Located in Merifield Acres, this vacation home is adjacent to John H. Kerr Reservoir and within a few miles (5 km) of Merifield Wildlife Management Area. The vacation home includes a kitchen, a fireplace, and a balcony.
Pine Landing is quite unique compared to area rental homes. With five bedrooms and a sleeper sofa, and four full bathrooms, twelve friends and family can easily enjoy comfortable lake living. A gentle slope brings you to 800 feet of shoreline and a private dock for your exclusive use. Enjoy swimming and fishing from the dock, or park your boat at the dock. You can also rent boats from the local water sports companies.
For the tight-knit family gathering at the house, they will see the accommodations keep them together comfortably, each doing what they wish. Play games using the high-speed Wi-Fi, read a book in the sun room, whip something up in the large kitchen, lay out on the sun deck, gather in the screened porch to rock and get caught up with one another, be delighted by the brilliant 72" Sony Bravia Hi-Def TV with the Sony Bravia surround sound system, take a walk across the street to the cluster of apple trees where deer spend a lot of time, swim off the dock, or just take that well deserved nap.
Sometimes, it's a family inviting a second family to join together at Pine Landing for a much busier week. Pine Landing is ready. Swimming at the dock every day, check! Got a boat, bring it! Don't have a boat, we'll help you rent one for the whole week and you will keep it at the dock of the house every night. Tuesday night, it's Bingo at the Community Center supporting the Ruritans! Wednesday, back at Pine, it's pizza and game night in the sunroom! Early in the morning, the Dads and kids all get up early to go on a guided canoe tour, meanwhile the Moms go to the Amish furniture factory a couple of towns over. The history buff in the family can make tour reservations at a local gem they have on their list - Prestwould Plan.tation. Prestwould is the most intact and best documented pre-Civil War plan.tation surviving in Southside Virginia. If golf is your game, there's Kinderton Country Club featuring a Donald Ross designed course just five minutes from Pine Landing.
Perhaps your whole family is all about the lake - imagine the fun your family can discover at Pine Landing. You are at a huge, lake-front home where playing in the lake, getting out on a boat, and having fun in the sun is all there is on your agenda ... for the whole week. You've got 800 miles of shoreline and 49,000 acres of water as your playground. After a great day of family time outside, freshly tanned, you come back to the house and grill your favorite meal. The aroma coming off the grill sets everyone's appetite! Sit, relax, enjoy dinner, have that beverage and rest knowing everything is just fine at Pine Landing.
The back yard is huge with a sloping walk to the lake and your own private dock with ladder. There is plenty of water depth for your big boat and launching ramps are less than five minutes from the house. So, bring your whole family, your boats and jet skis, and get ready to have plenty of quality time together. Oh, the dog is welcome, too.
Whatever your plans, here is more about the house!
ABOUT THE HOUSE
The house has what we call the Main Level and the Cottage Level (which traces back to the house's history). In the 1950's after Kerr Lake was formed, just a summer cottage was on this land. Years later my family built a large house that incorporated the cottage into the plan, thus the Cottage Level and the Main Level.
The Main Level has all of the major parts of the home - living room, sitting area around the wood-burning fireplace (fireplace not available in the summertime), dining area, kitchen, screened porch, open porch with grill, laundry room, and a full bathroom in the hall. There are two bedrooms: the Main Master Bedroom, with en-suite, has a king-size bed, a 32' HDTV and DVD player, two closets, and French doors opening out to a deck with a lake view. The Main Second Bedroom also has a king-size bed, a 32' HDTV and DVD player, a large closet, and two dressers. Both of these rooms also have luggage stands to make unpacking easier.
The adults enjoy this Main level of the house. The living room boasts a wood burning fireplace (available when outside temperatures are 50 and below), the 72" Sony Bravia high definition TV coupled with the Sony Bravia home theater surround sound system, Amazon FireSticks for streaming TV, cloth and leather furniture. The kitchen is open concept allowing the cooks to remain involved with the action in the living room, or friends may join the cooks by sitting at the kitchen four-seat island.
About six steps down from the main living area you arrive on the Cottage Level in the sunroom which has plenty of seating, many books, and two sets of French doors that reveal an open, sunny deck with lounge chairs and end tables.
Off the sunroom, there is the entrance (with a door) to the cottage. You enter the cottage living room which has a large window looking out to the lake, plenty of seating, and a 42" HDTV with DVD. The kids can gather here - they have their own living room (that door comes in handy if they get too loud), three bedrooms and two full baths, and separate HVAC system. The showers in these rooms have pre-set temperature maximum control for added peace of mind.
The cottage master bedroom has a queen-size bed and en-suite bathroom; the second bedroom also has a queen-size bed and en-suite, and the third bedroom – which is Pine's fifth bedroom - has two twin beds. The twin bedroom shares the bathroom of the second bedroom by entering a different door (think of a Jack & Jill bathroom). The couch in the cottage’s living room has a unique pull out bed that inflates by using a special electric air pump and is available to families with 11 or 12 people (the air pump is provided to you when you pick up the house keys).
For a schematic of the house’s layout, see the photos section.
ABOUT PARKING
There is plenty of parking for cars and trailers because there is a large, circular driveway, and there is a spur off leading to the additional parking area by the garage (sorry, the garage itself is not available for use).
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

