Paradise at the Lake

This is a wonderful home to stay where you feel right at home. Owners have thought of everything! And the lake….lake front to this beautiful lake where there’s the most beautiful view and direct access to the lake. The entire outdoors areas were perfect for our family and our fun filled vacation! Can’t wait to return to Dockside Daze and SML!!

Has it ALL - look no further!

Stop searching- you’ve found THE perfect spot to vacation! Our first time to SML and Dockside Daze hands down exceeded every want and desire for a fabulous vacation! The family agreed this was our best summer vacation ever out ranking Myrtle abd OBX. The house is just amazing- ample space inside and out, cozy beds, stocked kitchen, great TVs, grills, firepit, close to shops & grocery stores. But that view, the water toys, the tiki bar, the cove…heaven! Cannot thank Heather & Ken enough for their gracious hospitality and entrusting us with their home! We are already planning for 2025!

Dockside Daze

Dockside Daze was amazing! The owners really went all out with the technology. Charging stations everywhere, TVs in each room. Even the porch and dock have a TV. The sound system at the dock was a great touch. We really enjoyed having music down there. The neighbors are super friendly and my kids made a new friend. You can't beat the location to all the Smith Mountain Lake attractions. 10 out of 10!

This was our second stay at Dockside Daze, and once again, it was a fantastic week! The house is beautiful and filled with thoughtful amenities that make it feel like home. The yard is spacious—perfect for lawn games and relaxing outdoors. We especially loved the dock and tiki bar area, which is beautifully set up and offers a perfect spot to take in the stunning sunsets each evening. The location is great too—close to plenty of stores, restaurants, and everything you might need.

This property is top notch. The owners provided everything. This truly was an excellent place to be lazy and enjoy the dock and views. Upon arrival it was evident the owners put a lot of attention to detail the house outside and inside was so clean and decorated beautifully. The dock was perfect for our boat and they offered an array of kayaks paddle boats and other water floats ( we used those every day). Absolutely the best experience … so good we booked same week next year!

About the host

Hosted by Heather Crawford & Ken Slusser

Host profile image
We love to travel and water activities so Smith Mountain Lake instantly appealed to us. We take a great amount of pride in personally managing our home to ensure it is in tip top shape for our guests. As you can see from our reviews we strive to make this the vacation destination guests return to year after year.

Why they chose this property

There are only so many premium located properties at SML. We fell in love with Dockside Daze due to its great central location and amazing dock views. The gradual incline and short distance to the dock, Tiki bar, grilling and firepit area makes for easy entertainment and convenience. It's so close to everything from restaurants, churches, grocery and liquor stores, shopping, pet vets, several wineries, breweries/distilleries, and everything else.

What makes this property unique

Lots of deck and dock space to enjoy beautiful sunsets, well-maintained inside and out, and tiki bar with full fridge, tv, and sound system. 800mbs internet speed and premium sports cable package.
