Great house
One of the best houses we have ever rented. The lake was clean and not very crowded. The marina nearby gave great service when we rented a boat and a jet ski.

Beautiful home and getaway
House was beautiful and clean. Everything possibly needed was provided and the beautiful sunroom was a favorite amongst our group. We had easy communication and quick responses from host. We really enjoyed the Cadillac of all docks. It was beautiful and comfortable and provided anything one might need to relax and enjoy the beautiful view in front of them. I have stayed at Smith Mtn lake for over 40 years and have never come across a dock like this one! Thanks and we will definitely book again.

Excellent Stay in SML
Our family has enjoyed Smith Mountain Lake for a number of years. This property was exceptional - clean, well furnished, and stocked with everything you need for vacation. The house was great - we really enjoyed the screened-in porch, fire pit, and the boat dock. The kids particularly enjoyed the separate bunk house to hang out as well. Kurt was super receptive to any questions and we'd recommend to any family looking to explore/enjoy SML.

Beautiful and relaxing lake home
We had a fantastic time at Kurt and Nancy's gorgeous lake home. This is one of the nicer VRBO rentals we have stayed in. Super clean, comfy beds, kitchen was very well equipped, amazing screened in patio overlooking the lake, and a fantastic dock to hang out. Very close to Smith Mountain Lake for nice hiking! We highly recommend staying here.

New favorite at SML
We've been coming to SML for 20 years - the place on Surrey Dr far exceeded our expectations and will become our new go-to for renting on the waterfront. The house was new, so clean and just fantastic! Great floor plan for two couples with room to spare, kitchen was well stocked and appointed, tons of extras for cooking that most rentals don't think of. Cleanest grill on the lake, in my opinion. The screened in porch, the gas fire pit and the stone paths - wonderful outdoor experience. Now the dock - best one we've lounged on as far as space and layout - plenty of room to move around, stretch out and enjoy the view of a very quiet and protected cove. The floating dock was well-positioned - our boat was safe the entire stay. The dock also a full-sized fridge w/freezer. Rent this place for your next stay - you won't regret it!

Great Family Vacation
This was a great vacation for us, our adult children and their significant others. The kitchen is fully equipped and ready for you. Having the sheet and towels provided was really helpful. The screened in porch was a great place to start our day with coffee and a good book. We will definitely be back :-)

Nice stay
Great house. Great Dock. Great patio. Great fire pit. Had two stand up paddle boards, two kayaks and a really nice blow up with two benches. Bar on the dock with fridge was convenient. Rented a pontoon and fit nicely on the side of the dock. Morning coffee on the screen porch was nice.

Celebrating graduation
We rented Nancy and Kurt's home to celebrate my husbands graduation. Their home is absolutely lovely. The dock with outdoor bar was perfect for entertaining our large group. Each night we used the outdoor dining table and grill for dinner with a beautiful view of the lake. Outdoor gas fire pit kept us warm once the sun went down. The kitchen has everything you could/would need. It was a great space for us!

Pier Paradise
The house and location was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked and the center piece of the house. The dock was large and we enjoyed the view of the lake from the comfortable sectional furniture. We also enjoyed watching college football on the 70 inch TV in the rec room downstairs. The screened-in porch afforded us a view of the lake and the beautiful fall foliage. We will be back.

Wow Pier Paradise is a little bit of heaven on earth.
We recently stayed at Pier Paradise and all I can say is we didn’t want to leave. This home is stunning and the owners attention to detail is outstanding. Our children loved jumping off the dock into the lake and paddle boarding. We hired a boat for the day which is a must to see the beauty of this incredible lake. The home has everything you need for a perfect vacation with a kitchen that is fully equipped so you want for nothing. We had a few BBQs and even tho it was very hot had a night around the fire pit which is fantastic. Beds are lovely and comfortable, property was very clean and smelled divine. Kurt and Nancy are amazing hosts and are there to help you if you need anything. We had an amazing week here and was very sad to leave. Made some lovely family memories and we hope to return one day. Thank you for making our holiday so pleasurable. The Coxs. From the UK.
