Welcome to Brown Dog's Bluff at Smith Mountain Lake, where you will enjoy the tranquility of a quiet golf course community with waterfront views and access.
This updated home's open floorplan provides an abundance of room for family and friends to gather. This gorgeous property is enchanting with its paved driveway, brick walkway to cove, and professional landscaping. We have an abundance of parking options for multiple vehicles and boat trailers. The "wake free" cove is ideal for floating, kayaking, and fishing. This location is especially convenient with easy access to multiple restaurants by car or by boat. Hiking at a national park, golf, ice cream stands and Bridgewater Plaza are amongst many of the nearby attractions.

Brown Dog's Bluff provides incredible views from the Master Bedroom, Kitchen, Living Room and Lower level. The Main floor open living space has cathedral ceilings and is a great host for large family meals, movie nights or board games. You won't feel left out in this kitchen open to the living room, with countertop seating. The large dining table with 5 chairs and a bench welcomes 8-9 people. The kitchen, dining room and living room are ideal for large family/friend gatherings.

You may not want to leave the large King Master Bedroom Suite with large windows accessing fantastic waterfront views, desk and huge walk-in closet. You will enjoy a luxurious and immense Master Bedroom Bath; it is spa-like, with jetted bathtub and separate walk-in shower. Free High Speed Internet and desk will accommodate your needs if you need to bring your work with you. 2 additional large bedrooms with Queen beds and additional Full Bathroom offer plenty of private living space on the Main Floor.

We stayed for a few days while attending our son’s graduation Virginia Tech and it was fantastic. Finally a home that matches the description! This house and location will it disappoint you! The host was also very response to messages leading up to our stay and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend this house to anyone, we will certainly book again! Thank you!

We immediately felt at home......
We immediately felt at home in this lovely property. The owners were so accommodating and very quick to respond to any questions. The home was immaculate, everything was really thoughtfully done. The game room was such a nice addition to our lake days. The dock is amazing, the kayaks were so much fun. I took one out and just floated in the peaceful water, no fear of a boat speeding by and knocking me around. It was a little piece of heaven. Not enough nice things to say. Highly recommended and we would love to come back next year.

Perfect lake vacation spot!
Brown Dog Bluff was fabulous. Lovely and welcoming space inside and out. Airy and comfy throughout. The owners pay so much attention to every detail. We all loved the game room! The cove is perfect for floating and paddling, and also easy access to boat to lunch or dinner (our favorite), or hit Kroger and cook at home. We all had a really great time. I also loved that there was plenty of shade (including over the hammock!)

Perfect Vacation
We have been renting houses at SML for over 25 years (time to buy, right?). I have to say that the location of this house is the best out of all of them! It is close to everything we needed: grocery store, boat rental and the marina for gassing up the boat. The house was tastefully decorated and comfortable with every appliance we needed. We enjoyed some of the games, puzzles, and game room, having a family ping pong tournament on our final night there. The kids thought it was great taking a shower outdoors. :) Holly was very thoughtful, accommodating and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you Jeff and Holly for letting us stay in your home. It truly felt like home away from home. The home is in a great location for water activities or out on the town. Jeff and Holly go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and we love that we could bring our 8mo old golden retriever! Highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a getaway to SML!

Wonderful return stay
Another perfect trip to this beautiful home on SML. It doesn’t get any better than this home, especially for our family with 2 sons and our pup. There is so much to do both in and out of the house, and the quiet lake cove is perfection. We can’t wait for our next visit!!

1st time visit to SML
My family enjoyed our 1st trip to SML! I am glad we chose this house to stay at. It is apparent the owners take great pride in their property. The house is beautifully decorated and maintained. It is very easy to prepare food since the kitchen is stocked with everything you need. The golf course neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. We enjoyed the dock and the kayaks. We rented a boat from a nearby marina and it was easy to tie up to the floating dock. Holly provided a ton of information about local restaurants and things to do. My kids enjoyed the basement game room and all the other games she has stocked in the house. We are looking forward to our return visit! Thanks for your hospitality!
