About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Beautiful lakeside family or corporate retreat with pool, hot tub, and more!
As its name and address would suggest, Pine Haven is tucked away in a quiet stand of pines on the eastern shore of Smith Mountain Lake and is awaiting your arrival! This custom lakefront home completed in 2017 still feels and looks like new and would be a candidate for anyone’s “A” list of top vacation destinations.
This spacious home boasts four beautifully furnished and well-appointed bedrooms, three and a half baths, a vaulted ceiling great room with stone fireplace and Sony flat screen TV, lighted curio cabinets, hickory flooring and knotty alder doors, premium granite top kitchen with the finest JennAir appliances, separate dining and breakfast areas overlooking the lake, and a walk-out gathering room with brand new sectional sofa, Sony 4K TV and kitchenette.
Whew! Take a breath and read on. There is a composite deck (no nails or splinters!) with retractable awning, an inground salt water pool (summer uae only), large paver patio, eight person hot tub, stone fire pit with composite Adirondack chairs, a gas Weber grill on the deck, Sonos surround sound throughout the living and outdoor areas, and a covered deep water dock to serve as a launch pad for all your water activities. There is ample paved parking for multiple vehicles and even a back-up whole house generator in the unlikely event power is lost during your stay. Internet and cable TV are included at no added cost.
Pine Haven is located in a quiet cove behind one of our favorite lakeside stops, Mitchell’s Point Marina where, in the warmer months you can rent the watercraft or water toys of your choice, enjoy mouth watering outdoor dining and live music at Mitchell’s Restaurant and Pizzeria, and cheat on your diet at the home dipped ice cream hut out front. The view from the home and dock is mostly of the large surrounding cove and community but, if you look above the tree tops, you’ll also catch the peak of the lake’s namesake, Smith Mountain.
If you’re new to Smith Mountain Lake, you’ll be swept away by the quality of life here. SML, as its known locally, is considered one of the top 10 fresh water lakes in the country and offers limitless boating and water based recreational activities. There are nearly two dozen marinas, a dozen lakeside restaurants, and enough open water to accommodate everything from slalom skiers to poker runs and professional fishing tournaments. Did we mention that it has 500 miles of shoreline?
The water is clean and weed-free and bugs are practically non-existent. Mosquitoes are on the endangered species list (not really, but you get the point.)
Pine Haven is the perfect destination for your family getaway or corporate retreat. But be forewarned – leaving it at the end of your stay may be harder than you think!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace.

June Family Trip
The property was great. Beautiful large, home directly on the lake with plenty of space for our family both inside and out. Lots of amenities including the pool, hot tub, fire pit, barbeque and lakeside dock with "toys", kayaks and life jackets. However I must point out that the rental descriptiom on VRBO said there were 2 kingsize beds in the house but in reality, there was only 1. otherwise this would have been a 5/5.

The home is spacious and beautiful. It was very hot during our stay so the saltwater pool and lake were very much utilized. We did rent a boat for the day and the kids and adults loved the tubing. Dennis and Mary Ann are great owners and made themselves available if needed. This was are second stay at this home.

Gorgeous lakefront home
Beautiful, spacious, welcoming - just a few superlatives describing our wonderful trip and stay at Dennis and Mary Ann’s home at Smith Mountain Lake. This is the second year that my family and I have stayed here over Memorial Day to celebrate birthdays and the beginning of summer. From the hot tub to the fire pit to the amazing pool, all the kids and family members had a fantastic time. It's on a quiet cove right on the lake with beautiful views. We rented a boat and enjoyed the lake and scenery of the mountains. I highly recommend this home for your next getaway. It had plenty of room for my family with an open kitchen and different areas for gathering. We are creating wonderful memories and look forward to returning next year. Thank you!

Huddleston Graduation Stay
We had a wonderful stay! The lakefront view was stunning and provided the perfect peaceful backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The quiet neighborhood made it easy to unwind, and we especially enjoyed ending our evenings in the hot tub under the stars or gathered around the fire pit. The kitchen was well-equipped, which made preparing homemade meals a breeze. Beds were comfortable—everyone slept great! We would definitely return. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a cozy, scenic retreat.

Perfect Lake Getaway
The house is beautiful, with plenty of space for everyone. Beds were all very comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked with appliances. Great views and lake access and the teens enjoyed the fire pit--nice to have plenty of firewood at the house and smore sticks available. Nearest grocery store is about a 20 minute drive, but there was a corner store, White House Store, which had the basics only about 10 minutes. Definitely recommend, hosts were very helpful.

