Experience Smith Mountain Lake in The Cabin on the Cove, a gorgeous dog-friendly log home located on a five-acre wooded lot providing privacy, yet also convenient to restaurants, marinas, and shopping. This spacious and well-appointed home has plenty of room for a large family and offers a true lake atmosphere with wood beams and expansive windows for wonderful lake views.

The main level offers a well-equipped kitchen, a great room, a primary suite with a private balcony, and two guest bedrooms that share a bath. The lower level provides another primary suite, a guest suite, a family room, a game area, and a wet bar. The loft area has extra sleeping space as well.

The huge 2,200-square-foot dock gives you plenty of room to tie up your boats or personal watercraft, fish, sunbathe, or just enjoy the view. Swimming and floating is ideal in this wide water cove.

Also, this home offers plenty of opportunities to keep everyone entertained with seven TVs, shuffleboard, foosball, air hockey, electronic darts, Xbox (bring your own games), and a canoe.

For those who prefer a more laidback vacation, there is a hammock on the deck to enjoy the summer breeze, a covered porch for shade, and a lower patio for grilling (gas grill and flat-top gas grill available).

Great house for family vacation
We truly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The home had great space with plenty of room! One of the best treats was the dock and being able to enjoy the outdoors with plenty of room for the whole family. We loved the location and the lake in general.

Amazing Family Trip
We enjoyed our stay at Cabin on the Cove! We traveled with family and kids and the place was perfect. Clean and beautiful well kept home. We loved the dock. It had plenty of furniture and was perfect for our large group. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare family meals. The rooms were all nice and well kept. The game room was awesome but we spent most of our time on the dock and in the water. Very quiet cove where kids could swim and enjoy the water. We spent time on our boat which we docked at the house with no problems. There were tons of games, puzzles, and movies!!! I can’t say enough positives about the home. We bought stuff to make s’mores but never made it to the pit. Great place to stay with family.

Amazing does not cover it. House was clean and just as pictured and described. The boat dock was amazing spent a lot of time on it hanging out with my family. The open concept upstairs was a huge plus and the game room and rec area downstairs was a hit. House had all the amenities you could need or want. Have already recommended to others already.

Relaxing in the mountains
Tranquil setting in the mountains of SW Virginia was exactly what this family needed to unwind from the daily grind. Pleasantly surprised with the amenities and the view of Smith Mountain Lake. Would definitely do again.

Cabin fun
The house and property are beautiful. I was wary about dealing with a big company instead of the homeowner, because you can’t get simple questions answered like where to eat or rent a boat (luckily I researched all that ahead) but when we had an issue with the garbage, and I really thought we weren’t going to be assisted, but the garbage was indeed picked up the next morning, as per stated by the representative when I called. The house had a few minor issues, like a broken kitchen chair that was outside by the garbage when we arrived leaving us short a chair and all the 5 garbage bins provided being over full from Previous renters. Also, for a house that size, to only be given 2 dish towels, limited garbage bags, limited toilet paper, seems a little ridiculous. We had to buy countertop cleaner, garbage bags and toilet paper. There should be some more cleaning supplies so we can assist with keeping the kitchen clean. Also, a paddle board with no paddle! All in all SML was a great choice and i would recommend this house.

Perfect lake getaway
The house was immaculate and perfect for our group. The views from multiple rooms in the house was amazing. The outside area had lots of seating to enjoy the views! We have stayed at other SML properties and this was by far the easiest one to get to the lake level. There were some steps but not too steep. Would definitely stay her again!

Spring break getaway
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. The views were gorgeous and the teenagers loved the dock and fishing opportunities! We enjoyed wonderful conversations around the gorgeous, large island with our family where we laughed until we cried. We were even able to complete 2 large puzzles at one end of the island! We loved all of the bedrooms and the game room was a big hit for foosball, ping pong and air hockey. We all enjoyed our time together in this home!!

Family Recharge
Amazing. Property was clean and inviting. The view and dock a big plus. Family enjoyed the water activities (canoe and paddle board) during the day and the game room and games in the evening. Only comment from Grandma was the need for an additional table elsewhere in the house for cards, puzzles, crafts and games. Having just the dining room table and kitchen island made dining times a challenge. We will definitely be back!

We loved staying at the Cabin on the Cove. The layout of the house worked great for our group. We all had our own spaces. The kids loved the game room.
