2.5 wooded acres on quiet deep water cove - create great vacation memories.

Still Waters Getaway is located in the Beachwood West community and is perfectly situated on a 2.5 acre wooded setting in a quiet, deep water cove of Smith Mountain Lake between channel marker R31 and R32. The perfect place to enjoy all the water sport activities on the lake, or a quiet swim right down the hill at the dock. A gently sloped walk leads to the water's edge featuring stationary dock with party deck and bar area. You can enjoy the sun, fish, or jump off the top part of the dock and swim around without being bothered by boat traffic, noise, or wakes. A canoe, and 3 kayaks are also available for you to enjoy. Great game room with pool table and video arcade are available to round out the day, this home equipped for a fun filled family vacation. We are close to Bridgewater Plaza where there are numerous stores, restaurants, and night time entertainment. There are several places close by to rent boats, personal watercraft, and tubes. Come create your great vacation memories. Don’t forget you can bring the dog!

There are 3 bedrooms, sleep sofa, a 4th sleeping area in the basement, and 3 Baths. All linens - sheets, pillows and pillow cases, and bath towel sets are included.

The entry level features the kitchen and living room/dining room area with a flat screen TV. Doors leading to a deck overlooking the lake where you can enjoy a meal on the deck, maybe something special from the grill, or just sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Also on the entry level, a bedroom(with a Roku tv) with a king size bed, and a full bath await you.

Up one flight of stairs brings you to the loft which overlooks the entry level living area. On this level you will find the 2 additional bedrooms(with Roku tvs) with queen size beds, one with access to its own private balcony with fantastic views. Also on this floor will be the second full bathroom.

On the lower level you'll find the 4th sleeping area, this includes 2 twin day beds, each with a twin trundle bed that can be rolled out and positioned where needed, for a total of 4 twins. The third full bathroom can also be found on this level. The remaining lower level areas are all fun and games and features a pool table, full sized 2 player arcade game(3000+ games), flat screen TV, and wet bar area. There is a wet bar features a full size fridge w/ ice maker, microwave, coffee maker and additional seating. You will also find a full-sized washer and dryer for your convenience. A sleep sofa can also be found in the game room. Exit the game room to the lower level covered deck and terrace to enjoy additional lake view or have a swing.

The gently sloped path leads to the water's edge featuring stationary dock, upper party deck, and lower bar(w/ fridge) area with porch swing and hammock. We also have floating dock at the water lever to allow easy access to the water for the canoe and kayaks. At the dock - swimming is great, deep water(15-20 feet at the end of our dock) in a secluded cove - no wake zone! You can enjoy the sun, fish, or jump off the top part of the dock and swim around without being bothered by boat traffic, noise, or wakes. A canoe and 3 kayaks(2 single and 1 double) are also available for you to enjoy. We are close to Bridgewater Plaza where there are numerous stores, restaurants, and nighttime entertainment. There are several places close by to rent boats, personal watercraft, and tubes.

To the right of our main dock complex you'll see an additional swim platform and 3-slip dock area, this is shared with a couple neighbors and is something you have access to as well. Our slip is closest to the shore line with the jet ski lift. While there is plenty of room to tie up your boat to our main dock(the boat lift is not available for guest usage), you have access to this slip if needed - we just ask that you don't tie up anything to the floating swim platform, you are welcome to tie up to the floating dock attached to our main dock.

Upon your arrival you'll find starter items...toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags, laundry detergent, dish detergent, hand soap, and kitchen towels to get you started for your week.

Bath towel sets are included for 10 persons - please do not use down at that lake. Bed linens are provided as well.

WIFI included.

Just also wanted to add a note about our driveway. If you read some of the reviews, the one negative comment we get is about the driveway. We are in the mountains, the word "mountain" is in the name, so yes, our driveway may be steep, but our home is closer to the water. We have a mini-van and have no problems with the driveway. Again, on the plus side, since our home is closer to the water, the walk from the house to the dock is shorter and less steep. Our neighbors on the other hand...their home is at the top of the hill, easy driveway, but have a long, steep walk to the water. If you were to compare our home to others in the area, I think being closer to the water with less steps far out weighs any negatives related to driveway. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please reach out, I'm more than happy to discuss.

