The SML Retreat was the best overall VRBO we've stayed at in the entire country, offering modern luxury and incredible views of Smith Mountain Lake. The layout was perfect for our family of three adult couples, offering both gathering places for everyone (living/dining room, back porch, and the awesome dock on the water), as well as separate private areas for sleeping and remote work. It would also work well for families with kids of any age. The house was extremely well stocked with linens/towels, kitchen utensils, kitchen/bath supplies, and outdoor grill and dining/seating space. A particular highlight was the boat dock, which offered covered and uncovered seating, two kayaks & two standup paddle boards with life vests, refrigerator & bar, and space for a rental boat or jet ski. The communication with Kurt was outstanding and very timely, and we can't wait to come back to this awesome property again next year!
