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.

Dining on food fresh off the barbeque out on the deck to the accompaniment of a spectacular sunset, a troop of deer passing by and the song of various birds...What's not to like. We were looking forward to peace and quiet and found it. What followed our arrival was an acquaintance with indolence. Want some activity? Swim off the pier or rent a pontoon boat for a day and take a trip up the lake. Lovely house, lovely host. Lovely stay.

Great getaway spot

It was a great location to view the lake, and amazing sunsets! We had a great time here, even though the weather didn't cooperate for using the kayaks. There is a lot to do around the lake, and we didn't have any issues finding good places to eat nearby.

Nice cabin

Overall a nice cabin with a full beautiful sunset view. Only real issue for me was the parking for the truck and trailer. Also the North wind almost ruined my boat. That has nothing to do with the owner of the property. This was all mother nature and hernfury. Just a warning if you want to leaveb your boat at the dock. You can pay to leave it at Parkway Marina overnight @ 25 a night which isn't that bad. Again this is a older cabin type of place thats super quiet and very private. There is no traffic at all hardly. Highly recommend this house if you want beautiful sunsets and privacy.

Everything was great except the trash disposal. Finding a dumpster, Bedford County dump, was interesting with multiple trash bags in our car. I guess the summer includes trash service. Everything else was very good.

A Great Escape

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!

Great Weekend Escape

We very much enjoyed our time at this property. Although it was an older home, it had some more recent updates that made the stay nice such as the mini split wall units and some kitchen appliance upgrades. The area was so quiet, peaceful, and full of wildlife! We saw multiple deer daily on our morning walks down the road and around the property! The heat this summer has been rough, and we used the ac units as well to cool the house down. The window unit filters had not been cleaned in a while and were clogged but we let Laura know and she was very attentive and helpful. Be aware if you are bringing your own boat, there is very little room to get turned around with a large truck and trailer when arriving as the property is near the end of a private road and don’t have a lot of room to get turned around. You are better off driving straight to the marina which is at the end of the road and then driving the trailer back to the house or just park directly at the marina. Parking at the house is very tight and will require some special maneuvering once you are back to the house. The wooden stairs down to the dock have seen better days and were very steep. A little concerning with smaller kids, but they did well after a few warnings. We did enjoy using some of the paddle boards that were at the property, those were a hit with the kids! Overall it as a great weekend away, we very much enjoyed our stay!

Great sunsets!

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.
