Large Townhouse

We stayed here for the Thanksgiving holiday and the kitchen was more than adequate. Multiple levels allowed for my family to spread and have privacy. Be sure to arrive with everything you need, nothings close.

Relaxing Lake Stay

We had a great time at the property. The view of the lake was peaceful. The hot tub was relaxing. There is a pool table but we didn’t use it. The kitchen had a full spice rack and a few other pantry items available. Terry did a great job communicating with us.

Excellent Townhome On Quiet Cove

This was our very first visit to SML and we fell in love! Terry has such a wonderful property tucked away on a quiet cove. Clean, stocked with so many extras we never see at other rentals. We talked many times during our stay about coming back and staying at Terry’s place! Thank you for answering all of my questions Terry! You have a lovely place and we hope to come back next year!!

Relaxed

We enjoyed this home! Lots of space, amazing location, and felt peace. The kayaks were fun and easy to use! The grocery store is 30 minutes away so plan your week. The restaurants about about the same distance. I didn’t read about needing to bring/rent my own linens and towels but the host gave me info to the lady who does that. It was an extra expense but I should have read the details so that was my fault. The upstairs beds (king and queen) were super comfy. Be prepaid to take the trash to the dumpster that’s 5 miles away as that’s part of checking out. We weren’t able to because our car was so packed. The host did not charge us the fee so that was very kind. Overall, a wonderful and relaxing stay!

Perfect house for our summer lake vacation

We just got home from our trip to SML and I cannot say enough great things about Terry's home. The house was situated in a quiet cove with easy access to the water. There were floaties to use as well as kayaks so plenty to keep three teen boys busy outside! Inside there was a game room upstairs with a pool table and tons of games. The basement aka "teen cave" had a TV and gaming system where the boys spent the evenings.The house was a great setup for our family and everyone had plenty of space. The house was well appointed with extras such as shampoo/conditioner, spices in the kitchen and tons of dishes and cookware. We had a wonderful week and would rent again from Terry!

Family getaway for birthday celebration

We had an amazing time celebrating my children’s birthday. We stayed for an extended weekend. Weather was beautiful; scenery was amazing. The property was great we enjoyed the space, played pool, cooked meals together, ate in the deck, enjoyed the sunset and had a pleasant time as a family. The hot tub was a favorite with everyone. We rented a boat while we were there and enjoyed a day in the water. Overall, would definitely come back and stay here again.

Enjoyable and relaxing stay

We had a VERY enjoyable and relaxing stay here. This townhouse is nicely-decorated and well-provisioned, encompassing four stories from its basement family room with bunk beds to its top floor room with skylights and pool table. The views of the cove from the living room and upstairs balconies were amazing. We often ate outdoors at either of the two patio tables to enjoy the scenery. Beautiful weather for four days straight allowed us to take advantage of the provided kayaks to explore some neighboring coves, as well as swim in the local cove. The neighborhood is also conducive to taking walks. We found the hot tub to be very relaxing, even when it was raining outside. Speaking of rain, there is no shortage of things to do if it rains. We made the trek up to the pool table room at least once or twice a day. That room also has shelves stocked with a variety of games for children and adults. The TV's provided a large selection of streaming options to watch as well. We recommend Tuscan Tavern and Blackwater Cafe for dinner, and the Ice Cream Cottage at Bridgewater Plaza for dessert. Thank you for a totally relaxing time!

Smith Mt. Lake - a nice change of pace

Property was just as described and easy to make ourselves at home. We typically go to the beach but this was a nice change of pace. Having the kayaks already provided was a big plus and simplified things. Beautiful sunset trips out on the water multiple nights was just like something from a postcard or a movie. Oddly in 28 years of marriage we've never vacationed at the same property twice but I could easily imagine planning a future trip that breaks that streak.

Nice Lakeside Stay

This lakeside vacation home was enjoyable for me and my family. There are good amenities like the kayaks, hot tub, deck, grill and pool table. The home is very comfortable with a convenient kitchen, eating area and living room. Plenty of beds and space for several people. The home is situated with a great view of the lake and a nearby dock to swim off of. It is also located very close to Mitchell's Marina and within a short ride of other nearby businesses. Some areas of the home could use a little updating, but overall the home is very nice.

SML is a gem

The property manager was excellent, kept us well informed on what was provided and what was needed to make our stay excellent. The house was perfect for a family (or two) with plenty of rooms, bathrooms, and extra family space. Multiple decks that all overlook the lake were a plus! Neighbors were so friendly. The house included 4 kayaks with all the life vests and other floats to really enjoy the lake without spending additional money to rent! There were a couple lake beaches within 15 or 40 mins drive to spend the day with the kids. We also rented a boat for the day and had a blast. This lake community is such a gem, we will definitely be back!

We found this cute townhouse last minute on the way home from our wedding. So glad we did! It was super relaxing with no stress. The place is on a quiet cove with kayaks and a hot tub! Recommend for next time at Smith Mountain lake. 😎🤩😊 *Make sure you bring towels and linens*

About the host

Hosted by Terry McGauvran

Our family, after years of considering a lake house, acted upon our dream in 2017 after discovering our future waterfront home at Saunders Point. Our adult children and their partners have always enjoyed outdoor activities on the water. So upon seeing this special place, all agreed that Shangri-la is where we need to be. -

Why they chose this property

Love all the space this property provides, and the large main deck with two tables and chairs, not to mention the lake views. The structural offset of 4 individual town homes gives it a private feel with the landscaping and terraced steps to the water an added plus.

What makes this property unique

Being here on the forested southeastern shore of the lake is like stepping back to a simpler place and time. A place for renewal. Whether fishing, swimming, kayaking, or walking nearby hiking trails, or perhaps simply relaxing on our decks overlooking the water, we invite you to settle back and share the joy of this natural setting with us.
