Recent Smith Mountain Lake guest reviews

We had an amazing stay at this lake house and can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true home away from home. The house is beautifully maintained, incredibly clean, and very well stocked with everything you could possibly need—kitchen essentials, comfortable furniture, and thoughtful touches throughout. One of the biggest highlights for us was how spacious it is. We stayed with three families (15 people total!) and never once felt crowded. There’s plenty of room for kids to play, adults to relax, and everyone to spread out comfortably while still enjoying time together. The lake views and access were fantastic and made for the perfect setting to unwind, whether it was morning coffee or evenings spent together. And for dog owners—this place is a dream! It’s truly dog-friendly, which made the trip even better since our pup was able to enjoy the vacation right along with us. You can tell the owners really care about their guests’ experience. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, and it made our stay completely stress-free. This is the kind of place you want to return to year after year. We’re already talking about booking again! If you’re looking for a spacious, comfortable, family- and dog-friendly lake house, this is it. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Osprey Cove was the perfect location for our family gathering! The rooms were pristine, spacious and lovely just like the pictures. We spent the evenings winding down in the hot tub with great views of the lake and wildlife. Although it was off-season, we were not disappointed! The kids had a blast with all the indoor activities. We still enjoyed the kayaks and lots of fishing—we caught a ton of bass on the lake in the early mornings. Our group LOVED the seclusion of the dock area. I will certainly book again and recommend this property for any occasion. Thank you :)

Everything was great—the Jacuzzi was amazing! I’m only leaving 4 stars because there were instructions not to use either the electric or wood-burning fireplaces. I completely understand the safety concerns with the wood-burning fireplace in the main living area; however, since it was winter and over Christmas, we would have really enjoyed being able to use the electric fireplace located downstairs. I’m not 100% sure whether it’s listed as an available amenity, but I do remember being excited about having a fireplace and felt a bit disappointed not being able to use it. Other than that, we truly enjoyed our stay and plan to return in May for my niece’s graduation. As long as we’re able to use the kitchen/bar area and television on the boat dock (which were locked during this stay—completely understandable given the cold weather), we would absolutely stay here again.
