Smith Mountain Lake Home with stunning views - Wet Cove- newly renovated

The house has had a major renovation in 2018 to accommodate many, up to 16 people. The home sits on a large peninsula in a very big cove with a marina below.
It has a beautiful view of Smith Mountain right off the deck, patio and dock. It is in a prime location.
The home is a wonderful place for large-gatherings for summer vacations, in the fall for the beautiful leaves and the holidays. It can accommodate a few families, a large family, a large group of friends and has been rented for work retreats, marriages, proposals and many different celebrations. Smith Mountain Lake, nicknamed the
"Jewel of the Blue Ridge", for its topaz water and emerald shores, has more than 580 miles of shoreline. It has become one of the most popular recreational lakes in Virginia, and a hub for boaters, wakeboarders, water skiers, kayakers, and fishing.

Fun time at SML
Our family thoroughly enjoyed the stay. It was a good fit for our party as we required a large number of bedrooms. Just a few suggestions: 1) We did not find a good selection of serving bowls but made do with what was there. Some more dinner forks would also be good. 2) We had a rental boat and think the dock would be better if the edges were padded in some way. Docking on the side with the metal ladder is also difficult due to the presence of the ladder. Minor complaints: 1) The housekeeper was still at work when we arrived at check in time. We realize she was short handed that day but it was inconvenient for us. 2) One bed was not made up; however, it was not needed by our party so not a huge issue.

Awesome home with plenty of views!!!
This home far exceeded our expectations! It was unanimous that this home was by far the best venue we've ever had for our 9 year golf tournament. Thank you, Susanne for allowing us to use this beautiful home. You provided us everything we needed, and your prompt communications were appreciated. Everything about the home was amazing, and the cleanliness, quality and abundance of amenities were unsurpassed! Look forward to coming back again in the near future.

Perfect Family Retreat!
Location - Perfect lake location with a dock on a quiet cove. The actual neighborhood getting there isn't stellar, but you spend your time out back where it's pretty private! Safe for kids to swim about, paddle board, etc... Indoor space - enormous kitchen area and island - we served dinner for TWELVE at the counter each night! High end appliances. A bar upstairs and downstairs with ice machines, beverage fridges, etc... More TVs than we knew what to do with... Comfortable beds throughout. Well appointed bathrooms. There is a Keurig - bring pods! Several games, as well as some life vests and water toys available. Outdoor space - great deck and patio, really well landscaped, easy walk down to the dock where we spent all day fishing, paddle boarding, swimming and playing. There's a screened porch with fans as well - took a few conference calls there! Communication with host - Suzanne is so nice and very responsive! There were a few items we brought up right away - damage to floors and windows that we wanted to be sure she knew wasn't from us, inadequate silverwear for such a large house. All repairs and replenishments already under way from what I understand, and certainly nothing that detracted from our stay (all the kinds of things that happen to a rental property, unfortunately). I would strongly suggest shades in the owner's suite, or that renters bring a sleep mask if you want to sleep in! All in all, it's a beautiful house that's been in the family that Suzanne wants to be perfect for her renters. We had a fantastic time, and know future renters will as well.

Would definitely recommend this house for a large group!!
Beautiful house at a great location on the lake. Lots of room for everyone, bathroom and kitchens are beautiful. Beds super comfortable too. My only concern would be the stocking of the kitchen. There was not enough silverware for a party of 14 and no large stockpots to use for a large group and could not find a blender. But other than that it was fantastic!!

Great short Spring Break stay with family
We completely enjoyed our stay at this great lakefront home. We love to cook and the gourmet kitchen was perfect for our needs. The living areas was very comfortable and the outdoor spaces were excellent including an expansive upper deck and paved patio on the lower level with a fire pit and a screened-in porch. The bedrooms were all well-appointed. Plenty of towels and linens provided for everyone and the owner was very responsive to our questions. Would highly recommend this property to groups big and small.
