Welcome to the Petite Lake Retreat! Our cozy, one-bedroom, one-bathroom, lakefront condo is located in the beautiful resort community of Bernard's Landing on Smith Mountain Lake. Steps away from the main marina and the popular restaurant, Napoli on the Lake, you can relax at the nearby beach, swim in one of the onsite pools, or tour around Smith Mountain Lake by watercraft. Come to The Petite Lake Retreat and make memories that will last a lifetime!
The space - The Petite Lake Retreat is a recently renovated, beautifully furnished, one-bedroom, one-bathroom, lakefront condo on one of Smith Mountain Lakes' premier resorts. Our space is ideal for individuals on personal or business travel, couples, as well as small families with young children (Please note that Franklin County restricts one-bedroom and one-bathroom short-term rentals to occupancy of two adults and two small children under three).
Great care and consideration were taken in tastefully designing the space to create a cozy, relaxing, and comfortable oasis. The condo boasts a gorgeous lakefront view near the marina, a bright and airy living space, a new sofa bed, a fully equipped kitchen, an electric grill, cable television, and a smart TV where you can log into your personal streaming service accounts.

The condo was exceptionally clean and well stocked. We have stayed a number of places in Bernards and The Petite Retreat does not disappoint. Location (and the view for morning coffee) is perfect. We would absolutely stay here again!
Great location. Overlooks the marina off the back patio and the beach at the front of building. Check in was very convenient and the host was extremely accommodating. Would definitely stay again if have the opportunity.
Wonderful little space—clean, pretty (but nonfussy) decorations, and tons of extra details supplied by the owners. Vanessa was quick to respond to messages, helpful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place for our getaway!
Perfect place to stay on Smith Mountail Lake. Walking distance to any lake activity you would want plus one of the best restaurants around. Very clean with terrific communication with owner. Only note is even though occupancy says for 4, it is really 2 adults, 2 children. We Intended for 4 adults to stay and had to make other accommodations for 2nd couple. Will definitely rebook if we have another house overflow issue.
We had a great time…aside from some bad weather, so it was great to have the amenities of the gym and such when we were waiting for the sun to come out. You guys thought of all the little details!
My wife and I stayed at the Petite Lake Retreat for a friends wedding and after a long car ride down we were happy to be welcomed with a quiet, clean, and relaxing atmosphere. Elton and Vanessa made sure to leave us with recommendations of the area, access to tea and coffee, and even some welcoming chocolate bars! They are truly experts in hospitality and this would be a great place for a couple or family with a small child to have a relaxing getaway.
This condo is beautiful! The decor is stunning, and the owners have thought of literally EVERYTHING! They keep you well informed and updated, as well. It’s well stocked with all kinds of little extras, and the view from the patio is breathtaking!
We will definitely stay here again!
This condo was decorated so nice and was very clean upon our arrival. The host was excellent and response was timely. It was the little touches for me she had samples of makeup remover wipes and things that you might forget. The view was stunning.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Petite Lake Retreat!
We've stayed in many vacation rentals across the US and Europe, and this was one of the most thoughtfully appointed spots we've been to; like they thought of everything you might need!
Communication was excellent, and things were thoroughly labeled, so we felt well-oriented.
The decor's seamless color palette echos the blue of the lake, and many thoughtful touches add to the retreat-like feel.
Highly recommend!
From both of us:
So impressed with the way your cute condo was laid out. Very comfortable and welcoming!!!
Loved the soothing colors, decor and just everything about it! ,… Of course the view was marvelous as well.
Could tell that you put a lot of thought into travelers and what makes them feel welcome ,.. You hit the nail on the head for sure.
The extras at the coffee bar ,etc. were truly appreciated and impressive! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back!

We had a truly wonderful stay at the condo on Smith Mountain Lake. From the moment we arrived, everything was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The condo itself was well-stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing visit, from kitchen essentials to cozy touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The views of the lake were absolutely stunning, and waking up each morning to the peaceful water and fresh air was such a treat.
The location was perfect for both relaxation and activities. We enjoyed having access to the kayaks and being able to spend time out on the water, as well as exploring nearby trails and local spots around the lake. In the evenings, it was so nice to sit out on the balcony, unwind, and take in the sunset.
Our host was wonderful—very communicative, helpful, and kind. They made sure we had all the information we needed ahead of time and checked in to make sure our stay was going smoothly. That level of thoughtfulness really made our trip even better.
Overall, this was one of the most enjoyable and refreshing getaways we’ve had in a while. The combination of a beautiful condo, a peaceful lake setting, and a thoughtful host made it a five-star experience. We would absolutely love to return and highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a relaxing, memorable escape at Smith Mountain Lake

Nice place. Big pool and cozy private beach. Only drawback is the pool area swarming with loud kids from 10am to well past 5pm. There's some sort of day camp during the summer so be aware. You'll be relaxing in the middle of splashy relay races and the such for most of your time at the pool. Otherwise the place is nice. The unit itself had a patio right on a small inlet. The bed is comfy and the living area is well layed out. TV works great and the kitchen is well appointed. The property also features a sauna, steam room, indoor pool, hot tub, tennis and pickle ball courts and some kyaks to fill in the time the pool is being commandeer. Dining options are everywhere. Parking is fine. In summary I would stay here again. Just not while school is out.
The Petite Retreat was just as advertised, and just prefect for my husband and me. Clean, attractive, well-appointed and full of thoughtful little details. beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the lake, and fun kayaking.
Everything was perfect! The weather was great. We swam multiple times each day, and the pools were never crowded. I love the location of this property. Lovely views!
