About this cabin rental

Enjoy SML from our beautiful, authentic log cabin with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, centrally located on the lake , situated on a wooded natural lot on the water, with a beautiful view of the main channel. The cabin was expertly crafted, built in the 1980s with vintage logs circa 1820. Though the structural material is ~ 200 years old, it has all the modern conveniences inside including central heat and air conditioning, beautiful wood floors and solid wood doors.

We have wifi and an HD TV with Blu Ray /DVD player and lots of movies, as well as books, plenty of games and a well stocked kitchen. Bring your swim suit and lots of sun block and take advantage of the huge, two level dock. Water depth at the dock is ~ 18+ feet at full pond. Quiet family friendly Cove is perfect for floating and playing in the water.Tie your boat or jet ski to the dock -- or make good use of the owners 3 kayaks, paddle boat and floating toys. Fish, play corn-hole (boards provided), or relax and read a book at the dock or on the big rear deck at the house. Grill like a boss? We gotcha covered. Feel like a hike? -- head over to SML State Park, only 7 miles away by car. Located in a quiet cove positioned just a couple hundred yards from the main channel (near R27), this is where you’ll find your R&R, with peace of mind knowing that you are still near all the conveniences you need – By car: Food Lion is 4 miles away and the Hales Ford Bridge is 7 miles. 40 minutes to Liberty University stadium and 1 hour 20 minutes to Lane Stadium in Blacksburg! It simply doesn’t get any better than Cabin Life on the Lake!

There is a convenient public boat launch located about 12 minutes away by car and 5 minutes by boat, at Bridgewater Marina..

Did we mention that there are two wineries within 2.4 miles (Hickory Hill Winery and Ramulose Ridge Winery)

An excursion worth mentioning only 44 miles from the cabin, about a 55 minutes drive, is McAfee Knob (at the top of Catawba Mountain), one of the most enjoyable and scenic day hikes on the Appalachian Trail – Highly Recommended!
