Cabin 2 at Cedar Key - Serene waterfront setting/No wake cove/Dog friendly!

Imagine mornings watching the cool mist rise off of the reflections of undeveloped forest, the “sound” of silence, beautiful views of sunset on the water, and potluck barbeque dinners on the back deck with friends. At the end of the day, enjoy the night sky the way it was intended, without any light pollution! If you’re looking for a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you’ve found the right place.

A shared dock gives full access to this serene no wake cove for swimming, paddleboarding, and docking your boat, so you can enjoy all the lake has to offer.

Our pet friendly atmosphere allows you to enjoy this setting without having to leave your canine family members behind.

Within a 30 minute drive, Smith Mountain Lake offers access to horseback riding, golf, hiking trails, and wineries. The nearby state park includes a small beach for younger visitors. This is Virginia's most popular lake and is a fisherman's paradise, with over 500 miles of shoreline on this 40-mile long, 20,000 acre lake stocked with bass, muskies, northern pike and panfish.

High-speed internet allows for viewing movies and shows from your own streaming accounts and the occasional remote work if absolutely necessary.

This two-bedroom, one bath cabin has a fully stocked kitchen and a charcoal grill for use on the full length deck.

A common dock is shared with neighbors in Cabin 1.

A dedicated parking spot is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.

Smoke-free property.

Central air conditioning and heat, ceiling fans throughout.

GUESTS SHOULD BRING LINENS (FOR ONE QUEEN AND TWO TWIN BEDS), BATH TOWELS, WASH CLOTHS, DISH TOWELS, ETC. Linens may be provided for an additional $75 fee.

Enjoy your time "Unleashed"!

Fabulous SML Weekend
We had the most relaxing weekend in Cabin 2 at Cedar Key. The accommodations were perfect for me, my husband, and our terrier pup. Sipping wine in the sunshine on the dock, fall hikes, and even a couple of chilly swims were highlights of our stay. The cabin is small, but mighty, equipped with everything we needed for our getaway and then some. Thanks for hosting us!

Nothing short of amazing; everything you need: peace & quiet, serenit & stocked with all you'd need.
This property is located amongst ~8 other cabins and next to a larger Loge (bigger cabin). It has a massive deck, and parking spot is about 20 yards from the front door. The deck overlooks the walking path down to the dock and the lake. During our stay, the other cabin tenants left after one day so there was no one around and it was super quiet and peaceful (which could be too quiet, depending how you like it). Though no one was around, totally felt safe can easily hear cars coming up the gravel road or ppl walking (due to gravel & fall leaves). Caught plenty of fish at the docks. Every drawer and cabinet was stocked with exactly what you'd need. Fresh coffee? check, appliances and dinnerware? check. Fishing peripherals? check. Games and books? Check. Extra blanket? Check. Plenty of seating and awesome Adirondack deck chairs? Check. Every nook and cranny we looked at, there was something useful and nice to have in the cabin. I often say that I miss being home and in my own bed and have my own TV but I sincerely felt sad leaving the cabin and am looking forward to coming back. Of note; be ware there is minimal restaurant options and groceries, etc. so it'd be good to show up with groceries, snacks, etc. so you can settle in and not have to leave to look for food, etc.

A Hidden Gem!
We absolutely loved our stay and hope to return! The cabin was perfect, the only thing I wished was that they still had the love seat to accompany the couch. The scenery was so beautiful, the lake is amazing, and the neighborhood was perfect. Thank you so much for such a wonderful get away!

Perfect cabin on the lake!
My husband and I have stayed in this cabin twice now and we love it! The view of the lake is stunning. It’s located in a wildlife preserve so there is no development to obstruct the views, only beautiful untouched forest. The cabin is well equipped and comfortable. The host is very attentive and accommodating.

Perfect Little Hideaway
The pictures do the property justice. The family and I came up for an open water swim competition. We were looking for a place accessible to the lake to use our boat and get to the competition. The location to Smith Mountain Lake State Park was perfect. 10 minutes by boat and drive. The cabin was clean and organized. The cabin is very basic (A good thing). No clutter or extras that detract from the living accommodations. Back patio is large and a great place to entertain with amazing views of the lake and foliage. The owners must keep notifications on speed dial as they responded instantly to any and all questions we had. This cabin is absolutely saved to my favorites and we will be back.

Wonderful Cabin!
Fantastic, quiet cabin right on a section of the lake that is a no wake zone - no fast boats and quiet w a great view. Was great for my kids to explore and paddleboard. The cabin has everything you need to disconnect and enjoy the lake including all the appliances, coffee maker, grill, large deck, comfortable beds, games and books(and large TV that we didnt use). Highly recommended!

We have been staying at this great little cabin on Smith Mountain Lake for several years now, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The owners are great to work with, respond quickly to any questions, and each year they have made improvements that make the experience even better. If you have a small family and are looking for an excellent getaway on the lake, this is the place!

First time at SML
Our family really enjoyed our stay. We really appreciated all the little touches provided that made it feel like home. Really beautiful view from the fairly good-sized deck overlooking the lake. Only bit of info I would share that would have been good to know ahead of time is it's a fairly steep walk down to lake (wife and I couldn't agree on either 78, 79, or 80 steps). The steps were very wide and well-maintained, but if you plan on taking a lot of stuff to and from the lake, or have problems with a lot of steps, plan accordingly. The owners were extremely responsive to emails and were more than willing to provide great info about the surrounding areas. We had a brief power outage during our stay (thunderstorm-related) and the owners were very helpful in providing info regarding restoration info, etc. We would definitely recommend this property to others who are looking for a very quiet, relaxing spot.

My family had an excellent stay at this cabin. The cabin was very clean and had all the essentials needed for a great vacation. The shared dock provided the ability to rent a boat for several days and be able to access it directly from the cabin. We also thoroughly enjoyed having the cabin as pet friendly and our dog had a great time as well. We will definitely be requesting this cabin again during future visits to Smith Mountain Lake.

Awesome cabin vacation
Great little cabin for the family. Its located on the east end of the lake, so its a lot more quiet. For the firat few days, we were the only people around, and we basically had the lake cove to ourselves. Beautiful setting to eat breakfast on the deck with the view of the water. Great hosts as well. Very responsive and took care of everything. Highly recommend!

Beautiful place to stay, but...
This is most likely due to the wildlife sanctuary the property is located on, but the ticks were insane! You need to be aware of this and check your dogs and yourselves frequently. I hope the neighborhood is able to do something about this issue. I am not someone who ever complains but it warrants a less than perfect review. The only reason I did not give 5 stars for everything. Otherwise, I highly recommend staying here.
