Amazing family getaway!

Had the best time at the Grotto! Could not have asked for a better stay for our family with three children. We had the best time here hanging out on the many different outdoor levels, playing foosball, eating dinner and playing games. We rented a pontoon boat and loved being able to dock right at our place. We also enjoyed the large float and just playing in the water. A true gem of a place, we highly recommend the grotto! Beautiful interior with well stocked kitchen and tons of room for all. Thanks so much! Can’t wait to come back!

The Grotto

Outstanding rental. Tons of amenities that kids and grandkids will enjoy and lots of porch swings for reading and lazy lakefront afternoons.

Response: The house is also in a great location for watching boating activity on the water and traffic on Hales Ford Bridge. We also get many comments on the outdoor swing bed being wonderful to lounge on!

The Perfect Lake House Getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay at The Grotto! The house was clean, updated, and stocked with all the essentials (we didn't even need some of the supplies we brought along!), including delicious K-cups for the Keurig. The walk down to the water was a bit steep and a lot of steps, but our 2-year-old and 6-year-old managed just fine (the adults may have been a little out of breath). The decks were perfect for hanging out, offering stunning views of the lake. We enjoyed watching the boaters pass by, and our boat fit perfectly at the dock. We even brought a large inflatable that we tied to the dock for the week, which worked out great! We left it behind for future renters to enjoy. The driveway and parking were steep, but nothing a parking brake couldn't handle. We had the best time at The Grotto and can't wait to come back to Smith Mountain Lake!

Great view!

Great view and location! The house has everything you need to cook at home because you’ll be at the dock all day playing! Or if you rent a boat, dock it there and enjoy the beautiful lake and water activities! Close to Bridgewater. The refrigerator at the dock was a lifesaver! The house itself has all of the amenities you will need to enjoy your vacation. The beds are comfortable and everything is beautifully furnished. Word of caution….if you are elderly or have limited physical abilities, this rental is NOT for you. The incline and decline to the dock is rather difficult. Lastly, this rental has well water which isn’t unusual, however, if the power goes out at all, the water filtration system does not come back on automatically. We didn’t realize that until we called the rental office and Josie came out to restart it because the toilets were stained with rusty water! The water was not like that when we arrived so it was assumed by the office that the power had gone out sometime between Saturday (our check in) and Sunday. Unfortunately, there was nothing documented in the rental binder about what to do if you see rusty water in the toilets hence our phone call to the rental office. It was handled expeditiously by the rental office though!
