About this property
Lakefront Home - Private Dock, Kayaks, Game Room, Fire Pit, Pet-Friendly
Welcome to Stillwater Retreat—your waterfront lakefront escape on a quiet cove at Smith Mountain Lake.
Designed for easy, laid-back lake days, this pet-friendly home offers direct water access, a private dock, and space to relax both inside and out. Whether you’re kayaking in the morning, spending the afternoon on the water, or unwinding by the fire pit in the evening, everything here is set up for a simple, memorable stay.
Outdoor living is a highlight: Enjoy a spacious deck with lake views, a private dock for swimming, fishing, or tying up your boat, and a custom-built lakeside fire pit area with Adirondack seating—perfect for s’mores and evenings under the stars. Guests also have access to 2 kayaks and a paddleboard to explore the quiet cove.
Inside, there’s room for everyone to unwind: The main level features a comfortable living area with lake views and a gas fireplace, along with a fully equipped kitchen and dining space. Downstairs, the game room includes a pool table, foosball, darts, board games, and a second TV lounge—ideal for families and groups to spread out.
Sleeping areas are designed for comfort, and a dedicated workspace in the master bedroom includes a desk, chair, and power/USB access for remote work.
Location makes it easy: Walk to a nearby gas station and Vinny’s Italian Restaurant, or take a short drive to Bridgewater Plaza for lakeside dining, shops, mini golf, arcade, and boat rentals. Grocery stores like Kroger and Food Lion are just minutes away.
Good to know before booking: - The driveway and path to the dock are steep (typical for lakefront homes). Steps have been improved with wider treads and a sturdy handrail on the main section. - The downstairs bathroom includes a smaller, cabin-style shower. - This is a classic lake home—clean, comfortable, and continuously improving (not ultra-modern).
Property notes: Two outdoor cameras are installed (driveway and lake-facing) for property monitoring and are not active during guest stays.
Dock & Water Safety Notice: This is a lakefront property with a private dock. Use of the dock, lake, swimming, boating, and any water activities is entirely at your own risk. Children and pets must be supervised at all times near the water. No diving from the dock. Guests assume full responsibility for their safety and the safety of all members of their party.
