Lake vacation
We had a wonderful stay. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and we loved sitting out on the dock reading or in the living room with the beautiful large windows. Lounging in the hot tub was the perfect way to end the day. Everything was very accurate to the pictures and perfect for our vacation. Would definitely stay again.

Smith Mountain Lake retreat
House was very nice, a bit dated. Cleaning could have been better. Took the blanket off the king bed and there was dirt and food crumbles and hair on the mattress. Also less than half a roll of toilet paper in each bathroom with no spares. Loved the area and other than above issues, our stay was great!

Week in Paradise
The property was as advertised with many fun amenities including games, videos, music a great location and wonderful weather for our time. Scott the host was very helpful and we had a different excursion each day: boating, hiking, horseshoes, hot tub and so much more. This is a 5 Star resort with a great host. Thanks for the memories!

Perfect weekend
The,home was clean and had all conveniences and then some. Loved the great room with wall of windows ans spent evenings playing board games from the huge selection there. Spent most of our day at the dock swimming, fishing, sunbathing and even tried the canoe and paddle boat for added adventure. Afternoon shade was welcomed and the hot tub a hit in the evening.The furniture is somewhat outdated but accurately reflected in pictures.

Great Lake House!
The house is located in a very nice quite cove, great for swimming. We loved the dock, morning sun and afternoon shade. The house is older but it had everything we needed and very spacious! The extra bedrooms are downstairs which are nice for the teenagers and older kids. There is a graveled path from the house to the dock which zigzags so it's not straight up and down (but it will let you know how out of shape you are). The house is close to Drifters and within a few minute boat ride to other restaurants on the lake including the bridge.

great vacation
The family had a great time with days spent on the dock and in the water. The only downfall to the house are the water amenities. The paddle boat and canoe are pretty much not usable. The paddle boat is extremely hard to pedal and I noticed it takes on water with every turn of the pedals. The canoe cross sup[ports are rotted which kept us out of that other than the first time we tried it.

Wonderful getaway! Peaceful and relaxing.
My wife and I got away for a romantic weekend on the lake/in the mountains and couldn't have asked for a better location. The property was clean and spacious. We barely left the master bathroom (except to go to the hot tub...which worked perfectly and was very relaxing). Owner communicated quickly and promptly to questions. If there is any complaint it's that the property does not have WiFi. Thankfully our cell service worked just fine, but could see how it would be frustrating for others who weren't so lucky.

Not fancy but very functional
Owner was very responsive when we needed help. However, beds were uncomfortable (very firm) If you are bringing a boat, do your homework in advance. Many of the nearby marinas do not allow public use. The state park is your best bet. The dock and tie up area provide plenty of room and is safe for children and bathers. Regarding the house, it is old (including appliances) but very well stocked and the knives were excellent. The driveway is narrow and is suitable for only the best trailer driver. Overall a good experience for us and Scott is very helpful.

Relaxing Getaway April
Property was spacious and views were beautiful! Plenty of space for my family. The house could use some upgrades, but as Scott has mentioned, the price then goes up as well. And you are in a beautiful location, and did I mention the views?! While it is a steep climb down and back up to the water, you're right on the water. There is a canoe and paddle boat, which we used on our stay without a problem. We did buy our own life jackets at a Walmart. The Foosball table was a hit for our family. Sitting out on the deck drinking coffee,and just looking out over the water was spectacular. We went in April, and while the weather was not cold, it was super warm either. During the summer months, this is an ideal spot. If it was warmer, we certainly would have rented a boat for a day or the full week as part of our vacation. There are multie marinas close by. My daughter and I went horse back riding nearby and there are many places to hike and enjoy the beautiful views. The hot tub was nice in the evening. Scott was extremely quick to answer a few questions when we arrived, and we enjoyed our time at Walls of Glass!

Wonderful location, but needs updating
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this home. We are frequent visitors to SML, so we've rented quite a few homes at the lake for comparison over the years. We would rate this property as okay overall, but making some updates would make it much more comfortable. Pros -- location is awesome, it's convenient to Moneta and Food Lion, the home was clean, has great sunrise views, our kids loved the games provided, the home had plenty of space for our family of 6 and it's located in quiet cove. The kids loved the canoe and paddle boat. The owner was also very attentive and helpful when we had issues with stove, which was appreciated. Cons -- The house feels very worn out overall from what we imagine is years of vacation rentals. Updating the pillows, bedding, furniture and appliances would make for a much more comfortable stay for guests. Also, there are no blinds in the main living room or on the windows in the lower bedrooms, which proved to be challenging. We also didn't see any life vests, which would be helpful for use of the water toys. We enjoy the charm of an older lake home, but a few updates would be much appreciated for overall guest comfort. Thank you for allowing us to use your home for the weekend!

Good and Bad
To Good Stuff; The owner was very quick to respond to a voice mail message left when I could not find a switch to a fan. The location was excellent. Close to grocery store and eating places. Location on the lake is fantastic with easy access to any part of the lake. The bad items; 1. I do not get why renters have to take their trash out when we pay an extremely high surcharge for a cleaning service? 2. If you have a cleaning service and a washer and dryer in the house then bathroom towels should be provided. This is the first rental of a VRBO where I had to bring my own. 3. No hand soap or shampoo in the bathrooms. Again, this is another first for a VRBO rental. 4. This driveway is in terrible condition. The entire thing is loose gravel and cars slid at slow speed while riding brakes. Trees grow too close and low branches will hit the vehicles using the driveway. We had 2 vehicles with boat trailers and we are all very experienced with backing trailers. DO NOT RENT THIS PLACE IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON BRINGING A BOAT TRAILER!! GETTING UP AND DOWN THIS DRIVEWAY IS DANGEROUS. Note to the owner - the simplest thing to do to improve the driveway for all would be to remove the island where the two forks of the driveway come together. Boat dock - beautifully shaded but only enough room for 1 boat to tie up. The lift will only work for jet skis. Note to owner - since there are 2 drive up jet ski pads the boat lift bunks should be reconfigured for renters to be able to put their own boat on it overnight. The wood on the dock is aged so make sure you wear shoes. The walk to the dock from the dock can be tricky. There are steps but over time the ground has become unlevel and the loose gravel adds to safety issues.
