Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Smith Mountain Lake

We throughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at Rachel’s and Chad’s lovely home on Smith Mountain Lake. It was very clean and comfortable, making it a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the wonderful lake area. Rachel and Chad were great hosts, leaving clear instructions, and being quickly responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely stay there again if we were visiting the area.

Very clean home. Close to main road. Easy access though I did drive right past the driveway which is a bit hidden.

Loved staying here! Great lake views and water activities. Mariana was very responsive and so kind!

The house was the perfect getaway for two nights in downtown Roanoke. The place has excellent furnishings, all of the essentials, and even toiletries that you may have forgotten. The best part of the house is the coffee shop & bakery right next door. The house is convenient to downtown if you have a vehicle. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will recommend to others looking for a place in Roanoke.

Our family gathered there in the Forest/Lynchburg area for Thanksgiving this year. We found this property to be entirely suitable for our use in this way. The house is laid out well and we were able to enjoy our time together. Scott was very accommodating on anything that we needed and responsive when we had any questions. We certainly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely consider staying in this property again if we needed to gather in that area. Highly recommend this property to others whose group sizes are compatible with the house. Thanks so much for making us feel at home and for accommodating us while we were here.

Relaxing and amazing place. The house a very very well equipped. Lot of fun with my family during our stay.

My hosts were the best. My family was in town due to a family emergency, which when Leah found out how serious it was she even left a beautiful succulent for me. U don’t find that kind of person everyday that’s for sure. Everything was wonderful and peaceful there. Would definitely recommend.

Shady Oaks is located in a quaint development right on the water. It's heavily wooded with lots of shade. The neighborhood is generally quiet and there is a private road that loops down and back. The house is well maintained and features lots of outdoor space to enjoy your stay. Water access is via the dock which also features an elevated deck above the dock. The kids and I spent most of our time at the dock--enjoying the cove by either fishing or kayaking (2 come with the rental). Relaxing on the deck was also great in the evening. We brought our puppy since dogs are allowed (extra $25 per day upto 2 dogs). It was nice to have an enclosed deck off the main level for our puppy to enjoy with us. The beds were very firm memory foam, but comfy. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensil, gadgets, spices, and oils. The location is convenient to the state park (a must), Virginia Dare boat tour, restaurants, and shopping. Overall a good 3-day weekend stay.

My friend and I had an incredible stay at Michelle's place! The cabin was exactly as described and had a lot of privacy. The surroundings were beautiful - the best part was the riding stables only a four minute drive away. Definitely go for a ride and stop by the petting zoo:) Look forward to staying in the future!

Perfect for dog lovers and lake lovers! I’ve rented various condos at Smith Mountain Lake and several different ones at Stripers Landing, but Shannon’s place is now my new favorite. With a great view, plenty of space and the option to bring the pup - it’s such a treat. Highly recommend.

Awesome place Great location Host was proactive and the home was spot on

Angelica is an excellent host, very clear with communications and quick to respond to questions. The space was perfect, well equipped, clean and comfortable. There’s a lot of love scattered throughout the space with snacks, drinks, pet treats and other little essentials. We will stay here again….

I loved staying at Mariners Landing in this lovely condo. It was perfect for a peaceful couple of nights away in the "off season" though any season at Smith Mountain Lake is beautiful! I enjoyed the amenities including the indoor pool, game room, and beach area, and had a fabulous meal from Bruno's Clubhouse. The condo was beautifully decorated and I spent a lot of time on the lakefront balcony. Definitely recommend a stay here!

Had a wonderful time with the family, Tammy was a great host! Very responsive and communicative. Definitely a better fit for older kids (the hills 🤣), but Tammy had ALL the essentials for babies to be accommodated and right at home! And the littles loved fishing too. It was an excellent spring break for us!

Literally the best sleep I’ve had at a place not my home, and I travel a lot! Already booked another stay. Home was immaculate and the view was breathtaking. Thank you again!!

Beautiful area and have stayed there numerous times. It’s my home away from home when I have work trips in that area. Thank you Beck for being a great host and the best local guide.

Very good attention to thoughtful detail, eg snacks, tea, coffee, shampoo, hand cream, towels, bedding choices. Decor was creative and fresh. Attentive host.

Amazing and YES, cozy but not small country cottage! Beautiful Natural and well kept outdoors. Many sitting and dinning areas. inside provided tremendous light, many windows, Amazing space and separation of sleeping areas and very private bath. Kitchen perfectly laid out with much space for multiple cooks. Clean, private, quite and indoor bug free environment. Two perfect fire pits; one secluded for privacy and another perfect for gatherings. Perfect ambience. We felt we were home away from home. We had last minute request and Michelle was flexible, accommodating and went beyond host duties to fulfill our unusual needs. We will definitely return for another country cozy get away. Check in/out instructions were clear and minimal. Thank you for an amazing getaway! Look for us to return. We will definitely tell our friends!

I loved everything about this home. Parking was available, quiet home , very clean , decorated nicely , honestly it felt like home away from home . Very cozy ! Thank you so much for letting me stay in your home !

I absolutely loved the stay! Luca’s home was so beautiful and my family loved it. The home was super cozy! Me and my family had a great time. I will definitely recommend.

This was the best stocked AirBnB we have ever stayed at. It made our stay so much more enjoyable!! The whole house is just lovely. Thank you Rachel for being a great host. We would definitely stay here again!

Kelli's place was absolutely perfect for our party of four + dog! We were visiting for a wedding with many events throughout the week, frequently coming & going. Location was very convenient to downtown & just off the main road for us. We particularly appreciated that while the place felt homey, it wasn't overly full of decorations covering every surface, making you feel like your belongings are going to get easily lost. It was well equipped to cook at the place & we wanted for nothing! Kelli was extremely kind & accommodating to our schedule. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a great time. It was very cozy and the kids enjoyed the Monopoly table! Hoping to stay there again in the future!

This is a beautifully appointed home, full of thoughtful little touches. It was very clean, matched the photos, had lots of extra towels, blankets, and pillows, plus a snack basket and bottled waters when we arrived. There was even an electric griddle (which we didn't have the chance to use!). The location was perfect for us--just minutes from the Vaughn House (we were there for a wedding) and Poplar Forest, plus close to all kinds of restaurants (we highly recommend Muse coffee shop!) and grocery stores. Plus it's pet friendly!! Ryan himself is a great host--very responsive and very gracious when our initial plans went through a variety of changes. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer. If we're ever in the area again, this will be our first choice!
