The main living area boasts a 25' high ceiling with views directly to the lake. There are two fully stocked full kitchens (one upstairs, one downstairs) giving great flexibility for mass cooking and/or separate hanging out. The two refrigerators with a 3rd freezer in the garage gives ample room for groceries. Covered morning room offers full lake view for early morning coffee, or for large seating meals. Unique bunk bed rooms gives special memory to younger guests, with additional play spaces for little ones. The lower level has a large couch designed for multiple seating for movie watching, etc., and can also be used for an extra sleep space.

The property has a very gentle slope to the water/dock, as well as multiple gas outdoor fire pits, and large Solo Stove smokeless wood burning fire pit. Amenities include Hot Tub , Kayaks and Bikes, 9' Shuffleboard Table and full size Air Hockey, as well as small Ping Pong table and multiple Board Games for all to enjoy!

All paper products supplied for your stay. Towels and Linens are supplied free, however, you must bring YOUR OWN towel for outside use at the beach, hot tub, etc.

If you want lots of spaces in which to escape, as well as very comfortable space for large gatherings, along with unique features that will yield definitive lasting memories, come let Ascension ‘lift you away.’ :-) Note: 7 NIGHT MINIMUM STAY (1 June - 6 September)

Smith Mountain Lake rental

The house is beautiful and very well Maintained. House has a great location on the lake and the dock area has plenty of chairs, tables and lounge chairs as well. Lots of decks around the house all well furnished. Hosts are great to work with and they want to make sure the guests feel right at home. This was our second year of renting this home and glad we returned.

Wonderful Stay on the Lake

We had a fantastic visit. The house was wonderful. We wanted to have a fun house in case of bad weather and this was perfect. Luckily, we had great weather and were able to take advantage of the beautiful backyard and dock. The hosts were accommodating of our group and were very prompt in all of our communications. I would absolutely recommend this house and the hosts to anyone!

Excellence on SML!

The Ascension on the Lake far exceeded our expectations! The house is tastefully decorated. The kitchen was amply supplied. There were a plethora of games in the home and lots of flotation devices/kayaks/paddle boards. One thing we especially liked was the quiet cove it is on. A definite plan to return! Highly recommend!

Beautiful, thoughtful home

Incredible open-communication with hosts that very clearly care deeply for their home. Family friendly home with ample hangout areas (especially the lower level with sectional couch, loads of dvds and a well stocked popcorn machine). The kitchen is well equipped (and labeled!). Our family enjoyed our stay and plan to stay there again next year if we can!

Yearly Family Vacay

From start to finish this has been one of the best trips we’ve had. Owners are top notch and wonderful to work with. The house is absolutely stunning with amazing views and so many amenities! Our small children had the best time playing games, watching movies, making popcorn, fishing and paddle boarding. We can’t say enough about how truly wonderful this place was. We can’t wait to do it all over again next year.

Perfect place for extended family stay!

Tim and Michelle were very communicative, available and accommodating. We were shockingly surprised by the amenities. We brought more than we needed thinking we might not have certain items. They had everything you could think of and more! Perfect set up for a great large family vacation. We would definitely consider this property for future family vacations.
