Beautiful and relaxing lake home

We had a fantastic time at Kurt and Nancy's gorgeous lake home. This is one of the nicer VRBO rentals we have stayed in. Super clean, comfy beds, kitchen was very well equipped, amazing screened in patio overlooking the lake, and a fantastic dock to hang out. Very close to Smith Mountain Lake for nice hiking! We highly recommend staying here.

Best VRBO We've Ever Rented!

The SML Retreat was the best overall VRBO we've stayed at in the entire country, offering modern luxury and incredible views of Smith Mountain Lake. The layout was perfect for our family of three adult couples, offering both gathering places for everyone (living/dining room, back porch, and the awesome dock on the water), as well as separate private areas for sleeping and remote work. It would also work well for families with kids of any age. The house was extremely well stocked with linens/towels, kitchen utensils, kitchen/bath supplies, and outdoor grill and dining/seating space. A particular highlight was the boat dock, which offered covered and uncovered seating, two kayaks & two standup paddle boards with life vests, refrigerator & bar, and space for a rental boat or jet ski. The communication with Kurt was outstanding and very timely, and we can't wait to come back to this awesome property again next year!

Excellent Stay in SML

Our family has enjoyed Smith Mountain Lake for a number of years. This property was exceptional - clean, well furnished, and stocked with everything you need for vacation. The house was great - we really enjoyed the screened-in porch, fire pit, and the boat dock. The kids particularly enjoyed the separate bunk house to hang out as well. Kurt was super receptive to any questions and we'd recommend to any family looking to explore/enjoy SML.
