Top Smith Mountain Lake Hotel Reviews

Fall is a great time for a relaxing getaway at Birds Eye View, Bernard's Landing

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at Birds Eye View! Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Great location. And awesome view! Our 2nd time here, and we hope to be back next year!"

Romantic SML Penthouse, Bernard’s Landing. Smith Mountain Lake 3 Pools

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay. You could not ask for a better location"

Walkout waterfront condo located in Bernard's Landing at Smith Mountain Lake!

10/10 Excellent

"Best among the best. We have stayed at Bernard's multiple times, in multiple buildings/condos and this one is by far our new favorite. The condo has absolutely everything needed for a wonderful vacation. Kurig/coffee maker, towels, pillows, coffee pods, dishwasher and clothes washer pods, toaster, pots, pans, silverware, cups etc. etc. it's all there so you dont have to haul it in yourself! The owners have thought of just about everything! The condo was super clean and modern, great pressure in the showers, I think you get the point! Outside: I could sit on the patio all day, every day!! Lots of seating, an electric blackstone, and cool string lighting makes it a great hangout. Literally steps from the dock and small beach with absolutely perfect views out over beautiful Smith Mountain Lake. Even with the water level down our 23' boat had no problem docking at the slips right in front of the condo with 9' of water off the stern. Short paddle on our paddle boards out to Ribbit Island as well. The only disappointing part of this stay was leaving!!!! "

ON LAKE TIME: Lakefront Condo with Beautiful Views of Smith Mountain Lake

Moondance at BERNARD’S LANDING

Amazing Views and Two Kayaks Ready to Use!

10/10 Excellent

"The condo was spotless, very comfortable, lots of room for a couple. Owner was responsive and very helpful, easy to reach. The view from the balcony is gorgeous. We would definitely stay again."

Cozy Lakefront Condo with Kayaks at Bernard's Landing on Smith Mountain Lake

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic family stay at Bernard’s Landing. The condo was clean, comfortable, quiet, and a great home base for exploring Smith Mountain Lake. The location was the biggest highlight. We enjoyed the private lakeside beach, pools, walking paths, waterfront views, and beautiful sunsets without needing to drive everywhere. We rented a pontoon from The Dock at Smith Mountain Lake and spent a full day boating, tubing, swimming, and relaxing on the water. We also visited Smith Mountain Lake State Park, stopped at Smith Mountain Lake Coffee House, and spent an evening at Bridgewater Plaza where we ate at Mango’s, played mini golf, visited the arcade, and walked around the shops. We also had dinner at Napoli by the Lake right at Bernard’s Landing. We traveled with three kids ages 5–12, and there was something for everyone. We originally planned another excursion but ended up spending more time at the resort because the kids were having such a great time. Overall, this was a great family-friendly place to stay with easy lake access, nice amenities, and plenty to do nearby. We would absolutely consider staying here again."
