Embrace the spaciousness of the open floor plan, ping pong room, family room, game room and 6 bedrooms providing ample space for your large family to come together or find their own space. Walls of large windows offer uninterrupted views of the lake, while an expansive deck and even larger patio beckon you to bask in the beauty of the outdoors.
Explore the Lake

The beautiful cove is mostly undeveloped with lots of wildlife and a great place for a kayak or paddle board journey. There's plenty of dock space if you bring your own watercraft or rent from the nearby marina. Whether you're swimming in the crystal-clear waters, casting a line for a relaxing fishing session, or simply soaking up the sun on the private dock, there's no shortage of ways to enjoy the tranquil beauty of the cove. Bring your watercraft or rent a boat or jet skis at the nearby marinas.
Convenient Access to Attractions
With marinas and waterfront restaurants within a 5-minute boat ride, convenience meets adventure at your doorstep. Explore the largest section of the lake, with islands and natural beaches waiting to be discovered, or embark on a journey to waterfront restaurants and charming attractions accessible by boat. The state park is only 8 minutes away and Mariner's Landing restaurants and golf course are even closer.
Evenings by the Firepit
As the sun sets, gather around the crackling fire pit to roast marshmallows and share stories under the starlit sky. With the gentle lapping of the waves as your soundtrack, every moment spent by the fire is bound to become a cherished memory.

The communication from Lou was timely and very helpful, providing both details of the house and surrounding areas and services. House was clean and warm when we arrived. Really nice to have the kayaks, canoes, and access to the dock amenities. Would like to return during summer to truly take advantage of all that is Smith Mountain Lake.

Great lakefront house
We loved the location on a quiet inlet, and the bar at the dock got a lot more use than we were expecting. Great fishing off the dock too. Fantastic stay.
