THE LAKE

Smith Mountain Lake is a popular destination because of its natural beauty and endless activities: swimming, fishing, boating, tubing, waterskiing, wake-boarding, eating out at restaurants off the water and on the water, visiting wineries, listening to bands/music, hiking, mountain biking, putt putt, rock climbing, going to the movie theater - you name it and we've got it!

We provide an owners guide book which provides complete information about where to go and what to do around Smith Mountain Lake. There are 2 national chain grocery stores close to our home- one is 15 minutes away the other is 20 minutes away. Wal Mart is 20 minutes away. There is a small market/gas station 5 minutes away. The lake has many restaurants and marinas on the water that you can boat to. We have always enjoyed boating to eat out on the water. You also can drive to many restaurants by car within 10/15/20 minutes as well. Like wine? There are many local wineries within easy driving distance to visit and enjoy. There are also lots of hiking and biking trails too.
