About this property
A Second Wind! With Sliding board/diving board!!
Immediately after purchasing this home in early 2016 we initiated a large renovation including painting the entire home, new lighting, new appliances, increased square footage, new floors throughout the entire house, new decks, tree removal and landscaping.
If you are looking for an elite rental property on the most amazing lake anywhere on the east coast then you have found it!
Large 6000sq ft. home on a pancake flat lot merely steps from the water!, Over 330' of pristine waterfront on the crystal clear coveted waters of Craddock's Creek. No old lake house, no outdated home, no steep climb to the water, no eyesore views, no small docks, no muddy water, no lack of amenities--this property is the complete package!
House: 6000sq ft of freshly renovated home; 7 bedrooms 5 full baths, full kitchen upstairs and partial downstairs, multiple family rooms with large new HD TV's, fully stocked kitchen, and only a few feet away from your own massive dock with diving board and sliding board!
Waterfront: over 330' of waterfront on the crystal clear coveted waters of the conveniently located Craddock's Creek.
Docks: MASSIVE dock with unparalleled deck space! Multiple floating docks with a sliding board as well as a diving board. Most importantly, the dock is LITERALLY only a few steps from the home providing the best lake access anywhere!

About the host
Hosted by Ashley Wind
Our family called SML home back in 2012. We acquired our first property in 2014, followed soon with our second, and love the lake so much we have now invested in a third property for our very large, extended family. We live very close to the lake and between all of our properties, spend the majority of the summer there. We have thoroughly enjoyed meeting nice people like ourselves through renting our homes and derive substantial pleasure from opening our homes to others so all can enjoy the most amazing lake anywhere!
Why they chose this property
While there are many homes on SML, it is difficult to find properties that are a "total package." We have literally reviewed the real estate at Smith Mountain Lake every day for 7 years. We only buy the rare properties that have the key assets--large high quality home, clear deep water, nice docks, pleasant views, and often the hardest thing to find, a flat lot with a gentle walk to the water.
What makes this property unique
Extremely large home that is top notch construction and now, fully and thoroughly renovated. The access to the lake is the best we have ever seen at SML. A few steps on flat ground get you from the front porch to the dock. The dock is also a massive asset as few homes on the lake can claim the amount of square footage and size that we can with this property. The games and amenities we provide are unrivaled by any other property. Pack light--we have it all covered!
