Lakefront Home - Private Dock, Kayaks, Game Room, Fire Pit, Pet-Friendly
Welcome to Stillwater Retreat—your waterfront lakefront escape on a quiet cove at Smith Mountain Lake.
Designed for easy, laid-back lake days, this pet-friendly home offers direct water access, a private dock, and space to relax both inside and out. Whether you’re kayaking in the morning, spending the afternoon on the water, or unwinding by the fire pit in the evening, everything here is set up for a simple, memorable stay.
Outdoor living is a highlight: Enjoy a spacious deck with lake views, a private dock for swimming, fishing, or tying up your boat, and a custom-built lakeside fire pit area with Adirondack seating—perfect for s’mores and evenings under the stars. Guests also have access to 2 kayaks and a paddleboard to explore the quiet cove.
Inside, there’s room for everyone to unwind: The main level features a comfortable living area with lake views and a gas fireplace, along with a fully equipped kitchen and dining space. Downstairs, the game room includes a pool table, foosball, darts, board games, and a second TV lounge—ideal for families and groups to spread out.
Sleeping areas are designed for comfort, and a dedicated workspace in the master bedroom includes a desk, chair, and power/USB access for remote work.
Location makes it easy: Walk to a nearby gas station and Vinny’s Italian Restaurant, or take a short drive to Bridgewater Plaza for lakeside dining, shops, mini golf, arcade, and boat rentals. Grocery stores like Kroger and Food Lion are just minutes away.
Good to know before booking: - The driveway and path to the dock are steep (typical for lakefront homes). Steps have been improved with wider treads and a sturdy handrail on the main section. - The downstairs bathroom includes a smaller, cabin-style shower. - This is a classic lake home—clean, comfortable, and continuously improving (not ultra-modern).
Property notes: Two outdoor cameras are installed (driveway and lake-facing) for property monitoring and are not active during guest stays.
Dock & Water Safety Notice: This is a lakefront property with a private dock. Use of the dock, lake, swimming, boating, and any water activities is entirely at your own risk. Children and pets must be supervised at all times near the water. No diving from the dock. Guests assume full responsibility for their safety and the safety of all members of their party.

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!
This was a great house! The location is perfect! Had a dock where we put our boat in. Check in was easy! The house was clean and very accommodating to our family. Plenty of room! We will book again! Thank you for your great hospitality!
The house was very clean and comfortable. We loved the game room downstairs! Location was convenient but i did have to drive (8 minutes) to the park to run and walk my dog. Even with that, i would definitely stay here again!!
This is our second summer staying at the Hakuna Matata house and we had a very enjoyable week. The property is as described with well stocked kitchen, BBQ grill and places to eat out on the deck. Swimming from the dock and kayaking in the quiet cove are very relaxing. Close to grocery and other shopping with easy access to the Bridgewater Plaza.
We were here to do work on the lake for my husband's boating app. We need a house close to the Bridgewater Marina and where we could dock our boat for the week. House was located five minutes from the marina. It is on a main road but you don't notice the traffic when you're at the house. Beds were comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. We would stay here again if we get a chance to come back.
We had a nice time at the property, everything was clean and just as described in the listing. Kitchen is pretty well stacked as well. Weather was bad so unfortunately we were not able to use the fire pit on the deck, but it’s a really nice feature. One thing is that we could have used more towels, including kitchen towels.
Enjoyed a week on the lake. Spent lots of time swimming off the dock, and using the stand up paddle board and kayaks. Lydia was responsive when I reached out with some questions and accommodated our schedule when sending a plumber to install a new dishwasher. Kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pots/pans, utensils. Location was great - enjoyed takeout from Vinny’s (across the street) and ice cream and mini golf just a short drive away.
Nicely equipped lake house. Watch out for the driveway and the steps to the lake. Both are steep. if you have a boat or rent a boat, load/unload fishing gear, coolers, etc that you plan to use on the boat at the Marina. Fishing in the cove is limited to small bluegill. Overall, good value for the money.
We had an amazing time on our honeymoon. The house was super clean & had more than we expected as far as fully equipped kitchen. Our 2 labs loved laying in the sun and were worn out everyday from swimming. It’s a perfect quiet cove to relax or fish. It may take a few days to recoup from going up and down all the steps. The only suggestions we have would be a little weed killer around the steps/pathway & some lighting on the dock. Even some small solar lights would make a big difference. This was a GREAT rental and we can’t wait to get back.

