About this property

Cabin#3 Smith Mtn Lake. Views/Waterfront/Pet Free/No wake cove/Dock

If you are looking for a perfect getaway, Cedar Key, a secluded no-wake cove on Smith Mountain Lake is the place. The one-mile tree-lined drive from the entrance to our quiet cul-de-sac starts your relaxing journey. After arriving, relax on the deck and enjoy the splendid views of lake and undeveloped mountains.

The no-wake area excludes heavy boat traffic and noisy jet skis and provides a peaceful feeling and safe swimming space, somewhat rare on the lake. Cedar Key is part of a small rustic community consisting of 10 similar cabins. We share a dock with the next-door cabin for swimming, fishing, picnicking, and boating.

For those sensitive to pet odors, smoke, etc., our Cabin is pet-free and smoke-free. Occupancy is limited to 4 guests.

The Cabin is in excellent condition with hardwood floors, full size appliances, and satellite smart TV. There is central air and heat with ceiling fans throughout, free WIFI internet access, DVD and VCR with lots of movies. The furnishings are comfortable with a reclining couch and reclining chair and rocker. The kitchen is fully furnished with full sized appliances. There is an outdoor charcoal grill on the deck with outdoor table and chairs.

The Cabin has two bedrooms (one queen bed, and two twins) and one full bathroom with shower/tub. The main bedroom has a sliding glass door which provides beautiful views and access to the large deck that extends the length of the Cabin. The living area also has large sliding glass door that provides beautiful lake views and access to the large deck. The views are of undeveloped wooded mountains and lake.

Smith Mountain Lake is a boater's and fisherman's paradise. There are 500 miles of shoreline on this 40 mile long, 20,000 acre lake. If you have your own boat, you can launch it at nearby Mitchell’s Point Marina and dock it at the Cabin's dock. Boat rentals and wave runners are available at several lake locations. From our location it is about 1000 feet to the main channel of the lake. For the fisherman, we are located on Witcher Creek where the stripers spawn. The lake is stocked with bass, muskies, northern pike, and other small game fish.

If you just like relaxing and nature, there is plenty of wildlife in surrounding woods. Hiking is available along our lightly traveled one mile entrance road. Nearby Smith Mountain State Park includes hiking trails and a sandy beach for younger visitors. Golf is available at nearby Mariners Landing. A number of wineries and restaurants are within 20 minutes.

Guests must bring their own linens & towels. You will need linens & pillowcases for the queen bed and two twins and whatever towels you require for your use. We furnish blankets, bedspreads, pillows, and all bath & kitchen paper supplies and soaps.
Please contact us if you require linens & towels for an additional $90 fee.

Lakefront Cabin Getaway
My wife & I booked this cabin as a getaway from the city & it was incredible. The views were beautiful & the cabin was so cozy! We loved watching VHS tapes on the VCR as a throwback to our childhood. We would 100% stay here again. The owners were generous & great to work with.

Tranquil
This cabin has that cozy atmosphere that we were hoping for. The view from the living room window is just beautiful. We were there the week after Christmas, so there were not many other vacationers, but that is what we were looking for. If I had a complaint, it would be thatthete is no dishwasher, but that is not abig inconvenience for me. I'm pretty sure that we will be back next Christmas.

We Had A Wonderful Time and Will Definitely Be Coming Back!!!!
The property is beautifully maintained and the owners were so helpful and friendly. They reached out to us weeks prior to our stay to introduce themselves and talk to us about the property, special requests, and recommendations for the closest marina that rents fishing boats. This property has been taken care of very well

Exceptional Getaway!
Stayed here with three friends for a quiet bachelorette celebration. Could not have asked for me! Access to the grill made dinner easy and fun. There is a walkway straight down to the lake. The cabin itself was exceptionally neat, organized, and absolutely adorable. Communication with the hosts was stellar!! Could not have asked for a more relaxing getaway.

Great stay in a lovely cabin
We had a wonderful stay in this cabin. Very comfortable, clean, great views, quiet area, beautiful lake. Owners were very communicative and accommodating. We are sensitive to pet hair & other allergens, and this was a perfect place for us, including well-dusted. Very reasonable check-out duties. This was our first visit to Smith Mountain Lake and we loved it. We didn't rent a boat this time, but we'd like do that next time, and explore more of the lake. We would stay in this cabin again for sure -- it was beautifully out of the way of crowds, buildings, etc. Totally worth the 20ish min drive to most "stuff" in the area. We were there from a Mon-Fri, and we were surprised by how many area restaurants (and a boat tour place) were closed for most of the week, only opening on Thurs night or so. It must have to do with their flow of business, even in the middle of summer. We did eat at nearby Mitchell's landing and the food was OK, the view was nice, and the ice cream was great. We also went to the arcade and gift shop area in West Lake - that was fun. The highlight of our trip was going down to our cabin's dock every day, where our son fished off the edge. He had a blast catching and releasing lots of little fish. And on our last night, the clouds gave us a pretty good sunset -- you can't exactly see it from the cabin or dock, but you can see the sky changing, and we walked a little way around the bend, for an even better view of the sky. Thanks for an amazing stay!

Great Getaway for a Long Weekend
I booked a lake getaway for me and my wife in a very quiet cove at Smith Mountain Lake. From the time of booking through our check-out, the Owner/Host provided excellent communication and details. The cabin was perfect. The dock was exceptional. We brought fishing kayaks and had a great time in the no-wake cove. Good shopping and other amenities were close. Highly recommended.

Most wonderful anniversary get away
This property was absolutely perfect. Every little detail was obviously attended to and absolutely nothing was overlooked. The owners were wonderful to talk with and quick to respond. A perfect location right by the lake with a dock made this anniversary trip just perfect. We spent our days fishing on the dock, grilling out and enjoying the stunning area. We will absolutely return and will recommend this accommodation to everyone! Thank you again for the perfect get away!

Perfect Retreat!!!
What a beautiful place!!! I am a pastor and my wife and I just wanted some time away for the business of life in Philadelphia and all that happens with ministry in a busy urban context. This cabin in the beautiful setting was everything we could have hoped for. From the second we opened the door and smelled the beautiful log cabin smell, to looking out over the lake from the windows, this cabin was everything we hoped for. We would love to go back for another retreat either later this year or next year. If you want a beautiful place to reflect and retreat this is it!

About the host

Hosted by Ken Scheve

Host profile image
I purchased the Cabin when I lived and worked in Roanoke. The kids spent many happy days here. I moved in 1992 and currently live in Colorado. The kids have also moved. Due to the distance we seldom get there anymore, although my son and grandsons are now vacationing there annually from their home in Idaho. We have chosen not to rent the cabin until recently when the realization set in that it will be seldom used by us in the future. I plan to keep the cabin and pass it on to my son and recently decided to start renting it. I think you will find it extremely comfortable as it has been furnished and maintained for our personal use. The Cabin is named Lake-Fest in honor of my daughter and her annual event that she held here while attending Virginia Tech.

Why they chose this property

I bought this Cabin as a weekend retreat from work in nearby Roanoke. The peaceful location on the lake in the no wake zone with the beautiful undeveloped mountain views was ideal for re-energizing after each busy work week.

What makes this property unique

Isolated portion of lake near Smith Mountain Lake Park. You will not find a more secluded area of the lake (but readily accessible) with better uncluttered views. The Cabin feel is distinctly different from a house and provides a true vacation feeling.
