Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Smith Mountain Lake

This home was spacious and beautiful! We honestly didn’t want to leave. Close to restaurants and grocery stores. We would love to come back and stay.

This place was perfect for my family including my husband and 2 daughters ages 15 and 12. I had come into Roanoke for my 25 year college reunion and wanted to be close to the Hollins campus. The house was less than five minutes from Hollins and also maybe a 10 minute drive from downtown.

Brandon was an excellent host. We were moving from north to south and he allowed us to arrive at a flexible time due to the long drive. He was a great host and the place felt very welcoming. PLEASE consider staying here, thank you so much Brandon!

Needed a last minute break with the kids and we all really enjoyed our time here. Close drive to the state park beach area, too.

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

Jonathan was extremely responsive. A very kind and flexible host. The carriage house had everything we needed.

Really enjoyed our stay! One of the days was rainy and it was still great to just sit and read a book while looking at the lake. The main reason we booked this location was for the sandy beach area, it did not disappoint. Made it very easy to get our dogs in the water. And not have to take them to the park. The hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating. The also returned the dog cleaning fee very quickly which is always appreciated!! The dock is very well positioned for easy in, easy out should you want to rent a boat. The pictures are an accurate representation of the home. Easy to move around and a good seating. The deck is very large and can’t wait to see what they do with the reno in the spring!

A hidden gem to relax in the mountains and surrounded by deer making it a dream place to stay. 10/10!

Great views! Hot tub and pool were excellent!

Place was amazing, easy to find and very peaceful. unfortunately the wifi password listed was incorrect and we were so busy we didn't have a chance to ask for an updated one. The refrigerator was also not working and didn't keep our food cold/frozen. Overall, a wonderful trip! I believe if we were less busy and asked Cathy about both wifi/fridge she would have solved those issues for us. We only stayed 2 nights so these were minor things!

Great stay for the value! Home was clean and cozy. The surrounding area was peaceful which made for a relaxing stay.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Keeping it Real! The condo was comfortable and clean and with a gorgeous lake front view. We had an extra request upon checking in and Reginald was very accommodating. I would stay again!

Our family came in from Texas for LUOA graduation at Liberty University. This place exceeded our expectations. It was such a peaceful retreat. It rained on our first day and it was so relaxing on the screen porch watching the rain fall, followed by a bright rainbow. Morgan recommended some restaurants. We tried Bruno’s, Tiff’s, and the grill down the road. All the food was excellent and conveniently located nearby. The kids played the board games provided. One of our kids stayed on the screened porch facing the lake and finished an entire book there. They brought a basketball and pickleball gear. They played basketball every day. They were resurfacing the Pickleball courts so those were not available. They enjoyed that arcade a lot! Kids also made a sand castle at the beach down the hill and walked the golf cart path. We saw lots of deer to their delight. We also bought fresh eggs from Willow Run Farm (cute shed on side of road). So good! Overall great stay! Loved the decorations.

I must say this was my first experience with ever staying in a Airbnb and wanted a change from a hotel and very glad we decided to give this a try. Tammy was an absolutely awesome host very responsive and a very nice lady. The description matches everything. Very beautiful property and very clean.

Great stay. Cute condo right above restaurant and store. Brought my SUP and used it a lot. Lots to do at Mariner’s landing. Great food and service at The Landing, Bruno’s and Bottles and Bites. State Park 7 minutes away is excellent for hiking. Lots of friendly neighbors! We’re ready to go back!!

My sister and neice and I stayed at Key To Stay's condo for 2 nights in February. I had previously stayed at that same condo in November. I originally gave this condo a great review, which is why we rented it again. This visit had a few maintenance issues, but they were eventually resolved and Key To Stay made sure to reach out to me personally to make sure we were satisfied. I do appreciate their commitment to making sure they improve the guest experience. I will definitely be staying here again after the wonderful customer service. The location is beautiful, the lake view can't be beat. The area has some great places to eat also.

Great stay exactly as expected

My brothers and I celebrated our folks 80th birthdays and the accommodations were perfect for the occasion. Although the sixty five steps to the shore was prohibitive for them, the close Marina was adequate for boat ride pickup/drop-off’s. The double throughput driveways and the off road parking was convenient. The paddle boards and kayaks was a nice surprise. The place was clean, had a well stocked kitchen, rooms were spacious and location was relatively private and quiet. Over-all, everyone loved it and we’ll likely be back for another family getaway!

We took my parents here for a gift and it was a fantastic place to stay as a family. The location is gorgeous and feels private. Beautiful view of the lake, great dock, quiet street-amazing spot for a relaxing getaway. The kayaks and paddleboards were great fun (private launch!) and the house itself is spacious, charming, and perfect for our group of six. We enjoyed the grill, massive kitchen, beautiful sunroom, and more. As a host, Christine was very helpful, responsive, and friendly. A+ stay!

Had such a great stay at this house. Beautiful scenery, lots of porch and outdoor space, relatively private from neighboring homes. Bedrooms and amenities were as described. Kitchen was pretty well stocked w/ cooking implements and whatnot. Elizabeth is a super responsive, friendly host that made us all feel at home. Would def go back!

Absolutely loved this place! One of the cleanest places I have stayed that allows dogs. Everything about this home is thoughtful and welcoming! My daughter and her friend LOVED the basement and the fairy lights! They are 11 and the basement was a real treat for them. The porch was so relaxing for us AND the dogs! The dock was perfect! Great layout and we immediately felt at home.

Absolutely loved our stay! The house was spotless, beautifully appointed, and had plenty of options for our family to relax and have fun. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot on Smith Mountain Lake—highly recommended!

Carol was a great host - super helpful, responsive, & kind. This spot is such a gem. Unique things to do in the area, and such a relaxing and beautiful atmosphere in their space. Will hopefully be back soon!

Ben was a perfect host. Very communicative and will do whatever it takes to make the stay as good as possible. Beautiful property and very cool layout with multiple dwellings on the property. So many beds! Great lakefront just an easy walk down from the main house. The deck with fire pit and outdoor TV along with the wiffle ball field make for a great place to hangout and spend the day with your group! Would definitely book again!
