Making Memories - House ,Decks,Docks access to Kayaks/ Pickle /Tennis R 26 .

Recently Modernized Home, Decks, and Docks within the last year. Our lake house is located on a quiet, deep water cove, which can be enjoyed from the large deck or the downstairs covered patio.
The upstairs has a fully equipped kitchen with bar. The living room and dining area look at the lake through sliding glass doors which open on to the very spacious fully furnished deck. Two picnic tables and outdoor furniture cover the deck. There are two bedrooms and a bath with the Master Bedroom opening onto the deck through sliding glass doors which offers a beautiful view of Smith Mountain Lake. Our home is conducive to total relaxation and fun for the entire family.
The downstairs opens to a covered patio from the den. This patio is amply furnished with a swing, corn hole set, fire ring, picnic table, and gas grill. There are 2 bedrooms with full size beds providing beautiful views of the lake and a utility room containing a washer, dryer and refrigerator.
Highspeed WiFi access.
The house has central air and heat. There are ceiling fans in all of the bedrooms.
A lighted walkway with a handrail provides easy access to the lake. A "snack shack", bi-level docks and a large sun deck. New decking and handrails installed last summer. There is both a refrigerator and microwave for your use in the Snack Shack. Two kayaks, one canoe along with a pedal boat for playing in the cove . The dock has an area for a boat to be tied along with ladders to exit the water when swimming .
A floating dock is anchored near shore to enjoy the sun.
Adjacent to the driveway to the lake house there is a 5 acre park with tennis and pickle ball courts, along with a basketball goal. Outside the courts, there is a soccer goal along with ample room for exploring. We try to have some recreation equipment for the ball courts onhand but we encourage to bring along rackets if interested .
A floating dock is anchored near shore to enjoy the sun.
We are conveniently located close to several wineries, grocery stores, Bridgewater Plaza, and public boat launch.
We accept a dog with a $250 fee but please notify the owner. A dog waste disposal station is located near the bottom of the steps off deck and we ask to please empty along with trash at the end of your stay .

Peaceful cabin
Great trip w/ my husband, 2 kids, & dog. Contacted owner 48 hrs before the trip to make sure it was ok to book & were told yes, confirmed next day. Put the boat in & parked truck on Thurs night, didn’t have to get in the truck again until heading home tues. Took boat to coffee,dinners,ice cream, etc. Full kitchen at the house w/ everything we needed to make meals. The house is in a wooded, secluded location which we much preferred over the more open areas of the lake. The cove is very calm/peaceful & we were able to fish, swim, & relax off the dock. We rent 5+ rentals a year & I’ve never posted a complaint before, but I tried to discuss this w/ the owner & was dismissed. House was filthy. Kitchen floors had food stuck to ground, coffee stains, etc. Trash & dirty socks poking out from beds. Dead bugs on bathroom counter/floor. Pill on couch. Random nails,tools,etc in the house. Leaf blower at kitchen table, maybe so we could blow off the deck, which was too dirty to sit on. I contacted the owner immediately & he said was sorry for food in the fridge, but he swiffered the floors himself & it was clean. No. It was disgusting. House has a cleaning fee, so I expected the house to be clean. If the house is not getting cleaned, there should be no cleaning fee, & we also would not have stayed there as it was not a cheap trip. Also, kayaks & pedal boat are just on the ground outside, one filled with water, the others with spiders & bugs & not usable.

Great location
We brought our boat and enjoyed a week in July. Quiet cove excellent for swimming and great location on the lake. House is as described, dated but functional. Rear of house faces north so you’re in shade most of the time on the rear porches, which I think was nice.

Great location, but outdated
Perfect place for those wanting to spend more time on the water with close proximity to boat rental, restaurants, and grocery. And its a good place for those wanting to spend more time at the lakehouse.... has what you need but the place could use a good update.

Great location, house in need of repairs
The floors were in desperate need of sweeping, the basement door is falling apart and won't stay open unless propped, the mattress covers need to be replaced. The location on the lake is great and close to rental facilities, but I wouldn't stay here again. Thankfully the toilets were clean.

Making memories
My family and I very much enjoyed our stay and the location and view were amazing. The upper level of the house was very nice, the lower level was was very dated but supplied extra space for our family. The docks were great for the kids to fish off of and dock our boats. The only drawback was that they don’t allow us to bring our dog.

Not all "Making Memories" are good memories.
Kitchen was not clean. We had to clean dishes (greasy) and clean the oven. Beds were not comfortable. My 12 year old niece was climbing out of the lake and the stairs attached to the dock board pulled off. We stayed 3 nights on the 2nd night the AC quit working and stayed off until after we left 11/2 later. Although the owners seemed nice enough the property is very old. Only 2 of the smoke detectors worked. The railing going to the bottom floor was inadequate.
