Shangri-La -dogs friendly, firepit, wifi, 2 kayaks, 2 kitchens, and a Pool Table

Finally, a home to come home to on Smith Mountain Lake! This beautiful, contemporary home awaits on a gentle slope down to the lake. Play in the yard all day, or jump off the private dock and swim in the refreshing, deep blue-green waters! Pet fee is per dog per stay. No more than 2 dogs allowed, no puppies

Play by day and relax at night by the fireplace. Enjoy a pool table, dart board, and board games here in your home away from home. The dock has a built-in complete with bar stools, bluetooth speakers and a full-size fridge - perfect for relaxing on the lake.

The beautiful Great Room includes wood floors, a propane fireplace, and cathedral ceilings - a great gathering space for your entire family. The second kitchen downstairs is good for those who need some extra room or for cooking on different schedules.
Maximum occupancy 10 --4 bedrooms, 1 extra room with a bed and 3 baths. All bedrooms come with a TV with fire sticks for streaming videos.

This home is a great find for all who want to enjoy Smith Mountain Lake and its many treasures. The owners wish to make your stay here the best you have ever had on Smith Mountain Lake. The walk to the water is a bit steep with only a few stairs. Not great for wheelchairs or for people that have a hard time walking. Note: We start you off with a fresh roll of paper towels and toilet paper each bathroom. Cleaning fee includes sheets and towels.

Fantastic Family Celebration!

Our extended family of 8 adults gathered to celebrate a birthday milestone. The house was great - plenty of bedrooms and baths for all, extra refrigerator and oven in the basement, darts, pool, and tv's, a spacious deck with large table and seating for all, a terrific dock for our boat, and two kayaks. Ages 35-70 enjoyed it all! We had an issue checking in, as VRBO

Great Graduation/Mother's Day long weekend getaway!

The house is gorgeous and spacious. The ground level could easily be a separate living space with its own bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, and laundry. I made mistakes both checking in and out but the host and cleaning crew were quick and easy to help me fix it so I can’t commend them enough for that. If you’re someone who likes to cook food directly on the grill, you might want to make other plans due to some rust but the benefits of this home far outweigh that one minor thing. Thanks for hosting myself and my family! We appreciate you!!

Great Getaway

We were thankful to find this property after our FL trip was cancelled. The home was nice and very well stocked. It was so well stocked that we didn’t have room for the things we brought. The dock and view were a very nice addition. It was our first time at Smith Mountain Lake and it didn’t disappoint. The home was very comfortable. Absolutely appreciate the living room furniture. We had 7 adults stay for 9 nights and we were all very pleased with our stay. I will mentioned that in the pictures and description it says there is a queen sleeper sofa in one of the downstairs bedroom. It’s actual a queen bed which was a high plus. Would most definitely recommend a stay.

Stay at Shangri-La

The home is wonderful and is stocked well. The dock and boathouse was awesome! It is a steep walk but well worth it! We did bring extra paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper, etc. that we did need to use. We also brought our own beach towels which we needed as there were none there. We enjoyed our stay and would do it again!

Great spot to vacay

Our two families had a super time at this lake house! The dock is perfect and the water is wonderful on this little cove. We spent hours and hours on the dock, playing in the water, listening to music and just having a blast! Super close to Mitchell’s marina, there is a good restaurant a couple minutes away by boat or car. Grocery stores are a little farther away (20-25 min) so plan ahead. Walmart is 45 minutes away in Alta Vista. Everything in the house was nice. The beds were comfy, the water pressure was good, the two kitchens were supplied with all needed things and the pool table was a lot of fun! The one and only drawback of this house for us was the lack of trash facilities. No outdoor trash nor trash pick up so we had to drive 10 minutes to the dump. This is certainly not a deal breaker as everything else about our stay was great, but it’s very inconvenient.

Great family house

We stayed her for a week in mid July. It was me my husband, his parents, three teenage siblings, and a family friend couple. Even though there were many people in the house we never felt like we're were right on Top of each other. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Amazing spot on the lake for boating and Watersports!

Relaxing stay in a great location

Overall, the property is very good for a week's stay. Nice location and adequate parking space, good functional spare kitchen space and laundry area. Minor problems for our group: access to the dock is much steeper than shown in pictures; the last set of stairs by the water needs a handrail. One of our group has some health issues and it limited his trips to the water due to needing assistance to safely navigate the stairs and steep sidewalk. This should be disclosed in the description / pictures of the property The AC was very slow to cool the house (it was very hot outside) and in looking at the unit, the filters were fully clogged. There were extra filters but they did not fit the unit. Otherwise, everything was great. Thank you for renting to us.

June Family Vacation at Shangrila

We had a great time at the Shangrila! Our first family vacation with the grandkids. They had a blast on the dock fishing for sunfish and relaxing by the water. We fished for striper 4 days and had success everyday and caught some nice smallmouth and largemouth bass as well. We would definitely recommend this rental for a family; very spacious, clean, and in a quiet cul de sac on the water. We will be back next year.

We enjoyed our stay at Shangri-La. We had extended family with us for a graduation and the house was exactly what we needed.
