so much.

House had everything we needed. Stayed up in SML for a wedding so didn’t get to use the dock as much as we would have liked but Ronald had lots of lake toys in the shed including a 15ft lilypad. Tons of seating for the porch and the dock. Basement has foosball and ping pong tables. Very newly renovated and the beds were very comfortable. Beautiful view of SML. Host is very responsive. Will definitely stay here again. ##### Conner This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brad 6 Jul 2023 #### Great Stay It was a great stay at the house.

Awesome house with great updates and spacing for several families. Host was amazing with communication and made it feel warm and cozy. Have been vacationing at SML for 20+ years and could not have found a better location to all the best SML places plus an awesome view. Fully stocked kitchen made it easy for cooking large meals and had a great deck for grilling and outdoor eating. Boat dock is perfect for relaxing, fishing and playing; host provided the best lake toys! Great for families with small and older children. Highly recommend and look forward to staying again! ##### Ashlee B.

We had a wonderful time at this lake house! Plenty of room, very clean. It had everything we needed! Ronald was easy to reach and communication was great. No issues at all. Be mindful you will need to take the garbage with you and the dump is about 5-7 min away. It was fine it is Open 24/7. Almost every room has lake views. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Kristen P.
