About this property

Secluded Waterfront Get Away on Smith Mountain Lake

Nestled in woods of Cedar Key on Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia, enjoy a tranquil escape with nature. No wake cove excludes heavy boat traffic and noisy jet skies and provides a relaxing time and safe opportunities for water activities such as swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding, somewhat rare on the lake. New floating dock provides some further privacy.

Nestled in the valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains of rural southern Virginia, this is the perfect destination whether you are looking for some "downtime" or fun outdoor activities. The one mile tree-lined drive from the entrance starts your relaxing journey. After arriving, relax on the deck and enjoy the splendid views of lake and undeveloped mountains then head for the water.

This smoke free two-bedroom/one-bath vacation rental is situated on the shores of beautiful Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia. It features comfortable accommodations and stunning wide-water and mountain views! Perfect for a family getaway, Cedar Key Cabin includes one queen-size bed, two twins, one full bathroom with shower/tub, a TV, DVD, DirectTV, internet access, central heating and air-conditioning, open beams, and hardwood floors. The home sleeps 4 persons comfortably. The great room looks out on beautiful lake views and has access to the large deck. The views are of undeveloped wooded mountains and lake. There's a deck with a charcoal grill and patio furniture. New -- now with private floating dock which is great for swimming and boating. Smith Mountain Lake is Virginia's most popular lake, Smith Mountain Lake, is a boater's and fisherman's paradise. It is Virginia's most popular lake and boasts 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 boat launch at Mitchell's Point Marina and dock it at the Cabin's dock. Boat rentals and wave runners are available at several lake locations. 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. For those enjoying water activities, the no wake cove is perfect for kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding.

Getaway on the Lake
A cozy place right on the Smith Mountain Lake. Well stocked and easy access. Amazing views and very peaceful. Close proximity to hiking spots and not far from Lynchburg and Roanoke. We hope to be back.

Cozy Cabin
Very cozy cabin! The kitchen has everything you could need. Suggestions are some room for food and repair of the front screen door. It doesn’t latch. Also the sliding glass door doesn’t lock. Thanks for putting the covers on the sofa! Great idea!! We also had an issue with stink bugs -maybe seasonal ??

Beautiful View
The cabin had everything you could need. The decor is quaint and neatly appointed. The queen bed is incredibly comfortable. The neighborhood is peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. We spent all day on the back deck marveling at the view of the lake and mountains. Gorgeous.

So beautiful and peaceful
The cabin was perfect for my husband, our dog and I. It had everything we needed. The area was breathtaking! We couldn't have asked for a better spot. It was quiet and the views were amazing. This was our first time at SML and we are so glad we visited. We hope to be back next year with my husband's kids and their spouses for a family vacation. If you are looking for a quiet getaway with spectacular views of the lake and the mountains, this cabin is perfect!

Peaceful
Nice, quiet cove with limited boat traffic in a no wake zone which is great for kayaks, paddle board, or when tying up a boat. The cabin is comfortable with exclusive access to a floating dock. There is a parking area to park a truck and trailer, though it’s not directly in front of the house. Overall a comfy cabin in a quiet part of the lake.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It’s perfect for a small family. Very clean home, quiet neighborhood. Almost feels like a gated community neighborhood. Fully stocked kitchen (there were a few things we forgot to bring and they had it there which was so convenient). Many hours were spent on the deck, loved that it has an umbrella for shade, spacious and lovely views. Enjoyed the boat dock. Only issue was that the power at the boat dock was not working. We reached out via email because we didn’t feel it an emergency to use the emergency contact line but we never got a response.we had to unfortunately carry a heavy battery upstairs to charge the boat battery. We will be buying a portable one for now on. We wouldn’t come back ONLY because the location didn’t suite our needs, a little too far from places. And I’ll never book a place without a washer and dryer again. (Learned a lesson there). However if you’re wanting peace, quiet, seclusion and awesome neighbors, this is the place for you!!

Lovely Cabin & Stay
The owner was very responsive, the cabin was clean, the furniture comfy, the lake was quiet on weekdays (bit more activity on weekend), there is a gorgeous view from the cabin, and there is a spacious elevated deck. This cabin has its own private floating dock (connected to the main shared dock by a small staircase) which was awesome. I recommend this stay, and we hope to be back again.

First time
This was my first time to SML. This cabin was perfect! It was clean and well kept. The view was beautiful. The inlet we were on is a “no wake” which made it perfect for spending relaxing time on the water without a bunch of other boats. I would highly recommend this cabin at SML for a weekend getaway!

Fantastic lake cabin
This property was exactly what we were looking for. We enjoyed our stay immensely. It fit our family of 4 very nicely. The view from the cabin was beautiful. If you have a boat, there is a dock you can tie up to. I will say the stairs to the dock are very steep and may be challenging for older guests, but they did not bother us. The owner was responsive and easy to work with.
