Spacious lakefront retreat with unbeatable views - Sleeps 13

Kayaks, paddleboat, firepit, sandbox, covered boat slip w/lift, unobstructed Smith Mountain views, high-speed internet - there's something for everyone at Happy Endings on Smith Mountain Lake!

This 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home located on prestigious Capewood Drive has southwestern exposure and sweeping mountain views with sunrises and sunsets that will make you wish you never had to leave! The main level boasts a great room with wood beams, vaulted ceilings, and gas fireplace for cozy gatherings. The well-stocked kitchen makes it easy and enjoyable to feed a crowd, and even our youngest guests will find everything they need (from kid-friendly dinnerware to booster seats) to feel right at home! The beautiful lakeside sunroom is a favorite gathering space both day and night, and the large deck overlooking the firepit, sandbox, and dock offers some of the best views on the lake. As dinnertime approaches, you'll want to enjoy the gas grill, Blackstone grill/griddle, and two high-top dining tables that seat a total of 8. After a long day of fun, you'll be ready to rest your heads in the spacious master suite with sliding glass doors and windows to maximize the view, the queen guest bedroom with adjacent bathroom, and the triple bunk room that's ready for late-night whispers and giggles.

The lower level features a wet bar, pool table, air hockey table, and plenty of games to ward off rainy-day boredom! A second master bedroom, adjacent to a large bathroom, has a queen bed and set of twin bunks making it perfect for a family. An additional bunk room is a favorite with our teen guests wanting their own space. We also have a pack n' play available for our littlest lake-lovers.

The dock area offers a covered boat slip w/lift (available Memorial Day to Labor Day, all other times please inquire about availability), a floating dock for boat tie-up or sunbathing, and a boathouse stocked with floats/noodles, a small selection of life jackets, and a mini fridge. We also have kayaks (1 adult and 2 youth), canoe, paddleboat, and stand-up paddleboard available for your enjoyment.

Check-in is 4pm, check-out is 10am unless otherwise arranged with us in advance. We are unable to accommodate early arrivals/late departures during the summer season.

Thanksgiving at the lake house!

We had 13 people staying there for multiple days to celebrate thanksgiving. The accommodations were absolutley perfect. There was enough space for the kids to have fun and the adults to relax. It was cold when we went but still enjoyed the firepit and the AMAZING sunsets over the lake. All in all 100% reccomend the stay!

Great Family Getaway

Thank you for providing a lovely setting to spend quality time with our children and grandchildren. We ALL had a fun week at SML, especially the special cousin time for our youngest grandchildren. They all tried tubing for the first time as we rented a pontoon boat for a day and it was a highlight. Your home had just the right amount of space for us and was well equipped. Residing in Virginia Beach we always thought we were ocean people, but apparently we are lake people too and will surely return.

Great for quality family time.

The best thing about this home is the views! There is also Great Lake access with plenty for kids to do. I personally love how secluded the home was, it added a very relaxing woodsy vibe. The owner is extremely friendly and responds quickly to message (this is appreciated.) Only a few things I’d like to point out to other guest, there are no linens (it’s in the listing details but we missed it), there’s only one working tv in the upstairs living space (not a terrible bad thing, and the closet full grocery store is 30mins away. Overall it was a great stay. Will stay again.

Beautiful View

This house is situated in the perfect location for watching boat traffic, watching wildlife and watching the stars. Plenty of water toys and life vests made it a good fit for our multi age group. Beds are so comfortable and there are lots of chili out areas in the house. Our favorite was the sun porch.

Vacation 2023

We enjoyed our stay. The property was beautiful. The one problem we had is that the bathtub does not work in the master bedroom. When you have small children that can be an issue with bathing. The deck house was well stocked with life vest, fishing rods and floating devices.

Relaxing Retreat with Spectacular Views

We have been coming to the lake for 14 years now, and this house had one of the most amazing views! When we are looking for a lake house at SML we are looking for a house with views, a great boat dock, and good sleeping arrangements. This house delivered and there was sooooo much more. It was clean, the beds were comfortable for everyone, the views were on point, we had a boat and it was easy to dock, the kitchen was well labeled and well stocked with dishes and anything else you would need when it comes to having to cook (just bring the food), the Blackstone on the deck was an extra bonus (my husband loves cooking on his Blackstone at home) for breakfast and dinners, they had so much for our 14 and 17 year old to do (paddle boards, canoe, and pedal boat). I highly recommend this house! It was a relaxing retreat that we look forward to every year! Thank you!!!!

Weekend stay

Me and some friends were Gatling for a long weekend to catch up at the lake. The house was beautiful and cozy with lots of room to hang out together. The dock is very nice and we enjoyed having a fire going to warm up as it was late in the season. Overall we were very impressed with the house and enjoyed our stay. **There are no linens which was explained by the host prior to us arriving but we did forgot to include kitchen towels which are not included either.

A fun weekend stay at the lake

We had a wonderful time at Happy Endings! It truly is such a beautiful view there, and we were thankful to have a weekend with our friends. The only drawbacks: having to bring own sheets, towels, paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, and garbage bags. Front door keypad does not work nor is the code correct in the email that was sent prior to check in. Luckily, a back door was unlocked, so we easily were able to get in and then unlock the front door. Also, many of the lights in the downstairs bar area need new light bulbs, so it was hard for us to hang out downstairs. Positive parts of the stay: we loved that there were three bathrooms, the king bed in the upstairs master suite was SO comfortable, the dock area was awesome and so much fun, and we loved that there were two grills to cook on. Overall, it was a good weekend with a few small setbacks, but it didn't keep us from having a great time and really wanting to come back in the off-season again!
