Treetop & Waterfront! Quiet Cove, Hot Tub, Kayaks, Game Room and more
Nestled on the slope of Smith Mountain Lake sits Firefly Cottage~ where the sky is lit up with stars and the fireflies dance over the water.
The cottage’s wraparound porch and windows offer beautiful lake and mountain views from nearly every room. The home has an open concept kitchen that allows you to enjoy the company of friends and family while preparing meals. There are multiple dining options including two dinner tables on the main level, a bistro on the porch, a picnic table on the patio and a bistro in the lower level. The cottage is unlike most others in that it has TWO full size kitchens and two docks on the lake.
Upon entry you will find the living room, two cozy bedrooms, a full bath with a beautiful tile shower, a washer and dryer for your convenience and the kitchen area fully stocked. Off of the back porch you will find stairs that lead you to a private, lower level perfect for family and children entertainment.
The lower level has its own private entrance, please note that it is accessible through the outside patio, so you will have to go outside to enter the game room area. It has a full bathroom with a dreamy freestanding tub, another full sized kitchen to prepare meals or store drinks, a foosball table, an arcade bowling game, a ping pong table, Wii console, XBOX 360 with a variety of games, a smart tv, and board games. For sleeping accommodations, there is a pullout couch that folds into a bed! This is the perfect area for additional family members or older children to hang out, but we do not recommend sleeping accommodations for young children in the lower level as it has its own entrances to the outside.
You will have to walk down some steps to access the docks on the lake. The water in the cove is deep and perfect for swimming, kayaking or docking your boat/jet skis. There is plenty of space as we have two private docks for your use.
The home is professionally cleaned and sanitized prior to your arrival. The sheets and comforters on the beds are washed in between guests, as well as towels and blankets. For your convenience, we provide these essentials for your stay; Bath towels, beach towels, hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, body wash, wood for fire pit and marshmallow roasting sticks. You will also find some basics in the home such as spices and oils. While we try to keep coffee stocked as well, we can’t guarantee and recommend picking some up before your trip :) We have a regular drip coffee pot.
There is plenty of space for families to spread out in this cottage!
Firefly Cottage is only a 10 minute drive from Food Lion and 15 minutes from Bridgewater Plaza, a hotspot for tourists to enjoy fine dining, arcade, live music, putt putt and other entertainment. Enjoy a boat or kayak ride to Jake’s Place restaurant on the water, or Bridgewater Plaza in just minutes as we are right down the cove from these amenities!
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

This SML place is perfect for fishing, swimming, kayaking, or simply relaxing on the dock. The stairs lead to the water, and the kayaks are already there. The two docks allow one kid to fish while the other kayaks. There’s a fire pit, hot tub, and gas grill, all easy to use. Note that the downstairs area is inaccessible from the main living area. Ideal for older kids or adults, but not for young kids alone. The clean house and property provided everything we needed. A nearby grocery store allowed us to cook most meals.

Love the amenities and lake view. The dock with the perfect weather and breeze was amazing! First time kayakers here, and was a fabulous venue for a first time (I, Mom, loved the purple kayak, claimed it! Haha). We loved the hot tub and game room! As well as our 18 yr old, one eyed, practically blind pup! She loved walking her circles in the space, sons loved the ping pong table and skee-ball! We all loved watching Ant-Man on the big tv. We would love to come back!!

This cottage was perfect for my husband and I. We loved relaxing on the deck and the dock, enjoyed seeing all of the wildlife (with daily visits from deer and herons) and chilling on the couch watching TV once it was too chilly to sit outside any longer. We did not use the game room but it looked like it would be perfect for a family with kids. We rented a pontoon boat one day and had no problems pulling up to the dock. I would not recommend bringing a trailer, but if you do, be sure to coordinate with Taylor ahead of time so you know where to park. The driveway is rather steep and gravel, not paved, so something to be aware of if you plan on traveling with motorcycles. Overall we had a lovely time! Taylor was very accommodating and easy to communicate with!

This little cottage is the cutest! My husband, sister, brother in law, their baby boy, and my self had the most wonderful week. The walk to the dock was easy and convenient. Our dogs loved it, as well! Taylor is super easy to get in touch with and very responsive to messages. By far the cleanest house we’ve stayed in. We will be booking again next year!

A great & serene Lake getaway
This property is beautiful and provided everything you could hope for in a SML weekend retreat. 2 private docks, fire pit, hot tub, and a beautiful space to relax. Lots of fun things to do on site and it was a perfect getaway. Host was very communicative and went above & beyond.

Fun, Convenient, Family-Friendly Lakefront Stay
We had a great time celebrating my birthday at this beautiful lake cottage. The home has no carpet which is great - its spacious, well-stocked, and full of thoughtful family-friendly touches like Guitar Hero, games including a ping pong table, and a hot tub. AC was GREAT, the beds were comfy, and the separate guest suite—with its own private entrance, bathroom, and kitchen—was a great option for extra space. The pull-out mattress is simple, but a very nice additional sleeping arrangement if needed!The outdoor space was a highlight—great docks, kayaks, floats, and firewood ready to go. We also rented a boat, and it was super easy and convenient to do so. The neighborhood was peaceful and minutes from Food Lion and the shopping center.The steps leading down to the lake are tiled and have a bit of movement, so just take your time. Not a big deal but the shower head in the main bathroom is positioned a little awkwardly—nothing major that impacted our overall enjoyment! Taylor was a wonderful and responsive host who made the experience pleasant from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this place for a fun, relaxing lake getaway!

Great spot for family weekend
Super easy to get to and get into Moneta/Bridgewater for anything you need or want. Food Lion is about 10 mins from the place if you need to do any real grocery shopping. The market at the entrance to the neighborhood had a good selection of drinks and snacks too.If you rent a boat at bridgewater it's probably a 10 min boat ride back to the dock. The docks are on deep water and really easy to pull into.The family & dog loved being on the water and being able to have a nice quite cove to swim in.The house is great, the boys loved having the game room to themselves. The downstairs has a separate entrance, so we called it their apartment and they got a kick out of that.

We rented this cabin for a family getaway for Memorial Day. Everything was exactly as the listing stated. The property was super clean and well appointed. The property is unique with a kitchen on both levels and a full bathroom in the the lower level game room area. The views are stunning and I enjoyed watching the sunrise on the dock

Peaceful Getaway
This was a wonderful home away from home for our family! We never left the house because there’s so much to do there- board games, game tables, hot tub, kayak, movies, fishing, etc. Everything was clean when we came in and there’s an abundance of towels! It has everything you could need- pots/pans, spices, coffee, all the essentials. We were able to catch little fish (blue gills) off the dock and even caught catfish (the highlight of our trip). We had two young kids with us (age 1 & 2) so the kid life vests for the dock came in very handy. We would absolutely come back!
