Treetop & Waterfront! Quiet Cove, Hot Tub, Kayaks, Game Room and more

Nestled on the slope of Smith Mountain Lake sits Firefly Cottage~ where the sky is lit up with stars and the fireflies dance over the water.

The cottage’s wraparound porch and windows offer beautiful lake and mountain views from nearly every room. The home has an open concept kitchen that allows you to enjoy the company of friends and family while preparing meals. There are multiple dining options including two dinner tables on the main level, a bistro on the porch, a picnic table on the patio and a bistro in the lower level. The cottage is unlike most others in that it has TWO full size kitchens and two docks on the lake.

Upon entry you will find the living room, two cozy bedrooms, a full bath with a beautiful tile shower, a washer and dryer for your convenience and the kitchen area fully stocked. Off of the back porch you will find stairs that lead you to a private, lower level perfect for family and children entertainment.

The lower level has its own private entrance, please note that it is accessible through the outside patio, so you will have to go outside to enter the game room area. It has a full bathroom with a dreamy freestanding tub, another full sized kitchen to prepare meals or store drinks, a foosball table, an arcade bowling game, a ping pong table, Wii console, XBOX 360 with a variety of games, a smart tv, and board games. For sleeping accommodations, there is a pullout couch that folds into a bed! This is the perfect area for additional family members or older children to hang out, but we do not recommend sleeping accommodations for young children in the lower level as it has its own entrances to the outside.

You will have to walk down some steps to access the docks on the lake. The water in the cove is deep and perfect for swimming, kayaking or docking your boat/jet skis. There is plenty of space as we have two private docks for your use.

The home is professionally cleaned and sanitized prior to your arrival. The sheets and comforters on the beds are washed in between guests, as well as towels and blankets. For your convenience, we provide these essentials for your stay;
Bath towels, beach towels, hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, body wash, wood for fire pit and marshmallow roasting sticks. You will also find some basics in the home such as spices and oils. While we try to keep coffee stocked as well, we can’t guarantee and recommend picking some up before your trip :) We have a regular drip coffee pot.

There is plenty of space for families to spread out in this cottage!

Firefly Cottage is only a 10 minute drive from Food Lion and 15 minutes from Bridgewater Plaza, a hotspot for tourists to enjoy fine dining, arcade, live music, putt putt and other entertainment. Enjoy a boat or kayak ride to Jake’s Place restaurant on the water, or Bridgewater Plaza in just minutes as we are right down the cove from these amenities!

This property was amazing! We really enjoyed the lower level/game room. The interior of the property was very beautiful and totally fit the vibe of the lake. The host was very responsive before and during our trip. Would totally book again for our next SNL trip.

A great & serene Lake getaway

This property is beautiful and provided everything you could hope for in a SML weekend retreat. 2 private docks, fire pit, hot tub, and a beautiful space to relax. Lots of fun things to do on site and it was a perfect getaway. Host was very communicative and went above & beyond.

Fun, Convenient, Family-Friendly Lakefront Stay

We had a great time celebrating my birthday at this beautiful lake cottage. The home has no carpet which is great - its spacious, well-stocked, and full of thoughtful family-friendly touches like Guitar Hero, games including a ping pong table, and a hot tub. AC was GREAT, the beds were comfy, and the separate guest suite—with its own private entrance, bathroom, and kitchen—was a great option for extra space. The pull-out mattress is simple, but a very nice additional sleeping arrangement if needed!The outdoor space was a highlight—great docks, kayaks, floats, and firewood ready to go. We also rented a boat, and it was super easy and convenient to do so. The neighborhood was peaceful and minutes from Food Lion and the shopping center.The steps leading down to the lake are tiled and have a bit of movement, so just take your time. Not a big deal but the shower head in the main bathroom is positioned a little awkwardly—nothing major that impacted our overall enjoyment! Taylor was a wonderful and responsive host who made the experience pleasant from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this place for a fun, relaxing lake getaway!

