Both the home and the surrounding property were perfect for our winter getaway. We made s’mores in the fire pit, and the kids loved walking along the dock and shoreline, looking at the water. Inside was VERY clean, cozy and welcoming. We enjoyed the fireplace, closet full of games and cozy blankets for watching Christmas movies. They had it completely decorated inside and out for Christmas, which was an unexpected surprise! We are looking at booking the property again for a potential summer visit!

This was our second stay at Dockside Daze, and once again, it was a fantastic week! The house is beautiful and filled with thoughtful amenities that make it feel like home. The yard is spacious—perfect for lawn games and relaxing outdoors. We especially loved the dock and tiki bar area, which is beautifully set up and offers a perfect spot to take in the stunning sunsets each evening. The location is great too—close to plenty of stores, restaurants, and everything you might need.

This house was absolutely amazing. Has everything you could ever think that you would need. From a fully stocked kitchen to cozy blankets for the inside, cozy blankets for the outside. The dock and cabana were awesome. We rented a boat and voted around the lake right before Thanksgiving. The hose were absolutely amazing. Answered all of our questions. Response was quick. We did have questions. I would totally recommend anyone to stay at their place. We plan to go back in the summertime when the weather is warmer and we can spend more time in the water.

Very nice lake vacation house!

The property is very nice, well maintained and set up nice for guest. Very nice location, perfect boat docking setup and well maintain docks. I took a 24' bay boat, dock was perfect for a boat that size. Of the few houses I have rented at Smith Mountain Lake for a few days fishing at other houses in the past, Dockside Daze will now be my go-to for Smith Mountain Lake trips.

This incredibly well stocked, well thought out, well appointed, gorgeous gem of a home was perfect for our small family Thanksgiving. Any kitchen item you might need - there are several to choose from, including the host bringing over a turkey roasting pan so I didn’t have to bring mine.

The way the owners have the property setup is fantastic. Big TVs, grill, fire ring, bar on dock with TV, etc. Whether you want to lounge in the shade, go out on the lake, or watch the big game it’s setup great. Quality bumpers and cleats on dock to protect your boat. Nice house. Comfortable beds. Nice bathrooms. We’ve been coming to SML for 20 years and this is the best house we have stayed in.

Great stay despite the weather.

We had terrible weather the first two days of our stay, but the house was very cozy and there were plenty of throw blankets for us to snuggle up. The games and puzzles were great! We enjoyed all the TV's and cable access (to watch Penn State win the Big 10 wrestling title). Once the weather improved, we enjoyed the large backyard and the beautiful deck and tiki bar. You can't beat the location. It was our first time at SML and we were glad we were very close to most of the restaurants on the lake.
