About this property
Brown Dog`s Bluff - dog friendly - Incredible game room, private dock, coffee bar...What a vacation spot!
Welcome to Brown Dog`s Bluff at Smith Mountain Lake, your lakeside escape nestled in the well-groomed Waterfront golf course community. This beautifully updated home offers beautiful waterfront views and easy access to a “wake-free` cove, perfect for swimming, kayaking, and fishing.
As you step inside, you will be greeted by an open floorplan that effortlessly connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen—ideal for gathering with family and friends. The main living space includes cathedral ceilings and large windows that fill the area with natural light, creating an inviting and relaxing space. The well-appointed kitchen is perfect for culinary creations and allows you to stay connected to the group during meal prep.
The primary bedroom suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a King bed and large windows that showcase stunning lake views. Pamper yourself in the large ensuite bath, complete with a jetted tub and a separate walk-in shower. Two additional Queen bedrooms on the main floor provide ample space for family and friends, along with a full bathroom and a convenient half bath.
Notice: Outdoor security cameras are in use on the grounds for the safety and security of our guests and property. Cameras are positioned only in exterior areas (e.g., driveway, entrances, dock) and do not monitor any private or indoor spaces.
Venture downstairs to discover a fun-filled lower level, perfect for kids and adults. Here, you`ll find two sets of twin bunk beds, a spacious sectional couch, and a fantastic game room equipped with a ping-pong table, foosball, pool table, and dart board—ensuring endless entertainment for everyone even if a little rain should fall during your stay. This level also includes a half bath for added convenience.
Step outside onto the expansive deck or patio, where you can soak in the sun or take a leisurely stroll down the brick walkway to your private dock. The cove is perfect for relaxing, floating, or exploring with the kayaks provided. With ample parking for multiple vehicles and boat trailers, you can easily bring along your watercraft to fully enjoy everything Smith Mountain Lake has to offer.
Whether you’re seeking adventure or a peaceful retreat, Brown Dog`s Bluff is your perfect home away from home. Book your stay today and create unforgettable memories by the lake!