Family getaway
We had a great stay. We had my 84 year old father and mother and three adult children and spouses and 2 adult grandkids with their spouses. The house was plenty big enough and the walk to the dock was nice and flat. We stayed in June during a massive heatwave in the upper 90s each day. We would like to come back in the fall. The kitchen was stocked with everthing imaginable and loads of china. My mother was so excited. We ate on different china for each meal.

Family Thanksgiving
This property has everything for a large group get-together. The upstairs has a beautiful kitchen, large bedrooms (2) and bathrooms (2) screen porch and deck and several comfortable places to sit and relax. The downstairs was not as nice and needed to be cleaner. We did not spend much time here using the outdoor amenities. We needed the bedrooms and bathrooms as our group had 11 people and we were having a family Thanksgiving at my brother’s house. Had to pay for bedding and towels. That seemed extra as they shorted us a king size sheet set and we found all the hand towels and wash rags in the dryer. We did get the king sheet set delivered if you like to cook the kitchen us everything

Fantastic stay!
We spent a week at Pine Landing and we had a blast! It was spacious and had enough room for our large group. It’s just a short walk to the private dock, we spent every day on the water either kayaking or swimming. The kitchen is great and very well stocked. We loved the screened in porch, we spent a lot of time gathered in there just spending time together. The host was very responsive and had some great suggestions.

The house is exactly as described. It is perfectly situated on a beautiful waterfront with very easy water annd dock an access. Lot is gently sloping. Even the neighbors were extremely nice, helpful and engaging. We had a large family group - multi generational and it worked out great. Rick is an amazing host and his communication is the best I’ve ever experienced. Thanks for a perfect stay.

This property was perfect for our needs. The owner was very easy to get ahold of and quick to respond to our text. Various places to get away from others. Peaceful and secluded. We enjoyed seeing lots of deer right from the back deck or in the front yard. Great for couples and large families.

Perfect for Family
Pine Landing was perfect for my siblings, me & my dog. The kitchen was a true gem with 2 dishwashers, 2 sinks, 3 coffee pots & plenty of room for the chefs in the family to work together. My dog had a blast swimming in the lake & was blissfully tired at the end of the day. Richard, our host, was immediately responsive to any questions we had and cheerfully talked us through some technical difficulties with connecting to the internet. He also provided some excellent recommendations for dining & other things to do in the small town of Clarksville - Bingo on Tuesday night was fun! The house was well furnished & comfortable. We could be together or easily escape to our own private space. My entire family said this place was one they would definitely return.

Great for extended family
All 12 in our family loved our visit here at Pine Landing! The layout of the house matched the website listing. We had 3 generations staying here and the layout of the living areas worked out great since we had young children with us. There was separated living areas which helped spread people out which seems hard to find in houses. We also needed the 5 bedrooms which is not always easy to find. The communication with the host was great. He was very informative and quick with his responses to a couple of questions and issues that we had. The house was well stocked with so many convenient items just as the listing stated. We couldn't ask for better access to the lake and were not crowded by the neighbors. It was a peaceful and delightful place for our whole family to be able to visit together! Would recommend it highly!
