Nice house, host was very nice. We had a problem with the air when we first got there and they took care of it right away! Very responsive and super nice. It was too warm to use the hot tub but it was nice and clean. Having the kayaks was awesome. We did not swim in the area of the house due to having friends who have a house close by with a dock. But it looked calm and nice. The view was also very pretty. Loved the decks and it was fun to end the night with a game of pool. Will definitely look into staying here again if we come to Smith Mountain.

Nice stay on a beautiful lake

I would have given this place a five star, but we needed to bring our own sheets and towels, which was inconvenient. And it would do a whole lot of good if they supplied washcloth, hand towels, bath, towels, and kitchen towels., To expect people who are traveling to pack these things is unacceptable. Other than that, it was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub and the kayaks. The lake is absolutely stunning. We would love to come back to the same condo, but under the conditions of them supplying these items. Thank you for having us.

We thoroughly enjoyed this property. From the cleanliness to the location and the owners ability to make our vacation stay loaded with all the amenities that made us want for nothing. The area is beautiful as well.

Large Townhouse

We stayed here for the Thanksgiving holiday and the kitchen was more than adequate. Multiple levels allowed for my family to spread and have privacy. Be sure to arrive with everything you need, nothings close.

Relaxing, great amenities, recommended

Great amenities with kayaks, hot tub, pool table and kids room with games and tv. Lovely main room and bedrooms, peaceful. Spacious deck overlooking lake was perfect for doing everything outside. Not many people staying nearby so no noise around the property.

Relaxing Lake Stay

We had a great time at the property. The view of the lake was peaceful. The hot tub was relaxing. There is a pool table but we didn’t use it. The kitchen had a full spice rack and a few other pantry items available. Terry did a great job communicating with us.

Excellent Townhome On Quiet Cove

This was our very first visit to SML and we fell in love! Terry has such a wonderful property tucked away on a quiet cove. Clean, stocked with so many extras we never see at other rentals. We talked many times during our stay about coming back and staying at Terry’s place! Thank you for answering all of my questions Terry! You have a lovely place and we hope to come back next year!!

Smith Mt. Lake - a nice change of pace

Property was just as described and easy to make ourselves at home. We typically go to the beach but this was a nice change of pace. Having the kayaks already provided was a big plus and simplified things. Beautiful sunset trips out on the water multiple nights was just like something from a postcard or a movie. Oddly in 28 years of marriage we've never vacationed at the same property twice but I could easily imagine planning a future trip that breaks that streak.

Perfect house for our summer lake vacation

We just got home from our trip to SML and I cannot say enough great things about Terry's home. The house was situated in a quiet cove with easy access to the water. There were floaties to use as well as kayaks so plenty to keep three teen boys busy outside! Inside there was a game room upstairs with a pool table and tons of games. The basement aka "teen cave" had a TV and gaming system where the boys spent the evenings.The house was a great setup for our family and everyone had plenty of space. The house was well appointed with extras such as shampoo/conditioner, spices in the kitchen and tons of dishes and cookware. We had a wonderful week and would rent again from Terry!

Relaxed

We enjoyed this home! Lots of space, amazing location, and felt peace. The kayaks were fun and easy to use! The grocery store is 30 minutes away so plan your week. The restaurants about about the same distance. I didn’t read about needing to bring/rent my own linens and towels but the host gave me info to the lady who does that. It was an extra expense but I should have read the details so that was my fault. The upstairs beds (king and queen) were super comfy. Be prepaid to take the trash to the dumpster that’s 5 miles away as that’s part of checking out. We weren’t able to because our car was so packed. The host did not charge us the fee so that was very kind. Overall, a wonderful and relaxing stay!

Enjoyable and relaxing stay

We had a VERY enjoyable and relaxing stay here. This townhouse is nicely-decorated and well-provisioned, encompassing four stories from its basement family room with bunk beds to its top floor room with skylights and pool table. The views of the cove from the living room and upstairs balconies were amazing. We often ate outdoors at either of the two patio tables to enjoy the scenery. Beautiful weather for four days straight allowed us to take advantage of the provided kayaks to explore some neighboring coves, as well as swim in the local cove. The neighborhood is also conducive to taking walks. We found the hot tub to be very relaxing, even when it was raining outside. Speaking of rain, there is no shortage of things to do if it rains. We made the trek up to the pool table room at least once or twice a day. That room also has shelves stocked with a variety of games for children and adults. The TV's provided a large selection of streaming options to watch as well. We recommend Tuscan Tavern and Blackwater Cafe for dinner, and the Ice Cream Cottage at Bridgewater Plaza for dessert. Thank you for a totally relaxing time!

About the host

Hosted by Terry McGauvran

Host profile image
Our family, after years of considering a lake house, acted upon our dream in 2017 after discovering our future waterfront home at Saunders Point. Our adult children and their partners have always enjoyed outdoor activities on the water. So upon seeing this special place, all agreed that Shangri-la is where we need to be. -

Why they chose this property

Love all the space this property provides, and the large main deck with two tables and chairs, not to mention the lake views. The structural offset of 4 individual town homes gives it a private feel with the landscaping and terraced steps to the water an added plus.

What makes this property unique

Being here on the forested southeastern shore of the lake is like stepping back to a simpler place and time. A place for renewal. Whether fishing, swimming, kayaking, or walking nearby hiking trails, or perhaps simply relaxing on our decks overlooking the water, we invite you to settle back and share the joy of this natural setting with us.
