You’ll feel right at home at this cozy Smith Mountain Lake lakefront rental, replete with cottage charm. The owners have put in some special touches to ensure that your vacation is full of fun and joy and not bogged down by any stresses from the outside world.

You will love the laid-back atmosphere of this lakeside retreat. Take a much-needed break from the rat race to get back to what matters - time spent with the people who are important to you. This location feels private and secluded, allowing for long and lazy days with no cares in the world.

Stroll down to the lake with your family, and try out the provided canoe or kayaks - perfect for paddling in the cove. You’ll love the still, quiet tranquility of this gorgeous lake that will soothe the most world-weary traveler.

There is a large party deck available for your use at any time of day, and you can sit above the lake to take in its placid beauty and calm. We guarantee that your family will hold on to these special memories forever, fondly thinking of all the time spent together enjoying nature’s remarkable harmony.

There is a gas barbecue available for you to grill your meals outdoors, with plenty of space to take in the rustic ambience and warmth of being with the ones you love. There’s even a propane firepit for long, quiet nights looking up at the seemingly infinite stars above you.

This home has plenty of areas to gather for conversation and fun, so your family can spread out and find their own spaces to relax throughout your stay. Let the kids have their own area upstairs, where they can play games and hang out while the adults kick back in the living room, perhaps enjoying some cocktails after dinner.

Speaking of dinner, you’ll enjoy cooking meals for the family in a kitchen well-equipped for entertaining. You have many options for relaxation and conversation no matter where you are in this home.

Great view!
First impressions…yard is really messy. Hadn’t been cleaned up in awhile. Tons of leaves, nut shells etc. inside the house, one toilet didn’t work. Beds were comfy. Overall, this was a lovely location. Lots of steps to go down to the water. 85 in all. Appliances were good. Kids had a good time. Thanks for a good visit.

Rat infested
The previous renter left a 1-star rating due to rat feces throughout house and in kitchen. I sent a message through VRBO and talked directly with the management service about my concerns and cancelling the reservation. They assured me that the problems were taken care of and the house was thoroughly cleaned. When I showed up we noticed rat turds in one of the kitchen drawers and more in the utensil drawer on the forks/spoons/knives! We went to get some cleaning supplies from the closet and the floor was covered in rat turds. We looked around the house and found rat tires under the furniture and a big spider nest. The place was obviously not cleaned up as I was assured. We had boat reservations the entire week and couldn’t cancel all off our plans at the last moment because I was assured the house was as clean and the problems taken care of. I have pictures of all the rat feces and a copy of the correspondence with the management company through VRBO. We had to eat out the entire time and my daughter and her husband left early due to the disgust.
