Family-friendly vacation rentals in Smith Mountain Lake

We stayed at The Frances home July 6th thru July 13th, 2024. The house is so much nicer in person, the pictures just don't it justice. The beds were fine, the kitchen is well stocked and the place was very clean. Tons of room on the lower level to spread out and enjoy the pool table and ping pong. The lot is sloped but not too steep and they have a very nice, concrete walkway. The owners allow use of their kayaks, canoe and tiki hut on the dock. The hot tub on the lower deck was a great way to relax and enjoy the lake view. The house is in a no wake cove and just across the water from Jake's Place. Super close to the SML bridge and Bridgewater marina. Jake's has a restaurant, camper park and beach area with a slide. They do provide internet although we struggled many times with the connections, just power cycled their router and it was back up and running. T-mobile is the provider, I believe. The one major negative is no trash service, not even trash cans. Gotta fix that...

Nancy’s place met all expectations. Great amenities. Comfort and space excellent. Perfect place to work, play and relax. Great view. Loved hanging on the decks and dock. Everything was easy and comfortable. Highly recommend. We loved our stay.

Great stay! All bedrooms are super comfy and well sized, the dock is so fun and well set up for hanging out. We loved all the games inside the house and the kayaks. Nice big kitchen and great outdoor dining options. Perfect for a weekend trip with our group of adults and children.

Quaint and peaceful place perfect for a long weekend gateway! Alicia is a very responsive host that quickly addressed a couple of minor issues at check-in. We ate a couple of times at the golf club’s restaurant nearby (~10min away, good food) and ordered in from a local pizzeria for our last night at the lodge (Alessandro’s). Highly recommend this place.

Ms. Michelle hosted my team as we were in town for a tournament and we thoroughly enjoyed the large space with the nice bedrooms, spacious living rooms, and the hot tub. We had access to everything we needed, with Ms. Michelle even getting some extra towels for us. A great stay!

A peaceful location with a spacious fenced yard made it the perfect place to stay for our son’s wedding weekend in Bedford.

Fantastic little hidden cabin that met all of our needs. We loved that it was dog friendly and isolated enough we didnt have to worry about a leash. The solar driveway lights were a great touch as we arrived late. The creek was a lovely suprise, larger than expected. The driveway is gravel and long, tucked in just like we like! Nice decks and seating areas to enjoy the view.

We really enjoyed our stay. Robert & Donna were great hosts, very responsive and went out of their way to make us feel right at home. It was the perfect stay for Graduation at Liberty University.

Charming, comfortable and welcoming place. Host was very responsive and the place fit our needs perfectly.

Stephen’s description of the place and video of parking was perfect! He was very responsive and helpful. The location is great and walkable to many local restaurants.

Very nice place- tranquil and peaceful- we were there for a graduation in Lynchburg- was great to be staying in an area that was not congested. Scenery is beautiful. The efficiency was the right size for us. Ability to bring our small dog was an added bonus

Neil was a great host. Very responsive and gave clear instructions. Will definitely like to come back.

Kelli was very nice and very helpful.Very clean establishment. Thank you for your hospitality

Staying with Mr Jane was a pleasure. The location was perfect, the apartment was cozy and spotless. The place was well-equipped and the beds were surprisingly comfortable. This is a peaceful downstairs apartment with private entry and beautiful backyard with swimming pool. Mrs Jane was always available to answer our questions. unforgettable experience! Highly recommended!" 

Great location at Bernard’s Landing - right next to the club house with the pool and other amenities. Very large space that could easily accommodate 4 couples. Would definitely stay here again!

It was super cute and close to plenty of things to do. Also a nice little view of the water, which we loved!

Great place to stay. Easy access and everything was clean and in order We would stay here again
