Welcome to The Inner Banks at SML! Relax and unwind in this modern lakefront home. If you have been looking for the perfect vacation rental at Smith Mountain Lake, then you are in luck. This chalet has it all - 180-degree wide water views, large wraparound porches, a grand primary bedroom with a private deck, and access to a massive dock with a lakeside bar.

On the main level, you have lake views for days. Without a doubt, the best feature of this home is the entire lake side being lined with sliding glass doors leading out to the wraparound porch. The A-frame windows are a stunning touch to this contemporary lake home and provide maximum natural light all throughout. The kitchen is equipped with everything you would need to make your home-away-from-home feel complete. Cook and enjoy all of your meals in the kitchen, featuring beautiful stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar that faces the lake. The dining room table is surrounded by sliding glass doors and lake views, making every seat in the house the ultimate dining experience. The spacious living room provides lake views from every angle, a TV, and a large sectional with plenty of seating for the whole group. To round off the main level, you have two guest bedrooms, a full-size bathroom with a standalone shower, and a laundry room.

Head upstairs to the romantic grand primary suite - it will be hard getting out of bed in the mornings when you wake up to the views from up here! Enjoy your coffee, wine, and loved ones on your large private deck that extends the entire length of the upstairs. In the evenings, you can watch TV or stargaze right from bed. The large en suite bathroom features a standalone shower, and a double vanity.

The large wraparound deck surrounds the house and is truly just steps away from the water's edge. There are multiple chairs and a table for relaxing and outdoor dining. Your vacation won't be complete until you dine alfresco and watch the sun sink down low!

WHAT’S NEARBY
The Inner Banks property is in a private community, which provides you access to the massive shared community dock located only steps away from the house with a floating dock to swim off of and an amazing lakeside bar! A community beach is also right beside the entrance to the house - great for the little ones to wade in the water.

New address change made night time check in tricky

They recently changed the address of this place and it was not updated on the check instructions so check in at night time was a nightmare because the house numbers did not match the address we had. We enjoyed the house once in it and had a very relaxing time.

Beautiful scenery

The view was amazing. Seeing the lake cloud up in the morning sun and the fish nipping at the top of the water, even leaping out, to grab that morning snack was simply amazing.

Great quiet spot on the lake

This is a great spot on the lake-- close to the water and community dock access make it as if you are right on the water. The house has amazing views and lots of open space.

A great get away!

The property was a great waterfront, scenic property. It provided great amenities with the community dock and small beach launch area for our kayaks. The interior of the house was spacious and had plenty of room. The fully equipped kitchen was a plus. We never had to leave the property once we were there. The only negatives was that the sheets weren't changed in one of the bedrooms from a previous guest and the Master Bedroom air conditioning was not working.

Nice home, great shared dock.

Great location. Feels very remote but not far from restaurants, marinas and grocery stores. House was well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Dock is close and easy to access from the home. It is a shared dock but we didn’t see anyone else during our stay. Homeowners aren’t responsible for maintaining the dock and it was full of trash and wasps nests when we arrived. After a cleaning, it was a wonderful place to fish, swim, kayak and paddle board. We had a great week at the lake.

Peaceful and Cozy

The view is absolutely gorgeous and the atmosphere peaceful and relaxing. Even though November is a bit chilly, there was enough warmth during the day to enjoy boating. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. We were a bit disappointed that we couldn’t use the grill as there was no tank.

Awesome location

The property is wonderful! We are satisfied with the amenities. The house is very clean. The neighborhood is quiet. The only downside is the Wi-Fi. It tends to slow sometimes. Overall, I would recommend this property and we will keep this in mind in the future.

Never made it

Due the hurricane and flooding we were unable to make the trip. We had asked if we could move the week to another open week but was turned down. Not the kind of response I was expecting considering the weather and road conditions. Choose not to put my family in danger.

Good country location. Plenty of room to roam. Like the dock being there as I was able to dock my boat right at the house. Would be a nice addition to add a fish cleaning station. Overall we had a good time.

Great view of lake outside and inside.

Nice house. Long walk to front door for elderly. One bedroom upstairs very nice but warm, not enough countertop space in bathroom. Small shower hard to enter and exit. Kitchen nice and well stocked. Great wraparound porch. Bedrooms downstairs very small, no closet in one. Huge house but space not well utilized .

Ok but could us some attention

Worked fine for our stay however a couple of things could be improved. Outside area needed to be cleaned upon arrival. Cushions were dirty and not in the chairs. Cobwebs around the walking area of the deck. No reason for this if someone comes to the home and sets it up prior to arrival. Long walk from parking area. It would be nice to have a cart in the home for guests to use. Internet is too slow using old Hughesnet satellite. Suggest upgrading to Starlink.

Great views but a little TLC needed

This house sits on an amazing lake setting. My friends and I enjoyed the beautiful views with morning coffee and evening dinners. The house is sparsely decorated (no problem) and had everything needed for cooking. The VACASA team was exceptional - had to call them twice. The owner needs to do something about the jacuzzi (it was out of order) and the sliding doors and screens. The doors are hard to open and several are completely missing screens. Having fresh air is important and we had difficulty with this during our stay.

New neighbor hood wrong address 510 not 550 the surrounding area was very disappointing. The dock the bar everything was very dirty, broken sliding door screens or broken. Very worn inside. Kitchen was very nice. The view was great. That’s why I gave it a four instructions on how to use the upstairs. AC unit would’ve been helpful. It’s very hot upstairs. Need to change the glass upstairs.

Quietness, relaxing and cozy ☺️

Surprised my fiancé for his birthday and stayed at this little weekend retreat getaway which we both enjoyed! Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to cook with and the scenery was beautiful 😍 windows everywhere made for amazing mornings watching the sunrise 🌅 my only gripe was that since it was his birthday weekend we were there to relax and not be in a rush to do anything since we don’t vacation much, I had asked the manager if we can do a late check out on our last day and was denied several times , Check out was 10am, we wanted to make breakfast, Sit outside and enjoy the sunshine and maybe sleep in alittle, we were asking to check out at noon or the very least 11am. Even hotels let you stay till noon or 1pm…idk, this was the only issue considering the drive, the short time we had there for his birthday and money spent to rent this house. The owner should really reconsider changing check out times and give someone the option to have or have a late check out time if asked.
