Awesome experience
Perfect for spending time with friends in a comfortable and relaxing setting. It’s a spacious kitchen, dining, living room with plenty of seating. Right on the lake, we ate meals on the deck too. We’d stay there again if in the area.

The property is amazing! It could not be closer to the lake and has a dock available. The location is within easy walking distance of a great restaurant, boat rentals and the community pool. The rooms are very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped with everything you will need. We look forward to returning for a longer stay!

We love Peaceful Haven!
This is our third stay at Peaceful Haven and it just gets better every year! The remodeling that has been done is stunning! There is plenty of room for a family to spread out. The lake views are gorgeous, the little beach is so convenient and the kayaks/SUP are great for touring the lake. We have already booked our stay for next year!

Wonderful Week
Waterfront with Mountain View - we woke up every morning in awe of being able to drink our coffee in the back deck and take in the beautiful scenery. We swam in the lake every day and used the provided water toys. Our toddlers loved being able to walk right in to the water. The home was fully accommodating in terms of layout and supplies. We can’t wait to come back!

Peaceful Haven
Peaceful Haven was heavenly for our extended family of 10 ranging in age from 8 months to 65 years! Even better than we anticipated! House was spacious and had everything we needed and then some! Top & bottom decks afforded lovely views of the lake and mountains! Sandy beach was just steps away and convenient boat rental around the cove. Owners are very responsive to any questions/issues that arise! Stay here to make family memories you will treasure for a lifetime!

Absolute best on SML
This property is AMAZING! There are just not enough words to explain how much we loved it. It was exceptional - from the location to the decor to the well stocked kitchen. May checked in regularly to make sure everything was going well. We have stayed at SML several years in the past and this was by far the best property. Bernard's is our favorite location and this is the most beautiful home we've stayed in at Bernard's. I am incredibly particular about cleanliness and I can say that there was not one crumb or dirty spot on any of the 3 floors. If you've never been to Bernard's Landing, this is a prime location. The view is unbeatable and the beach area right outside was a perfect spot for our kids. There were 10 of us (6 adults and 4 kids ages 6-17) and every one of us had a great time. The rooms are perfectly appointed and it worked well for our 3 family units. We can't wait to come back and enjoy Peaceful Haven next year!

Absolutely the BEST Rental
We absolutely loved our stay here. This is by far the nicest rental home we’ve ever stayed in. Gorgeous house with phenomenal views of the lake. We cooked every night, so we really appreciated the awesome kitchen which is fully stocked. Toddler loved the little beach just behind the house and we played on it every single day. Since we were here in the fall, we took advantage of the gym, playground, and indoor pool, all part of the community access amenities. May was a phenomenal host and great to work with. She helped make our stay perfect. Wouldn’t hesitate to return here again. Thanks for a great stay!!

Absolutely Amazing!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
We had the most amazing time staying here! Great location to the pool and boat rental. This place is absolutely beautiful and even nicer than the pictures in our opinion. The upstairs rooms have their own AC which was an extra plus! The owner (May) was fantastic and so quick with responding. She was so helpful, extremely nice and even gave us a call to talk through some things. We would 100% recommend staying here and the lake was great (not too busy either)! We will be back Virginia :)

Awesome location on a beautiful lake
This place was fantastic, couldn't beat the location. The place was clean and beautiful. There is a sandy beach and a boat dock steps away from the rear slider, excellent views of the main part of the lake and mountains. The lake is beautiful with a lot of coves and islands to explore I would definitely stay again.

Family fun at Peaceful Haven!
We had a wonderful time at Smith Mountain Lake. It was our first visit to the area. The views from the home were amazing! Our grandkids were 1, 2 and 3 and the beach was a great option for them. We also rented a boat that we kept at the dock there so we ventured out into the different coves and pirate islands as my granddaughter called them. The water was beautiful and clean and we had most of the beach to ourselves during our stay. There wasn’t one item in the kitchen that you couldn’t ask for. Well stocked very clean… Everything was perfect :-)

Beautiful home at a beautiful location
The home was perfect for our needs. We had 6 adults and 4 kids and we never felt on top of each other. The house was clean and had everything we needed and then some. Best stocked kitchen I’ve seen with plenty of pots, pans, utensils, seasonings, and so on. The location is perfect and easy to get down to the water where there is a small beach and docks which we used for our boat rental. The views out the back are some of the best the lake has to offer. Highly recommend staying here and we hope to go back in the future.

