Private Coveside Paradise! WiFi, Hot Tub, FLAT Lot, Gameroom, Kayaks, Beach

Journeys End brings you into your own private cove side paradise. Privacy surrounds you on every side of this magnificent Tudor waterfront property. Our home offers the perfect place for the luxury lake experience. You won't be looking at other homes but instead over two acres of pristine woods and an expansive 300 foot waterfront area with a huge gentle sloping lawn and gorgeous views of the lake from both the deck and dock area. You will feel like you have your own private park. The swimming area is ideal because it is protected from boat traffic and you can float to your hearts desire without floating away. Our water front has a great floating dock and stationary dock with all Trex, and a sandy beach area. When you are ready to put your feet up you can sit in the huge hot tub, or choose one of 3 decks or the lakeside dock area. Enjoy exploring the lake as you cruise the shoreline in our four complimentary kayaks or two paddle boards. At night enjoy our complimentary firewood and the lakeside fire pit area to roast your marshmallows. Every detail has been taken care of, and the quality of the home, appliances, and furnishings are unmatched. The expansive kitchen is fully equipped and your family can enjoy meals together around the large oak table with seating for ten. Granite countertops and high end large and small appliances are available for you to use. Watch movies together in the expansive great room with cathedral ceilings which can seat ten plus people. Children will enjoy the state of the art game room which can be found downstairs next to the children's bedroom. They will enjoy the ultimate gaming experience as they sit in surround sound gaming chairs to play Playstation 3, bring their own gaming system or watch DVD's. Battle it out as you enjoy playing a family tournament on the air hockey or foosball table. You will find high speed internet and Wi-Fi throughout the home. This home offers over 3,500 sq. feet of living space with 5 large bedrooms including a huge master suite and attached bedroom. There are 3 bathrooms, one on every floor and a half bath off the deck. Located right off the main channel of Craddock's Creek you are in a protected cove, but only a cove away from the most beautiful part of Smith Mountain Lake. The location is ideal and only a short drive to all the restaurants, boutiques, and grocery stores. There is plenty of parking for as many vehicles as you wish and plenty of room for your boat trailer. So be the first to let your journeys end be here in our cove side paradise.

Wonderful stay on the lake!
We went for a quiet girls trip and could not have found a better place to stay! The property was clean and comfortable and had everything we need and more. The views of the lake were stunning and we were even able to get out on the property’s kayaks and paddle boards in November. The kitchen was a great size and well stocked. All of us hope to return in the future!

Great vacation house!
We had a great time staying here. The house was clean, the property was well maintained and there was plenty of room for everyone. Plenty of parking as well. The dock was awesome and had plenty of space and furniture for everyone to sit and hang out. We will definitely be going back!

Quiet Cove!
Wonderful week with family - very quiet cove with clear water for swimming. Kitchen had everything we needed and second fridge in the garage came in handy. Loved being able to have all of us fit at the dining table for dinner! Enjoyed hanging out on the dock and making 'smores by the fire pit.

Beautiful home on the lake!
We rented Journey's End for a family reunion and had a wonderful time. We are all siblings and our spouses - all of us are seniors - and this place was perfect for our stay. We enjoyed using the kayaks, the paddle boards, the dock & the fire pit. There are plenty of comfortable bedrooms for the 7 of us and multiple places for dining on the deck & kitchen. The kitchen is well supplied with dishes, cooking equipment, and anything you may need. Thank you to our hosts for a very special stay!

Beautiful property with all you need for great vacation
We rented the property for the Memorial weekend for three families with kids. The house sits on a nice sloping lawn with beautiful water view. Location on the water is quiet, no boats or jetskis were around, the property provides all you may need on the water - paddle boards, kayaks, some water toys, noodles, floaties, kids thoroughly enjoyed the lake. The dock has very nice sitting furniture. The house was clean, kitchen stocked with all kind of utensils, spices, food processors, bedrooms are spacious with good quality matresses. One note - one bedroom with two twins is off the master bedroom, i.e. it's bedroom inside master bedroom, would work for a close family, but not necessarily for friends. Worked for us great, but thought to make a note of this configuration. Our favorite space was deck with huge dining table and several sitting arrangements with beautiful views over the water and sunset. This is the house where all basic and beyond basic necessities were provided, saves time on shopping. Communication with the owners was very effective and Nancy was very helpful. We loved the house and hope to be back again!

Fall Weekend
Oh it was WONDERFUL! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We wished we had longer. The views were beautiful and we loved the area of the lake in our own private cove it felt. Fire pit right along the water and private little ‘beach’. We enjoyed the dock and sunshine all day Saturday, after morning hot tub! Plenty of space for groups and families. Great kitchen equipped with everything you need!

Life IS better at the lake!
Let me say Nancy is a dream to work with. She handled all of my concerns, even the crazy ones, like a pro. Journeys End is everything they say it is and then some. The pictures do not do justice to the beauty of their property. You truly won’t want for anything. The cove is so peaceful & SML is beautiful. We opted to rent a boat for the week, but there’s plenty to enjoy without one. After decades of vacationing at the beach, we were converted. We had such an amazing time and look forward to returning next year.

EXCELLENT STAY
This home is beautiful and had absolutely everything we needed. Everything was clean and looked exactly as it did on the listing. The cove was quiet and beautiful and the neighbors were very pleasant as well. We were only there for the weekend, but I wish we had booked extra days. Communication with the owner/host was wonderful. As an added plus, there was also great reception there and the wifi worked well! (**we had teenage kids...you know how that goes). The lot was beautiful, with a small downward slope. Very manageable. Had it been warmer, we would have been able to enjoy ALLLLLL of the kayaks and paddleboards. I can't say enough good things about this rental. If the opportunity arises again, we will be back!!!

Great weekend getaway!
The house was a great spot for a yearly group trip and very cozy and private. The house had everything we needed and really appreciate the linen service and cleaning being all rolled into the stay. We picked this house because of all the amenities and convenience! Only thing I would change is yard was very very damp and slippery and lack of door locks. The space was perfect we’d def stay there again and that huge family room and tv and giant table in kitchen was outstanding! If you could make one of the twin rooms a queen I think more couples could enjoy their stay just a tad bit more! But this was a fabulous trip! Thank you Nancy for being so attentive throughout the process!

Relaxing lake retreat
Our entire family (three generations) loved Journey's End! The house and property were exactly as pictured. We especially loved the location - private cove with easy access to a beautiful part of the lake. The kids (and grown ups) loved jumping off the dock and relaxing on the great mats provided. We rented a boat for the week and took the kids on a pirate adventure one day! The house was wonderful! We especially loved the outdoor space. The weather was quite hot and humid all week. We would have loved to have spent more time relaxing and eating on the beautiful deck. The house was very well equipped and we especially loved that sheets and towels were provided. We also loved the welcome gift of s'mores ingredients. We enjoyed making them in the firepit area. Would love to come back to Journey's End again. Thank you for providing such a welcoming home!
