About this property

One of the best houses on SML! Great dock, lake toys and tons of space.



Welcome to lakefront luxury!

This beautifully appointed home is nestled in a peaceful deep-water cove, just minutes from Westlake Center's shops, restaurants, and marinas—offering the perfect blend of serenity and convenience by both land and water.

We offer weekly rentals during the summer months, with flexible options available throughout the rest of the year.

The home features 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, plus a cozy den. Sleeping arrangements include:
- Bedroom 1: King bed
- Bedroom 2: King bed + 2 single trundles
- Bedroom 3: Queen bed
- Bedroom 4: Queen bed + 4 built-in single bunks
- Den: Twin bed

The main floor includes a spacious kitchen with a dining bar, a formal dining room, living room, den, half-bath, sitting room, and the primary suite with private bath and deck access. The lower level offers a large family room with a bar area, laundry room, three additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a screened-in porch.

Step outside to enjoy lakeside living at its finest—dine on the expansive deck with a gas grill, outdoor dining table, and fire pit. Play a round of ping pong on the screened porch, soak up the sun on the private dock, or unwind with a cozy fire indoors after a day on the water.

Your stay includes everything you need for a carefree getaway: linens, towels, paper products, and a fully stocked kitchen with spices and essentials. Entertainment is covered with two large-screen TVs, a gaming monitor, Wi-Fi, and games.

Outside, enjoy a large private dock with a diving board, tree swing, life jackets, two kayaks, and plenty of floats. Boat enthusiasts are welcome—there's a neighborhood launch and plenty of room to tie up at the dock.

All that’s missing is you! Come relax, recharge, and make lifelong memories at the lake.

Weekend to remember
Gorgeous property & home . First time at the lake and it was wonderful. Super fun. Boat dock was so nice to wake up to. Breezy point Lane boat launch was easier for us to use than the neighborhood Gangplank launch.

Great Property and Amenities
Our party of 8 (6 adults and 2 teens) thoroughly enjoyed our time at the lake. Kirsten is an excellent host and communicator. The house was stocked with essentials. Location was perfect. We loved the dock, which was well equipped with seating, kayaks, rope swing, and diving board. We highly recommend this property!

Beautiful, well appointed and situated home
This house was perfect for 7 adults and 3 children. The kitchen was incredibly equipped for meal preparation and we found everything we needed for a long weekend to enjoy our time together. The cove is quite and nice for floating and swimming even for very young children. The host is very sweet and helpful. Easy to book, enjoyable to stay!

Amazing luxury lakefront home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is gorgeous inside and out with lots of personal and artistic touches. The location is very convenient to shopping, restaurants and marinas and the neighborhood is lovely. We will definitely try to stay there again. I would highly recommend booking this home.

Amazing SML stay!
We had such an amazing weekend. This house was soooo nice. Everything in the house was top quality all the way down to the sheets and the towels. This house had everything we could have wanted for a fun lake weekend. Kirsten was an amazing host and everything went smooth with checking it. We’re definitely staying here again for our lake weekends. I couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay.

A Family Gathering Gem
Our stay at Kirsten's home surpassed our expectations! We loved the home, its location and the attention to details especially for a family like ours who love to play games, boat, kayak, and eat home cooked meals. The appliances in the house are top rate, the ping pong table was used continuously and the fire pit was an added bonus for the cool evenings. Kirsten is a terrific host who communicates honestly and in a timely manner. The home is expensive and worth every penny! We will want to stay here again in the future. Our adult children thanked us many times over for finding such a wonderful house to stay.

A magical home and location!
This is our second year returning to this house because it’s just so perfect. The location overlooking the water, the beautiful dock, and the gorgeous home and all of its accoutrements are a great way to spend a week at SML. We’re already talking about booking for next year! We had a small inconvenience at the beginning of the trip which the owners were so apologetic about, and they more than made up for by graciously letting us stay longer — it was such a nice surprise. Thank you, Kirsten!

