Smith mountain lake gem
Cute place. It’s half of a duplex. Furnishings are nice. Bath is small but nice. No counter space tho. Bathroom door is a barn door style…little privacy. Kitchen has everything you need but there are no cabinets…just shelves. Dishes and glasses were in a basket. Not what you might expect. Keurig coffee maker…brought my own pods luckily TV and WiFi work great. Didn’t use the hot tub…its placement just outside of the entryway is odd, but makes a little more sense when you see it. My only significant concern was that the mini blinds that were on the glass entry door were missing (broken?)…had to hang a towel over the door glass to get some privacy. The owner was super nice…so sorry for their recent loss.
