Painted Sky Landing

Painted Sky Landing did not disappoint! Upon arrival the house was very clean and the gift basket on the kitchen table was a nice touch, and well appreciated! The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was above well stocked. I do recommend bring foil and plastic wrap. The lake views from the house and deck were beautiful. I would consider adding drapes to the sliders for the hot afternoon sun. The slope down to the dock is significant but did not bother us, we expected such. The dock itself was well maintained and we made good use of the kayak s and sup.

This house was everything that we would hope for and more! So much more space than what the pictures show, and really well laid out. Incredibly comfortable and very well-maintained. The kitchen had every amenity that you could ever think of, including a Panini press and a quesadilla maker! This theme continues throughout the house with being well stocked for the foosball table, ping-pong, indoor sticky dartboard, toy ax throwing. There are a ton of games and movies to choose from, and even a set of reading glasses for people to use as they need. I truly have never seen a rental home as well stocked and well thought out as this. Easy parking for three cars, and a nice dock with good boat parking for one boat. It is plenty deep for jumping directly off the dock to swim and dive. They also have two kayaks and a paddleboard with a kayak ramp for easy in and out. Getting to the water includes a well-maintained stairway, and the back slope is not too steep. We traveled with three children ages 2 to 10, and they all managed this with ease. I would definitely recommend this property, it was so comfortable and so well-maintained, we would absolutely rent again.

We spent a week at Painted Sky! This is our 4th summer at SML. Painted Sky is our favorite house thus far! The location on the lake was perfect. We brought our jet ski and were able to secure at the dock. The house is a 5 min jet ski ride to the Bridge. Even over the 4th of July weekend, our lake area never got too busy. We took the jet ski north into the Roanoke River….so serene! Highly recommend! The house - The kitchen was amazing. Any kitchen utensil, pot, pan, etc needed, they had it! I feel like more rentals skimp in the kitchen. Not here! They had beautiful platters, tons of place settings, etc. The gas grill was new/or just really well maintained! We hosted 2 other families to celebrate my son’s HS graduation and all the kids enjoyed the lower level of the house when they were done splashing around in the lake. The reading nook, the book library and even the supply of readers won me over as soon as I walked in the house. Loved that every detail was thought of for strangers to come and enjoy! I understand that when you open your home to strangers, you’re taking a risk! The owners of Painted Sky didn’t cut any corners! We felt comfortable and at home our entire week!

I stayed at this lakehouse in June with my family and give it 5 stars! The house has a fully-stocked kitchen compared to most other places i’ve stayed (cookware, appliances, spices, etc). I love the skylights, and the views are truly amazing! My four kids had a wonderful/safe time swimming and kayaking on the lake. It was very peaceful and I would highly recommend it. We will definitely be booking another stay for next year!

We spent the first week of June at Painted Sky Landing. This beautiful house is in a quiet, somewhat secluded area of the Lake. There are fabulous views of the Lake from almost every room, and the breeze from the Lake makes it comfortable to sit on any of the home's various decks. The house was exceptionally clean and comfortable, and the game room kept the family having fun. The large kitchen was well-appointed with all the tools and cookware to make food prep a breeze, and the living room was spacious and comfortable. The dock was well maintained. We could tie our boat up to the floating dock, which was great for using the supplied kayaks and paddleboards. The cove had light boat traffic, making it feel like a safe place to swim, tube, kayak, or chill out by the water. Trash service is provided in season. Folks with electric vehicles will find EV travel chargers a real plus! We plan to return to Painted Sky in the fall for the change of colors and cooler weather so we can enjoy the fire pit area. Thanks again. It was a great stay!
