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

Perfect Location

We had a large group travel to the Lynchburg area to play disc golf at a bunch of the local courses, including New London Tech, which hosted the World Championships in 2024. The house was centrally located to the courses and close to amenities that we needed after long days of playing, such as restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, etc. The game room kept the group entertained in the evening and there was plenty of space for all 9 to sleep. We did have an issue with loose stones on the right side of the driveway. I could see someone getting stuck if they are not careful.

Relaxing Trip

We had an amazing stay at the house. The house is spacious. The bedrooms and bathrooms were accommodating and comfortable. The kids had a blast in the downstairs with the DVDs, air hockey and pool table. The kitchen was clean and well stocked. The dock was in a tucked away cove allowing for uninterrupted swimming. There was plenty of life jackets and floats in the bin. The lake itself is gigantic! Great for site seeing, tubing and fishing which we did just about the whole trip! Location was great as it's close to stores and restaurants.

Family Thanksgiving

We stayed at the house on Smith Mountain Lake for our family Thanksgiving. There was 10 of us and plenty of space. We had a great time lounging at the house and also taking the very short drive into town. Very convenient location! This home is lovely and we really enjoyed our stay.

Nice house in a quiet cove

This was our 2nd stay in this house. It is located in a very quiet cove with deep water suitable for swimming and fishing. We spent most of the time on the dock which has nice covered area to keep yourself cool in summer heat. The house was very clean, cozy, with plenty of space to spread after a day in the sun and water. Covered screened deck off the kitchen level is very nice to have , protects from elements, rain and moscitoes.

About the host

Hosted by Ken & Shelley Hetzer

Host profile image
Shelley and I have been married over 28 years 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!
