Beautiful home, great location. Amenities lacking
This home is beautiful and the location is perfect. It does seem like furnishing / equipping it was an afterthought. Many things were broken or didn’t work. Furnishings were slim and we had to move tables around to create nightstands. House sleeps 16 and table seats 4. There are no casserole dishes, serving bowls etc for a large party. 3 bedrooms were mislabeled and guests ended up sleeping on the floor. Host didn’t seem to care and was very slow to reply. If you stay here, plan ahead. And rent a boat! It made our week!

Lovely house. Plenty of space for everyone the “kids”in the family loved the games room in the basement. Some areas inside could have been cleaner. Crumbs on a recliner. Many light bulbs were not working. The 2 ovens were extremely dirty and many of the pots, pans and baking trays need to be replaced. The outside could do with some cleanup work.

Great Place To Relax
We loved our stay here!! We spent the week with extended family and never ran out of things to do. The lake was a perfect temperature to swim and we had so much fun with the provided kayaks and paddle boat. We also loved the downstairs game room…big hit with the kids!! The cabin was very clean and well appointed with most anything you would need. We also had a great experience renting a pontoon boat from the marina that’s close by and had a blast using that during the week.

Great getaway with the family!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and all the house had to offer. Leesville lake is just the spot for a quiet fun filled family vacation. The kids loved jumping off the dock and kayaking. The gameroom was enjoyed by adults and kids! The only thing I would suggest is a larger dining table for those of us that maximize the space!

Great house - somewhat isolated
Our family of 11 adults and teenagers enjoyed our week at this beautiful rental on Leesville Lake. I mistakenly thought it was on Smith Mountain Lake since that was the location I had entered in the search box. The downstairs game room is phenomenal. We had hoped to go for walks in the area, especially around the lake. That is not possible. My husband and I are in our late 70s and found the long steep stairway to the lake to be challenging. The kayaks got lots of use and the lake was just fine for swimming.

Beautiful lake house
We rented this property for a multigenerational family trip. There were 16 of us, 4 couples, 1 nearly teenager, 4 between 6-10 yrs, and 3 kids under 4 years. This cabin was set up perfectly to accommodate us. Each couple had a private bedroom that was big enough to share with the youngest kids, the nearly teen had her own space, and elementary aged kids loved the kids cabin room. The basement was the real hero on the rainy days and the kitchen/common spaces were large enough to share comfortably. The dock is really nice, but it was down about 5 flights of steps. No problem for the adults and older kids, but the younger ones struggled. The muddy beach area that is pictured wasn't easily accessible from the shore, so there wasn't a good wade in option for the littlest kids. We ended up visiting Smith Mtn state park for a beach day just for a change of pace. This is a pretty isolated property so bring your own entertainment. The Leesville Lake Marina is about 1/4 mile away on the water, but it's a 15 min drive. There is a restaurant there, but it wasn't impressive enough to visit more than once. The owner was helpful and responsive. We had some significant internet issues while we were there and he was very helpful and involved in the resolution attempts. There were 4 kittens under the front porch, too! They were cute and fun.

Tell the property owner to check the propane.
Our church group stayed here for the men’s weekend in Lynchburg. When we arrived we encountered an indoor temperature of 56 degrees. We made sure the thermostats were set to heat up the house to no avail. We checked the propane tank in the front yard and found that the tank was empty and that we were not going to have heat for the stay. Our group was cold, but made it through. The house is beautiful, but this particular stay was rough. The property manager has not yet returned my inquiries about the (lack of) heat and if they as the property manager would be reimbursing any portion of our stay as our group was cold for the duration of the stay. The weather outside was at or barely above freezing. Please make sure the property has plenty of propane for heat during the winter months.

Wonderful setting for retreat
This is a wonderful property. Dustin is very responsive and very accommodating. The listing advertises a steep driveway and this is accurate. This might not be the best option for people who have difficulty with stairs. The setting would be ideal for bigger families with children as there are several sleeping and entertainment options for little ones. The lake is wonderful and the numerous kayaks, canoe, and pedal boat gave. Some of the furniture was well used but this in no way detracted from our stay and the arcade is amazing.

I can speak for everyone else when I say that we had an amazing experience at this property. Great stay overall and the place itself was perfect for our needs. Even though it was a little far from other places and activities, it was still a very nice experience and nothing a little car ride can’t solve.
