Holiday Getaway
We loved being directly on the water! And while I’m not a “morning person” I would wake up each morning to watch the most amazing sunrises and watch the parade of deer and squirrels around the house. Very relaxing and confirmed my goal of lakeside living!

Stunning lake views
Our family had a lovely and relaxing time in this beautiful cabin. The cabin is designed to provide the best view of the lake. We loved waking up to a picture window filled with a lake sunrise each morning.

Beautiful sunrises
This rustic and comfortable cabin has a beautiful lake lot offering amazing sunrise views. We were there in chilly temps and enjoyed coffee on the deck with blankets but in a warmer season the lake would be calling!

Lovely getaway with a view
We have such a nice stay! The cabin was large and comfortable, but cozy at the same time. The view from porch and hot tub were awesome. Close to the state park for short hikes. We will be back.

Cozy Cabin on Smith Mountain Lake
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Very cozy and comfortable. We had a minor issue with the heat that was taken care of very promptly. The fireplace is electric, but adds to the ambiance. The sunrise view is spectacular.

Always our favorite
This is our third time staying here and we’ve already booked our next trip. Smith Mountain Lake has become a special place for our family and this home is a huge part of that. The views from the house and porch are amazing. The house is very clean and well stocked with everything you need to cook and keep busy. There’s a collection of books, DVDs and games which we always enjoy. Great dock to tie up your boat! My son never wants to leave he loves it at the cabin so much and so do we!

Fantastic cabin
It was an extremely comfortable 5* cabin. Husband caught 2 catfish tho he was trying to catch carp 😂 Unfortunately, we had to leave a day earlier as ‘Helena’ was threatening our journey home to Tennessee. Thankfully we made it before Helena struck. Would certainly book again with better weather.

Unwind and Reset
My boys and I had an amazing week. The opportunity to unwind and relax on the decks and in the water was just what this momma needed! My boys enjoyed fishing and kayaking. Sunsets in the hot tub where a favorite of all of us. I do think I will budget for a boat for future visits! The cabin was just as described and fit the three of us perfectly! I loved the notes and instructions so nothing was a question! We had a perfect get away!!!

Family Vacation
We had a wonderful family vacation. There was always something to keep us busy. If the sun was shining we were in the lake. If it was raining, we were watching movies or playing pool. The sunrises were amazing to watch from the large covered porch! We rented a boat for part of the week and that was conveniently close by. The fishing was great and we caught a variety of fish! We appreciated the notes left so we knew how to use everything and knew where everything was.

Nature’s Retreat
We had an amazing time at the log cabin. Some of the things we enjoyed were swinging on the porch swing after dinner, swimming, and walking the surrounding area with our dog. We saw lots of deer, and bunnies and we had a heron at sunset most nights on the dock. A humming bird came by one afternoon and just visited in front of the living room picture window. We were able to view the sunrise from our bedroom picture window. We rented a boat for several days and explored the beautiful lake! Our experience was excellent and we hope to be back next year!

2 million dollar view
4th year now in a row now visiting SML. 1st time at this property. I towed my 25’ boat and small family 250 miles south down I-81. Awesome vacation, not primitive but practical. Everything we needed. The view from the house, dock, master is a 2 million dollar view. If you don’t like squirrels, deer, acorns falling on the roof, please head to Roanoke and check in to the holiday inn! Had a few questions for the owners and I was answered and satisfied upon check in.

Immediate lake access and incredible views
A wonderful stay at a rustic lake cabin. Pictures and description were accurate although not as spacious for the dogs to run as we imagined. Lake is right there for your enjoyment- swimming, fishing, paddling, or boating. If you want to spend anytime on the sun deck, do bring your Dramamine if you get motion sickness,” it rocks with the waves! Overall an incredible getaway and can’t wait to return!

We had a pleasant little getaway and Log Haven was a very nice choice. It’s cozy and perfect for 2 to 3 people, lots of wildlife and an osprey nest nearby and it was fun to watch that giant bird catch fish all day long.
