Great house! Owners have the house very well equipped and comfortable. The house was very clean, including the kitchen and baths. We loved the lake access in the cove, and made good use of the kayaks, paddle boards and available floats. Awesome location for a great week at the lake.

Wonderful lake vacation

Our vacation was great. The house was well kept and clean. The neighborhood was nice to take walks in. The only mix up is the email from Vrbo said different check in/check out times and bed sizes but the owners were great at clarifying to be sure we were on the same page. Overall great vacation!

Family reunion visit

Jacquelyn was helpful and patient with our booking due to computer problems on our end. We had the house full of kin folks and it was just what the doctor ordered for the stay. She worked with us throughout the process and made the stay enjoyable. The area was quiet and peaceful which made the stay relaxing.

Peaceful hideaway

Really enjoyed the place. Had plenty of room. Wildlife all over the property. Nice dock and location on the lake. Private boat ramp was a big plus for me. Overall me and my wife loved the place. Only dislike was the 9:00am checkout. Other than that would recommend to anyone.

July Visit to SML

Jacqueline was an outstanding hostess and her home was attractive and clean with all the amenities to make our visit a pleasant one. Her communication was excellent and we were given answers to all questions prior to our arrival which was so very helpful. Everyone enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks even though the 59 steps were a challenge for the older generation. Would recommend this property for families with older children.

Perfect relaxing weekend

The house was great. One lofted bedroom and two main floor bedrooms and a fourth bedroom in the basement/game room. Kitchen had all the basics for cooking (remember to bring butter or olive oil!) and the outdoor fireplace was great for s’mores. The dock had wonderful kayaks and my kids loved paddling around in the inlet. The house is the last on the inlets, so you have the waters edge right in front of you. Great weekend escape from the city.

Exactly as named!

The description of the house and property was 100% accurate. The setting was very relaxing and allowed for you to be surrounded by nature. With being at the end of a cove, the area was peaceful without lots of boat traffic. It was great to utilize the kayaks and paddle boards to maneuver around the cove and adjacent areas. Having the boat launch in the development was a huge plus and allowed for easy loading and unloading. Being our first time on the lake, I found it easy to navigate and explore. Having the covered boat dock with lift was great since we had rain nearly every day there. Lots of time and hassle was avoided by not having to cover the boat! The owners were responsive to questions along the way. My family loved our time at SML and will definitely consider this property again if we return next year!!

Needed rest

The property is very quiet and at the end of a lake finger. Very relaxing, but be aware the stairs to the lake are steep with no railing & lake access isn’t small children or mobility impaired friendly. Also loft has its own bathroom. Only other bathroom is on the main floor. We enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by JACQUELYN FORRESTAL

Host profile image
We live outside Raleigh NC and have been in NC since 2001. We have had the joy of living in CA, PA, GA, IL, OR and FL. We love to travel, spend time with our 3 wonderful children and of course we love to boat and anything to do with life on a lake.

Why they chose this property

We have been vacationing at SML since 2003 and have loved the memories and adventures we have had here. It has been a dream of ours to eventually make SML our final home base and share our love of the area with our children , our future grandchildren and all our family and friends. Our dream became a reality with Paradise Found. Until we are here permanently, we wanted to give the opportunity for others to use Paradise Found to make their own memories and adventures and pass on the love of Smith Mountain Lake.
