Serene Vacation and Beautiful home

this is a beautiful home on Smith Mountain Lake. The home was clean, comfortable and well stocked. The walk down to the lake was good. The dock was nice. I love that they allow dogs. The bed and the master bedroom was very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful location

We loved the location of the house, lush nature, the lake view, the specious deck and the dock. It would be nice if there is a floating deck for getting in and out of the kayaks easier, but we made it work. We spent most of the time outside. My husband, a very tall men loved the big shower, I needed a little bit more lighting, I guess it comes with age. Overall, we enjoyed the place.

My husband, adult daughters and I had a wonderful stay at Gillum’s Getaway! The house was beautiful, spacious, and well equipped. If we weren’t on the lake, we were often on the back deck which overlooks the peaceful lake. We often spotted deer in the neighborhood! We weren’t there for the weekend, but our Sunday through Friday stay was amazing!

Beautiful and large, accommodating Lake house!

We had a wonderful time at this lake house with my family! The house had everything we needed and more. Really enjoyed the Jacuzzi tubs inside as well as the lake. The ladder from dock isn’t long enough, so can be a core challenge getting out of the water, if water level low. The power company regulates the level, so beyond owners control. The 2 level dock is amazing with both levels and such pretty sunset views. We loved Mitchell’s Marina w restaurant and live music only 2 miles away. Would love to come back to this house while we still can. Such a beautiful and peaceful setting. And the water is so clean, one can see 6 feet below.

SML Fun!

Another great stay! House is located on a quiet cove that is great for some fishing and dock chilling! The covered porch area provides a nice spot to relax even with a little rain. Hosts were wonderful and the house continues to be a great fit for our family! Looking forward to our next visit.

The house is beautiful. Everything you need to feel at home and be comfortable is there. The dock is a great place to sunbathe, swim or fish. The view is great. Nice, quiet neighborhood with deer grazing on the lawn. It was a great place for our family vacation.

The perfect house for our family!

The home was very spacious with everything we needed to have a great family vacation! Everything was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen also was well stocked with everything we needed, including a traditional coffee machine and Keurig. It was also nice to have a dock where we could store the boat we rented under cover. We just loved our week in this beautiful home. Thank you!

SML Getaway

Very nice home and dock at the lake with great views. Well stocked with everything we needed and lots of room! Family room furniture needs updating. One step on the way down to the dock with a hole in the corner is unsafe and needs replacement. The grill was hard to clean.

The perfect location for a fall getaway.

Fall at SML (Smith Mountain Lake) is amazing. Lots of hiking, history, wine tasting, brilliant sunsets and cozy evenings by the fire. This house provides access to all and more. It was the perfect launching pad for adventure and a welcome site at the end of a busy day. The cove is quiet (especially in fall).

Perfect house and location for relaxing

The house dock is a perfect place for sunning and relaxing. The beds we’re comfortable and the layout of the house gave everyone privacy. The rooms are large with a well stocked kitchen. The decks were great for morning coffee and dinner. Would definitely come back.

Annual Guy's weekend

Every year a group of friends from college get together for a long weekend at the beach. This year we decided to change it up and opted for a house on SML. We could not have been happier with our decision. The house, location and amenities were absolutely perfect for our group of 6 "40 somethings". We are likely to ditch the sand and salt for freshwater and luxury living for the foreseeable future.

Down time

We had a great week relaxing by the water, kayaking, fishing, floating on tibes, laying on the deck watching stars, and cooking out as a family. The house had everything we needed to do a whole lot of nothing. It was our second visit and we will be back.

Smith Mountain Lake!!!!

A much needed vacation. My group awarded me an A+ on my selection. The home owners deserve this as well. We also rented a pontoon boat which right down the street from the house. Highly recommend them as well. Kept it tied to the dock and the whole package is something we are already looking forward to doing again. Hopefully this will be available for our next trip.

Outstanding Location & Amenities

We've been traveling to Smith Mountain annually. This was the first time at this location and it was beautiful! We stayed outside mostly and took advantage of the kayaks that were provided. The kitchen had two refrigerators which was extremely helpful. The owner was always pleasant to work with. Our only wish was the picture with the grill was replaced with a picture of the flat top since there's not a true grill anymore. In addition, it would have been nice to have TV's in the two bedrooms upstairs. I get it that people are there to soak up the views and weather and we certainly did that.

About the host

Hosted by Don and Anita Gillum

Host profile image
My wife and I had this house custom built in 2007 with plans to retire here in the not too distant future. In the meantime, we rent it out year-round so that others can enjoy the lake as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This is an ideal property to rent because the slope to the water is not very steep and fairly easy to walk for older guests.
The location is on the lower end of the lake close to the Dam so the water is deep and clear.

What makes this property unique

We love the enormous amount of deck space that faces the lake. Two decks and a lower patio off of the rec room/ poolroom the has an HD flatscreen TV, exercise equipment, and a pool 9-foot regulation Brunswick pool table. There is a pub table for having drinks, playing cards or board games.
There is also a full length of the house front deck that catches all that beautiful morning sun.
