Cardinals Nest Smith Mtn Lake

MatthewRating, 5 stars7 months ago
This home was very nice, and the private little beach was perfect for our little kids. Home was clean and we had a great time. Only thing I would want other guest to know is that if you plan on cooking your meals like we did, you want to bring a cutting board and peeling knife with you and maybe some mixing bowls and spices. We managed but I would have brought all that had I known. I would still highly recommend this home.

Cedar Key Retreat

BrendaRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Stephen's house was exactly what my family needed for a relaxing long weekend to be together. The house suited our needs extremely well with so many places to gather but also comfy spaces to curl up and read or take a nap. The deck overlooked the beautiful yard and view of the water with plenty of seating for all of us. The sunroom was enjoyable from morning til late at night, listening to the owls. The kitchen was well stocked and large enough for multiple cooks. My adult children enjoyed kayaking several times, especially since the house is tucked away from the main part of the lake, so we had very little water traffic. We only ventured out once to visit some wineries and pick up a pizza, preferring to just stay and enjoy the setting, although there was information about things to do in the area. This was our first of hopefully many visits to SML and I don't think we'll bother to search for a different house. We're already talking about our next time there!

The Gate House - Lake Views and Private Cove

DeniseRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The house is beautiful and was perfect for our group getaway. Everything looked like the pictures and the descriptions. Hosts very responsive! A few people were a little uneasy with a couple of houses/trailers coming down the road but felt safe inside the house.

Pets, Lake, Dock, Fire Pit, Kayaks, and SUP

RalphRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Peaceful is the best way to describe this retreat. We had 3 generations of family along with our active dogs and everyone had a great New Year’s holiday. The home was well cared for and the setting was serene. Close enough to obtain all the necessary provisions but far enough away that for most of they stay everyone just hung out together. I would definitely recommend and hope to stay again.

LAKE Breeze: Private Dock! - Casago SML

MarlanaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
I offered five stars. There were a few tiny things that need attention—which happens when one’s property is being handled with a management company and not the owner unfortunately. We prefer more personal stay, but chose this property because of location. We do not regret it at all!!! We did notify the management company and they were quick to respond. Beds are perfection. Pillows are perfection. The space and view are perfection. Lots of water toys. We rented a boat and jet ski from across the water for two days, so the dock was AMAZING!!!!! We spent most of our time on the water. Would stay again.

Two waterfront cottages on 11 acres w private dock

ThomasRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Ben was a perfect host. Very communicative and will do whatever it takes to make the stay as good as possible. Beautiful property and very cool layout with multiple dwellings on the property. So many beds! Great lakefront just an easy walk down from the main house. The deck with fire pit and outdoor TV along with the wiffle ball field make for a great place to hangout and spend the day with your group! Would definitely book again!

A Nautical Nook on Smith Mountain Lake

CynthiaRating, 5 stars7 months ago
A Nautical Nook was a peaceful place to spend Labor Day Weekend with our two dogs and college-age kids. We loved the dock and used kayaks each day to paddle up the lake. Our dogs loved chasing a ball in the backyard and swimming with us at the water’s edge. The location is close to Smith Mtn Lake State Park and Mariners Landing, the latter where we ate dinner three nights, rented wave runners one afternoon to explore the larger lake, and played golf one afternoon. Robert’s kitchen had all we needed and the screened in porch was great. We didn’t have any issues during our stay but up until our visit Robert was very responsive so we imagine he would have been quick to respond had anything been needed.

Cozy, peaceful, private cottage in the country.

CindyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We were in the area from 3/15/25 through 3/18/25 for our son and daughter-in-laws baby shower. We were truly blessed to find Tamara and Luis's airbnb!! It is a beautiful, cozy little cottage that has EVERYTHING you need!! Tamara goes above and well beyond in making sure the guests have all of the amenities of home. Oh my, and then there is the homemade banana bread and fresh eggs on the counter to welcome you as you enter.....so delicious and a genuinely special added touch :) We brought our black lab, Storm, and he and Buddy, Tamara and Luis's golden doodle, became fast friends and enjoyed running together in the beautiful open area. The entire property is meticulously maintained, and it is such a peaceful and beautiful getaway. We enjoyed our talks with Tamara and Luis, they are the kindest and most welcoming couple. We felt like family, and we will definitely stay again when in the area to visit our son, daughter-in-law, and grandbabies. You will love your stay here!!

On The Rocks SML

KellyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Kate's house in Penhook is gorgeous! The views of Mountain Mountain Lake from the home are truly stunning. The area around the airbb is quite remote, so ensure you have all your needs before arriving, but as long as you do there is no need to leave once there! There was a cleaning miscommunication out of Kate's control before we arrived and she handled the situation with above and beyond hospitality. We felt so supported and grateful. This house has plenty of room, a good kitchen for cooking, a cozy wood burning fireplace and nice large dining table for gathering, in addition to both a deck and a dock. We definitely hope to come back in the summer!

A Waken at Smith Mountain | Lake-front A frame

DonnieRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We enjoyed a wonderful long weekend stay at the cabin. The surroundings are beautiful and had we been in the area to enjoy ‘lake life’ this cabin would be a perfect fit. We were in the area to visit some museums in Roanoke and usually stay in hotels, but our dogs tend to bark and that bothers the other guests. As the cabin is dog friendly, we were able to crate them for a little while, while we enjoyed our day. Our host provided plenty of towels for our use, though we were surprised that there were no washcloths provided. When I mentioned this to our host, she said they’d take that recommendation for future guests. I’d also suggest that a box of tissues would be a nice addition (fortunately we had one in the car). But this is nitpicking, really. Bottom line - it’s a beautiful cabin and the surroundings are the same. Any lake loving boater would be right at home. And our host was friendly and communicative.

Blue Ridge Mountain Cabin

DavidRating, 5 stars3 days ago
This cabin was a very nice place to stay. It was clean and had everything we needed. There were 3 of us and it was perfect. My youngest son loved the loft. The host is extremely responsive and very friendly. You are staying on the host's property (their residence is across the driveway) but we found them to be very hospitable and friendly yet left us alone. We loved the outdoor area with lights and the fire pit. We were there primarily to attend the a Nascar race in Martinsville but I would go back again because there is a ton to do in the area.

Cute and Comfy Cabin

LeonardRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a lovely 2-night stay at this peaceful cedar cabin. The setting is serene and picturesque—tucked away in a quiet cove with gorgeous lake and mountain views. The cabin was spotless, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. While we didn’t use the kayaks or paddleboards, it’s great to know they’re available. The deck and garden were beautiful and perfect for relaxing. Communication with Alicia was excellent—she was friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend for a peaceful lake getaway!

Cabin at the Reserve

RickyRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Several of my friends and I went to the area for the spring Nascar race in Martinsville, Virginia. This was the first time that we have stayed in an AirBnB, the price was much cheaper than what we have paid previous years at hotels in Virginia. The cabin is clean with numerous amenities, very nice back deck for morning coffee and front porch for our nightly relaxation time. The dining table was perfect for our euchre matches. Absolutely loved John’s choice for our entry access code. I wish all AirBnB hosts did that. We would highly recommend this place, it is definitely as advertised.

This was a beautiful get away! The house had everything we needed. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs. The Christmas decorations were such a nice touch! Definitely consider coming back in the summer to take advantage of the water activities!
