No wake cove excludes heavy boat traffic and noisy jet skies and provides a relaxing time and safe opportunities for water activities such as swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding, somewhat rare on the lake. New floating dock provides some further privacy.

Nestled in the valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains of rural southern Virginia, this is the perfect destination whether you are looking for some "downtime" or fun outdoor activities. The one mile tree-lined drive from the entrance starts your relaxing journey. After arriving, relax on the deck and enjoy the splendid views of lake and undeveloped mountains then head for the water.

Great cabin at SML!

This is a beautiful and serene property! Loved the private dock and the gorgeous lake view. The only thing that was less than ideal was the oven - it kept turning off and took a long time to cook our food. Perfect stay otherwise !

Peaceful

Nice, quiet cove with limited boat traffic in a no wake zone which is great for kayaks, paddle board, or when tying up a boat. The cabin is comfortable with exclusive access to a floating dock. There is a parking area to park a truck and trailer, though it’s not directly in front of the house. Overall a comfy cabin in a quiet part of the lake.

Secluded and quiet

Excellent place to get away from it all. Very secluded feeling and quiet. The water and mountain view is gorgeous. Cabin is cute. Beds were comfy. I likes that there is an Italian Restaurant/pub, gas station and white house market within 10 minutes. Grocery store 25 minutes away.

Fantastic lake cabin

This property was exactly what we were looking for. We enjoyed our stay immensely. It fit our family of 4 very nicely. The view from the cabin was beautiful. If you have a boat, there is a dock you can tie up to. I will say the stairs to the dock are very steep and may be challenging for older guests, but they did not bother us. The owner was responsive and easy to work with.

Slight inconvenience but Wonderful

We arrived around 7p and noted the cabin was cold. We unpacked, made up the beds and called the landlord. She realized fairly quickly it wasn’t going to work that night and we were lucky that she had access to the cabin next to us. The inconvenience was having to unmake and remake the beds and had to move everything but at least we were in a warm cabin. The rest of the week was uneventful. Lovely place and very secluded.

Perfect weekend reset

We had the best time at this cabin. The view was to die for. The cabin is on a quiet cove which is perfect for swimming and fishing. The walk down to the water is very well maintained and has steps leading to it. There’s a pier to tie your boat up at if you’re bringing one. Only recommendation if you’re bringing a boat is to bring some bumpers since you can only tie up on one side. Easy drop in at Mitchell’s Marina. The house itself was the perfect size. We enjoyed cooking dinner and chatting with family since the kitchen and family room are in the same space. We also enjoyed eating on the deck since the weather was so nice. I cannot recommend this place enough. The simplest stays are the best stays. The host was also very responsive and informative.
