Reviews

-July 2024 
Another great year staying at the lake house! Dock is super nice and has great utilities. This was our third year coming as Alpha Chi and we had an absolute blast! This stay is very appreciated and we are beyond thankful!

-July 2024
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. We enjoyed our stay. The sunsets were amazing to watch while sitting on the dock. We had perfect weather so it made for relaxing days floating on the water. Must say basketball game was a great bonus it brought out lots of competition in the family. Loved the kitchen having everything we needed! We can't wait to visit again!

-Could not love your home more. Its our favorite house and we've rented all over for 30 years. 

-June 2024
Thank you for sharing your lake home with us. It is well appointed, beautifully decorated and we thoroughly enjoyed the porch and view of the lake. We ate all of our meals there. The dock is fabulous and we got to enjoy a lot of fishing and family fun-especially in the cove! 

-November 2023
Thank you so much. Your house is amazing. I love how everything is labeled and easy to find. There is something for all ages. We really enjoyed our stay! Your house is beautiful and we love everything about it. Kris was so nice and helpful! Thank you!

-September 2023
Wonderful property!

-September 2023
We all had an amazing Labor Day weekend! This home is beautiful and was great for all of our babies.  We were very appreciative of the extra amenities that we were able to take advantage of. 10/10 Lake House! :) Thank you!

-August 2023 
This is the perfect house for a group. We rented this location for a long weekend with another group that rented very close to us. They came to our dock most days as this dock was PERFECT. The neighbors were great and very welcoming we had the best time. Everything you could need is supplied and the house is gorgeous.

-August 2023  
This is the nicest placed we've ever stayed at SML. 

 -July 2023 
We absolutely enjoyed our week at "Fun In the Sun". Beautiful home that had a very well equipped kitchen with everything we needed. Spacious dining room that shares space with a large living room. We ate breakfast and lunch on the shaded deck that overlooks the dock and the lake beyond. Our adult son and his wife and 2 dogs were well accommodated downstairs with its own porch, kitchen and living room. So much fun! We loved the ping pong table! The dock was great, lots of shade in the morning hours with less shade in the afternoon. We made good use of the 2 kayaks and paddleboards. 

 -April 2023 
We stayed at Fun in the Sun for 5 days/ 4 nights. The house is great and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped, beds were very comfortable, everything was very clean, and the games in the basement were a total bonus. We played so many games of pool! The outdoor spaces are the best! We enjoyed breakfast on the deck looking out on the lake each morning. The fire pit and the dock were great as well. We rented a boat from Mitchell’s (also recommend!) and easily tied up at the house dock. Everyone was very friendly and helpful - property mgmt company and Kris (owner’s sister). Overall a wonderful trip and we’ll be back! 

 -December 2022 
Owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome by decorating inside and outside and leaving a gift under the tree. We loved making cozy fires in the fireplace and the gorgeous sunset views from the house. A lovely neighborhood for walking. Excellent proximity to local market - White House Corner Market and Smith Mountain Lake State Park. Would highly recommend staying here. 

 -August 2022 
Beautiful Home & Dock very well equipped. 

 -August 2022 
The cleaning was excellent, better than any house we've stayed in. 
 -June 2022 
Thanks for sharing your house! 
-June 2022 
We had a great experience at this property. Wonderful location. Kids had a blast with all of the activities in the home.
-May 2022 
We had a blast. The basement was great for rainy weather. The dock was perfect to swim off of. We rented a boat and explored the lake for 2 days. Your home is beautiful. 
 -December 2021 
We very much enjoyed our stay over the NYE weekend at this home. The lakefront property was exactly as advertised. We especially enjoyed the games in the basement! Thanks for having us at your lovely home on SML.
