Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Smith Mountain Lake

House was clean and well furnished.

Good place in a good location. Outside the hustle and bustle of the main part of the city, but still close enough to do things. It’s in a quiet neighborhood and has a large basement area with 2 additional bedrooms. Great for my family and I to stay the night while traveling across country.

Loved staying here! Great lake views and water activities. Mariana was very responsive and so kind!

Betsy’s house on Smith Mountain Lake is wonderful. From the driveway it looks like a jiggly small cottage. You go inside and wow! What a surprise! 6 bedrooms on two floors, a screened in porch, a deck and wonderful dock and boathouse. We enjoyed ourselves so much here.

Jessi’s Air bnb exceeded my expectations! The house its self was beautiful, and the inside was very well kept up! The back deck made the perfect lounging area, as well as the boat dock! We enjoyed lots of sunshine at the dock! Jessi’s communication was amazing, checking in on us, keeping up to date and her response time made questions answerable within minutes! The location of the house is 15 minutes from restaurants which made it very accessible! The house is perched back into a cove, which made it very peaceful and relaxing! I would highly recommend Jessi’s air bnb!

My hosts were the best. My family was in town due to a family emergency, which when Leah found out how serious it was she even left a beautiful succulent for me. U don’t find that kind of person everyday that’s for sure. Everything was wonderful and peaceful there. Would definitely recommend.

We very much enjoyed staying at Connie’s place in Roanoke. It was clean and fresh with a touch of Sweden which was fun. Great host who responded quickly to our questions. Thank you!

Jennifer’s place is such a gem. If you like being on the lake and having all the toys and amenities already taken care of for you then this is your place. I have my own kayaks but it was nice to not to have to worry about bringing them. Kayaks for adults and kids, paddle boat, paddle board, beautiful deck, multiple ladders to get out after swimming. They have board games and a karaoke machine that was so fun. The porch was so nice and relaxing. Better than the pictures. You should stay here.

We loved our stay here! It was the perfect space for our family, and we were able to walk to restaurants and other activities. Highly recommend Grandin Gem!

The apartment is very comfortable and cozy feeling. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings. The kitchen and bathroom were both well stocked with anything we might need. Very nice outdoor sitting and eating area as well. We had such a relaxing time!

Aaron gave clear instructions and was very responsive when I had any questions. Very friendly!

Beth & Stephen were super friendly and responsive...made us feel very welcome. Great informative YouTube videos on check in and parking also, which help a ton if you're not familiar with the area. Booked the apt for my husband while he was on a work trip and he said the bed was EXTREMELY comfortable and he slept like a baby. Will stay again for sure...looking forward to the next trip when I can stay myself!

Great location and communication. Enjoyed the stay and loved that we stayed right downtown.

Wonderful place to stay! Easy walk to downtown & parks. James is an excellent host.

Staying with Mr Jane was a pleasure. The location was perfect, the apartment was cozy and spotless. The place was well-equipped and the beds were surprisingly comfortable. This is a peaceful downstairs apartment with private entry and beautiful backyard with swimming pool. Mrs Jane was always available to answer our questions. unforgettable experience! Highly recommended!" 

We were in town to visit our daughter for the holidays. We had a wonderful stay. We were able to walk to local shops and restaurants. The space was cozy. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen came in handy for our family tradition of baking and decorating holiday cookies.

We loved staying here! The unit is small but decorated very nice and has all amenities you would need for a weekend away. Check in was easy with clear instructions provided the day before. We had no trouble operating the lock box or using the pin pad to enter the building. The unit was also very clean! The bed is so comfortable that we slept great both nights. We appreciated that Leslie left water and snacks available since we had forgotten to pack any in our rush to leave on the day of our trip. The beach and pergola near the water were nice to sit at in the evening. Although the on site restaurant was a bit pricy, the food was totally worth it. It was the best steak we had in a while! This unit met all of our expectations and we would definitely like to stay here again if we take another trip to SML.

Perfect for dog lovers and lake lovers! I’ve rented various condos at Smith Mountain Lake and several different ones at Stripers Landing, but Shannon’s place is now my new favorite. With a great view, plenty of space and the option to bring the pup - it’s such a treat. Highly recommend.

I loved staying at Mariners Landing in this lovely condo. It was perfect for a peaceful couple of nights away in the "off season" though any season at Smith Mountain Lake is beautiful! I enjoyed the amenities including the indoor pool, game room, and beach area, and had a fabulous meal from Bruno's Clubhouse. The condo was beautifully decorated and I spent a lot of time on the lakefront balcony. Definitely recommend a stay here!

Kathleen’s condo is wonderful, very clean with tremendous views of Smith Mountain Lake and the mountains. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this for a getaway of relaxation and rest, but also in close proximity to a lot of great activities. Thank you, Kathleen.

Excellent place to stay at. Things are easy to get to and a straight shot to go shop and eat or go to the beach with a gorgeous balcony view. Condo was very clean and I could not complain.

We had an amazing stay! Such a great location and lots to do inside the community. I recommend it!

Great stay. Cute condo right above restaurant and store. Brought my SUP and used it a lot. Lots to do at Mariner’s landing. Great food and service at The Landing, Bruno’s and Bottles and Bites. State Park 7 minutes away is excellent for hiking. Lots of friendly neighbors! We’re ready to go back!!

Literally the best sleep I’ve had at a place not my home, and I travel a lot! Already booked another stay. Home was immaculate and the view was breathtaking. Thank you again!!
