Lake house holiday rentals in Virginia

A group of four of us stayed over a weekend for the LIV golf tournament is Gainesville, VA. The house was pretty easy to find and located in a great central area. Directions to the house and check in instruction were clear. The home was clean and everything worked well. It felt like a mix of an old homey cabin with modern features. The overlook of Lake Jackson makes for a peaceful and calm atmosphere. Each morning we enjoyed a cup of coffee while overlooking the lake and listening the wildlife. Even saw a few bald eagles flying over the lake. Overall, our stay was great and Karen was helpful and responsive with any questions/requests we had. 5 out of 5 would stay again.

Creek Retreat is a perfect place to kick back and relax. Surrounded by nature, a private oasis. The space is well appointed, clean and comfortable. Tastefully decorated. Added amenities and attention to details elevate the experience. Enjoy kayaking and sitting by the fire. Georgia is a great hostess and is proactive and responsive. If you're looking for a getaway, book it here!

you won't regret booking here it's a very nice home i loved my stay and 100% will be booking here again.

Spacious, beautiful home perfect for groups! Highlights include stunning views, a well-stocked kitchen, fun basement game room, multiple areas to sit and relax outside, and ability to rent and dock a boat at the home throughout your stay. During this lake vacation we had a ball swimming, fishing, kayaking, boating to restaurants, and ordering treats from the ice cream boat! Some reviews mention run down houses on the private road leading up to Kate's home. Just respect the 15mph speed limit and the neighbors are quite friendly. We spoke to one who was out gardening and told us about Moneta before the lake was built! If you're eager for a lake vacation, this is the place!

Of my many Airbnb stays, Laura’s comes up with the very best. Her home is lovely, inside and out, with a lot of fun activities to choose from. Located on a beautiful creek opening to wide water gave us a chance to explore in her kayaks and paddle board. Rainy weather meant indoor board games, reading etc on the beautiful protected porch. The kitchen had all sorts of amenities for cooking. Plenty of bedrooms for sleeping in the peaceful atmosphere. I can’t wait to return there!

Would definitely stay here again! We came as a larger group of 9- there was plenty of room for all! My son and nephew spent the entire weekend fishing off the dock while others played yard games (included in rental). Beds were comfy, kitchen fully stocked! Location was perfect - not too far from "civilization" yet surrounded by woods and felt very private. Communication with owner was always easy and responses were fast. Do not hesitate to rent here!

We had a great stay at the lake house. There was a private dock located very close and a swim area just a couple minutes down the road. The house had beautiful views and was well stocked with everything we needed for the week!

the house is in a great location and the private beach and dock were amazing! the house has rustic charm and all the amenities you could need. Henry was a great host - quick go communicate and provided lots of clear details about our stay as well as helpful information about things to do in the area! this vacation was a perfect mix of acitivity and relaxation. we would definitely stay here again!

Convenient to boat launch, good dock, beautiful clean place on the lake. Definitely recommend

this is a must stay if yoy want to relax from the outside world private dock was ver convienent and his house was very cozy this will be a destination i will come to again for sure !

The place was exactly what we expected. You won’t find a more responsive owner than Glen. He came from Raleigh on Memorial Day weekend to unstop one of the toilets. Very open to checking in a bit early and also checking out late. Will definitely return

Me and my wife enjoyed our stay here at the cabin,the hot tub was a nice place to relax in & and we felt comfortable throughout our stay🙂. The host Natasha is super kind and friendly,We fell in love with the home definitely will book again for the next summer☀️👍

Was a great last minute find! Everything we needed was provided and Andrew was a responsive and polite host! Thank you guys!

Both Dan and Scott could not have been better hosts. This is our 2nd year in a row staying at the Sunnyside Up cottage and we couldn’t have picked a better place. The cottage is quaint and clean. It is fully stocked and has everything you could need for a few nights stay. The communication was excellent and the instructions were very clear for checking in and out. We will definitely return for another stay in the future. The best part about the Sunnyside Up cottage are the views of the river! They are gorgeous!!

