very nice weekend getaway. Enjoyed the views and the quiet surroundings. Would suggest some type of lighting over the unit number. It was dark when we arrived and it was very hard to find which unit. We went to 3 units flashing on cell phone flashlight on the numbers before finding ours.

Tranquil

The area is beautiful this time of year, especially being right on the lake. The place was cozy and comfortable. The only thing we were disappointed with was the fact that the internet was the one provided by the homeowners association which was not very reliable most evenings.

Nice place, with a waterview for a short stay.

Just looking for a place for a short getaway. We were very interested in Smith Mountain Lake. We wanted a water view and this property had that. Condo was compact but had every we needed. Place was very clean which was my first requirement. Condo was a bit away from the center of town, but honestly it didn’t matter much as there was a mini mart and a very good restaurant at the nearest crossroad. Overall, this was a good choice for us. Owner was very helpful and honest with my questions. I would recommend this location

WONDERFUL WEEKEND

My partner and I rent for winter ❄️ It was wonderful, the place is very comfortable and very clean, it is only for two people since it is small, but it is perfect for partners, we loved the view and how quiet the place is, there are restaurants very close to there with good food. The owner of the house is very kind and organized, thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us, we will be back. 🧡

Affordable and Enjoyable!!!!!

We only live 30 mins away but booked this condo because we organize a 3 day event at the lake every July. The condo had everything we could need for a short stay. The condo was clean as was the property. The pool was enjoyable and clean. This unit is on the ground floor which was good as there are no elevators in the building. The bed was comfortable and towels/linens were provided! Will definitely book this unit again in the future!

Weekend Getaway

This was our first time staying on a ground level condo and it was extremely nice being able to talk to neighbors as they pass by and being able to walk over to other patios in the evenings. The patio up at the grills is absolutely amazing! The shelter wasn't there on out last visit. We met several new people while there and had a great time! We enjoyed our weekend..slept great..and you are close to everything you need in a quick trip! Our hostess.."Polly" was extremely nice and you will be glad you rent from her! We are looking forward to another weekend getaway here at this condo! Best wishes to all! Michelle & Chad

About the host

Hosted by Polly W. Taylor

Host profile image
I am living my dream. A local girl, a late bloomer of sorts. Always enjoy an adventure. My passion is entertaining for others and making moments in life a little less stressful and lot more memorable. While raising my family In my 20's I started taking college classes. determined to achieve my goal of earning a bachelor degree'. At age 50 I had earned dual degrees. One in Marketing and one in Management. This checked off another dream that I was determined to achieve.. Retired now and not telling my age :). I was employed as a Property Manager for over 600 apartments (giving me a little edge ensuring tenant satisfaction) and was a Cable TV Customer Service Manager for spanning an area of two states, Finished up my employed years as Human Resource Benefit Manager for a company with over 100 employees. I love my retirement and the fact that it affords me the opportunity to do what I enjoy. After a year of owning my condo and seeing other families doing the same while renting their units out occasionally, I decided to jump on board and I love it. I have met so many wonderful people, it keeps me busy and there is no denying....gives me a little extra income. I invite you to choose my condo. Please let me know if your visit is to celebrate a special occasion then I will leave a little something special to acknowledge the occasion if you would like.

Why they chose this property

I live a little over an hour from Smith Mountain Lake and owned a boat while raising my family and loved visiting the Lake. I always wanted to own lake property but never thought I could afford it. I am retired now and do not need nor want a large vacation home but enjoy the lake and it's amenities. I chose to buy this condo because of the size and the location. It is perfect size and affordable for a couple retreat or a short/extended business trip visit to the lake The reviews that I receive from my guests of every age group state the same reason for their high rating reviews. They love the cozy feeling, the cleanliness, the quick access to everything and the affordability of having it all. Also, included in the rate for my guess is free boat parking and a dock access to the lake. In short, I choose this neighborhood because it offers it all for an affordable. price. You are welcome to visit. Let me know if there is a special occasion and I will help with something special for the celebration. Happy Travels! Polly

What makes this property unique

My ground level waterfront condo is equipped so that you only need pack your clothes and bring beach towels if visiting during pool season. What makes my property location unique is its rural setting area but it is located close enough to enjoy the restaurants, entertainment, and abundance of history locally. You will also have the opportunity to view the most gorgeous breath taking sunsets while sitting on the patio or from inside the LR/Dining area. My little condo offers you a wonderful atmosphere of rest and relaxation yet close enough to enjoy a night of various restaurants, music/entertainment or a drive with Virginia's scenic environment/landmarks comparable to the best. I have created an atmosphere inside the condo that is not crowded yet has the amenities that creates an enjoyable retreat. It is proof that wonderful things can come in small packages. You're invited to visit and see for yourself. Happy Travels! Polly
