Cabin on the Cove
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Experience Smith Mountain Lake in Cabin on the Cove, a gorgeous dog-friendly log home located on a five-acre wooded lot providing privacy, yet also convenient to restaurants, marinas, and shopping. This spacious and well-appointed home has plenty of room for a large family and offers a true lake atmosphere with wood beams and expansive windows for wonderful lake views.
The main level offers a well-equipped kitchen, a great room, a primary suite with a private balcony, and two guest bedrooms that share a bath. The lower level provides another primary suite, a guest suite, a family room, a game area, and a wet bar. The loft area has extra sleeping space as well.
The huge 2,200-square-foot dock gives you plenty of room to tie up your boats or personal watercraft, fish, sunbathe, or just enjoy the view. Swimming and floating is ideal in this wide water cove.
Also, this home offers plenty of opportunities to keep everyone entertained with seven TVs, shuffleboard, foosball, air hockey, electronic darts, Xbox (bring your own games), and a canoe.
For those who prefer a more laidback vacation, there is a hammock on the deck to enjoy the summer breeze, a covered porch for shade, and a lower patio for grilling (gas grill and flat-top gas grill available).

Very clean inside and out. All starter supplies lasted our six-day stay. Lots of nice touches like bagged ice in freezer, frig on both floors, ceiling fans in all rooms, balconies, and dock. Hotel quality linens and towels. Enjoyed using Blackstone griddle plus other grilling options. Paddle boards were fun and listening to music through doc speakers. Fishing charter with Captain Tony of ReelRock Adventures was great! Would come again!

We were so fortunate to stay at this wonderful property from August 16-23rd! The house itself is immaculate with plenty of sleeping and play spaces for the whole family. The adults and kids alike loved the games in the basement and the layout of the kitchen/dining/living room provided the perfect space for gathering together. Having a second fridge in the basement was also a plus with all the food and drinks we had to store. The location of this property simply can't be beat by both land and water. It's situated in a small cove inside a larger cove off the main channel, close to multiple marinas with restaurants but secluded enough to create the perfect and practically private swimming area. The dock was an amazing hang out space, providing both sun and shade as well as the dock house to store swimming gear and food/drinks in the refrigerator. If you're renting a boat and/or jetski, there's plenty of space to tie it up and still have ample space for swimming. The fire pit is a great addition to the yard as well.We had an issue with the front door not locking and the 'burner on' light consistently lit on the stove, and a vacasa rep came right out to fix the issues. Our only two complaints (if you can even call them that) were that the trash bins don't lock so critters got into them every night until we piled wood and rocks on top, and the grass and landscaping areas could use a good mowing and weed whacking. Can't wait to come back!

Great cabin with everything you need. Wish it had a hot tub. Amazing games in the basement.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2025
This was our second time at this cabin on beautiful Smith Mountain lake. We had everything we needed last year, but this year we were disappointed in several big misses. Unlike last year, we did not have access to the bar on the deck. As a result, we didn’t have lights on the deck in the evening, and we didn’t have access to the Floaties or the paddles for the two standup paddle boards nor a paddle for the canoe. Luckily, we were able to get the paddles we needed from the boat rental place. For the Floaties, we had to go out and purchased them as well as an air pump. If we would’ve known we wouldn’t have had access to those items again this year, we would’ve brought our floaties from home.
The house itself is great. Perfect amount of space to spread out for an extended family with teenagers. It is also a great location, not too far from the action, but also in a quiet cove.