Charming Lake Retreat with Cozy Comfort, but Outdoor Challenges
We recently stayed at a rental house on Smith Mountain Lake, and overall, we had a lovely time! The interior of the home was beautifully decorated—cozy, cute, and comfortable. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, making for great nights of sleep, and the amenities provided were fantastic, making our stay easy and enjoyable.
That said, the outdoor experience wasn’t quite as ideal. The house sits on a quieter “finger” of the lake, which meant some mud and debris near the dock, and the high grass on the property and next door brought quite a few bugs, making it tough to spend time outside. The house is also near a busy road, which we didn’t mind too much but could be a factor for others.
Overall, if you’re looking for a comfortable place to relax inside and enjoy Smith Mountain Lake’s charm from a distance, this rental might be a great fit! Just plan on spending more time indoors than out.
We enjoyed our stay at this cute house. The inside is nice, plenty of places to sit and enjoy a book or the view. Could have used a quick sweep but otherwise was clean. I would say it would be a tough house for a family with littles as two Bedrooms are down stairs and one upstairs. The pool table & foosball table was a ton of fun and we played each night. The outdoor stairs to the fire ring and dock was a little steep and could be an issue for some especially since there are no railings. Even though on a busy road the noise does not make it to the house. Luckily the garbage can was already at the curb because dragging it up the hill and the end of our stay, would have been a workout. All in all a pleasant stay in a comfortable home.
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.
We were two couples on holiday (no children) and found that the house is in a great location for visiting the local area, over the road are a couple of diners and a quick drive over the bridge you have the marina with more eateries, coffee shop, ice cream etc. We hired a boat for one day and found this to be the best end of the Lake to stay at for food choice. I suspect we were at the end of the season though and lots of things seemed to be closing.
The house was well equipped, a little tired in places but it was clean. There is a main bedroom with an ensuite and laundry off that which was slightly odd as we needed to go through our friends bedroom or bathroom to get to the washing machine. Downstairs you will find 2 more bedrooms and a bathroom, as well as the games room with snooker table and dart board.
Sadly the deck and garden area were a little uncared for, there were childrens swim things dumped on the deck, we weren't sure whether they were the owners or the previous tenants, we didn't look at the bbq but the cover was old and ripped, someone had emptied ash from the firepit all over the ground on the seating area halfway down the steps, there were weeds everywhere and the grass needed to be cut. The steps down to the dock were ok although a few steps were a little dangerously angled, but the "jump" down from the last step was a little challenging as well as the necessary clamber to get back off the deck.
We enjoyed our stay but a little TLC is necessary.
Great Long Weekend! Everything we needed / wanted!
The house was perfect for our long weekend with family! There were 4 of us (adults) and there was plenty of room and space to spread out. The house was exceptionally clean and well decorated, so it really felt like a home. The kitchen had everything we needed and there was a grocery store right down the street. The outdoor space is even better than what you see in the pictures. First of all, the house is right on the lake, so there's a great view. There is a huge deck on the top level, a deck off of the basement / gameroom level, a fantastic separate firepit area with adirondack chairs and decorated with lights, and a small private dock. Like most of the houses in the area, it is on a slope, so you have to walk down stairs to get to the lake / firepit area. Not a problem for us, but probably wouldn't be great for someone with mobility issues. We used the kayaks provided (there was also a paddleboard) and spent several hours paddling on the lake. One day it rained, so we played pool and watched movies in the basement / game area. We also went shopping at some of the stores nearby, and hung out at a lovely coffee place 5 mins away. We had one very small issue while we were there and Lydia was super responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend and look forward to returning next year - hopefully in the summer so we can swim off of the dock! Thank you Lydia for a great stay!!

Week getaway
The house is well appointed with everything we need for kitchen, laundry, kayaks and paddle board, pool table, foosball, books and games! Great setup for older kids. Excellent amenities, fire pit, grill, outdoor tables. Laundry room, soap, etc all supplied. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was newly remodeled. We felt like we were guests at a friend’s house! Lots of light, enough space for 2 older teens to be independent downstairs (yay!) and even Netflix included.
We enjoyed paddling around the dock- very quiet off the main boating area.
Overall it was an excellent rental that felt more like home every day. It is obvious the owners wanted us to feel welcome.
Suggestions for improvement: 1 sliding glass door needs lock replaced. Would be nice to have a chain lock for security on front door. An umbrella on the deck would be helpful. The ladder on the dock was awkward to use. Would be great to have the ladder on the front of the dock. (I didn’t like the gooshy mud I had to walk through to get to it.)
At first I was unhappy with the busy road (worried for my dog) but it was fine after I acclimated. It was really good to be near the Bridgewater Marina. The teens spend most evenings there.
Overall 4.5/5. Thank you!
