Crabtree Falls Mountain Hollow Guesthouse
This little retreat is so peaceful and serene. It's the perfect place to unplug and just soak up the nature. The apartment was cozy and had all the right touches to make you feel at home.

Asylum at the Lake - Unit 306
Very modern interior with a peaceful deck overlooking the lake. Extremely accommodating host (we were traveling with an infant). Place has everything you could need (cookware, utensils, tea/coffee, etc.) - would recommend :)

Secluded historic paradise on the James River
It’s really hard to say adequately how wonderful our stay here was. We were here for our son’s college graduation & military commissioning at Liberty University, which is only about a 15 minute drive but feels worlds away from the chaos of the graduation. We almost didn’t consider this place because of having to share a bathroom with 3 teenagers. But the bathroom was so large, incredibly clean, & had so many towels & towel racks it didn’t feel difficult at all. I sat out on the front porch or on the Adirondack chairs every day. And our family used the covered patio area they built off to the side for several meals with extended family that would pop by. Mike & Alice are fantastic hosts. My husband’s favorite part with how friendly response if they were with anything that we desired, even restocking the waters. I loved the history they put together about the house. It really is such a great place and made our trip incredibly special. So special it may ruin every other Airbnb for us.

Cosy Lakefront Condo
A great little place to stay at Smith Mountain Lake. My husband and I stayed for Memorial Day weekend and it was the perfect location to the state park. We were very comfortable and the bed was great! We also had a cold rainy day so we took advantage of the indoor pool and hot tub. Will definitely stay here again!

Cozy condo at SML in Moneta, VA
Perfect for a cozy get away. Clean and cute. The beds and linens were super comfortable! Wish I had more time to enjoy the location and tranquility! Shandi was an awesome host! Thank you!

Lakeside Oak Lodge
We had a fantastic experience during our stay! Gwendolyn was a pleasure to work with, and the home was immaculate and exactly as described. The surroundings are picturesque and peaceful. We will definitely stay here again!

Lakefront Condo Bridgewater Marina Waterfront
My sister and neice and I stayed at Key To Stay's condo for 2 nights in February. I had previously stayed at that same condo in November. I originally gave this condo a great review, which is why we rented it again. This visit had a few maintenance issues, but they were eventually resolved and Key To Stay made sure to reach out to me personally to make sure we were satisfied. I do appreciate their commitment to making sure they improve the guest experience. I will definitely be staying here again after the wonderful customer service. The location is beautiful, the lake view can't be beat. The area has some great places to eat also.

Hillside Haven
We love Peggy’s place. The view is wonderful, and everything well apportioned. This is our second stay and would gladly visit again.

Waterfront with Waterside, Diving Board & Arcade
The property was lovely and had the most beautiful views. I first thought it was too small, but it was perfect! Stacia and her team were so responsive, and the property was super clean. We spent most of our time on the dock or deck, enjoying the view and the wild life. The kitchen had great space for meals and everything we needed. The basement was perfect for playing cards, and the pac man game was my sister’s favorite! What a great place on the lake!

Gorgeous Lakefront Cabin Resort: 5400sqft 6BR, 5ba
Amazing lake home in a secluded neighborhood. This property is perfect for families! The basement provided numerous options with a pool table, table tennis and large variety of arcade games. The boat dock had a number of kayaks, paddles boards and was perfect for fishing. A short drive into town for groceries and supplies, as well as local restaurants to enjoy.

Riverside Retreat
The cabin was clean, river access was great, and it's close to downtown Lynchburg with just a few minutes of driving. Matthew was accomodating with our arrival time due to some last minute changes on our end and we were grateful for that. I'd stay again if visiting the area.

Enjoy the 60 acre retreat and get away from it all
Amy’s place was a true hidden gem, beautiful property, 60 acres of country living and privacy to roam, yet all the comforts of home in the house itself. Kitchen was super clean with modern appliances, with everything you might need to make meals. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and exactly what we needed, the kids especially loved having their own rooms, and their own separate section of the house! Our dog enjoyed every minute of off-leash time, exploring the woods, trails, and favorite place by far, the creek! Amy was very responsive and messaged with us back and forth before, during and after our stay. Town is not too far away with restaurants and activities, and Amy was quick to offer suggestions. All in all a great, memory-making trip, and we hope to come back to visit again soon!

