Excellent Vacation!

Our family enjoyed this home. It was great for our family of all ages. The house is very large and accommodating. We appreciated the games, puzzles, etc. The steps from the house to the dock were tough for the older guests, but the kids didn't mind multiple trips per day. The dock was very nice.

Wonderful Family Vacation In A Beautiful Settings!

The property delivered as promised and offered A LOT of something for each family member! We went swimming everyday, rented a boat from the very nearby marina and had a great time fishing off the dock. Kids didn't want to leave and us grownups cannot blame them! Looking forward to a return next summer.

There were some minor issues at first, I contacted the owner and it was addressed immediately, none of the issues affected our stay as we had a great time. Our daughter and son and spouses were there and we had my niece and her family there who now live in Ecuador. Good time for all

Friends Lake Trip

This was our first year renting on Smith Mountain Lake and we loved it! We had 10 adults and felt like the house had plenty of room for all of us. The extra fridge in the basement was definitely clutch. The house was very clean, nice layout, well stocked and amazing views. The dock is nice and large so there’s room for everyone to hang out or swim around. The owner provided all the necessary information and always responded in a reasonable amount of time. Would definitely rent this house again.

Beautiful location but not well maintained.

The Lake house had incredible views with amenities as advertised (pool table, fire pit, dock on the lake with great view,etc.)However, the property is not well-maintained but you get a long list of chores required before checking out or you are threatened with fees.Maintenance issues:The cleaning staff didn’t clean well, leaving us with dirty countertops, dining table, dishes & floors. As other guests mentioned there were no dishwasher pods but the owner offered to reimburse us for the pods if we went to the store which is 30 mins round trip.So we cleaned the above ourselves. We also had to search for bath towels & place bed sheets on all the beds. The leather couch was severely worn & ripped. Both twin white chairs need deep cleaning. One of the screen doors was broken. Some beds had very thin comforters. We asked Host for extra blankets or throws but had none. List of chores before checkout:Make sure all dishes are washed and put away.Wash at least two loads of laundry. 1st load of towels and 2nd of bed sheets. 1st load must be totally dry. Remove all trash bags and take (off property) to a Waste Disposal Center. Closest dump center added 40 mins to our route home. A 25 Per Bag fee if you leave any behind. Next time, we will carefully review in advance if host’s expectations are reasonable before we book another VRBO. There’s no pleasure spending our vacation cleaning someone’s else unkept property or having to take 5 days worth of trash in our car.

Check-in was easy, house is great. I wouldn’t recommend anyone over 30, out of shape or extremely young stay if you’re planning on going to the lake/dock multiple trips. The steps are brutal, they aren’t all the same rise/run & there’s a bunch of them. The boat slip use is great, the view is great. I would highly recommend for a fall or Christmas trip.

Cozy, family-friendly home

We enjoyed the house and the location on Smith Mountain Lake. The house was well-appointed and furniture was comfortable, but worn and showing signs of a few years of use. We loved the big kitchen and the big living room. The steps to the dock are not for the faint-of-heart, but having access to the dock was wonderful! Some of the outdoor furniture was not usable. Specifically the folding chairs on the deck box were rusted closed, and there no outdoor umbrellas for sunny afternoons. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing. We could hear many birds and saw several deer in the backyard. Never heard the neighbors!Overall, we were happy with the house, the location, and Smith Mountain Lake.

Great Place for late Fall weekend trip

The property overall is great. the location is plus. It is little tricky to find the entry at night. some of our party feedback 1. the beds are too soft other than the beds in master bedroom. 2. there is no dishwasher detergent. After communicating with Laura, we were told someone will drop some, but we did not see any during our stay. We ended up hand-wash all dishes during our 3-night stay, which is not ideal. when we left, we basically have to hand wash them and load them into the dishwasher without any detergent.

We rented the house to spend a weekend riding horses and hanging out with friend and family. One house had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the fire pit. The location is convenient to restaurants and grocery store. Maybe we will be back in the summer to enjoy the dock area.