Amazing Smith Mountain Rental
We had a fantastic experience at this rental property. The townhome is in a perfect location on the lake and the view of the mountains and lake is breathtaking. The townhome is beautifully remodeled with an amazing gourmet kitchen with every pot, pan, and utensil you could need. The rooms are tastefully decorated with everything that you could need and the beds are very comfortable. The outdoor porches provide a beautiful view of the lake and have plenty of outdoor space and comfortable furniture. The location on the sandy beach is perfect for swimming and the multiple docks in front of the unit are perfect for easily getting in and out if you rent a boat during your stay. Our entire family ages 11-67 thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks and stand up paddle boards as well. The property manager is excellent and quick with her communication and responded immediately to any questions that we had. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay at Smith Mountain Lake.

About the host

Hosted by May Manhoff

Host profile image
Being married for over 20 years, my husband and I have traveled to many different parts of the world and have enjoyed amazing experiences from different foods, to cultures, people and sites.

After starting a family and as the children grew to school age, we pretty much have to change the way we travel for vacation. We still try to take them somewhere outside of the country as much as we could to experience diverse foods and cultures but for short vacations, we decided to stay at local sites that are easy to drive to. A place to go to during the children’s short school breaks and still have a wonderful time while not having to driver there forever.

Living in Northern Virginia, we have so many beautiful places to choose from within driving distance. From the mountains, lakes, golf courses, the bay, the beaches and wineries, there is always something for each member of the family to enjoy.

My husband enjoys boating and my children enjoys anything that involves water. We have heard so much about Smith Mountain Lake and we decided to check it out. To our surprise, the lake has everything for everyone in the family to enjoy. Now my kids can't wait to go there whenever we can. Coming from Norther Virginia, it still take us between 4.5 to 5 hours to drive but the extra hour or two drive are well worth it when you get there.

Why they chose this property

This home is probably one of the nicest and largest unit for rent at Bernard's Landing with almost 3200 sq. ft of living space. It is unique because of its open floor plan and the panoramic view of the lake and the mountains from many parts of the home. The boat docks and a small beach are just steps away from the backyard so we don't have to go far to have fun and enjoy the lake.

This was the very first home we saw at Smith Mountain Lake and we didn't want to see any others after seeing it. We knew this is the home for us when my husband and I saw our twins sitting on the swing staring at the lake unmoved and just mesmerized by the gorgeous views. When we told them it's time to go to see another house, both of them said "No, this is our home."

What makes this property unique

You can sit on the swing by the lower deck all day and be mesmerized by the nature’s beauty surrounding you. An occasional visit from local blue bird is always a possibility since it also has a "lake home" next to the swing.

Waking up in the morning with your cup of coffee seeing the lake so calm much like looking at a glass with the mountain reflecting to it is just a soothing sight.

The panoramic views of the lake and mountains are just magnificent and breathtaking. Depending on the time or day of the year, the view is constantly changing from the clouds forming and draping the mountains, rain coming from one side of the lake to the other and more often than not, you will see the biggest rainbow across the lake that would linger for quite some time.

You'll see family having a great time tubing, fishing, boating or just simply having fun with their family and friends cruising the lake. It is never a dull moment while sitting on the deck watching the water.

Watching the sun rises in between the V area of the mountain where the damn is quite a site. The moonlight reflecting on the lake with its flickering lights will just make you want to stay out on your deck and watch it all night.

But one of the best part is, you do not have to go anywhere to see the fireworks for the 4th of July. Just have your friends and family over, take your drink, grab your seat on your back deck and enjoy the show!
