Beautiful home and fantastic hosts! My family and I had the pleasure of spending a week at this lovely Smith Mountain Lake property this September. The property is impeccably maintained, and it provided more than enough room for us five adults (four twin beds were completely unused!) The house has a pool table and a selection of games to provide indoor fun after a day on the lake, and it also has a clean, well-maintained hot tub we enjoyed for relaxing. We reached out to the owner with a few questions during our stay, and the hosts responded immediately and constructively. We would consider this property for future SML vacations and also recommend it to friends.

This property was just lovely and peaceful. It was perfect for our group of three couples and one pup. We rented a pontoon boat and were able to easily moor it at the dock. We spent lots of time out on beautiful Smith Mountain Lake but we also enjoyed just hanging out on the deck of the house. We ate outside each day and the kitchen was well stocked. The owner, Leslie, was magnificent - so responsive to our questions and super helpful. I have rented many VRBOs but this owner was a one of a kind! Would highly recommend this property.

Great view quiet cove

Amazing property and home. Great floor plan, incredible views and close to everything! We’ve been renting homes on SML for over 15 years and this one didn’t disappoint at all. Would highly recommend to anyone. The dock was amazing as well and had space for us to bring our personal boat and jet skis.

Loved the property. It was nicely decorated and met all our needs. Easy walk to the boat dock. There was even a refrigerator there! We spent most of the day there. It had fans and separate eating area. We used the kayaks and other floats. Great place to bring your family.

We had a wonderful experience. The house was clean, spacious and close to markets and restaurants. Whenever we contacted the property manager they always responded quickly with any questions we had. We would definitely recommend this host and this house. We had an enjoyable experience.

The property is good fit for my family .Check in was difficult . I called previous “owner/agent” because they were still listed on my email. The code was incorrect and a storm was approaching. My daughter got someone on ring camera . They acted like we entered the wrong code but we used code I was given . That could be smoother and correct numbers on email. We really enjoy this property and location and plan to return . Thank you.

We were so happy to host you again this year! We apologize for the glitch with the code upon check-in. Upon investigating, it appears this was a system glitch with VRBO sending codes that were programmed for previous renters. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and we would love to host you again in the future!

Serene Stay is a perfect name for this property as our entire stay was very relaxing.

The property is very nice and well-kept. Our son and grandson accompanied my husband and I as a mini vacation for my grandson who just graduated college. They had a great time fishing in the daytime and playing pool at night. They had plans to play golf at the nearby Mariners Landing Country Club but the weather didn’t cooperate on the day of their tee time. All in all, this was a good family trip.

House is on quiet part of lake and is beautifully decorated and in great condition. Easy access to boat house down a gentle sloped lawn for younger kids. Owner provides kayaks and paddle board together with lots of life jackets. We really enjoyed the week even though we had some rain and cooler temperatures. We recommend house to all families. We have stayed in several houses on the lake and this house is one of the best.

Serene Stay is the perfect name for this place!

Our stay at the Vrbo property in Smith Mountain Lake was nothing short of amazing! The views from the house were beautiful, providing a picturesque backdrop for our family vacation. The spacious layout was perfect for our family, giving everyone enough room to relax and enjoy our time together.One of the highlights was having access to the dock, which allowed us to rent a boat and explore the beautiful lake. It was such a fun way to spend our days, swimming and enjoying the water. The property was impeccably clean, which made us feel right at home. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a memorable stay at Smith Mountain Lake!

We had the best stay here for our anniversary! Everything about this property exceeded our expectations. The house was spotless, well equipped, and truly had everything we could ask for and more. I especially loved relaxing in the hot tub under the full moon, it was the perfect way to unwind. The neighborhood was so peaceful and quiet, which made our stay even more enjoyable.We rented a boat and loved being able to dock it right at the house, it made our lake time so convenient. The yard was perfect for our dogs to run and play in, and they enjoyed it just as much as we did.The thoughtful touches were also so appreciated, from the laundry soap, dish soap, and trash bags to even dog poop bags for our pups. It is rare to find a place that goes above and beyond like this.We could not have asked for a better getaway and will definitely be back!
