We had a wonderful time in Smith Lake. There were some plumbing issues with the house when we arrived but that got dealt with quickly. Nice area, we enjoyed the Lake.

Hello! We enjoyed our week-long stay at the Snug.
It is a great location, quiet, the dock is a bonus, and the view is peaceful! The beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed the deck(s).
The unit had everything we needed. We especially appreciated having a washer/dryer.
We didn't spend much time in the house because the weather was great, and we were mostly outside.

We have stayed in the Waterways community before and it never disappoints! The lake views are beautiful, love to play bocce and corn hole in the grassy areas in front of the lake. The condo had everything we needed!

Perfect in everyday - Lake Retreat Properties is first class all the way. Home was extremely nice and clean. Location was perfect. We will be back for sure. Thank you:)

We had a great stay. It was a short, easy walk to the beach or docks. Everything in the house was as advertised.

Loved this very comfortable home with 3 balconies/decks overlooking the lake. Easy to walk to the water!

The house was perfect for our family of 4. It’s unusual to find a 3 bedroom with 3 baths. The walk to the water was short and even - no steps or mountains to climb! Neighborhood was quiet, with amenities we didn’t use. The cookware could be replaced but crappy cookware is pretty typical in rentals. The master bedroom got pretty hot with the door shut over night. A fan in good working order would help. Over we had a great stay and would return.

This was a great location without steep steps; great view. Love boat docking & lake locations are easily accessible by water. The neighbors were nice. The accommodations were VERY clean, spacious & well-appointed with many items. My only suggestion would be to have a minimum amount of toilet paper & trash bags on hand as I brought papertowels & tissues (things like that), but in our past experiences the locations have had tp & bags (if something said to bring these items I may have missed that part). Just a minor thing; thankfully my daughters was coming to visit from LU the next day so she brought us some. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would recommend.

This was our third summer for spending a week at The Snug. The views of SML were absolutely beautiful. The townhome is perfect for our family of 4 and 2 labs. It's comfortable, clean and in a great location. Having the flat yard and boat slip right out the back door is an added bonus! The property manager is easy to reach and responds quickly. We'll be looking forward to staying at The Snug next summer!

The Snug is a great place to get away. Isolated part of Virginia which is what my family was looking for, but be sure you get there with groceries you need. Great property with great location and wonderful views of Smith Mountain Lake. Bedrooms were comfortable. Kitchen was a bit small but more than adequate for making meals.
If you bring a boat, there is a nearby ramp and an available dock slip just out the back door. Very convenient.
I would definitely stay here again when looking for another lake getaway.

Nice Townhouse unit. Overlooks the lake and Boat slips. Spacious rooms on all three levels, with balcony off most levels. Our family really enjoyed our stay at SML. Looking forward to returning in the near future. PS Pet friendly unit???
Our stay was very enjoyable.
Thanks, The Allman’s

We love our visits to SML! The Snug is in a great location. It has a great view from the deck and is close to the State Park, which has a lot of fantastic programming for kids. The Snug has the basics - we did bring along a card table to set up on the deck outside so we could eat meals overlooking the lake - fabulous! The property manager was easy to reach and quick to respond. Note that the Waterways community doesn't have a dumpster - you need to take your trash to a waste center a few miles away. It took us a few days to realize that there was a Blu-ray/DVD player - a nice modern touch. We also got to enjoy an old movie from my childhood - Babes in Toyland - on VHS - hadn't see one of those in awhile! Thanks for the stay!

Clean and comfortable with a great location. Thanks!

We felt totally at home. A very cute and comfortable house. Lots of room and a beautiful view. Perfect private little beach. We can't wait to come back!

I thought we would encounter more renters, since this is a town home community, but we basically had 2 docks and beach to ourselves. The two neighbors we saw were very nice and one even took us for a boat ride! The house had everything we needed, although the TVs upstairs were useless since they were old, non-digital boxes. The main TV was fine and came with Satellite. The kitchen was fine as well. There is no trash service, but we had no issues taking everything with us to dumpsters. There is only a charcoal grill, so make sure you bring briquettes. This place can comfortably sleep 7 people, so we had more than enough room. It was a very pleasant surprise to have a gigantic field and boat house with 2 swimming docks practically to ourselves. Interactions with the owner/agent were very friendly and helpful. For the excellent price and availability, I highly recommend this place.
