About this property

Smith Mountain Lake: Your Perfect Waterfront Escape

Picture yourself swaying gently on the porch swing, watching sunlight dance across the water. This charming 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat is all about those three beautiful R's: RELAX, RELATE, and RELEASE!

The moment you step inside, you'll feel it immediately - that warm, homey, nostalgic embrace that reminds you of weekends at your Grandparent’s house. You know that feeling - where worries melt away and you're suddenly 10 years old again with nothing but summer adventures ahead. The charming touches and cozy corners bring back sweet childhood memories while the open concept design lets gorgeous water views flow through the kitchen, dining, and living spaces.

Outside? Oh my goodness, it's paradise! The property slopes gently down to your very own private dock with lush green lawn and beautiful gardens. And talk about convenience- this home boasts 2 driveways, so there’s plenty of space for your truck and boat trailer!

Who's ready for some splash time? With both a stationary dock and a floating dock, you can challenge the kids to cannonball contests, drop a fishing line, or simply dangle your feet in the cool water just like at Grandpa's place all those summers ago. And boaters - you'll love how easy it is to dock your watercraft!

Prefer the shade? Curl up with that beach read on the covered deck or let the porch swing lull you into the most delicious afternoon nap, wrapped in that same sense of comfort you always felt at Grandma's house.

As evening approaches, fire up the grill on the upper deck and prepare for nature's show - those sunset views over the main channel are absolutely breathtaking!

This isn't just a vacation house - it's a treasure chest of nostalgia with modern amenities, your ticket to perfect family memories that last a lifetime! When can I show you around?

This home was perfect for a relaxing lake getaway! This comfortable and spacious home provided everything we could have needed. The kitchen had everything! Two separate lounge spaces and beautiful outdoor spaces. I really enjoyed sitting on the covered porch watching the boat traffic. The dock area was wonderful for fishing and swimming. Only 15 minutes to groceries, shops and restaurants. Wildlife in our backyard daily! I would definitely stay at this beautiful, clean home again!

Memorial Day weekend getaway

It literally feels like you’re at grandma’s house! Great view and spot on the lake away from the busier areas of the lake. We were pleasantly surprised to find some kayaks, life jackets, and fishing poles to use. We also appreciated the first aid kit readily available in the bathroom! We had one in our car but it was so convenient to have one already at the house. The kitchen was beautifully equipped - even an electric griddle and toddler items! We had a great relaxing stay!
Relaxing!
