Love Sunsets? Glory in a natural, cozy, rustic setting

This cabin is a Family Treasure. Built as the original vacation cabin on Island Lane, road created by my Dad (retired professor from UVA) fifty years ago. Great Smith Mountain Lake location! Right on the main channel adjacent to lake marker R-8 where the Roanoke and Blackwater Rivers meet.

Recently renovated 1st floor, kitchen & bathroom. Expansive lake view with exquisite sunsets are yours for the taking. Peek at the lake from every window direction, face the lake from the deck (like on a boat, and could step out into the water) and just a few steps below will take you to a private stationary dock, where boats can be parked. A few steps up off the upper deck will lead you to perfect views of the July 4th holiday fireworks from Saunders Parkway Marina. Brand new upgrade features a double mini-split ductless heat pump system provides clean, efficient AC, and heat. Please note: Vacation rental guests do bring their own Bed linens and Towels.

Dining on food fresh off the barbeque out on the deck to the accompaniment of a spectacular sunset, a troop of deer passing by and the song of various birds...What's not to like. We were looking forward to peace and quiet and found it. What followed our arrival was an acquaintance with indolence. Want some activity? Swim off the pier or rent a pontoon boat for a day and take a trip up the lake. Lovely house, lovely host. Lovely stay.

Great getaway spot

It was a great location to view the lake, and amazing sunsets! We had a great time here, even though the weather didn't cooperate for using the kayaks. There is a lot to do around the lake, and we didn't have any issues finding good places to eat nearby.
