The host was welcoming and very responsive. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and the kids liked that they got the same size bed in each of their rooms. The house was the perfect size for a quick trip to the lake with our kids and dogs!
Beautiful lakefront property stocked with everything we needed for an amazing week! The house was conveniently located to shopping and entertainment. We enjoyed fishing and swimming in the lake.
John was a great host, kept us informed and answered our question promptly. The hose was perfect! We really enjoyed our stay. One word of caution, when driving at night be careful, there are deer everywhere!! Coming up the road to the house every night we would see 10-20 deer. They even come in the yard. We loved it! Would definitely recommend this stay.
House was very clean and had everything we needed. Owner reached out to make sure we arrived and to let us know he was available for any questions or concerns. House is in convenient location for grocery shopping and eating out.
We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy Smith Mountain Lake home! Being able to see the water from both sides of the house made the setting feel peaceful. The beds were very comfortable, and while the place was small, it was incredibly cozy. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the home was close to grocery stores and state parks. The decor was cute and thoughtfully done. The only small negative was that the shower pressure in the main bathroom could be better, but it didnât affect our stay. The hot tub and fire pit are a perfect addition to the home and we would have loved to use them if the weather had been a bit warmer. This was the perfect location to ring in the New Year.
Had a great stay. Everything was as advertised and was perfect for our 2 dogs. A quiet neighborhood with dock/lake access. We used the kayaks and the outdoor deck the most. Amy was very responsive and had no problems.
In July 2025 we had a wonderful stay Surfside Cottage. The owner was very easy to work with and always quick to respond. We made full use of the entire property including the hot tub, fire pit and mostly the lake. We had rented a pontoon boat for four days and the the dock was perfect for docking the boat at night. We will definitely be returning to Smith Mt Lake and would definitely return to this property. My only comment is, the dock could use a little TLC (needs painting). Overall we had an amazing time.
Property was exactly as pictured. Loved the open floor plan. Great location and being able to get to places on or off the water.
Amy was always readily available if anything arose.
My favorite area was the front porch which was covered and I loved sitting out there and listening or watching it rain.
Also could get to the dock rather easily with the house being close to the water.
Would definitely stay here again!
The house was great. The beds and couches were very comfortable. Loved the access to the lake. Nice touch with a kayak and canoe which was fun. My pug was happy. Kitchen was open and provided all the things we needed to cook and provide storage. The only thing that was lacking was the hot tub never really got hot. Even on the last night, it only got to 98 degrees. I appreciate the attentiveness and helpfulness of the host in trying to get it right. He always responded whenever I asked a question within minutes. I would recommend this property if you want to just relax or do the multiple activities that the lake provides. Close to great restaurants and two wineries makes it a perfect getaway. Very happy with the experience.
My family and I spent the week at Surfside and couldnât have been happier with our stay. The owner (John) was very communicative and easily accessible. The accommodations were perfect for the goal of our vacation, to relax. The house is located at the end of a cove and had no traffic other than the next door neighbor, which we only saw in the weekend. The deck was my favorite part. Waking up to enjoy a cup of coffee while sitting on the outdoor furniture was perfection. Lastly, I truly appreciated the attention to detail through the property. Small things such as bags, Tupperware, and seasonings were all provided. That is such a blessing as I inevitably forget something basic on trips. I will definitely be staying again!