Lakehouse on Leesville Lake in Bedford County VA
We had a wonderful 4 day stay at Dannie & Nancy's home. We are a family of 6: dad, mom, and 4 boys ages 3- 17. What we enjoyed most was how peaceful and remote the setting was. We saw a couple boats go by each day, but other than that and some wildlife (deer, various birds, and a baby bear were spotted!) we were totally alone. What sold us on this home vs. the others is the use of the canoe, kayas, paddle board and peddle boat plus all the various sizes of lifejackets. This made it so much fun for each person in our family to get out and enjoy the lake. I enjoyed paddling the kayak for exercise and enjoyment, and my husband and sons took various boats out to fish. They caught white bass, blue catfish (one pretty large), lots of bluegill, a shad, white perch, and several channel catfish. We really enjoyed being right near the water. We also made use of the firepit each night. Dannie & Nancy were always available when we had questions.

Lakehome with HotTub Fireplace Theater & Game Room
This place is awesome! It rained most of the time we were there, but with all the amenities there was plenty for us to do around the house. The dock is awesome, and it’s on a nice, quiet, spot on the lake. We hope to be back in the future!

River Cottage-Upscale countryhome Cowpasture River
Thank you Joan! We had a wonderful stay as we celebrated our daughter’s graduation. The home was exactly as described and was very comfortable.

The Gate House - Lake Views and Private Cove
Spacious, beautiful home perfect for groups! Highlights include stunning views, a well-stocked kitchen, fun basement game room, multiple areas to sit and relax outside, and ability to rent and dock a boat at the home throughout your stay. During this lake vacation we had a ball swimming, fishing, kayaking, boating to restaurants, and ordering treats from the ice cream boat! Some reviews mention run down houses on the private road leading up to Kate's home. Just respect the 15mph speed limit and the neighbors are quite friendly. We spoke to one who was out gardening and told us about Moneta before the lake was built! If you're eager for a lake vacation, this is the place!

Beautiful Bluff Walk Condo!
We loved our stay, had everything we needed. The home is newer and was clean, spacious and very nicely decorated. The view is simply lovely. We were in town for a wedding but plan on coming back and could not imagine staying anywhere else. Great coffee shops, restaurants, shops, parks, trails and even farmers market are walkable from Angel’s home.

Smith Mountain Lake Getaway
Perfect for dog lovers and lake lovers! I’ve rented various condos at Smith Mountain Lake and several different ones at Stripers Landing, but Shannon’s place is now my new favorite. With a great view, plenty of space and the option to bring the pup - it’s such a treat. Highly recommend.

Cozy Contemporary Comfort Studio SML,VA
I have to be completely honest this is probably one of the nicest and most peaceful locations. I have stayed at in my many years of traveling in Airbnb. I definitely plan to come back just to enjoy the lake and amenities. Unfortunately, I was there more for business to attend my Liberty University Commencement and being at Lynchburg locations check up their price for graduation, I was forced to stay 50 minutes away. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I never had Huddleston, VA on my radar, and it’s an extremely beautiful drive and hidden gem! I’m looking forward to spending a few days in the future and Laura and Stephen were actually some of the nicest and kindest hosts I have ever met on AirBnB. They were both very responsive. I didn’t have to wait very long to get in touch with them and gave me some great information locally as well as assistance when I needed it. HIGHLY recommend. It’s cosy, like a large hotel room sized condo that has everything you need to unwind.

Moondance at Bernard’s Landing
we had a peaceful and relaxing time. Kathleen's place is very clean, comfortable and has a great view. we hope to stay there again. thank you.

Dock Holiday at Bernard's Landing
One of my daughters and I stayed at Matt's listing to just get away and be together. It was a wonderful stay! A very easy walk to a private and lovely beach area. Easy access to 2 great pools, a hot tub, sauna and even racquetball court. Our time inside Matt's space was equally as relaxing. Simple and comfortable decorations, all things desired were easy to find. Even had a dishwasher - that was a treat! It was great to have the top floor as the view was fabulous. Top floor did mean taking a few stairs, but that was not at all a big deal. We hope that Matt was satisfied with our stay, because we would LOVE to return (and other daughters are hoping they get to go :)!

Tranquility Cove Condo at Smith Mountain Lake
This was a wonderful place to stay! Mary Anne was incredibly responsive and helpful at all times. The place and surrounding area was peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend!

Lakefront Condo Resort - Amazing Views & Amenities
Judy was very responsive leading up to and throughout our stay. Her place was very nice and a welcome respite for our family. The pool is a few steps from the condo and looks out on the lake, providing a very calming experience. Would stay there again.

Lake Escape - Smith Mountain Lake Condo
We’ve stayed here several years in a row. Place is always spotless and welcoming. We love the corner unit. Very convenient for boat docking.
