Excellent place!

This place was wonderful! It was very clean and located on a quiet place on the lake. Each couple having their own bathroom was a plus, and an additional powder room was nice. The screened in porch was nice- there were no mosquitoes to worry about! It was comfortable and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again.

great trip to smith mt lake condo

We loved the condo. It was clean, we loved the little extra touches that made our stay great. The condo was large enough that everyone had their own space. The screened porch was definitely a hit. Having access to the dock and a slip for our rented boat was also great. This was our first trip to the area and will not be our last.

A Great Condo at SML

Our family had an amazing stay at this pristine condo. The kitchen had everything we needed for meals and was stocked with paper products, cascade pods, foil, etc. Beds were incredibly comfortable too! Check-in and check-out instructions were easy to follow and we greatly appreciated the welcome letter that Wade provided, especially the information on boat trailer storage since we brought our own boat. The location was great as we were in a quiet, peaceful area but also about 5 minutes from groceries and restaurants. We highly recommend this condo to anyone who is looking for a truly exceptional stay at Smith Mountain Lake.

Beautifully furnished lakeside townhome

This was our first time staying in a VRBO. We were coming from Minnesota to attend our son’s college graduation. and this house was a very pleasant surprise. Furnished beautifully, spotless throughout and thoughtful details from the owner. Communication was easy. House was intimate and we had plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Upon arrival snacks, condiments and other goodies greeted us. It is obvious that the owners take great pride in their home as well as their guests. We felt well taken care of. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Wish we would have had more time to really enjoy it.

Wonderful townhome on a quiet part of the lake

Wade's townhome is well-equipped, clean, and comfortable. Everything was as described, and communication was excellent both before our arrival and during our stay. We had a little hiccup with the key lockbox that Wade helped remedy immediately. We took full advantage of the townhome's dock and Wade's kayaks. We went out twice during our short stay, and had a wonderful time. The unit is in a part of the lake that is a bit away from the busier portions, so it is pretty serene right outside the unit. The bed was comfy, the bathrooms were clean, the TV and WI-FI worked, lots of board games and puzzles around if you need some non-technology entertainment, and you are located 2 miles from a grocery store and other shopping areas. Don't know what else we could ask for, and we would stay again.

Lovely place

This is a lovely end townhouse unit on the water. The neighborhood is very nice, and the area wasn’t busy since the weather was chilly. The host was an excellent communicator and answered questions quickly. With that said, I have 2 complaints. The first deals with having to wash all of the dishes we used and put them away prior to leaving. How does the host know we cleaned them? How do we know the person before us did? Apparently this is due to Covid, but it makes absolutely no sense. It seems like the cleaning person would be able to handle that better than the visitors. We also thought the fact that we had to take the trash with us was a bit much. We paid a cleaning fee, and this was not a cheap stay. The additional insurance we had to pay for was also something we hadn’t expected. All in all, it was a lovely place, and we enjoyed our stay, but I don’t know that we would do it again because of all the excessive fees, and the fact that we had to clean the place like it was our own home.

Lake Life

This was a great change of scene and pace for us. The location was wonderful and tranquil. The property was well maintained and a welcoming bottle of Sangria greeted us! Nice touch! A good starter set of condiments, cleaning supply and a well stocked kitchen made move in easy. We had two on crutches, so the stairs were a bit daunting but they were good sports about it. A morning heron, and hummingbirds provided entertainment at breakfast, and the on site kayaks made it easy to get out on the lake. Owners were responsive and take pride in this home. We would return again, and recommend to others!

"An excellent place for R"

Look no further for an excellent place to relax! This well-appointed and meticulously maintained property is an extension of the natural environment created by an isolated point in a quiet mountain cove. The seamless view from the balconies, upper dock, or screened-in back porch is restful, restorative, and refreshing but within a stone's throw of restaurants and recreation.
