Walkout waterfront condo located in Bernard's Landing at Smith Mountain Lake!

10/10 Excellent

"Our daughter attends Liberty University, so we picked her up and then spent a long weekend here. Great alternative to the busy parent weekend on campus. Beautiful view and hiking close by or you can just enjoy time lakeside. The property has everything you could possibly want. The kitchen is extremely well stocked as well as all the little extras you could need throughout the condo. Plenty of blankets, towels, and even shampoos and body wash. These hosts have thought of everything. Beds were comfortable and decor is very welcoming. We enjoyed the beautiful view of Lake morning and evening from the patio. The community amenities were great. We enjoyed basketball, pickleball, hot tub and the pool. The host was extremely responsive regarding any questions we had. I highly recommend and hope we can come back soon!"