SML LAKE HOUSE
Had a wonderful family vacation at Smith Mountain Lake. The lake house was awesome. The house had everything available that we needed. We swam in the pool, relaxed in the hot tub, went kayaking and rented a boat to explore the lake and go tubing. We also went fishing. The boat rental was very convenient as the marina was just across the cove from the house. The house was absolutely beautiful and the host promptly answered all of our questions. 5 stars out of 5

Family Vacation 2024
This home is absolutely magnificent. It is right on the waterfront with a beautiful private dock equipped with two double seater kayaks and plenty of life preservers. We were able to fish and swim off of the dock. Fish were caught to the kids delight. The water is very clean. It also includes and salt water pool and a large hot tub that we all enjoyed, Our last night we set up a glow stick pool party with a fire. S'mores were of course the main attraction. During the week there was hiking with observing the many deer residents that seemed comfortable with our presence. A dinner out with karaoke, putt-putt, bungee jumping and delicious adult beverages. The kitchen is set up for entertaining. There is enough room in the home to also seek solitude if need be. We are excited to make more heart felt memories soon at this location. Dennis and MaryAnn were definitely a big plus to work with, They responded quickly to any questions that popped up.

This property was the perfect spot for our family to celebrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary. We had the opportunity to get everyone together and celebrate together.

Fabulous home and location
We stayed at this gorgeous lake home during our daughter’s graduation from Liberty. It was a gift of beauty and rest as we gathered with the grandparents and our other children, adult and young. Our younger caught 5 fish before we even unloaded the van. The pool and jacuzzi were a delight which we enjoyed at every available moment. The house was so clean that I didn’t feel like I had to wash everything upon returning home, which is a first for me! It was definitely worth the drive back and forth to campus in order to have such a place to gather. We would definitely return in two years when our son is scheduled to graduate. I highly recommend this gem!

Nice Getaway for a Long Weekend
We had been wanting to visit SML and came across this beautiful home that was available.
We would 100% stay here again - the house and lake were beautiful. The hosts, Dennis and Mary Ann, were easy to contact and prompt in responding.
We did have a few hiccups during our stay, just some information that would have been helpful to know before going here. Just FYI - we did not contact the hosts about these issues because they were minimal and it wasn't necessary during our stay, there wasn't much they could do and we were able to take care of this.
There is a cleaning fee, which is fine but there were some things that were not clean. I went to use the air fryer and it hadn't been previously clean. There was also green mold on one of the plates, and my daughter found a dirty, fake nail on the ground, (it was bright yellow, so I'm not sure how you would miss that when cleaning). There was also a stuffed animal and a t-shirt that didn't belong to any of us in one of the beds.
Minimal necessities are provided. The hand soap in the half bathroom and kitchen were almost out when we arrived, there was only one back up roll of paper towels, 2 dishwasher pods, 2 garbage bags, and one toilet paper roll, (one bathroom didn't have any). When you're paying quite a bit per night, I would assume we wouldn't be afraid to run out of these things. We ended up going to the store and buying the backups that were needed.
I would recommend this lake house but would bring the necessary items.

Peaceful Paradise
My family stayed here for a week, 6 adults and 6 kids ages 1-7. The bedroom setup was perfect, our infant slept in the upstairs 2nd bedroom and was never disturbed by noise in the living room or kitchen due to high quality doors that kept noise level down. The back porch with awning was an oasis for any time of day, such a spectacular view! The neighborhood is super quiet and peaceful, with deer to spot all over. The pool was a perfect temperature and was especially fun with the baja shelf. The littlest kids could play on there as a "shallow end" but even the adults would enjoy sitting on it for a cool down without swimming. The dock was huge and a fun place to jump off to swim, and also a big hit with the kids to fish from. We rented a pontoon boat for 2 days, which was super fun. There are 2 double kayaks available for use at the dock and we all took rides in those. There's a marina just across the cove where we ate ice cream and bought nightcrawlers for bait. The layout of the house was very accommodating, open and safe for kids. The stairs do not have a gate, so if you need that for an infant just bring one of your own. Can not speak more highly of this property. We wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!

Words cannot express the amazing time we had the past 2 weeks. The home was just perfect for our family gathering as we were able to celebrate my late parents Birthdays, could not have been better. We had lots of time on rented boat, the kayaks & swimming. The pool was a great opportunity for kids to swim while adults hung out on patio. Dennis & Mary Ann were exceptional hosts & attended to the little requests that came up. We can’t wait to return.
