DockDaze is at a great location on Smith Mountain Lake, very close to anything you might need: grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, and boat rentals. The house is one of the most comfortable homes we have stayed at: nice living room furniture, comfortable beds with soft linens, bath towels, and even beach towels. But the best part is when you go down to the dock, the view of the lake is fantastic, and there are kayaks and paddle boards to use. There is plenty of seating at the dock; my wife loved the rope chair. It is very nice having the Tiki hut with a refrigerator down at the dock.And the Dining area with a fire pit was a great hit as well. We would definitely return to Dock Daze.

Our family stayed here for a week, and it was absolutely perfect. The home was immaculately clean, thoughtfully equipped (it was evident that the owners had intentionally considered every detail!), and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The dock area was incredible, not only the view (!!) but with plenty of lake toys and amenities that kept everyone entertained. The owner was kind, responsive, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. This property exceeded our expectations and was exactly what we were looking for. We would gladly stay here again!

We have stayed here a few times and have had a great experience every time! The owners are responsive and close by. This is the best lake area/dock/tiki bar we have been to. There is a nice lighted concrete path to the dock, some lake houses are a longer walk to the lake with many stairs, that is not the case here! There are also stairs into the lake as well as a ladder off of the dock. The hosts provide many amenities including chairs, floats, lawn games and a grill. The kitchen is fully stocked with things you need to cook and dishes, as well as a coffee maker that you can brew a pot of coffee or use pods. Close to Westlake for restaurants and close to the Moneta food lion. Overall a great place to stay, we will definitely be back!

Lovely home, great for families. We especially enjoyed the close proximity to Bridgwater Marina (restaurants, mini golf, shops and arcade) as well as the state park. We visited during the off season and still had plenty to do. We also enjoyed hanging out and fishing off the dock. This house has all the outdoor amenities you could want.

Both the home and the surrounding property were perfect for our winter getaway. We made s’mores in the fire pit, and the kids loved walking along the dock and shoreline, looking at the water. Inside was VERY clean, cozy and welcoming. We enjoyed the fireplace, closet full of games and cozy blankets for watching Christmas movies. They had it completely decorated inside and out for Christmas, which was an unexpected surprise! We are looking at booking the property again for a potential summer visit!
