About this property

Abundant Peace; Lakefront House with Dock, Canoe, Kayaks and WiFi Internet

Located on the end of a quiet cove with little boat traffic, the home has a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and dining area which seats six and a cozy living room with a smart TV. A sun room extends off the living room with another TV with Roku. A deck overlooks the woods and dock. A full bath and a large master bedroom with a king size bed complete the upper level.

Downstairs is another full bath, a second bedroom with a queen size bed and another with a twin over double bunk bed. The family room on this level has a queen size sleeper and another smart TV. Sliding glass doors open to the covered patio. A washer and dryer are located on this level.

WiFi Internet is provided at our house for our guests.

The dock has room for your boat and PWC and there is a large party deck above the dock. You can take the stairs to the dock or walk down the gravel path. We've kept the rental price lower than most because there are a lot of stairs to get to the dock and portions of the gravel path are steep. We've added lights on the dock and the stairs as well as a fire pit behind the house.

A community area with a tennis court, 2 pickleball courts, a basketball area and a large open field with a volleyball court is across the street.

Crystal Shores Marina (formerly the Smith Mountain Yacht Club), a state boat ramp, several marinas and the state park are close by.

Location, Location, Location!: The house is conveniently located across from the R-27A marker which is between Halesford Bridge and the SML State Park. The Halesford Bridge area and Bridgewater Plaza are about 5 minutes by boat and 10 minutes by car. Here you will find several restaurants, shops, game arcade, miniature golf, and an ice cream parlor. There are also several marinas in this area that have fuel and rent boats and jet skis. The State Park is about 10 minutes by boat and 15 minutes by car. It features a boat dock, sandy beach, concession stand, nature tours and plenty of open area. The Westlake area is about 15 minutes by car and is inaccessible by boat. It has a Kroger grocery store, CVS pharmacy, several specialty shops, more restaurants and a movie theater. The closest grocery store is Food Lion which is only 5 minutes from the house.

More Features: Our house is located on the end of a quiet cove with few waves and very little boat traffic. My kids love to swim and fish off the dock and there is a canoe, two sit-on-top kayaks, two sit-inside kayaks, and a pedal boat available on the dock so you can float around the cove or paddle around the lake. There is a 10' X 20' floater for docking your boat or jet skis. Directly across the street from the house is a large open community area that is great for soccer, football, kickball or Frisbee and can be used for overflow car or boat trailer parking. A fenced multipurpose court is also located here where you can play pickleball, tennis and shoot some basketball. Pickleball paddles and balls are available for our guests to use.

We rent weekly during the summer. We take summer rentals of less than a week only if the house is still available at the last minute, and those minimum stays are noted on the calendar. When I rent, I like to pay a refundable security deposit instead of paying damage insurance so I've enabled that option. However, if you'd prefer to pay for insurance, please let me know and I'll enable that for you.

Great Stay on Smith Mountain Lake

The house was perfect for our long weekend at the lake. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable and there were bunches of games to play. The dock is terrific though a bit of a climb down and up the stairs. And Drifters is right around the corner by boat for great food, beverages and fun. Chris is a terrific communicator and sent us all the info we might need in advance. Working with him was easy. And as a bonus, we had multiple deer wandering through the front and back yard posing for pictures! You'll enjoy your stay here and all the amenities Smith Mountain Lake offers.

SML mini vacation

The property was exactly as advertised. It was clean and well-kept and nicely furnished. We used the canoe and the dock, the party deck, the outdoor fireplace and the grill and the kitchen.

Fantastic Getaway!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at SML with access to the water, using the kayaks, playing games and cooking great meals! The workout of the 168 steps was no joke regardless of fitness level, but it was certainly doable, we just loaded up with snacks and beverages so that we didn't need to take multiple trips back to the house and enjoyed hours floating in the water and hanging out on the lovely shaded deck.

Quiet Cove

Peaceful is correct. This location is tucked away in a quiet cove. We felt like the only ones on the lake even on July 4th weekend. We loved fishing from the dock and kayaking in the mornings. The house was comfortable and well equipped.

Just Right

The property was just right for our group of six. The description is accurate regarding the stairs down to the lake. We found everything needed in the house for a week at the lake; TV, internet, beds, sofas, kitchen and bbq grill. Communication with the property owner was very prompt.

Nice place but 126 steps to boat dock

The rental was as advertised except for the 126 steps to the boat dock with no cart available. They did not say a cart was available, but they also need to identify there is 126 steps to the boat Dock/lake. Other than the steps down to the boat dock, the house was nice

Great house, great location.

Everything met/exceeded our expectations. Yes, the walkway to the dock was a workout, but that wasn't a surprise. The home was clean and the few maintenance issues were merely cosmetic. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful family get-a-way

Perfect for fishing, swimming and family time out at smith mountain. Access to public boat ramp. Family fun and dining about a 15 min drive and 10 min drive from Food Lion. Landlord communicated promptly and gave me all my information in such a timely manor. I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay. Price is perfect value!

Mother/Daughter or Sisters/Cousins

My sister and I, along with our 37 yr old daughters, decided to have a weekend just for us, the first in 15 years. This was a wonderful place to reminisce and share family memories . Great hiking opportunities, kayaking, and other local attractions of special interest such as a visit to the Alpaca Farm, ice cream from the Homestead creamery….lots of local fun!

Lake house

Great location on the quiet side of the lake exactly what we needed,the steps to the lake are alot on the way back ,and at night you can't really go hang by the water because the stairs to the water don't have enough lighting plus if there is any condensation they are very slippery. It does need a little bit of a better cleaning job.Overall though the house has everything you need for the lake and great spot next to pickle ball and basketball court and the owner Chris was great at communicating and getting right back to us when we had any questions.

The house was clean, there were toys and games for the kids, and the cove was nice and quiet. Would stay again. Make sure to take everything for the boat on the first trip. You only want to do the stairs once a day! :-)

Nice vacation

We had a great week. House was a quick commute to restaurants by land and boat. Every room in the house was very clean and lots of space for family. There were many stairs going down to the dock. Owner was easy to reach and communicate with. We enjoyed our vacation at the lake!
