About this house rental
Welcome to Stillwater Retreat, your Smith Mountain Lake retreat—a cozy, pet-friendly lake home where you can slow down, unwind, and reconnect. The house sits on a peaceful cove with a private dock that’s perfect for kayaking, swimming, fishing, and lazy afternoons floating in the sun.
After a day on the water, come back to a spacious home with a fun-filled game room—pool, darts, foosball, and board games for all ages. Stream your favorite shows on the large Smart TV, or kick back on the porch and watch the sunset.
I’m Lydia, your host, and I’ve poured my heart into making this home a place where families and friends can make wonderful memories together—just like mine has for years.

We had such a peaceful, relaxing visit at the lake. The property was perfect! We loved relaxing on the dock, even our pups. The 2 kayaks were great as well and we enjoyed kayaking around the peaceful cove. House was well stocked, super clean and cozy. All communication with Lydia was fast and helpful. We would definitely rent the same house again!

Amazing property that enhanced our vacation. Lydia was awesome and responsive in the few questions I had. Perfect for a family vacation.

My family just returned after a wonderful week at the Hakuna Matata house. The property is just as described with a very well stocked kitchen (all pots/pans, cooking utensils and condiments you could want), three bedrooms/two full baths (with showers that have great hot water and water pressure), indoor and outdoor seating for meals and a fun room with lots of games and a pool table (that we used a lot for the first two days of inclement weather). The driveway is steep but easily navigated if you go slow which is a good idea so you don’t miss the turn off Rt.122. Likewise, the steps down to the firepit seating and dock are steep but certainly walkable unless you have mobility issues. There is a “baby gate” at the top of the stairs to the lower level of the house but families with young children may find the staircase worrisome and there is no bathtub for “little kid cleaning”. The quiet “no-wake” cove has more people swimming and kayaking then power boat traffic. Rest assured that you will not hear road noise when you are inside the house. On our first day we had an issue with the BBQ grill and reached out to the owner who was immediately responsive and has decided to replace the older grill.We highly recommend this rental property.
