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

"We had a fantastic time. The rental was great for my husband, myself and 2 grandkids. They loved the bunk beds. Rental was very clean, had a great lake view! The kitchen was well stocked, pots and pans were great quality. We would definitely stay here again."

"Our stay was very nice! Condo had everything we needed and the view was fabulous. Loved being close to the pool and parking and boat rental right on site."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Condo was as advertised!! Great view!!"

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."
