Goodview Vacation Rental cottage

We enjoyed the restfull atmosphere of this cozy lake house. Though we have visited Smith Mountain Lake several times for short weekend visits this was our first extended stay. We found the lake house to be as described and a relaxing place to stay for the week. We especially enjoyed grilling and eating in the screened porch in the evenings and sitting on the deck overlooking the cove during the day. A great place to fish from the boat dock.The dock is nice and easy to dock your boat if you rent your ownlThe owners are very accomodating and friendly. Overall a good experience.

Our family had a wonderful week staying at this home! We truly felt that we were able to get away from everything. We spent every minute we could swimming in the cove and playing in the water. We packed lots of innertubes and floated around all day long. At night we spent hours fishing on the docks. The stationary and floating dock were both very large. There was plenty of room for our family and dog to run around. There is also an area for gutting fish and storing boat supplies. There was very adequate otdoor lighting at both docks. In the mornings and in the evenings the large wrap around porch was great place to relax and enjoy the view. This house is in a great location with a beatiful view and lots of sunshine to enjoy. The grocery store is very close and the owners were available to us anytime that we needed to get directions or assistance with something in the home. The home supplied many movies for kids to watch and games for families to play. The downstairs portion of the home is detached from the rest of the house and is a perfect get-away for teens to sleep in and younger kids to hang out in during the day. This area has it's own toilet and bath/shower area as well as a private deck. Our kids loved hanging out in this 'kid room.' They would watch satellite TV and play games in the evening. If you travel with a large group, you could easily get ten people to sleep pretty comfortably in this home. The pull out couches and futon sofa accommodate these extra people. Their accommodations wouldn't be private, but they would be comfortable. The property was clean and well kept. The owners provided lots of household necessities, such as basic seasonings, plastic trash bags, zip loc bags, aluminum foil, napkins, and linens for the beds. It was nice to not have to worry about these items. A few steps from the kitchen is a large screened in porch. It is hard to see in the photo, but it also is equipped with electricity, lighting and a ceiling fan. We enjoyed many dinners on this porch. The home provided a gas grill and a smoker which we used quite a bit. We will definitely return to Smith Mountain Lake again and stay in this home again.

A very pleasant stay... The owners are a true joy to work with and are super accommodating. The house is in a beautiful setting and the location is great via lake or dry land. It was a very cute home that I would describe as quaint with a down to earth charm. It is clean and met all of our wants and needs. It is one of those true charming lake front homes with an unpretentious character. The dock is great for housing your jet ski or boat. It is great for swimming as it has deep water and the stairs to and from the dock are really not bad, as I have stayed at some that were terribly long, these were not, the distance was just fine. It was great and we had a blast and plan to stay again. Thank you it was fun and we will recommend your rental every chance we get! Loved It!
