Had a great stay here. Beautiful place with lake access a short drive from the private neighborhood boat launch. I was a little disappointed that the boat lift and covered slip wasn’t available for use but other than that everything was incredible. Would definitely stay again. Five stars!
It is located with a good view of a small cove, in a very quiet, peaceful location that is great for relaxing outdoors. The house was clean, comfortable and as described in the listing. Access to a private boat ramp and dock was a very nice added bonus. I would recommend to friends and family.
The dock and fire pit were our favorite part of the rental. The house and deck could use some updates but everything worked and no issues with communication, check in process, or check out.
As the name of the house states, Paradise has been found! The home is situated at the end of a cove allowing for private fishing and water activities! Paradise Found is stocked with everything you will need for a relaxing vacation.
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.
We had the best time exploring SML. The property was perfect with lots to do. The best part was waking up to a beautiful view on the deck with a nice cup of coffee.
It was our first time at SML. It is a beautiful area and the house was perfect. Kitchen was well stocked and beds were comfy. We will definitely be back to the lake.
The property was clean, location beautiful, deer and wildlife a plenty! Good bit of activities in the area, especially if you enjoy the water. Host is very responsive to messages in case you need anything or have any questions.
This was the first time to SML for us and I know we will be back. We loved this house and the quiet cove. The dock was perfect for our boat, fishing and lounging. Would definitely recommended!
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!
The entire experience from the check in to check out was great. The owners replied to all my questions with quick responses. The home was beautiful. We are already planning on returning next year.
We had a fantastic time on this quiet cove on the lake. Very relaxing. Made use of the owner provided kayaks and paddle boards each day. Spent hours just floating in the water.

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.

Thank you for choosing Paradise Found for your vacation.We hope that you have fell in love with Smith Mountain Lake and it call's you back in the future. Glad you had a wonderful family reunion.
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.
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.

About the host
Hosted by JACQUELYN FORRESTAL
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.
