GregRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This is, without a doubt, my favorite Airbnb. Everything is exactly as advertised and, having to stay here twice, I could tell you that it’s one of the better experiences at any overnight accommodation. I highly recommend it and I would go back again and again.

Cardinal Cove: Waterfront Kayaks Firepit Boatslip

CraigRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Loved our visit. So nice being on the lake, easy access to kayaks and fire pit right by the lake. Irene was very welcoming and let us do our thing and gave us a lot of space. The lake access was a huge selling point for the place. Would definitely return.

Over the Top - Entire Apartment In Thomas

DavidRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Overall great experience. Well stocked with essentials, even had a first aid kit that we needed bandaid!!! I appreciated the coffee being available as we forgot to check which type of coffee maker they had. The place was clean and easy to find and get in. While they talk about the noise from the coffee shop below, that wasn’t very bothersome. A minor detail we noticed a stain on one of the bedroom’s comforter.

Turkeyfoot Wisteria Apartment

DianeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I had an outstanding stay at this Airbnb! This is my second stay and Diana’s home is exceptionally clean. It’s beautifully appointed with everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Nestled in a peaceful natural setting near the river, it offered the perfect combination of seclusion and convenience. The large deck was a highlight—spacious, well-furnished, and equipped with grills, making it a great spot to unwind after a day of biking or exploring. The property is a short ride into town off the GAP bike path, which made it incredibly easy to get out and enjoy the surrounding scenery. Despite its quiet location, it’s just a short walk to a fantastic coffee shop (don’t miss the scones at the Tissue Farm !) and several excellent restaurants. This place truly offers the best of both worlds—tranquility and accessibility. I highly recommend it and would gladly return!

Harry’s River View couples relax, historic town

MariateresaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Driving back from the funeral of a favorite Uncle and dealing with family drama my soul was craving peace, comfort and a respite from everything for a bit. I found that respite in this Air BnB. The river view was blissful and everything was as described, no hassle and no surprises. Here are some things that I hope the reader finds helpful. 1) You can get the keys from the back porch entrance but bring your luggage up thru the carport door or the front don't try to bring your luggage up that spiral staircase. 2) Bring any silverware you may need and a coffee stirrer 3) The device to the side of the bed IS NOT THE AC CONTROL, lol it is the sleep number bed remote. Check that both sides are set to the same setting before getting into bed. Fun fact: Another guest must have thought it would be funny to switch one side on high and the other side on low. The bed sags on one side if you do that. It was so peaceful, I loved it. She couldn't have been more sweet and delightful.

Little River Escape-Hot Tub -River Front-Fishing

CaseyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I wish I could back 1000 times over. Everything was fully stocked beyond expectations. We had such a good time with the neighbors cats who came to visit us every day by the fire pit. We loved the quiet home it was everything we were looking for and more. Would recommend this to anyone going to the area. Lots of fun things to do near by the national park, caverns & apple house. Couldn’t beat this trip if I tried. I can’t thank the host enough for a great experience. We didn’t want to leave lol.

We loved our short stay at Mason’s place!! We needed a peaceful getaway to just relax and it’s exactly what we needed. The hot tub was amazing, and we hiked all around the property and campgrounds!

Scenic riverfront escape | Cozy family space

LaurenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This is our second year here for Memorial Day weekend and it was just as great as the first! Hap and Jennie are communicative and responsive to any questions we had. We enjoyed kayaking and boating on the river, hiking and relaxing on the porch and by the fire. The accommodations are comfortable and nice for our family (3 kids and 4 adults and a dog). The kitchen is the most well stocked air bnb I have ever seen! We cannot wait to return

Cabin with Private Waterfront, On River, Fast Wifi

AnitaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
A nearly perfect stay - We had a wonderful stay at this cozy Airbnb tucked away in the woods near the Shenandoah River. The setting was peaceful and scenic—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The home was impressively well-stocked with everything from cooking essentials to medical supplies and even female hygiene products, which was a thoughtful touch. We did run into a couple of technical issues with the HVAC not cooling and the ceiling fan not working. However, the hosts were incredibly responsive and sent someone out as soon as possible to address it, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a nearly perfect stay, and we’d happily return!

River House: A Cozy Mountain Getaway

LoisRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Overall we had a wonderful time at Jennifer and Rodney’s place. It was exactly as described and well maintained. We especially enjoyed the time spent on the back porch and around the fire pit. Unfortunately the weather was not very cooperative and we were not able to get out and enjoy the trails as much as we would have liked. Also we were 1 week too early and most attractions in the area were not operating during the week days. I was concerned about getting a good sleep on the mattress but managed to sleep through each night. I would recommend that anyone wanting to cook something without it sticking to the well worn pans bring along their own as the ones in the kitchen are well past their prime. Thank you Jennifer and Rodney for providing this great getaway spot.

Beautiful Bluff Walk Condo!

DarcieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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.

One Particular Harbor at Smith Mountain Lake

AlmaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Leslie was very responsive and very hospitable. It was a last minute trip and Leslie was able to accommodate. Even though the studio was small it had everything I needed for a quick get away. The area around the condo was beautifully maintained. It was close to the State Park which was nice because that was what brought me to the area. The people at the condos were very friendly. I would definitely stay again.

Lakefront Condo w/ Free Resort Amenities at SML!

MarshaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A very peaceful spot. The place was excellent. Very spacious and clean. Lots of fluffy towels and linens. Comfy beds. We arrived late and got confused with the two different locks in the dark, but management was very helpful and fast to respond, and we got in just fine. We looked in at the pool and gym one rainy day, but did not try them out. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat, this is it. Would stay again.

NEW, CLEAN - Belle's Boat Haven in SML

AshleyRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This place had everything we needed. It is very clean. The only thing we were wanting was an extra blanket. There is a throw there, but we enjoy more covers on a bed. All in all, it was wonderful. The instructions were very clear from the owners and the amenities are amazing. Everyone was very friendly that worked there. We will be visiting Mariners Landing again, hopefully soon!

Landlocked@DCL Lakefront with Dock, and Pool

ErinRating, 5 stars1 day ago
We were very pleased with this condo and the hosts. The appliances, dishes, cookware, bedding, towels, decor, furniture and little balcony were all top notch. They even provided snacks, k-cups, and specialty teas for us. The s’more kit was a neat welcome too. There were even high end shampoo/conditioner/body wash provided for us. An added bonus was that the condo was on ground level ~no stairs~! This made access easy for our littles. It was perfect for our little family. We had an issue with the fob for the pool gate and they were quick to resolve the issue. We spent a lot of time out on the balcony. The chairs were super comfy and they even provided a candle that added to the ambience of being outside. This is the best Airbnb I have stayed at. The hosts get ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. We will definitely book with them again in the future and highly recommend Jason and Sarah and their beautiful little condo.

Lakefront Condo: 2 Free Kayaks! Hot Tub & Pools

KimRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This rental is in a resort area and is quite lovely. We enjoyed being on the main level and it was terrific to have the spacious bedrooms on the same floor as the 2 nice size bathrooms. In the mornings we drank coffee on the screened in porch and evenigs on the covered deck. Both places provide peaceful water settings. The kitchen was large and well equiped. Dining was comfortable and the living room beautiful. Ceiling fans are throughout. The 3 restaurants are a must! What a fabulous vacation, 2 thumbs up.
