Location is great. The dock and firepit were really nice for our family fun

What a little treasure this cottage is! Amazing views of the mountains and lake with great water access.
Pros: Scenic views, walk-in water access (great for kids/dogs), water toys (2 kayaks, 2 SUPs, 1 canoe), lovely dock to lounge on (plenty of seating with hammocks, outdoor table, polywood chairs), firepit great for s'mores, foosball table in the basement (a hit with the kids), stocked kitchen with items you need (crock pot and the basics), beautiful vaulted ceilings in living room, enjoyable screened-in porch, extra large couch and dining table for larger families, lovely [newer] sliding doors to porch - the list goes on.
Cons: Main bathroom was a bit tiny and dated, basement bathroom was a no-go for my crew, spiderwebs were excessive (a quick broom sweep helped clear it up for our stay though), campfire chairs were sun-dried and brittle, basement appears to be a work in progress, grocery store was a bit far (plan ahead and you are fine!).
All in all, it was a great stay and I would recommend! You simply cannot beat those views and being located on a quiet cove on the lake. Truly a gem!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here with our dog. The beachfront access is hard to find for our senior dog to enter the water & swim. The house was spacious enough for us with the large sectional & roomy screened porch area. The shower was a bit small but otherwise the house was a nice. The water levels changed quite a bit before & after the rainfall but ultimately our time here was awesome and the place was a relaxing getaway.

Another great stay at “Lake living at its finest!”
This sweet little cottage was perfect for our end of summer SML visit. Our favorite spot (next to the awesome wide lake view from dock) was the cozy screen porch-from morning coffee, lunch, to wine-time and dinner- this was our go-to indoor space. Can’t wait to return.

The home includes use of canoe, 2 kayaks and 2 paddle boards. We had our teens and some teen friends, which this house was perfect for. The dock is perfect to swim off of. We rented a boat for the week from Parrot Cove (most affordable option) and easily pulled up and tied to the dock. The owner was responsive to small questions. Kitchen has a crock pot and griddle. Grill is propane. All of these little things made our packing lighter and our days more enjoyable.

My family and I have stayed at various locations throughout Smith Mountain Lake and this lake house quickly became our home. All the amenities were as described and access to this quiet area of the lake was perfect. Great mountain and lake views and enough relaxing fun for the entire family. Book early!

We loved the cozy living room and amazing screen porch. There was plenty of space for our two young kids, us, and my sister! There was a huge and super comfy sectional sofa and a great fireplace that we made an awesome fire in with the firewood that the hosts left for us. We had a great time hanging out in the house since it rained most of the weekend and was pretty cold. When it did clear up a little, the view from the dock was gorgeous! Had we not had two small children and our dog running around threatening to go swimming when they didn't have the skills, and if it hadn't been raining, it would have been the place we hung out the most probably. It was set up for hanging out, with adirondack chairs and hammocks and a table for eating and playing games. Turns out, however, that the screen porch was a better fit for our chaos:) We also really enjoyed playing fusbol in the basement room. Plus they had a pack n play for our 1 year old so we didn't have to pack our own! One thing we did miss was that we had to provide our own linens, so we totally forgot that, but the owner was amazing and kind enough to let us borrow a set that they had and wash them in their washing machine. And he was incredibly responsive to all of our needs!! Soooo I'll leave you with this, don't forget your towels and sheets!!!!!!!!

This house exceeded our expectations. I say this reluctantly and at the risk that it will be booked up the next time we want to visit-and there will DEFINITELY be a NEXT TIME!
I have been visiting (mostly day trips) SML all my life. LLAIF reminded me of how sweet this lake was in the early days before all the multi-million $$$ “castles” started springing up.
The neighborhood was quiet, wooded, and perfect for walking our dog. This was our first visit with our Lab and this house was definitely the place for his introduction to SML. Nice cove right off main channel with spectacular long water view and a easy entry into the water for our dog.
The house was nicer than I had anticipated being that it was “dog friendly.”-very comfortable and cozy-screen porch was AWESOME. Nice simple touches that many other rentals miss-extra towel racks in bath and hooks in all bedrooms and entry. The double sink vanity in the bathroom made managing with 1-bath very doable. Beds and couch very comfortable. Lots of room on deck with plenty of lounging chairs.
We already have plans to return in July and we can’t wait!!!

We were looking for a getaway, not too far from home. We had a very nice stay at the lake house. If you're looking for outdoor fun and family time, this is a great spot. I loved waking up in the morning with my coffee and looking out at the lake. It was great to just walk outside, grab a kayak and go! We hope to return in the Summer and get some warm-weather fishing in. There is a marina very close by where you can rent boats and/or book fishing charter. The house had everything we needed, we really enjoyed it.

House was perfect size and in a perfect location just minutes from the marina where we rented a pontoon boat. Loved the house’s private boat dock area with swings and seating and the private beach on this property. The house’s boat dock was a great place to watch the sunset and see all the stars come out. House had paddle boards and kayaks too. Really lovely to sit on the big screened in porch overlooking the water!

The house was comfortable overall but the bedrooms are very small and 1 very outdated bathroom for 4 adults was not comfortable. We knew about the downstairs bathroom but that became seriously annoying to have to go outside to access. There is no tub to bathe children. A full size mirror somewhere would have been useful. The back porch is wonderful. The owner is generous with offering use of household items and water toys. The sandy beach was nice for accessing the water, which got deep very quickly so great location for boating and swimming.
We appreciated being able to bring our dog but didn't learn till we arrived that a neighbor's cat wanders the property all day, particularly the dock area. The cat is very friendly and our dog is not bothered by cats but others might be so it should be noted in the listing. The cat made itself comfy on chairs and towels left out, leaving cat hair to shake out so that would be a problem for anyone allergic. Additionally, the neighborhood is full of dogs, who bark a lot. One large dog swam in from another house to approach our dog and the toddler. He seemed friendly enough but it was a little unnerving to face a strange dog that way, with no owner in site.
The dock has lots of seating but is mostly sunny so an umbrella would have been useful. Shoes are a must..the entire dock is in need of repair. Raised, uneven, splintered boards were a problem every step.
Overall, we had a very nice week and thank the owner for sharing his home.

We had an amazing time at this lake property. House was very clean, lawn was clean, beach and dock were clean. The little beach was great for our 2 and 3 year old to play on. The shallow water entry was very helpful for little kids not experienced with swimming/deep water. We would definitely stay at this place again!

The property was great and family friendly. We enjoyed our stay and its proximity to Mitchell's Point Marina, which allowed us to rent a boat for the day with ease.

We were supposed to be at the beach but our plans chaged at the last minute. Wanting a change of scenery and to still get away for a few days we found this place. Nice cozy little home with lovely screened in porch. Great dock and small beach area at the water. Even though it was just two of us and our dog there was plenty of room for more! Bed rooms were somewhat tight and shower was small but most of your time will be spent at the water or in other areas of the house. We also enjoyed walks around the neighborhood and dinner one night at Mitchell's Restaurant & Pizzeria which is just around the corner at the marina.
