SML Vacation Rentals

“Even tho there was some issues, we didn’t let that stop our vacay. Beautiful views, great location. I do not recommend for children under age of 12-due to the stairs in home and the railings on deck. Very unique home, had an old smell. Beds were comfortable, There was no trash service!! All in all we enjoyed our stay after getting issues dealt with.”

“We had a wonderful time at Paddles Up. Would definitely book again next time we’re at SML.”

“Very nice and comfortable place to stay.”

“This is a superb home with easy access to groceries, restaurants, and boat rentals. Very quiet and comfortable home for family and friends to gather.”

“Quiet and relaxing location, with great access to the lake and Smith Mountain State Park. The dock access allows dropping in your paddle boards or canoes very easily. The grill on the patio overlooking the dock and lake proved easy to use and clean. The ping table and foosball tables were great additions to play on. Lots of books and games to play if the weather keeps you inside. Drifters, Mangos and Joes Pizza were great places to eat. Putt putt near Mangos provided a lot of fun.”

“It was a beautiful location but far more isolated from the rest of the lake community than expected. The place was spacious and the pictures in the listing matched most items. There were a few items to be aware of before booking. There are extensive rules and most are not disclosed until 48 hours prior to your arrival, including the fact that you must drive all trash ten minutes away, or you will incur more fees. We were on a tight schedule with graduations and back-to-back events and that was very inconvenient/nearly impossible. We also didn't have a truck or other vehicle convenient to do that with fully loaded vehicles. The beds, with the exception of the master, were extremely hard (and I've stayed in many AirBnBs). The slope to the dock is also very steep and not shown in the pics (important if you have older people in your party). Otherwise, we were happy with our stay as it had many amenities.”

“The whole trip was great, and then we had to put all of our trash in our car (with our luggage) and take it to a dump. There really needs to be a trash service. Especially for those of us that do not have trucks.”

“A little expensive for what we used it for but otherwise ok. Trash will need to be taken about 10 minutes away which was inconvenient.”

“Overall, the stay was fine. The pictures do not match some of the furniture that is inside the home. You cannot use the closet in the master bedroom due to a keypad lock. There were a few clothing items left over by the previous renter. The master bathroom was a tad dirty. There was a lot of hair in and around the shower. We brought our dogs and they found tic tacs on the floor so I do not know if the carpets were vacuumed or not. Some of the blinds cannot be closed due to being broken. There is not a lot around the house itself. Closest Walmart was about 40 minutes away so come with everything you need. There is a small corner store that had a few essentials.”

“Great place for a family! The basement play space is awesome. The beds are comfy! The lot, while steep, is beautiful. It is wonderful!! Not a place to take elderly family members. Beware of pet fees. We have 4 dogs. We paid $600 to take our fur babies for4 days. If you have a good pet sitter, leave them at home!! It made our per day extravagant.”
