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.

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 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.

Wonderful Vacation Place

Our host, Terry, was friendly and helpful. The townhouse was very nice with great accommodations, easy water access and extra amenities (pool table, kayaks, hot tub, games and more). We all very much enjoyed our stay there last week, and highly recommend it.

Great Family Spot

We loved spending the weekend with our family here! The quiet cove was perfect for playing in the water while still being close to the marina. All of our kids from 6-18 yrs. loved the hot tub, kayaks, pool table and the beauty of the lake! Great getaway.

Perfect Family Getaway

We had a great experience here. The townhouse is clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The view of the lake is lovely and we enjoyed hiking every day at the state park. Our kids had a blast and my 3 year old cried when we got home because he wanted to stay longer!

Perfect for a large family!!!!

This was our 3rd year going to Smith Mountain Lake and our 2nd year staying here. This place is perfect, we love it! There is plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. This place is always very clean and has plenty of activities for kids of all ages. The view of the lake is beautiful and has perfect access for jet skis and the boat. Definitely will be back next year!

Family getaway for birthday celebration

We had an amazing time celebrating my children’s birthday. We stayed for an extended weekend. Weather was beautiful; scenery was amazing. The property was great we enjoyed the space, played pool, cooked meals together, ate in the deck, enjoyed the sunset and had a pleasant time as a family. The hot tub was a favorite with everyone. We rented a boat while we were there and enjoyed a day in the water. Overall, would definitely come back and stay here again.

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.
