This property was the perfect place for my lady and I to stay for a fun little weekend getaway- the house is clean, cozy and modern, with great amenities, the hosts are friendly and quick to respond to any questions we had, and the farm setting is beautiful. It was the only time that I have ever had a morning coffee on the front porch with emus right there to keep us company.

Beautiful weekend getaway

My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Happy Rooster. The home and property were clean and nicely kept & we enjoyed seeing the chickens in the morning. We were looking forward to seeing the horses and sheep but other then that we loved every part of our visit.

Hi LaQuesha, we are so glad you guys enjoyed your stay at The Happy Rooster:) The sheep and horses roam the fields, so sorry if you happened to have missed them. Next time we can give you guys a tour of the whole farm to see even more animals. Looking forward to having you guys again:)

Fun Getaway!

My husband and I stayed for a few days between Christmas and New Years. Although the weather was not ideal, we thoroughly enjoyed our vacation! The rooms were very comfortable and spacious, the kitchen was perfectly equipped for cooking the delicious local produce, and the bathroom was luxurious. Everyone we met was extremely friendly and we loved learning about the farm. We would look forward to staying here again or visiting the other BNB location at Smith Mountain. Thanks to the hosts for allowing us to stay with you!!

AMAZING Stay with Added Bonuses!

Our family came across the Happy Rooster when looking for a place to stay when booking a last minute trip to come to my hometown. Being from Franklin County, I know the area well and can tell you the Happy Rooster is in a very ideal location to get to Rocky Mount, Smith Mountain Lake, or even Ferrum. Attention to detail sets this place a part, Kathryn & Tommy knew we were getting in late and made sure there were lights on in the house for when we arrived. Additionally, the home is well decorated, very very clean, and provides everything you need for your stay. ALRIGHT, the truth....the Happy Rooster comes with added bonuses!! The animals on the farm! We didn't book the Happy Rooster because of this (it was more about the location) BUT we are SO GLAD we did. Our teenage girls got off their phones and went outside to pet the bunnies, the horses, and speak to the Happy Rooster himself. My only wish is that we could have spent more time on the farm. Thank you Happy Rooster for making this family of 4 very HAPPY indeed!

Hi Danielle, Thank you so much for the kind words. It was such a pleasure hosting you and your family. You guys left the house so clean and were so respectful to our home. We hope you guys get to come back when you have more time to visit the animals on the farm. Best wishes, Kathryn & Tommy

About the host

Hosted by Tommy & Kathryn Yerkey

Host profile image
My wife Kathryn and I are from Smith Mountain Lake, we love to travel and find ways to make our short term rentals the best experience a guest can have. We want our guests to feel like they are home, and for them to create beautiful memories. We currently have two short term rentals: The Happy Rooster and Westlake Getaway. Each of them are uniquely different from a lake experience to farm animal experience. Both homes are private where guests can feel safe, and allow their family and friends to have fun and relax. We are only a short distance away and are always available when a guest reaches out.

Why they chose this property

Westlake Getaway -we chose as it is right in the heart of Smith Mountain Lake, has a lake feel with being .5 mile from the lake itself. It is in a very safe neighborhood and has plenty of room for families and friends to enjoy.

The Happy Rooster- we chose as it is on our farm and we wanted others to enjoy the peaceful surrounds of privacy, nature, animals, mountain & field views.

What makes this property unique

Westlake Getaway is unique because of all the activities to do inside the home, the peaceful screened-in porch where everyone loves to gather in and the hot tub. All beds are super comfortable, new furniture, and we make sure the home is very clean.

The Happy Rooster is unique because of the privacy, animals and peace it offers everyone. The furniture is new, beds super comfy and very clean. Our returning guests tell us it is because of the unique experience the Happy Rooster has to offer.
