This lake side property was fantastic! Not only is the location close to many good restaurants and grocery stores, the home itself is on a lot with an easy sidewalk access to an awesome dock! It is obvious these owners have taken great pride in preparing this home for guests. Every convenience was provided from a fully equipped kitchen, very comfortable beautiful furnishings, luxury bedding and an awesome tiki bar! Plenty of outdoor seating to take in the beautiful views and sunsets! We’ll be returning guests for sure!

Another great annual family trip to Dock Daze! We love EVERYTHING about this amazing home from ample space, cozy furnishings, gathering spaces both indoor and out, amenities, fenced yard for our grandpup, and the proximity to grocery stores and Bridge Water Marina for rentals! Heather & Ken are very responsive and excellent, accommodating hosts wanted their guests to enjoy a perfect vacation. We are grateful for all the memories created.

To say that this home was clean and well equipped is an understatement. It goes above and beyond. Everything that one might need for a fantastic and memorable lake vacation was there. Heather was exceptionally responsive and was available to answer questions, provide advice or resolve problems (we had one minor issue that she resolved quickly). The dock and fire pit/grill area deserve special note for how well they supported relaxing days and evenings in and around the water. The house is convenient to grocery stores, restaurants, shops, vineyards and other attractions and a reasonable driving distance to the airport.

This property is top notch! The hosts have a lot of those little details accounted for that other properties fall short of having. From the amount of tvs and overhead fans there isn't a place on the property you can't sit/stand and relax in comfort. The dock is incredible for a relaxing morning beverage or afternoon dance party. It's as fun and picturesque as the photos lead you to believe.Just keep one eye on your weather app and be prepared to batton down the hatches when thunderstorms come rolling through!

DockDaze is at a great location on Smith Mountain Lake, very close to anything you might need: grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, and boat rentals. The house is one of the most comfortable homes we have stayed at: nice living room furniture, comfortable beds with soft linens, bath towels, and even beach towels. But the best part is when you go down to the dock, the view of the lake is fantastic, and there are kayaks and paddle boards to use. There is plenty of seating at the dock; my wife loved the rope chair. It is very nice having the Tiki hut with a refrigerator down at the dock.And the Dining area with a fire pit was a great hit as well. We would definitely return to Dock Daze.

We have stayed here a few times and have had a great experience every time! The owners are responsive and close by. This is the best lake area/dock/tiki bar we have been to. There is a nice lighted concrete path to the dock, some lake houses are a longer walk to the lake with many stairs, that is not the case here! There are also stairs into the lake as well as a ladder off of the dock. The hosts provide many amenities including chairs, floats, lawn games and a grill. The kitchen is fully stocked with things you need to cook and dishes, as well as a coffee maker that you can brew a pot of coffee or use pods. Close to Westlake for restaurants and close to the Moneta food lion. Overall a great place to stay, we will definitely be back!

Our family stayed here for a week, and it was absolutely perfect. The home was immaculately clean, thoughtfully equipped (it was evident that the owners had intentionally considered every detail!), and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The dock area was incredible, not only the view (!!) but with plenty of lake toys and amenities that kept everyone entertained. The owner was kind, responsive, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. This property exceeded our expectations and was exactly what we were looking for. We would gladly stay here again!
