Hidden Gem

This fabulous home offers many amenities for all ages to enjoy, such as a pool, game room, beach area, and dog-friendly. The house had plenty of space for our family of 8 and our Boston Terrier; the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. Our 4-year-old granddaughter loved the sandy beach! We loved enjoying the evenings outside, cooking our meals on the gas grill. This is our second time staying at Hidden Gem, and the only disappointment we had was missing the furniture in the patio sitting area. It was one of our favorite places to sit and visit with each other. Other than that, we had a fantastic time and plan to visit again.

We vacationed here in August, and everything was just perfect for my family and me. The home was well-equipped with everything we needed, and the amenities offered constantly entertained us. The whole family enjoyed swimming and lounging at the private pool. The home is dog-friendly, so we brought our little fur baby with us, and he loved the lake! There is a sandy beach area, which is perfect for the little ones and the dogs to get in and out of the lake. The rental agency was great to work with from booking the property to checking out. We had a minor maintenance issue with the HVAC system leaking water downstairs. We called the rental agency, and they had someone right out fixing the problem. We will definitely rent this property again!

Our family (three generations) had a wonderful time at this lake house. The house is really lovely and spacious, with plenty of comfortable seating options in the large living room, beautiful sunroom (with glass roof, feels like you are in a treehouse), and lower level living/family room. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking and serving. The bedrooms are very comfortable. The house was very clean. And the deck, pool and patio area are super. There are quite a few steps from the deck down to the pool but with sturdy rails, and then gentle sloping to the dock (with plenty of space for our pontoon boat rental). Plenty of parking and a very private setting. And the rental office is very accessible and accommodating (the coffee maker broke and was promptly replaced). All in all a great house in a great location (our second time to Smith Mountain Lake). I hope we can return for our next family vacation!