Not a good experience
Upon arriving. The power was off. We waited hours. The commodes stopped working. Water also came in the basement due to the storm. At that point in the evening we had to leave. House was uninhabitable. Have 12 videos. Homeowner will not give refund According to vrbo. When I spoke with a representative Saturday morning

Great family fun
We have stayed here several times on spring break to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. Is the perfect dock for hanging out with friends and family, and the teens love the pool table and their own space downstairs, the adults love the big table upstairs to play cards. Owners have updated the main bathroom and the basement since we stayed there last, which is really nice.

Overall a good experience...
One star less as there are lot of scopes for improvement... 1. One of the major reasons why we booked due to the arcade game since we have kids in the family. However it ended up working. Host did tried to triage as much as they can but no luck. 2. The main floor TV need to be a smart TV. I am not sure what percentage of the population only rely on cable in current generation. We weren't able to use that at all and again kids were annoying. 3. We understand it's a fall season but we were expecting the outdoor to be cleaned to some extent. The patios were not really in usable condition. The stair down to lake didn't had any lights and too dark to climb during night. 4. Host did mentioned in the listing that we need to dispose our trash but the annoying part was it's around 9 miles from the property. Overall a good experience and enjoyed to the extent we can. No real complaints and host is really cooperative and tried his best to resolve every problem.

Awesome place except for flatliners
The place was perfect once you past the steep driveway. It was a little difficult for us in a Ford Transit-350. The kids enjoyed the playroom. It was very.l nice home for us and the 6 kids to be together and also apart if they wanted space. Would recommend this place.

Perfect spring break
Just what we needed to get away and enjoy the peaceful lake vibe. The weather was perfect, cool on the morning and warmed up by lunch. The double decker dock was amazing. Lots of steps to the dock but not an issue for our young family. The driveway was difficult but after reading other reviews I was prepared. Honda Pilot was able to maneuver without difficulty. Lots of games to play and great TV to watch movies at night. Fully functional kitchen to cook all meals. We would most definitely make a return visit.

Nice place on lake
Nice place to stay on the lake. Fit our needs perfectly. Party deck was great place to hang out and chat! Lots of outdoor area to relax from the swings to the fire pit to the party deck. A leaf blower would have been a good amenity as we visited in the fall and the driveway and patio area were covered with leaves. Other than that, great place to stay in the lake!

Quiet cove
Very peaceful and relaxing. Plenty of wildlife to watch. Definitely a place to rent for extended periods. I do suggest compact vehicles with 4WD. Turn in driveway was a little tight for my full cab Toyota. Bedrooms and bathrooms are updated. Kitchen is nice. It's the outdoor space that steals the show.

Loved this home
A perfect house for a warm fall weekend. The views were colorful. We especially enjoyed the spacious deck, table and grill. The boat dock and deck provided a hammock and kayaks and water toys. We rented a boat and we’re able to pull in and out with ease. The kitchen was well equipped utensil and plate wise with basic bowls and cooking pans. 3 couples and a solo single had plenty of space. This is a beautiful home and the owner has made it guest ready!! We certainly plan to come back again!!!

Great Cabin in the Woods
This is the second time we've stayed at this property and loved it just as much as the first. It is very private and on a quiet cove. The only "complaint" is the driveway is very steep near the house, which the listing does mention, so be careful is your vehicle is low to the ground. The house is comfortable and the layout is great whether you are going with family or friends. In the future, we wouldn't hesitate to look here first for availability.

Family reunion
It was everything we needed and was looking for in a vacation home. We loved everyday of it regardless of the rain. The downstairs was a vacation saver for my grandsons, it rained everyday, but they were entertained and had the best time playing pool, the arcade games and having their very own kitchenette. It was the best!! We are definitely coming back again next year to make more memories....Thank you so much.

We will stay again at Smith Mountai. But next time we will stay closer to the water. Way too many steps down to the water and the driveway was redictuliosly steep. However, the house slept all of us perfectly.

