Treetop & Waterfront! Quiet Cove, Hot Tub, Kayaks, Game Room and more

Nestled on the slope of Smith Mountain Lake sits Firefly Cottage~ where the sky is lit up with stars and the fireflies dance over the water.

The cottage’s wraparound porch and windows offer beautiful lake and mountain views from nearly every room. The home has an open concept kitchen that allows you to enjoy the company of friends and family while preparing meals. There are multiple dining options including two dinner tables on the main level, a bistro on the porch, a picnic table on the patio and a bistro in the lower level. The cottage is unlike most others in that it has TWO full size kitchens and two docks on the lake.

Upon entry you will find the living room, two cozy bedrooms, a full bath with a beautiful tile shower, a washer and dryer for your convenience and the kitchen area fully stocked. Off of the back porch you will find stairs that lead you to a private, lower level perfect for family and children entertainment.

The lower level has its own private entrance, please note that it is accessible through the outside patio, so you will have to go outside to enter the game room area. It has a full bathroom with a dreamy freestanding tub, another full sized kitchen to prepare meals or store drinks, a foosball table, an arcade bowling game, a ping pong table, Wii console, XBOX 360 with a variety of games, a smart tv, and board games. For sleeping accommodations, there is a pullout couch that folds into a bed! This is the perfect area for additional family members or older children to hang out, but we do not recommend sleeping accommodations for young children in the lower level as it has its own entrances to the outside.

You will have to walk down some steps to access the docks on the lake. The water in the cove is deep and perfect for swimming, kayaking or docking your boat/jet skis. There is plenty of space as we have two private docks for your use.

The home is professionally cleaned and sanitized prior to your arrival. The sheets and comforters on the beds are washed in between guests, as well as towels and blankets. For your convenience, we provide these essentials for your stay;
Bath towels, beach towels, hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, body wash, wood for fire pit and marshmallow roasting sticks. You will also find some basics in the home such as spices and oils. While we try to keep coffee stocked as well, we can’t guarantee and recommend picking some up before your trip :) We have a regular drip coffee pot.

There is plenty of space for families to spread out in this cottage!

Firefly Cottage is only a 10 minute drive from Food Lion and 15 minutes from Bridgewater Plaza, a hotspot for tourists to enjoy fine dining, arcade, live music, putt putt and other entertainment. Enjoy a boat or kayak ride to Jake’s Place restaurant on the water, or Bridgewater Plaza in just minutes as we are right down the cove from these amenities!

This little cottage is the cutest! My husband, sister, brother in law, their baby boy, and my self had the most wonderful week. The walk to the dock was easy and convenient. Our dogs loved it, as well! Taylor is super easy to get in touch with and very responsive to messages. By far the cleanest house we’ve stayed in. We will be booking again next year!

Had a great stay with my kids. The house was clean and offered lots to do. There are great lake views and you're steps away from fishing, kayaking, or just relaxing on one of two docks. Overall, it was a great time and would stay again!

Unforgettable time away

Upon arrival we noticed everything was very clean. The view is great. We enjoyed sitting on the porch, the docks, and enjoying time in the hot tub. Each room having a smart TV for the kids was a bonus. They enjoyed time in the game room playing ping pong. Sitting by the campfire and making s’mores was a great way to end our days. We can’t wait to plan a trip back.

Peaceful Getaway

This was a wonderful home away from home for our family! We never left the house because there’s so much to do there- board games, game tables, hot tub, kayak, movies, fishing, etc. Everything was clean when we came in and there’s an abundance of towels! It has everything you could need- pots/pans, spices, coffee, all the essentials. We were able to catch little fish (blue gills) off the dock and even caught catfish (the highlight of our trip). We had two young kids with us (age 1 & 2) so the kid life vests for the dock came in very handy. We would absolutely come back!

This cottage was perfect for my husband and I. We loved relaxing on the deck and the dock, enjoyed seeing all of the wildlife (with daily visits from deer and herons) and chilling on the couch watching TV once it was too chilly to sit outside any longer. We did not use the game room but it looked like it would be perfect for a family with kids. We rented a pontoon boat one day and had no problems pulling up to the dock. I would not recommend bringing a trailer, but if you do, be sure to coordinate with Taylor ahead of time so you know where to park. The driveway is rather steep and gravel, not paved, so something to be aware of if you plan on traveling with motorcycles. Overall we had a lovely time! Taylor was very accommodating and easy to communicate with!

Great place to unwind

My three kids and I loved staying here! It had everything that we needed to relax for a weekend getaway. The kitchen was well stocked, there were soooo many towels, and this is the only rental I have stayed in that finally has enough hooks for hanging everyone’s towels ;). I was also impressed that most of the life jackets for the kayaks were kept inside hanging neatly in the closet, so they were in great shape. Would definitely stay here again!