5 Star property on the lake
A spectacular property all around, the pictures really don’t do it justice! It has an excellent layout that provides both privacy for getting school and remote work done (including a great home office set up), but it also has great gathering areas for the family after work. The interior has high-end designer furnishings throughout, including the kitchen appliances, TV's, streaming services, and Wifi which are all state of the art. The view from the kitchen, sitting room, and deck were all perfect for sunrises and the tabletop firepit was a great addition for the evenings. The exterior is just as wonderful with a beautiful selection of flowers, plants, and trees that are meticulously landscaped. And the large dock area provided great family relaxation time down by the water. Even the garage and covered entry way was great to have, since we arrived during a thunderstorm. There was clearly a lot of thought put into this property as it provides plenty of comforts and amenities for both kids and adults, and it really shows!

SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE
This home is absolutely beautiful and the property was awesome. We went to celebrate Thanksgiving and I was very impressed with the kitchen. Our grandchildren had fun fishing off the dock. The host was always available and made our stay so much more pleasurable by proving us with all of her thoughts and suggestions on what to do in Smith Mountain Lake. Would definitely go to this property again.

Utterly fantastic home
We visited with 3 adults and 6 teens — this house had tons of space and the perfect room configurations. We loved lounging on the dock couches/swings and magic carpet during the day, as well as sitting at the firepit table on the high deck off the living room for breakfast and after dark. The cove is lovely and quiet, the home is near lots of amenities, and the owner was super helpful and responsive when we had a few questions. Already dreaming of next year!

This is a beautiful home on the lake with all the amenities and conveniences for a week’s vacation. The house is situated in a quiet cove and we loved spending time on the dock and enjoyed using the kayak and floats. Kirsten was prompt to replying to all of our questions.

Incredible Smith Mountain Lake getaway for the family!!
If you are looking for a home right on the water at Smith Mountain Lake that has a little something for everyone, this is the house for you! The view alone from the top deck is incredible, but the house has so much character and even our kids were on cloud 9 our entire stay. The owners were incredible to work with and we would recommend this house to anyone!

Spring Break 2022
We enjoyed relaxing at this beautiful home during a chilly spring break at SML. I had a rental wetsuit delivered while we were there to prepare for an upcoming open water triathlon. My dog dipped his toes in the lake and considered chasing a couple of ducks. Too cold for swimming this year! Thank you for having us!

Family Time Before Deployment
We had a perfect stay at this property with our adult sons and their girlfriends. We thought every detail was amazing from the beautiful lake view, the comfortable seating on the boat dock and the lovely furnishings in every room. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen and the nice grill and firepit on the upper deck. We did a lot of cooking during our stay. The family room downstairs made a perfect spot to watch the college football game and later to play games. We had a ping pong competition and did a lot of kayaking. The most special part of the weekend was watching our oldest son propose to his girlfriend down on the dock as the sun was setting. That made a lovely back drop for engagement pictures. I can not say enough good things about our stay. We will definitely return here with our family in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Kirsten B Evans

Host profile image
We have been fortunate to host great guests. I love to chat with our guests and help them take advantage of all that our property and Smith Mountain Lake have to offer. It is fun to be part of another family's fun moments and memories.

Why they chose this property

Location—Great by land and water. We are located just off the main channel (R25) in the center of SML. The stores are a 10-minute drive away, which provides easy access to restaurants, groceries, and attractions.

Cove & Dock - The neighborhood's deep water cove allows kids to swim safely with minimal boat traffic. The diving board and tree swing are great for kids of all ages.

Stylish—This is not leftover furniture land. It is designed to be a great family retreat with upscale furniture, artwork, and finishes. We have spaces for adults, kids, and game players.

Amenities—Linens, lake toys, and paper supplies (spices, hairdryers, soap, lake toys) are all included. Just bring your beach towels!

What makes this property unique

The decor is modern and stylish—not your typical lake cottage. We provide linens, whereas many other SML rentals require you to bring your own. The kitchen is well stocked, requiring you to provide the main food ingredients, and we provide life jackets, kyacks, and floats. Wi-Fi is available at the dock as well.
