Secluded Waterfront Get Away on Smith Mountain Lake
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (128)
"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."

"It was a perfect setting for a much needed getaway and rest. Very well equipped with everything needed to enjoy ourselves. Husband asked if we could stay a couple of extra days-after checking it was already booked. I told him that we would be back. Had a great time fishing off the dock and just hanging around. And added surprise was the gentleman that played the bagpipes every evening a little after 5pm.....Amazing Grace. I being slightly physically handicapped the stairs were a little...

Briarcliff - 3000 sq ft waterfront home w/ private dock, 2 kitchens & pool table
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (33)
"This was a last minute booking. One snafu with Vacasa with them not being able to verify my ID via DL but with a quick phone call that was corrected. The home itself is nice and has plenty of space and amenities. The decibel reader is a little off-putting but I understand with VA laws being the way they are. Overall, it was a nice stay."

LAKE LIVING AT ITS FINEST. Cozy cottage with wide water and mountain views.
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (70)
"We loved the cozy living room and amazing screen porch. There was plenty of space for our two young kids, us, and my sister! There was a huge and super comfy sectional sofa and a great fireplace that we made an awesome fire in with the firewood that the hosts left for us. We had a great time hanging out in the house since it rained most of the weekend and was pretty cold. When it did clear up a little, the view from the dock was gorgeous! Had we not had two small children and our dog running...

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (23)
"We rented this property for an extended family getaway. It was a great spot and beautiful home. This home offered a slew of activities for all to enjoy - the hot tub, the paddleboards, and the pool table. Although we couldn't partake in the pool or firepit because of the weather (too cool and windy), it was ready for us if we had the opportunity. Stores were about a 10 minute drive and easy to locate. My suggestions for an update to the home would be a few extra balnkets and to pave the...

"Laura was a delight during the check in process communication was quick and e. She was incredibly accommodating of our travel time. The house was delightfully rustic, comfortably familiar and oh so peaceful. The views are the absolute best from the top bedroom to the deck to the dock… SPECTACULAR! Private doesn’t explain the tranquility we experienced. We truly enjoyed every moment. It was our first visit to Smith Mountain Lake. We plan on a return trip to Love Sunsets, Thanks again to our host...
