The kayaks, paddle boards and boat docks were well utilized. The home is furnished nicely and the kitchen is very well stocked with pots, pans utensils etc. We could not have asked for better hosts and the communication was outstanding.

Sep 15, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Terrific family time! We enjoyed our 3 night family stay here. The beds, neighborhood, and furniture was comfortable and the water toys and ping pong a lot of fun! That area of the lake was quiet and safe without a lot of boat traffic and nice and deep for jumping in. One item to note if bringing elderly folks--the lot is flat relative to lakehouses in the area but seemed more like a hill to a grandma with arthritis--It was an easily negotiated incline with the nice gravel path and she did say it wouldn't keep her from coming again. And the chairs on ground level were fabulous as was the fire pit at night. Overall an A+ spot and lovely home we were thankful to borrow and would be glad to rent again. ##### Kristy H. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert D. Aug 21, 2017 #### Great location. Beautiful views. The house sits on a scenic lot with beautiful views of the lake and a dock. The host provided very detailed instructions for access and house rules. The house had rafts, paddle boards and life jackets available. We did not appreciate having to load trash into our vehicle and driving it 2 miles down the road. For a 125$ cleaning fee, a trash receiptical should have been made available at the property. ##### Robert D. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ted W. Aug 16, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Super lakehouse Bigger than we expected. Updated and awesome design. Really appreciated the kayaks and paddle boards and life vests. Plenty of room to spread out. Took advantage of ping pong table and foozball table. Appreciated kitchen supplies and spices. Great info and recommendations from owners on things to do and shopping. (picked blueberries and Homestead Creamery). S'mores by the firepit. We had vacationed with the family at North/South Carolina beaches for 10 years and were delighted for this change of pace. Fantastic week. ##### Ted W.

We had a fantastic week at Camp Run-A-Muk and will definitely return in the future! The location was perfect... just 10-15 minutes from Mitchell's Marina (where we rented our boat and had an excellent lunch!), about a 20 minute boat ride from the dam, where we were fortunate to witness a flyover of 3 F-15's on our last full day! The property is beautiful, well kept, and updated. The owners have put a ton of work into it, and it really shows. They have an awesome game room downstairs with a giant Connect Four, ping pong, and foosball, but we spent so much time in the lake that we didn't utilize that much. We used one of the kayaks quite a bit, and it was an added bonus that those and the paddle boards were included. Definitely a successful first (of many, I'm sure!) trips to Smith Mountain Lake, and a property I would 100% rent again! To top if all off, the owners were incredibly helpful and kind, and an absolute pleasure to work with! ##### Jennifer Y.

My family and I have been going and renting a house at SML for over 20 years and Camp-Run-a-Muk didn’t disappoint and is at the top of the list as far as houses go! It’s always hard to find a house with 4 bedrooms to fit our family; my parents, sisters and significant others, and now my children. We were welcomed with flowers (arranged by a local company with an amazing purpose), local wine and wine glasses, local honey, soap from a local vendor, and coffee. Such a wonderful touch and sweet gesture to start off our vacation! Communication with the owner was very easy and Holley was extremely welcoming. House is renovated and decor is on point. Has a kitchen table large enough for a family of 10 which was amazing for us and rare to find when renting. Kitchen has everything you’ll need while on vacation, plus a few bonus items; large coffee mugs for those early morning with young kids that don’t know how to sleep in yet, spices, aluminum foil and press and seal in the pantry. Located in a quiet part of the lake, not much boat traffic which is great for little ones learning to swim. Nice dock with 2 picnic tables. Would recommend bringing a chair or two down for some additional seating/lounging but not always necessary with how much time we spent in the lake. First house we’ve stayed at that had a pad which was a hit with the adults and kids! Very nice fire pit and sitting area for s’mores or a cold beverage after the end of a great day on the lake. Would totally recommend this home to anyone wanting to rent at SML! ##### Melissa H.
