About this property

Cabin 2 at Cedar Key - Serene waterfront setting/No wake cove/Dog friendly!

Imagine mornings watching the cool mist rise off of the reflections of undeveloped forest, the “sound” of silence, beautiful views of sunset on the water, and potluck barbeque dinners on the back deck with friends. At the end of the day, enjoy the night sky the way it was intended, without any light pollution! If you’re looking for a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you’ve found the right place.

A shared dock gives full access to this serene no wake cove for swimming, paddleboarding, and docking your boat, so you can enjoy all the lake has to offer.

Our pet friendly atmosphere allows you to enjoy this setting without having to leave your canine family members behind.

Within a 30 minute drive, Smith Mountain Lake offers access to horseback riding, golf, hiking trails, and wineries. The nearby state park includes a small beach for younger visitors. This is Virginia's most popular lake and is a fisherman's paradise, with over 500 miles of shoreline on this 40-mile long, 20,000 acre lake stocked with bass, muskies, northern pike and panfish.

High-speed internet allows for viewing movies and shows from your own streaming accounts and the occasional remote work if absolutely necessary.

This two-bedroom, one bath cabin has a fully stocked kitchen and a charcoal grill for use on the full length deck.

A common dock is shared with neighbors in Cabin 1.

A dedicated parking spot is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.

Smoke-free property.

Central air conditioning and heat, ceiling fans throughout.

GUESTS SHOULD BRING LINENS (FOR ONE QUEEN AND TWO TWIN BEDS), BATH TOWELS, WASH CLOTHS, DISH TOWELS, ETC. Linens may be provided for an additional $75 fee.

While the cabin is dog-friendly, due to the increased wear and tear to the property and furnishings, as well as increased cleaning, there is a $50 pet fee. This is automatically assessed on the VRBO app but not on the PC/Mac website and may be added as a separate invoice after booking if not automatically included.

Enjoy your time "Unleashed"!

This was the most beautiful location to spend an anniversary weekend. The cabin was clean and the host’s left plentiful instructions for everything. We shared a dock with a neighboring cabin with the most gorgeous views. It was quiet and so refreshing. There’s enough to do around the area without feeling overwhelming. If you truly just want to “get away” do yourself a favor and visit this cabin with these wonderful hosts

Loved everything about this cabin. Perfect size for a family of three, beautiful location and views. Located in a quiet area with plenty of parking. A quick boat ride, 10-15 min, from Mitchell’s marina. Docked our boat at the shared dock. Plenty of space to park boat trailer in parking area. Very nice stay!! Would love to visit again
Best fishing right in front of cabins! Lots of coves

excellent property, fully stocked, great host, animal friendly. perfect in every way except giant oak tree which hangs over house and dropped literally thousands of acorns on deck which required 4 x a day sweeping to avoid slipping or being ingested by dog. if that tree was trimmed back, it would be 100% perfect!!

They thought of everything!

So much attention to detail. Our cabin was pet friendly and they included a small trash can outside for pet waste, waste pick up bags and wipes and pet water bowls. The beautiful porch had a gate which was completely secure for our pet so we could all hang out together without worry. It had enough paper products, including paper plates, bowls, towels, toilet tissue, Kleenex for our 3 day stay. The bathroom included shampoo, conditioner and lotion and the shower had good water pressure and a nozzle that was removable.The bed was comfortable. However, the queen sheets we brought to cover the queen bed did not fit, probably due to the depth of the mattress so I would bring king sheets next time.There were games, books and tv for your rainy day entertainment.But mostly, it was a lovely, clean cabin on a quiet cove on the lake, with it's own private dock and breathtaking views.

Another great stay!

We have been staying at this great little cabin on Smith Mountain Lake for several years now, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The owners are great to work with, respond quickly to any questions, and each year they have made improvements that make the experience even better. If you have a small family and are looking for an excellent getaway on the lake, this is the place!

Fabulous SML Weekend

We had the most relaxing weekend in Cabin 2 at Cedar Key. The accommodations were perfect for me, my husband, and our terrier pup. Sipping wine in the sunshine on the dock, fall hikes, and even a couple of chilly swims were highlights of our stay. The cabin is small, but mighty, equipped with everything we needed for our getaway and then some. Thanks for hosting us!

Loved it!

This cabin had everything I could ask for and more. We are a family of four and two docs. We loved our time at the cabin. I brought enough food for our weekend and found the kitchen to be well and nicely equipped. I was able to cook all of our meals without issue. Our children loved the dock and we all enjoyed the deck. It was lovely playing board games in the evening and we rented a boat from parkway Marina and had a lovely time out on the lake. I've never boated before but found it to be pretty easy to navigate. I've never spent much time at a lake but this trip has made me a convert. We will be back!

Well furnished Cabin with Amazing Lake View

Stayed here with my wife for just a short weekend. Cabin was well stocked with everything we needed and the bed was very comfortable. Really enjoyed sitting outside on the large deck and taking in the lake, which seems to be in a quieter section. Would definitely stay here again.

Awesome cabin vacation

Great little cabin for the family. Its located on the east end of the lake, so its a lot more quiet. For the firat few days, we were the only people around, and we basically had the lake cove to ourselves. Beautiful setting to eat breakfast on the deck with the view of the water. Great hosts as well. Very responsive and took care of everything. Highly recommend!

I would definitely recommend this place for anyone just looking to get away for some peace and quiet. I’m hoping to go back soon and bring my puppies. Very pet friendly atmosphere.

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Dittman

Host profile image
Ken and Cindy Fasanella are healthcare workers who live in Pittsburgh, PA. Ken has been enjoying Cedar Key since his college days at the University of Virginia, and he and Cindy have been making it an annual destination since 2016. In 2020, we had the opportunity to make our favorite place on Earth into our second home. Our hope is that our guests are able to enjoy the cabin the same way we have, as the ultimate family vacation spot in the summer and a peaceful getaway the rest of the year.

Why they chose this property

This is a truly magical place on Smith Mountain Lake. It is an old fashioned fishing village built the same year the lake was created, right in the middle of a nature preserve, across a cove from protected State Nature Preserve, which will never be developed.

What makes this property unique

It is on the shore of a "no wake" cove allowing for peaceful swimming and use of personal watercraft (kayaks, rafts, SUP boards) without rapid boat traffic affecting your personal safety or peace of mind. Additionally, it has a small, old-fashioned, laid-back community feel allowing multiple families to simultaneously rent separate cabins but be able to enjoy stays together, congregating for potluck dinners on the generous deck.
