At night, after you watch the wide water view sunset, relax by one of the stone fireplaces this home offers, reading your favorite book, playing games or putting together a puzzle. If it's too warm for the indoor fireplaces, enjoy the outdoor fire pit with the lake lapping on the shore next to you! Plenty of firewood provided and seating next to the fire pit!

Happy Family Holiday

Our family spent a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at Dream Come True on Smith Mountain Lake. The home was well maintained and thoroughly equipped with many unexpected amenities. The weather was cold, windy and a bit rainy but our family spent many happy hours in the large family/game room enjoying the pool table, playing games and most importantly, enjoying each other. There was a large woodburning fireplace in the room and the hospitable and thoughtful owners provided plenty of well-seasoned firewood. The fireplace provided many large, cozy fires that really added comfort and warmth to our family time. The house is located on a beautiful cove and situated right on the lake. The views across the cove from the large deck were beautiful. A summer stay at this lovely home would be a different kind of wonderful. All in all, a delightful memory maker of a stay.

Dream Home

We really loved our stay at Dream Home. Peaceful evenings sitting by the beautiful deck, beautiful mornings watching the still waters and listening to the birds. It is conveniently located near the most beautiful areas of the lake. We really created beautiful memories and looking forward to a new adventure.

Dream Come True is exactly a Dream Come True

Amazing Hosts and property. The house has everything any group would need to include the best stocked Kitchen I have ever seen. We did not need to bring anything. The house is unique and perfect for group interaction or privacy. The decks and outdoor living area is exceptional and filled with water toys, floaters, and kayaks. We also rented and docked a boat here. An ice cream boat came by each evening to deliver ice cream on the dock! We saw deer and baby ducks and enjoyed swimming right off the dock. I could not give this place or the hosts a better recommendation. We will be coming back as soon as we can!

Wonderful home on the lake.

Having the home so close to the water was amazing. No stairs or steep walk to the water was so nice. the home has everything and more that we needed, from the kitchen to fire pit. I have rented homes from VRBO for years and Judy is the nicest owner I have ever worked with. We are looking forward to staying in this home again.

Perfect getaway

This property couldn’t have been better. The house was clean, comfortable, and centrally located to what we were interested in doing. We’ve stayed in a lot of rentals over the years, and What makes this one of our favorite places is the extras that Judy provides. From coffee and creamer to all of the fun activities in the house for a rainy day, there couldn’t be a better rental.

Incredible Lake Home

We had an incredible time at this gorgeous lake home. Thoughtful touches of a full coffee bar and nook was great for early risers and the downstairs game room was perfect for late nighters. Spent a lot of time in the deck overlooking the lake. You’re literally sitting on top of the water! So many perks and owners extremely kind and very responsive. We highly recommend this property!

Aptly Named!

I can't imagine a more perfect property for a lake vacation. It is luxurious in a most comfortable way, and holds the 10-person capacity without ever feeling crowded. This area of the lake is beautiful and, while we were there, quiet -- but you can easily access the larger part of the lake and local marinas and restaurants. The owner could not have been more gracious before, during and after our rental. We will certainly hope to uses this property again - it provided the perfect family vacation spot.

I had the privilage of staying at this home on SML this past summer of 09. I have been staying on lakes all my life and this home was truly perfect for my family and friends. Perfect place for family,friends,and pets to hang out. So warm and inviting with the amenities of a 5 star hotel. I would highly recommend this lake house to any of my friends and family and plan to return there soon.

AWESOME home, great experience!

This is the absolute ideal lake house! Being directly on the water was so convenient! Judy was the perfect host and was great to communicate with! The house was stocked with all the essentials and truly provided everything needed for a getaway. Will certainly be looking to return to stay at this home and will make it a longer stay next time because it was so enjoyable. Great location on the lake and is tucked into a very quiet cove. 10/10 experience!

Great location, lovely home

We stayed for a long weekend in mid-October. It’s a wonderful time to be at the lake - very quiet and serene. The home is (literally) on the water and the deck was the most popular spot in the whole house. Judy provided us with plenty of info, including boat rentals, and that was a huge highlight for all. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need and more. All in all, a lovely home at a beautiful location.

Amazing vacation!!

Judy made everything so easy & stayed in touch throughout! We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and fun things to do on the water! From comfortable beds & well-stocked kitchen to amazing decks and lake views. There was plenty of seating both inside and outside. We had a great time with the paddle boat, kayaks, ping pong, and fire pit, just lazing around in the water, and nightly visits from the ice cream boat. Did not want to leave!

About the host

Hosted by Judy

Host profile image
We live in NC and have been coming to SML for several years with our family. We own a business so we have the flexibility to visit our home every 2 weeks. Even when it is booked, we go up and check on things on the day renters are leaving. Therefore, we can keep the house in excellent condition!

Why they chose this property

Our home is very unique and truly a 'lake house'! We did not want to climb steps or a hill to go back and forth to the water so when we saw this home we knew it was the one! We love the fireplaces, the woodwork and best of all - the deck over the water that is accessed straight from the living room!! Also, the master bedroom is beautiful - cathedral wood ceiling, stone gas fireplace and a deck over the water!

What makes this property unique

This home is on the water. When the lake is at full pond, the water hits the foundation of our home! I kid people & tell them that they could fish out of the master bedroom windows!! It is so peaceful! We visit our home every 2 weeks - even during the summer months - to personally check on it and make sure it is in top condition for our visitors! The sunset views from our home are fantastic. The best part is you feel as though you are on top of the lake - even standing at the kitchen sink! It is truly one of the most unique homes on SML! Our home is equipped like no other. We leave it as though we were staying there except for our personal food! You name it, we have it! From fully equipped kitchen, lake toys, games, books, extensive video collection, puzzles! We have a tiki bar but actually the whole house is your tiki bar cause the house sits on the lake! Plenty of dock room for sunning & watching the sunsets. Large floater to tie boats up to or to sit on a watch the lake activity! Two decks over the water & connected onto the house. Eat your meals on the upper deck which extends straight out from the living room/kitchen area. Come enjoy our home as much as we do! We have now added 3 kayaks! We are situated in a great cove to use the kayaks. We love to have our dogs with us so we have a fenced in yard plus the dock has a gate on it so the dogs can enjoy lake time as well!
