Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Smith Mountain Lake

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.

One of the best if not the best AirB&b I’ve experienced in the states. Amazing new construction with ample space and great natural light. Every room in the house was spectacular with great amenities. My family felt right at home from day one. Location was as perfect for what we were looking for and surroundings were beautiful and private. Brandon is the cherry on top with great communication and clear instructions. Brandon fixed a scheduling issue with in the day of booking. Brandon was honest, understanding, and respectful during the resolution. I can’t recommend this home enough for your next SML trip.

We absolutely loved this old but completely updated cabin! The history was so interesting!! Home was very comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed the hot tub and especially the upstairs game room!! Highly recommend and would definitely stay there again!!!

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.

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!

My family really enjoyed our stay.The house was immaculate and well stocked.The fire pit was a great hit as were the Kyacks and paddle board. The house is close to SML state park which we went to a number of times. the ping pong table and game room was also a hit.Megan is a very responsive host!

We had a Wonderful time at Rachel's Lake Seclusion!!!! It is a beatifull place. My whole family enjoyed the home. Kayaking and paddle boarding were awesome at the river dock. The views are spectacular!!! Rachael is a great host.

What an extraordinary property. I read prior reviews and a lot of people were bent out of shape because the property is not updated. I think it is important to know the story behind any property. Simply put, this property is for family vacations, a place where they can share time and experiences with each other - including their grandkids. There was not a tv in every room of the house. There was only one tv in the downstairs rec room. I do regret that my time there was very short as I wanted to read the reading materials, play their games, especially the fooz ball table downstairs. In spite of the bed in the front room that overlooks the lake was highly uncomfortable, to the point my husband slept downstairs in a daybed, the view that greeted me in the morning was spectacular. Common sense advice: bring your own comfy pillows for the bed, avoid outdoors at dusk due to the mosquitos, and book this rental to have that quintessential time engaging with your family, old-school style!

The house was absolutely spotless and beautifully decorated. Beds were comfortable. Walkable area to some local restaurants. The only issue we had was that the neighbors pounded on the wall late at night and we got a message that we were too loud despite just talking in the living room. We thought we were respecting the quiet hours but be aware the walls are paper thin. The hosts were gracious about it so I still wanted to give 5 stars as the place was perfect otherwise.

I really enjoyed my stay . It’s the perfect location to enjoy the downtown area within walking distance. A classic breakfast sandwich just a few feet away and coffee across the street. It was super clean and comfortable:)

We had a wonderful stay! The hosts were incredibly nice, responsive, and personable; they made us feel genuinely welcomed from the start. Communication was easy, and they were quick to respond to any questions we had. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. You can tell they really care about their guests. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place with a personal touch!

Accommodations as described PLUS, the bed is unbelievably comfortable. We slept soundly every night and woke up refreshed. We were able to enjoy great family time in this cozy space. The location was superb with all of our activities ( pickleball, beach volleyball, bowling, Sam’s Club and Kroger) all within 15 minutes. If Paul’s place is available we will stay here again. Thankful for an exceptional stay!

This is a beautiful home, and clean! And the host is very responsive! We enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful place to stay! Easy walk to downtown & parks. James is an excellent host.

This was a great experience. It was the perfect place to relax with great food within walking distance as well

Jamie was very responsive and kind!! Enjoyed my stay here, struggled with bug bites from some of the bedding but the stay was really nice overall and was spacious and clean.

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.

We highly recommend Armand and Amanda! This condo and the amenities are wonderful. We have nothing but great things to say-the condo was very clean, quiet, and safe.

This was a great place to stay for our first time visiting SML! Beautiful views and very comfortable. Only 10 min drive to the grocery store, which is good for this area.

Great stay. Cute condo right above restaurant and store. Brought my SUP and used it a lot. Lots to do at Mariner’s landing. Great food and service at The Landing, Bruno’s and Bottles and Bites. State Park 7 minutes away is excellent for hiking. Lots of friendly neighbors! We’re ready to go back!!

Fantastic hosts!! Quick to respond and easy to work with. Room is even prettier than pictures and is so close to the water. We spent most of our time on the covered porch. Bed is super comfy and furnishings are very pretty. Everything you need is provided. Area is quiet and relaxing!! Heated pool was so nice and has a great view of the water. Kayaks were light so they were easy to get in and out of the water. A beautiful location perfect for a quiet getaway. Would definitely stay here again!!

This place was a perfect fit for our family. We enjoyed the clean space and most importantly the view of the lake and pool! We will definitely be back.

Needed a last minute stay for my family including a dog, Eva was incredibly responsive and helpful. Truly grateful ☺️

We found this getaway to be so peaceful! We loved how clean the place was ! We are already looking forward to another trip ! Minus the kids ! The kids had a blast as well ! Lots to do !