Great spot for family weekend

Super easy to get to and get into Moneta/Bridgewater for anything you need or want. Food Lion is about 10 mins from the place if you need to do any real grocery shopping. The market at the entrance to the neighborhood had a good selection of drinks and snacks too.If you rent a boat at bridgewater it's probably a 10 min boat ride back to the dock. The docks are on deep water and really easy to pull into.The family & dog loved being on the water and being able to have a nice quite cove to swim in.The house is great, the boys loved having the game room to themselves. The downstairs has a separate entrance, so we called it their apartment and they got a kick out of that.

Memorial weekend with family

We rented this cabin for a family getaway for Memorial Day. Everything was exactly as the listing stated. The property was super clean and well appointed. The property is unique with a kitchen on both levels and a full bathroom in the the lower level game room area. The views are stunning and I enjoyed watching the sunrise on the dock

Firefly Relaxtion

Everything about Firefly Cottage was perfect. The listing is exactly as described and more. Plenty of amenities, enough comfortable space for all of us, and the location was so peaceful and quiet. Taylor answered all of my questions quickly and was the most helpful host I’ve ever dealt with. We enjoyed every moment spent at the lake and look forward to coming back again next year. 10/10

Peaceful Getaway

This was a wonderful home away from home for our family! We never left the house because there’s so much to do there- board games, game tables, hot tub, kayak, movies, fishing, etc. Everything was clean when we came in and there’s an abundance of towels! It has everything you could need- pots/pans, spices, coffee, all the essentials. We were able to catch little fish (blue gills) off the dock and even caught catfish (the highlight of our trip). We had two young kids with us (age 1 & 2) so the kid life vests for the dock came in very handy. We would absolutely come back!

About a month after our first stay here, we returned for more relaxation and fishing. Once again, this house delivered on all expectations.We can't recommend this property enough, and will always look as our first choice when visiting Smith Mt. Lake.

Unforgettable time away

Upon arrival we noticed everything was very clean. The view is great. We enjoyed sitting on the porch, the docks, and enjoying time in the hot tub. Each room having a smart TV for the kids was a bonus. They enjoyed time in the game room playing ping pong. Sitting by the campfire and making s’mores was a great way to end our days. We can’t wait to plan a trip back.

Short but fun stay

We were looking for a place to stay that offered convenient fishing, nice views, and clean/comfortable quarters. This house checked every box!The kayaks were ready to jump in and row to the fish, life jackets and oars on-site. The hot tub was so perfect after getting chilled by the March breeze while fishing from the kayaks (we landed a 2 lb small mouth as our biggest catch).The comfy couch fit our family for good movie nights, we really appreciated being able to log into our Amazon and Direct TV apps.We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked another several days in April!My family is quite picky about cleanliness and we were very impressed with the Firefly.Food Lion was an easy 10 min drive for groceries and the bait & tackle shop at Indian Point Marina, just a bit further, has everything you might need if you want to fish.We are 4 hours away but it is well-worth the drive for us, we absolutely love the cove location and being surrounded by trees, high over the lake. The game room in the downstairs is a great spot for kids, and has a second kitchen and soaker tub.Overall a great choice for a family getaway!

Family Trip

Overall great trip with family. Husband, wife, 2 teens, and 2 dogs. The only downfall was I think the steepness of the property was not well reflected in the listing. Husband and dog (both older, so not the most graceful and didn't use the stairs) fell down the hill to the water. We ended up having to locked the older dog in the house due to it being unsafe for her. Other dog loved it and realized he could throw his ball by himself down the hill and into the water for him to fetch himself. He loved the water. Even with it being Oct, the water was warm enough for the dog. The house was really clean with a lot of supplies there (washing, bags, shampoo, cookware, etc)There was more than enough stuff to do at the house (kayaks, fishing, games, etc). Host was responsive and checked in. Do plan on coming back without the older dog in the summer.

Great Stay

We enjoyed our stay at The Firefly Cottage. The listing and pictures for the property were exactly what we experienced. Communication with the host (Taylor) was good, but we had no issues that required any level of urgency. The Smith Mountain Lake area has many options for activities. It rained much of the time we were there so we didn't spent any time on the water and still had plenty to do. I recommend searching for "SML Insiders" for info on area attractions.