Pros: This place is exactly as described. Beautiful views and wonderful amenities. Loved all this house had to offer. It was definitely worth what we paid. The lake was clean and the dock was perfect for swimming. Very secluded and private. Cons: very tiny bathrooms/sinks. Beds weren’t made when we arrived, but atleast we knew the sheets were cleaned. Soooooo manyyyyyyy ticks and spiders (which we know the Airbnb doesn’t have much control over, being in the woods). Overall we had a wonderful week stay here and would come again.

Trish and David, A heartfelt thank you to you both for sharing your home with us. It was exactly what we needed. We created lasting memories to cherish. I wish you both all the best and hope to see you again in the near future! Blessings to you both. We enjoyed star gazing on the hammock, campfires at night, farm eggs for breakfast, tubing on the river, the barn and solo, the canoe, just resting and taking walks. And of course our trusted companion Louie. We caught so many fish as well. Alex, thank you for taking time to share with us the wonderful aspects and history of the farm!

This is our 2nd time being here and we were not disappointed! This house has a beautiful view. Pooja is a wonderful host. We were welcome with a basket of snacks. Kitchen and bathroom are fully stocked. Pooja provided more than enough for our stay and we had everything we need. House is clean and beds are comfortable. My family had a great time fishing and kayaking. Thanks Pooja for your hospitality!

This house is a gem! It’s our second time staying here and my family loves it! We have two adult daughters, a son-in-law and two granddaughters, we love the pool, pool house with pool table and the screened in porch! All of us have our own levels of bedrooms and bathrooms. The place is clean, has the little touches of home and Lois is a dream to work with. It’s on the pricier side but you get what you pay for! We hope to return next summer! I hate writing such a good review because it will only be harder to book in the future!

We had a great stay in Smith Mountain Lake at Rachel’s home. It was a great home for our family that came to celebrate our son graduate from Liberty University. The drive was about 50-60 minutes to Lynchburg, but it was nice to be out at the lake and out of the traffic of Lynchburg. The home was fully stocked with everything we needed and more (crockpot, baking pans/dishes, pots/pans, full butlers pantry/laundry room), the bathrooms were all updated, all linens were provided, paddleboards/kayaks were fun to use, we enjoyed the pool table in the basement, the dining table sat 8 which was great for all of our meals and gathering with family. The living area on the main floor is sizable and open providing a good place to gather, the basement allows another option for people to spead out and have space and many decks outside to enjoy the lake. We would stay here again.

More than exceeded our expectations! Even more beautiful than the pictures! We wish we had found this place when our first of 3 went to Liberty University, rather than for the graduation of our youngest. Our stay was too short to fully enjoy all the fun things to do ie on the lake and campfire. We felt like we could spread out with the four different patios/ porches, yet we could all come together and spend time in the extra large family room. Great place to walk - absolutely gorgeous! This place is amazing!!

I cannot say enough nice things about Sarah and her place. The space was absolutely beautiful and functional. There were tons of great amenities and a well stocked kitchen (pots, pans, things to cook with). Sarah herself was an amazing host. She went above and beyond for me when I had a booking issue. She always responded very quickly. She even left our group some donuts, which was the sweetest surprise upon arrival. This house was perfect for our weekend book club retreat. We made so many memories and hope to be back next year!

We had a wonderful stay at this adorable home in Marion, VA! From the moment we arrived—greeted by deer in the yard—we knew it was going to be a special place. The house was absolutely perfect: cozy, comfortable, and spotless. The home was thoughtfully stocked, and having familiar touches like Dawn dish soap, Bounty paper towels, and B&BW hand soaps made us feel right at home. One of the highlights for our kids was having their cousins over to enjoy s’mores by the firepit—such a great outdoor space for making memories. The location couldn’t have been better either—close to the lake and near the rest of our family who were staying in cabin rentals at the park. After seeing our place, they might just opt for this one next time! Let them try it! This is our place now! While this trip was bittersweet, as we were here for my father-in-law’s burial in Saltville, having this warm, welcoming home to gather with family made all the difference. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

We loved our stay here! Clean, cozy, great amenities, and loved the direct lake access. Kayaks were a plus! Everything was even better than expected and we would stay again!

We had a Wonderful time at Rachel's Lake Seclusion!!!! It is a beatifull place. My whole family enjoyed the home. Kayaking and paddle boarding were awesome at the river dock. The views are spectacular!!! Rachael is a great host.
