Weekend getaway

We met our military daughter halfway from base. It was her 21st birthday and she will be deploying shortly so she wanted a quiet weekend getaway with water activities and bonfire. This house had everything we wanted. It was perfect for our stay. The only complaint we had was there wasn't any fish the owners are absolutely wonderful!!!

Awesome time!

When we arrived at Ramsey's Retreat and walked in the door, our eyes were drawn to the wall of windows overlooking the beauty of the lake. We had about a day or so of rain, but were able to enjoy the activities in the basement (darts, mini golf pad and ping pong). We also appreciated the quiet cove for kayaking. We were grateful the house was equipped with towels/linens and household items. The surroundings were tranquil and we enjoyed watching the deer, squirrels and birds. We are already looking forward to our next trip back!

No need to leave vacation spot!

This was a wonderful property. So much to do for the kids, and a relaxing place for adults. The beach and boats were a lot of fun. We also loved the back patio overlooking the lake.

Beautiful Lake Front Home

A beautiful home nestled in a quiet cove. We had a very comfortable stay while enjoying the lake by day and the fire pit at night. The owners are always available if needed. We have rented two years in a row and plan on renting again for next Summer!

Comfortable home with beautiful views

The lake access was unsurpassed. We loved the dock, the floating dock, the paddle boat and the two kayaks. We even got to use the firepit even though it was a hot weekend. The home was beautiful and comfortable. Love the different sections of the home so that different family groups had their own section and a little privacy. Thanks for a lovely visit.

Geniale Lage, alles vorhanden

Haus lässt keine Wünsche offen! Eins der Doppelzimmer liegt etwas abseits im Keller, das Kinderzimmer im OG, leider ohne Bad, aber uns hat das nicht weiter gestört! Unsere Kinder haben die Kajaks und das Tretboot vor Ort sehr gut genutzt und sehr glücklich gemacht…!

Beautiful Retreat

The Ramsey retreat was a hidden gem that we were so blessed to stay at. We were attending a college graduation and found this sweet place. The owners are super helpful and thoughtful. The place is immaculate, homey, and so peaceful. The location was perfect for us. We will definitely be back. We can't wait! Thank you for sharing you special retreat with us.

Great Lake, Great Retreat

When we first pulled into the driveway we were greeted by not one or two but seven deer grazing on the property. This told us everything we needed to know about the property. Peace and quiet, beautiful views, close enough to the lake we could hear the fish jumping. Open concept layout allowed everyone in our party to be comfortable but close enough to be included. Very clean, nicely furnished we thoroughly enjoyed our week there. Close enough to everything we wished to do without driving half a day. A 5 star accommodation in our opinion! Thank you Ramseys!

Located in a quiet no-wake cove making the lake very good for swimming. The house is in a very quiet off the beat location. The street through the neighborhood is bike friendly! Beautiful view! This was our second stay at the property and will book this location again in the future.

Great Place To Relax and Enjoy Family

Great place for a family vacation. Four generations were present for the week. Plenty of space for 7 adults and 3 children. Beautiful view of the lake from the large back porch and boat dock. Made use of kayaks and peddle boat provided and rented a pontoon boat which we kept at the private dock. State park was only 1 mile down the road and took advantage of bike trails. Members of the family said this would be a good choice for a repeat vacation. Ramsey Retreat for the win!

Quite

The place was very nice and clean. We would have liked a bigger TV and a path to the water as it was a long walk in the grass with a hill. The water was nice you could see the bottom. When we were there we wanted to fish off the dock but there was no fish around. The fire pit was great for s'mores. It was very peaceful because we were the last house. The kayaks were great and the peddle boat.

Girls’ Getaway

If you’re considering staying at this property, do it! It’s exactly as listed—-the view, the location, and the overall appearance of the home. It’s cozy yet spacious. And, spotless! Donna and John could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. The proximity to the state park was a big bonus for our group. We spent many hours hiking the beautiful, well marked trails. The park is a short drive or bike ride away. Mornings on the deck were the perfect start to our day. The fire pit by the lake was the perfect way to end a day. The nights got chilly during our week so we didn’t spend as much time by the fire pit as we would have liked. But day time time on the lake was just what we’d hoped. We brought our own stand up paddle boards and enjoyed the use of the paddle boat provided. The view from all of the beautiful windows facing the lake were just what we’d hoped. I only wish we had more time there. I am already anticipating our next visit!

Sweet Vacation

We had a fantastic time! The description of the location and its amenities were on the money. It was a clean and spacious home in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood with great views and a nice dock on the lake. We thoroughly enjoyed it. It's definitely one of the best places we have ever stayed at on a lake, particularly Smith Mountain Lake. We highly recommend this wonderful home, and we would definitely return again, especially since it created everlasting memories for us.

Beautiful Views

The property was great, settled back on a nice cove. Plenty of room to swim, float, paddle board, etc. You are quick water ride away from Mitchell’s Marina and a quick drive to the state park and grocery stores. The ping pong table ensured nightly fun. The house is spacious. We had 6 people (4 adults, 2 children) and we never felt like we were on top of each other/in each other’s way. The deck is wonderful to take in the beautiful scenery. Would definitely stay here again.
