About this property

Bernard's Landing Hillside Lake Escape @ SML

Come relax and enjoy the breathtaking lake and mountain views at our 1 bed 1 bath condo on Smith Mountain Lake!

The condo is located at Bernard's Landing, a premier waterfront resort. Come experience lake life on the 70-acre resort that offers lush green spaces, panoramic views of the lake and year-round activities for the entire family. The amenities at Bernard's are endless! They include:
- 2 Outdoor Pools- the main clubhouse pool has a hot tub and children's wade pool &
play area
- Year Round Indoor Pool and Jacuzzi
- Beach which is directly in front of our unit!
- Gym & sauna
- Boat launch & courtesy docks are available

Court, Beach Volleyball Court, Horseshoes and Cornhole
- Walkable restaurant on site: Napoli by the Lake
- Bernard’s Boat Rental on site
- Play All Day Watersports offers kayak and paddleboard rentals

Our ground level condo is newly renovated and ready for you to enjoy! A ground floor unit is a premium that you never knew you wanted in a rental. It's a quick walk right off the back deck to the beach, dock, clubhouse pools, or on-site restaurant.

The large bedroom has a king sized bed with linens (which is rare for rentals in the area!). There is also a desk in the bedroom if you are looking to move your home office to a new location for awhile! Although it may be pretty hard to get work done with the lake views calling your name!

The bathroom has been updated and has a walk-in tiled shower. Towels are also provided (which again is a rare find)!

The kitchen is updated with new stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. It is fully stocked just like yours at home! A microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and blender are a few other appliances offered. New pots and pans, dishware, glassware and barware are all provided. Just off the kitchen is a brand new washer/dryer stack unit.

The new living room sofa has a pull-out queen memory foam mattress. The 48inch TV has cable set up for you to relax at night.

A new 4 burner grill is on the back deck. Sit back and enjoy the views on the new Adirondack chairs!
