Gus's Getaway- Dog friendly home with huge dock with electricity - pool table and old school juke box

Nestled along the water line near the end of a secluded dead end road you'll find the cozy cottage, Gus's Getaway.
A large yard and lake views greet you as you pull down the driveway to this cabin. As you enter the side door you'll notice the open layout and find yourself enjoying oversized leather living room furniture, a decorative fireplace, and beautiful views - providing a "home away from home" feeling.

As you enter this pet-friendly 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, you will immediately notice the breathtaking views of the lake through three sets of patio doors overlooking the lake from the dining and living areas, spanning the entire front of the home. This vista is especially spectacular during sunset. Step outside onto the roomy deck and breathe in the fresh lake air while relaxing around the table or preparing a meal on the gas grill.

The kitchen, with full size appliances, is fully stocked with what is needed to prepare and enjoy a meal, and is found immediately inside the entrance and directly off the open plan dining area, which offers seating for six.

The spacious living area is directly off the dining area, making it easy for your group to spend quality time together. Here you will find comfy armchairs and a large sofa perfectly positioned to enjoy the gorgeous scenery.

Just off the living areas find a shared full bathroom with a shower/tub combo. Across the hall from the bathroom are two bedrooms, one offering two sets of twin bunk beds and one offering a queen bed. The master has a king size bed with a full bath en suite.

Big dock great for fishing or sunbathing. Guests have use of the floater. The slips will not be raised or lowered for reservations.

Lovely fall getaway

Property was very comfortable for 4 adults and a large dog. Due to the pandemic, we spent most of our time at the house and playing games with family. Nice surroundings to walk daily in the rural area. The lake was beautiful and used by boats, jet skis, and waterskiers.

Lake getaway

Great spot to relax by the lake and watch the leaves change! The dock has both covered and uncovered areas, perfect for any type of weather! And the home itself was very clean and cozy!

Great lake location, decent house, neighbors dogs are loud

This house is economical and priced right for the money. The location on Smith Mountain Lake is good... close to a couple places by car and boat. The house itself is decent and clean. On the negative side, all of the nonstick stuff is coming off the really old pots and pans, which made them unusable as a cancer survivor. Plus, there are no baking dishes. Lastly, the next-door neighbor is literally in this home’s backyard and has three dogs that bark constantly. I’m a dog lover and dog owner, and the situation with her barking dogs is unbelievable. It’s a literal cacophony. You can’t have a conversation while in the backyard. Plus, this neighbor has access to the house, and was utilizing the washer and dryer when we arrived, which was uncomfortable .... we were to have the use of the entire home, not share space with a neighbor. If this person ever moves away, this house will be much improved.

Beautiful location

We had a great time staying here (my wife and I and our two dogs). Beautiful location on the lake with a huge dock for swimming/lounging. The house had everything we needed and plenty of space.
