About this house rental

Welcome to Lake Haven, our cherished family home nestled in scenic Penhook, a place where family and friends gather and serenity meets. In our retirement, my husband & I decided to take on a massive renovation project. We wanted to create a place for our family and friends to have great times and make fun memories, but then we agreed that we should share it with others so they could enjoy it, too. With a lot of hard labor, long days and nights, and with help from our family and friends aged 2 to 72, we did it! It took two years, but what a labor of love - and well worth it.
Your comfort is our priority. The home is equipped with a full house generator.
Ensuring that in the rare event of a power outage your stay remains comfortable and the fun uninterrupted.

At Lake Haven, expect a warm and inviting space for all ages. Fall in love with being outside. Lake Haven is situated on a large, private flat lot, providing easy access to the lake and our newly constructed dock. The flat yard makes playing outside games fun and easy. Soak and relax in the hot tub, roast s'mores over the fire pit, take the kayaks out for a tour of the lake, or sunbathe on the lounge chairs on the upper deck.

The dock is the cherry on top, with plenty of room to relax in the shade or watch the sun rise and set on the water. Take advantage of the coffee maker, blender, and fridge, and enjoy a cup of coffee or a cocktail. Jump off the floating dock or the water trampoline, or throw in your line to see what you catch. And bring your boat - Lumpkin Marina is less than a mile away for food and gas.

Rainy day? No problem. Head inside, where you can get a view of the lake from every room. Head for the game room for some foosball, shuffleboard, or darts. There are also plenty of board and card games to play at the round table, or enjoy the big game on the large-screen TV. If gaming is your thing, check out the Nintendo in the bunk room. Head downstairs and make cocktails at the bar or snuggle up with a good book near one of two fireplaces. With two separate family rooms and two separate gaming/bar areas, there is plenty of room for everyone.

There is a fully stocked kitchen upstairs with double ovens to accommodate all the cooking you want to do for a large group, as well as a kitchenette downstairs for extra fridge space. There is a local grocery and convenience store nearby for minor groceries and seasonal items you may have forgotten. The closest chain grocery stores are Food Lion in Gretna, as well as Kroger and Walmart in Rocky Mount. There are several nearby restaurants as well for dining in or carry-out.

Smith Mountain Lake is nicknamed the "Jewel of the Blue Ridge", with 580 miles of shoreline. It has become one of the most popular recreational lakes in Virginia - a hub for boating, wakeboarding, water/jet skiing, kayaking, and fishing. With mountain views, the changing of the leaves in the fall, and large families gathering for the holidays, any time of the year is a great time to join us for a slice of lakeside paradise at Lake Haven, where every moment is cherished, and memories are made to last.

Come for the Holidays as our home will be decorated from November 1 through mid January.

The house was immaculate and suited our family’s needs perfectly. The kitchen was so very functional - we had everything we needed to cook for everyone. The power went out while we were there, which we didn’t really notice because the generator kicked in and kept us cool during a hot July night. If you are planning to bring or rent a boat while you were there, which we did, we were told guests couldn’t use the lifts. Not sure if I missed that in the guidelines, but having a boat tied up to the floating dock made swimming a bit crowded. And due to the low level of water in the lake, the distance from the fixed dock to the floating dock is close to eight feet. The current steps are way too short and we had family members that couldn’t get to the floating dock. The host would not provide a ladder to reach the floating dock, which many others have done at SML. So, bring a ladder if you plan to use the floating dock.

We had a wonderful time at the house for a family reunion for our daughter's college graduation. The kitchen was well stocked and bedrooms were as advertised; living areas were generously sized and had plenty of seating at the tables. The game room was excellent; adding a sleeper sofa in there could expand the capacity of the house without detracting from the sleeping arrangements. It was on a quiet cul-de-sac and very peaceful. The hot tub was a big hit with the everyone. There were two issues we had during our stay. The first was not the fault of the rental; the water level in the lake is currently very low making it impossible to use the floating dock. We had rented a boat and had to go to the marina to onload and offload as the floating dock at the property was about 6 feet below the main dock. Secondly, the "lower level" in the description is really a walk-out basement and smells musty. We had several people with allergies that flared up by sleeping in the basement. Overall, it was a lovely house that had been thoughtfully renovated and was a wonderful setting for our reunion.
