Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The location was perfect, the dock was amazing. The house was clean comfortable and all we needed. The flat top griddle was so much fun too.The lower level was not accessible from the house, which was a shame. And we found a dead bat in the bathroom when we checked in. Surprised the cleaning crew missed this considering how clean the whole hoarse was.I would recommend this home, as long as you realize the laundry is a separate level accessed from outside. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1a731ee5-5f45-4770-a055-5173fb5fffbc-1749945731773.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Richard P. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### scott s. Oct 12, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Great lake location, decent house, neighbors dogs are loud This house is economical and priced right for the money. The location on Smith Mountain Lake is good... close to a couple places by car and boat. The house itself is decent and clean. On the negative side, all of the nonstick stuff is coming off the really old pots and pans, which made them unusable as a cancer survivor. Plus, there are no baking dishes. Lastly, the next-door neighbor is literally in this home’s backyard and has three dogs that bark constantly. I’m a dog lover and dog owner, and the situation with her barking dogs is unbelievable. It’s a literal cacophony. You can’t have a conversation while in the backyard. Plus, this neighbor has access to the house, and was utilizing the washer and dryer when we arrived, which was uncomfortable .... we were to have the use of the entire home, not share space with a neighbor. If this person ever moves away, this house will be much improved. ##### scott s. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Talah G.

Due to the pandemic, we spent most of our time at the house and playing games with family. Nice surroundings to walk daily in the rural area. The lake was beautiful and used by boats, jet skis, and waterskiers. ##### Joan b. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Connor B.
