The perfect lakeside experience

You'll be surrounded by shoreline with expansive views in a beautiful, wooded setting. Eat breakfast on the deck and watch for the blue heron who likes to land on the dock peak. It's a short, easy stroll down to the shoreline and extra large private dock with both sunny and shaded areas.  A canoe, 4 kayaks, 2 SUPs and various water toys are available to use during your stay. 

Large dock for all your watercraft 

Keep your boats, jet skis, etc at the large dock directly in front of the home. Boats and other watercraft may be rented from nearby marinas. 

There's plenty of room for the whole family to hang out on the dock which has covered, shaded areas with ceiling fans as well as a large area open to the sun. Getting into the water is easy via the steps near the shoreline or off the diving board. Boat traffic is minimal in the cove so swimming in the cove and along the shoreline is peaceful.


Ready for your daily adventures

Deserted island beaches, hidden fishing spots, private swimming coves, hiking trails, and the state park are just some of the destinations you can find by boat during your stay. With so much to explore at Smith Mountain Lake you could head out to somewhere new every day but will also have the dock and expansive shoreline to enjoy while staying at your home base.  There are ample restaurant varieties for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
