Love Sunsets? Glory in a natural, cozy, rustic setting

This cabin is a Family Treasure. Built as the original vacation cabin on Island Lane, road created by my Dad (retired professor from UVA) fifty years ago. Great Smith Mountain Lake location! Right on the main channel adjacent to lake marker R-8 where the Roanoke and Blackwater Rivers meet.

Recently renovated 1st floor, kitchen & bathroom. Expansive lake view with exquisite sunsets are yours for the taking. Peek at the lake from every window direction, face the lake from the deck (like on a boat, and could step out into the water) and just a few steps below will take you to a private stationary dock, where boats can be parked. A few steps up off the upper deck will lead you to perfect views of the July 4th holiday fireworks from Saunders Parkway Marina. Brand new upgrade features a double mini-split ductless heat pump system provides clean, efficient AC, and heat. Please note: Vacation rental guests do bring their own Bed linens and Towels.

Place was quiet and secluded, which was very nice. Miss Laura was easily accessible via VRBO chat. Great location on the lake

A nice quiet escape to the lake. Enjoyed taking our paddle boards out and swimming daily. Relatively close to stores and restaurants. Beware of the mosquitoes…they were brutal one evening and got like 20 bites in 10 minutes!

Absolutely gorgeous setting and views everywhere, incredible swimming right off the dock, and a rustic home, not fancy or modern but with everything you need.

We absolutely loved your place! I wish I had done research on the area so my boys could have brought our boat! I was more focused on securing a place to stay for the graduation that was reasonably priced. Everything listed on the website was accurate and a perfect getaway for our graduate!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The deck and dock were our favorite hang outs! Sunsets delivered as promised! Definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet relaxing getaway

A few weeks late in reviewing this comfy and quaint cottage; a perfect refuge from the heat and noise of suburban living. The sunsets were spectacular, yes! as was the night skies that ensued. The cottage is nestled in a small sheltered cove providing privacy for swimming, my favorite exercise. Seeing Osprey and Herons was an unexpected gift. Everything I needed was provided by the host ,and she was quick to respond when I had a question or two about this and that. I can’t wait to return!

The cabin was beautiful and the view was amazing. We loved watching the sun set from the dock and had great fishing the whole time there. Will definitely be staying again in the future.

We had a relaxing weekend, loved being on the lake with the beautiful views. Enjoyed being in a cozy cottage, as we prefer cabins and cottages over the more fancy, palatial places!

First time visitor to SML. Very comfortable and private location. Close to restaurants and grocery stores.

The home is located on the lake in a cove which was nice. We like to walk several miles a day with our dog so the SML State Park was conveniently 3 miles away. The deck and outdoor dining area is large. The yard is a bit overgrown. We had good weather 2 of our 3 evenings there and watched the gorgeous sunset. Only the sit-in kayak will hold anyone over 150 lbs. Ants were a persistent problem on the kitchen counter area.

What a wonderful few days on SML! The cabin is quaint and tucked away in a quiet area which was perfect for us to celebrate our anniversary. Laura was wonderful to work with and quick to respond to any questions. Our well behaved lab enjoyed the dock and there was enough space in the second floor/street-side room for us to set up her crate. The view from the back deck was great and we saw many osprey flying nearby. We would definitely stay here again!

I come to SML every year for a fall retreat, and this was by far the best place I've stayed! Beautiful, quiet, peaceful location - amazing lake views from the cabin. The cabin is cozy and charming. I enjoyed every second! Perfect spot for a rest from city-life!

This lake house is great. It is in a very quiet area on the water. It was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. We would definitely stay there again.

Great Property with beautiful views and amazing lake access; needs a little bit of updating but overall great experience.

This was a really love place to spend a few days - the dock is just down a staircase and you can jump right in and swim. Our kids loved the unfettered access to the lake and we loved the quiet.

We had a great week with this place being our home base for boating, hiking, and mountain biking, along with the built in fun of hanging out on the dock and reading/sunning/jumping/ swimming and watching the amazing sunsets from this perfectly situated spot on the lake. Our host was very responsive and great to work with. We would definitely stay here again (and hopefully will soon)!

This house has just about everything we need. We enjoyed the Netflix movies. However, it's a bit old with an old house odor. The previous guests didn't wash the dishes, which are in the dishwasher but dishes are dirty. And a screen window fell from the 2nd floor, which could be dangerous. The AC in the master bedroom is too noisy.

The house is in such a wonderful location! We rented a boat and were able to pull in and out with ease. The neighborhood is beautiful, and neighbors are friendly. Even though it's a more "rustic" house it still had everything we need including a washer and dryer, which is a must for us. :)