Can't wait until our next stay!
Just looking for a place close to caverns, but it was so much more. Every moring drinking coffee on the amazing dock over the lake. Anticipating deer every afternoon and evening. Fire in the firepit every night. Then ending the nights playing pool and playing games. Definitely accomodating for a wide range of ages. Owner was very nice and quick to answer all questions. Property was very well equipped. Could not have been an easier check in as well as check out. Planning our next visit for warmer weather to take full advantage of the lake. Definitely would recommend for a family, girls or guys trip!

Fun Spring Break
Our second time staying here on spring break. Plenty of room inside for family. Lots of fun out at the dock. Caught some fish. Renovated dock looks nice. We were sad to see the paddle boat was not here and one kayak not able to use. But enjoyed the other two kayaks and canoe. Host answered us promptly when we messaged. We had a great time. Appreciated early check-in and late check-out.

Perfect house for our family!
This house was so comfortable and cozy. We really enjoyed ourselves over Easter weekend. The kitchen was well-stocked with plenty of counter space, there were very comfortable reclining couches to relax and read on and the pool table was lots of fun. The kayak and canoe were in great shape and the dock and quiet cove were wonderful. We saw two fishermen catch a very large bass right next to the dock. The house has everything we needed. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Great location, private lot, comfortable!
Nice house overall! We loved the three refrigerators. The tiki bar on the dock was so much fun and convenient. Everyone liked the swing on the dock. However it was a little disappointing that we couldn’t jump off the top deck. This was sort of misleading from the photos. Also enjoyed the pool table! House could use some updating in general. Great location. Wonderful week!

Week at the lake
The lake house was beautiful! It is nestled in the woods and has very detailed photos of the dock as well as the lake inside. I found it charming. The driveway is a bit steep but makes the access to the lake so much easier. We were there with our grown son, daughter and her husband and our two young granddaughters! We did a lot of swimming in the cove and kayaking! Our son-in-law had a lot of fun jumping from the top deck into the lake. We had a great time with jet skis we rented from Bridgewater Marina and a pontoon boat from Pirate Cove. The host was wonderful to work with and replied very quickly to any questions before and during our trip. We would definitely stay again!

Fun House on the Lake
We had a great time at this house on Smith Mountain Lake. The house is very well set up for friends and family to spread out and enjoy themselves in a number of ways. The views, decks, chairs, and even boats offer lots of options for reveling in the location. The downstairs rec room is bonus and perfect for a teen hideout. The kitchen is well provisioned and the great room/dining room is comfortable. The only thing is having to take the trash 20 minutes away to the convenience center; not an unprecedented or unreasonable request, but not convenient, especially if you don't have room in your car for the garbage. Also odd that there are no outside cans to store your trash until you're ready to make that dump run. Other than that one thing, though, this is a great place to stay.

Fun in the sun at SML
Plenty of room and nice lower dock. Upper dock is getting in bad condition. The driveway is steep and inconvenient if there is more than 2 vehicles. The air conditioner intake and bathroom vents need cleaning. The steps to the lake are nice and not as many as other properties . Kitchen is spacious enough for cooking. I did a lot of cooking. I wished there had measuring utensils and pans that were in better condition. A couple of the doors, upstairs bedroom and downstairs bathroom have hinge problems. We had a nice stay , the house just needs some upgrades. Our dryer was broken when we got there, but it was fixed by Wednesday.

Gorgeous Waterfront Setting!
We had a great time at this cabin. The owner was kind enough to allow us to bring our dogs which we were very thankful for as we never leave them. What a gorgeous, tranquil location! My boys love to fish so this property was perfect. They fished non-stop. The sun deck is amazing! We kayaked, fished, cooked tons of gourmet food as my sons a chef, grilled out, played games and hated to leave. The cabin was nice, plenty of room for all 7 of us and our dogs. The listing wasn't accurate though. There is 1 useable adult kayak, a canoe and a child size kayak. My son brought his two, so we made it work. I don't recommend this place for the elderly or anyone who has issues with walking up and down steep hills, with bad knees or anyone afraid of steep driveways. It worked for us. If there was a fenced area for the dogs it would have been perfect. Needs a deep clean of carpets though and the mattress on the sleeper replaced. Well stocked, otherwise, a great stay! Would stay again.
