We loved our stay. The interior space was perfect for us, but the hot tub and exterior amenities took the cake!! It was great being that close to the lake and having a great bar/restaurant a few steps away.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Terribly maintained, excuses from the host, will never book again. Frozen hot tub, no heat in the unit and they didn’t even have blinds for a glass door that sees everything. I’m pursuing a refund & can only hope the host cares enough to actually fix things. Do not stay here when it’s cold, they don’t care about the property.

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.
