Sunny Days is a great location and close to everything. The house was great. The walk up/down from the dock isn't bad at all. My only feedback is we noticed cameras on the dock, which is the owners right to have, but I feel like it should be disclosed in the listing, in case folks aren't comfortable with the idea of potentially being recorded.

We had a wonderful stay with our kids and grandkids. We all enjoyed swimming off the dock without having to worry about boat traffic. Kitchen was large with plenty of room for cooking meals. Loved sitting on the screened in porch in the mornings, especially the swing! House is in a great location, near grocery store and Bridgewater plaza was fun for everyone. Ken was an amazing host, responded to all questions quickly and was very accommodating. Would highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful house and property. We are returning guests from last year. The dock was great for fishing and swimming and the kids had a ball with the air hockey table. The house is convenient to the marina with the arcade and mini golf. Quite the family hit!

Relaxing vacation

The property is conveniently located near marinas and shops. The house is nicely renovated and well stocked. The outdoor spaces are perfect for relaxing by the lake! They even have a nice fire pit area right next to the water which made a perfect end to our days out and about around the lake. Highly recommend!

Perfect Lake Getaway!

We had an amazing stay at this well equipped house on the lake! The property was peaceful, clean, and had proper spaces for our family. We stayed as 3 families with kids of all ages. The lake location is great for fishing and safe swimming without boat traffic and big water noise. The private COVERED dock was ideal for lounging, fishing, and jumping into the water for a swim.The house was well-equipped and comfortable, with plenty of space to relax indoors and out, covered screened deck kept us dry during short drizzle, it allowed us to stay outside most of the time. Highly recommend this stay for anyone looking to unwind, enjoy nature, and make great memories by the water. This was our 3rd stay here and we hope to come back!

Perfect location and great house

The house was very comfortable and we really enjoyed our stay. The location was very convenient to Bridgewater Plaza and easy water access out into the main lake. Nice to have the boat in a somewhat protected place so it didn’t bang around on the dock. Property manager was great and reached out to us right away after we booked

About the host

Hosted by Ken & Shelley Hetzer

Host profile image
Shelley and I have been married over 31years and have always had a passion for enjoying a good get-away. In 2011, we decided to switch our stays at the ocean and head inland to a lake not too far from us. Needless to say, we fell in love with Lake Life! In 2014, we had some great friends of ours invite us down to Smith Mountain Lake. While it was a bit farther, we couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful the mountainous lake was and the deep waters Smith Mountain Lake had to offer.

Why they chose this property

Sunny Days captured our heart for a few main reasons:

1. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! - Sunny Days is moments away from grocery stores, restaurants, shopping and probably most important, Bridgewater Plaza (Home of the self-proclaimed, "Family Fun Center".

2. Water Depth - Sunny Days off of the dock averages about 12' deep. This gives plenty of depth for those both young and young at heart to not worry about jumping / diving in the water and getting to the bottom.

3. Water Location - Sunny Days is very convenient via water to both north and south areas on the lake. With SML having over 500 miles of shoreline, being centrally located allows for nice morning / sunset cruises without eating up your whole day.

4. Family Space - While there is plenty of room for your whole family to get together, we wanted a property that allowed those times when families want to spread out.

Hopefully when you visit Sunny Days you will see the values we mention above and come to love it like we do each and every visit!
