Love Sunsets? Glory in a natural, cozy, rustic setting

This cabin is a Family Treasure. Built as the original vacation cabin on Island Lane, road created by my Dad (retired professor from UVA) fifty years ago. Great Smith Mountain Lake location! Right on the main channel adjacent to lake marker R-8 where the Roanoke and Blackwater Rivers meet.

Recently renovated 1st floor, kitchen & bathroom. Expansive lake view with exquisite sunsets are yours for the taking. Peek at the lake from every window direction, face the lake from the deck (like on a boat, and could step out into the water) and just a few steps below will take you to a private stationary dock, where boats can be parked. A few steps up off the upper deck will lead you to perfect views of 4th of July fireworks from Saunders Parkway Marina. Brand new upgrade featured: Double mini-split ductless heat pump system provides clean, efficient AC, and heat. Please note: Vacation rental guests do bring their own Bed linens and Towels.

Perfect lakeside rustic cabin!
What a wonderful few days on SML! The cabin is quaint and tucked away in a quiet area which was perfect for us to celebrate our anniversary. Laura was wonderful to work with and quick to respond to any questions. Our well behaved lab enjoyed the dock and there was enough space in the second floor/street-side room for us to set up her crate. The view from the back deck was great and we saw many osprey flying nearby. We would definitely stay here again!

LUOA graduation weekend
We absolutely loved your place! I wish I had done research on the area so my boys could have brought our boat! I was more focused on securing a place to stay for the graduation that was reasonably priced. Everything listed on the website was accurate and a perfect getaway for our graduate!

Peaceful tranquility
Laura was a delight during the check in process communication was quick and e. She was incredibly accommodating of our travel time. The house was delightfully rustic, comfortably familiar and oh so peaceful. The views are the absolute best from the top bedroom to the deck to the dock… SPECTACULAR! Private doesn’t explain the tranquility we experienced. We truly enjoyed every moment. It was our first visit to Smith Mountain Lake. We plan on a return trip to Love Sunsets, Thanks again to our host Laura. 🌅❤️

I come to SML every year for a fall retreat, and this was by far the best place I've stayed! Beautiful, quiet, peaceful location - amazing lake views from the cabin. The cabin is cozy and charming. I enjoyed every second! Perfect spot for a rest from city-life!

The Rife family
Our stay was more than expected! Loved the house and the view! We had everything we needed right in one place! Our kids loved the paddle boards and the deck access. The only con we experienced was that the deck need some attention. The boards on the side where we docked our boat are starting to coming off. It would also be nice if it was a covered deck. We didn’t mind it but compared to the other decks on the lake, it could use a little upgrade. We still had a great experience. We will for sure be back! LOVED the location. The trees make the property feel so private. This was our first time staying at Smith Mountain and we couldn’t have had a better vacation. Also, the plates in the cabinet are NOT microwave safe. I noticed some places on them and looked on the back and I’m glad I did. It really was a great rental though. The sunsets were amazing! Thanks for allowing us to spend the week.

Beautiful Location!
The house is in such a wonderful location! We rented a boat and were able to pull in and out with ease. The neighborhood is beautiful, and neighbors are friendly. Even though it's a more "rustic" house it still had everything we need including a washer and dryer, which is a must for us. :)

Awesome trip, Beautiful place to vacation. Looking forward to going back again.
Had a great time. Smooth rental process and experience. Property could use a little upgrading particularly the deck and stairway down to the water. Sulfur smell to the household water was the biggest issue and would be the only thing keeping us from renting here again.. Overall happy about our stay.

Lake retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our time there because of the fantastic westerly views and fairly quiet location on the lake. The canoe was unusable but the kayaks and paddleboard were a blast to use. The dock is decent sized and afforded us easy access to the water. The cabin was furnished with the basics...no frills. This is a RUSTIC cabin in dire need of a deep cleaning and minor repairs. The screens on the windows were damaged and bugs routinely snuck in at night. The air conditioner in the downstairs bedroom had broken knobs and was very loud but we tuckered ourselves out so much during the day that we were able to sleep through it. Word to the wise, bring your own potable water...not a knock on the cabin, just reality of using odd tasting well water. I would stay there again but I'd be better prepared.

Great location to see sunrise coming up over the mountain while walking on road and gorgeous sunsets viewed from back of house. Great size of house for a family of four.
