The house was lovely and the view was incredible. House could have been a little cleaner—cobwebs in the great room and dishwasher was full of dishes not very clean. Pots and pans need to be cleaner as well.

We enjoyed the peaceful cove and especially the hot tub and fire pit. The beds were super comfy and the kitchen had good cooking space. For a group of 12, we were short one coffee cup, but other than that the dishes/utensils were ample and small appliances were very helpful.We truly appreciated the gas fireplaces as the weather was quite cool and we were still able to be outside to drink our coffee and enjoy the surrounding area.

We had the most relaxing time at the property. It was right on the lake, so we enjoyed being able to go at our leisure. A paddle board and a kayak were available for our use, so we enjoyed paddling around, curling up by the fire pit, and relaxing in the hot tub. Very quiet, relaxing atmosphere. We definitely hope to return!

Had an amazing time at this property. Probably the best pool table in a rental I've ever seen. There are a lot of steps to get from the house to the dock but I think that's generally going to be the same with almost all of the properties in the area.

5 star!First time visit to Smith Mountain Lake and plan to return!House was clean and adequate space for family of 12. Kiddo's enjoyed bunk bedroom and game room. Adults especially like sitting on covered porch facing the lake. Kitchen well equipped and owner very responsive, even delivered a blender on our request! Quiet cove perfect for swimming and for docking our pontoon boat. Although there were many steep steps to lake and steep driveway down to house, we still enjoyed the house and surrounding area. Would consider returning again next year!

Plenty of Room for All

We loved the open concept kitchen, dining table, and family room. We were all together when we were inside. We also played games in the evening on the deck off the main floor. We were happy to have plenty of chairs and invited friends from a couple coves down to play "Mind the Gap" in our generational teams. I was glad I didn't bring my elderly mother this year because she could not have navigated the steps. For the rest of us, our legs are stronger!

Very Nice Lakefront Property

Everything was very nice about the property and exactly as described. It was spacious with plenty of room for us to hangout together or separately if we chose. My only complaints were regarding the kitchen. The floor was not as clean as it should’ve been upon our arrival. Also, we had to contend with ants until I used salt as a deterrent that kept them off the kitchen counter for the duration of our stay.

Perfect family get away

We enjoyed our time here. Plenty of space, loads of dishes and cookware which is not always the case at many places. We enjoyed the pool table and hot tub along with spending a majority of our time on the covered porch and the dock. The driveway is steep and there are 96 steeps to the dock. So we got plenty of exercise.

Can’t ask for a better stay. We have stayed at two of GateWays properties within a month on purpose. They’re built by someone that understand lake life. Relaxed and luxury for a vacation. Special owners to understand the dynamics of a quiet cove.

Leadership Retreat in Style

We were a group of 7 women on the leadership team of a homeschool co-op meeting for our annual spring planning retreat. This home allowed us to spread out comfortably through all of the bedrooms, cook meals with ease, eat those meals inside or out on the deck, have meetings, play games, do crafts, and have a wonderful time together! Thank you for providing such a well-stocked clean home for our enjoyment. There was also plenty of parking for everyone next to the house and up the hill of a driveway to the parking pad. Would definitely recommend for a group!

Men’s Lake trip

Semi-annual get together with HS buddies - class of ‘83. Loved the home. Loved that we all had separate rooms. All modern amenities - all worked as described. Big TV’s in separate areas provided opportunities for the sports loving guys, as well as the music fans. The furniture in the main living area could be a bit more cozy, but there was plenty of seating. We truly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the value. We’re considering booking again for next year. Thanks!

Beautiful home and the perfect space for a family weekend!

My husband and I stayed here with our immediate families for our wedding at Ivy Rose Farm and this was the perfect house! It was absolutely stunning and the outdoor decks and views were our favorite. The only downfall I would say is the driveway is quite steep and our grandma could not walk it. Other than that, no complaints and we would 100% stay here again!

Annual family vacation

There were 18 of us (10 children) and we all found a comfy place to sleep (not all in beds). The home is very nice and as stated before the views from the decks are beautiful. The communities electric went out and when it came back our internet didn't work (xfinity problem not Beville). Mike made some phone calls and got them out sooner than expected. His men that came out to check it couldn't fix the problem but they did fix a flat tire we had which saved us hours of run around! We all agreed it was our best week yet at SML and would recommend Foothills Retreat for a family vacation.

Misleading Listing

The house was lovely although not comfortable for 10 adults. Seating was most hard side chairs with one two seater couch in the great room. The lot was EXTREMELY steep and not easily navigated by those of us with some balance and mobility issues. Access to the lake was challenging for all - one section in particular where there were no steps only uneven stepping stones that appeared to be washed out by recent rains. None of the bedrooms contained televisions so watching a program was difficult when the room was full of people. The pictures were out of date and not indicative of the property. We would not stay here again.

Disappointing

Having booked several houses over the years, I’ve never run into so many issues or been as disappointed in my selection Pros: - interior matches picture and description - Modern/updated interior - Layout was great for a group of 10 - Game room was a hit - Proximity to boat rentals, restaurants and the grocery store Cons: - ANTS! There were ants everywhere when we arrived. There were dozens of ant traps in the kitchen, on the floor, on the counters, it was so disgusting. - treacherous hike down to the dock was less than ideal, resulting in a portion of our group not being able to enjoy the dock or be able to board the boat. Not recommended for children or older adults with any mobility concerns. - Broken stone step on the walkway resulting in injuries. - Damaged door locks preventing the house from being able to be secured that were never repaired - The ice maker was broken. The property mgmt. company said they’d bring ice daily, they brought it 1x - Slow responses from property management, it took 2 calls, an email and 6 hours to even get a text back. The majority of the issues were never resolved before we left.

Great house just a few things to be aware of

Great house and set up for a family/friends vacation. A few things to be aware of: steps can be dangerous (stones that aren’t physically attached to the ground so be very cautious when walking to the water). There is no boathouse and it is just a floating dock. If you are bringing multiple boats, you can make it work but it is less than ideal. Hot tub and outdoor space at the house we’re our favorite hangouts.
