Best Dam View at Smith Mountain Lake!!!

If you want a million dollar view to go along with a spectacular property, Best Dam View will not disappoint! This property is the latest addition to Wind Luxury Properties joining our other properties at Smith Mountain Lake (VRBO #'s648334 Wind Family Estate, 515931 Wind Family Compound, and 825368 A Second Wind), our amazing home on the Rappahannock River (VRBO #966039), as well as one of the nicest homes at Wintergreen Resort (VRBO #1208597). Best Dam View will continue our goal to provide the most luxurious properties in the Mid-Atlantic region! Our properties at Smith Mountain Lak are rented Sunday to Sunday in the summer weeks from the third week of June to Labor Day..

Upon purchasing this amazing home, we immediately undertook extensive renovations to take it to the next level. New in 2020 the home underwent renovations including new floors, fresh paint, new windows to soak in the priceless view of Smith Mountain, a state of the art designer kitchen suitable for a chef, and 2500 square feet of deck space, half of which is under roof. The extensive decks provide outdoor living space to maximize your ability to enjoy the signature view of Smith Mountain Lake's famed "gap," and relax with a cool breeze blowing off the lake only 25 feet away! There are a very limited number of homes on the entire lake that can lay claim to this magnificent view and we look forward to sharing it with our guests. The grandeur of the porches cannot be overstated and you will find yourself wanting to savor every moment on them.

This home boasts 5 bedrooms (beds for 12), including 2 true master suites, and 4 full bathrooms. A spacious open floor plan living room was created by removing walls that flows nicely into a dream kitchen with new floors, cabinets, countertops, and appliances. A formal dining room is available, as well as bar seating but we strongly suggest you follow our lead and eat on the deck whenever the weather allows! A virtual wall of glass allows full enjoyment of your view from the kitchen, living room, sunroom, and bar area. Four of the 5 bedrooms allow you to see the lake and mountains from the comfort of our new beds and with access to the decks either directly from the rooms or nearby. Downstairs also provides a ping pong table as well as a card table for rainy day and late night entertainment.

Along with an amazing property, we will provide all the luxuries you need to enjoy your stay at the lake including kayaks, canoe, paddle boat, stand up paddle board, fishing rods, and other toys!

For your safety, we have security Sytems at all of our homes which some homes inlaced outdoor security cameras.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. The bathroom with a shower/tub combination features a jetted bathtub and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Make use of convenient amenities, which include an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Weekend Getaway
Beautiful location, kitchen & views were amazing. The dock was great for the boat we rented. We spent almost the entire time on the dock fishing or jumping, or floating on the rafts provided. The paddle boards & canoes were awesome!

Our family’s lake week
We loved the location on the lake and really enjoyed the decks and the dock area. Lots of water toys that were fun. The house layout worked well for us. We needed a few kitchen items that weren’t there. The house felt a bit tired…loose door knobs, window blinds, outdated master bath, leaking shower in second main floor bathroom and had some struggles with main floor tv. Still the house worked for us. Nice big kitchen with lots of storage.

Wonderful time at the lake
We had three generations at the house and everyone had a wonderful time! The house is beautiful and had everything we needed for our stay -the comfortable beds, super nice kitchen, and expansive decks were the highlights. The hosts were helpful and responsive. The best part though is the incredible view of the lake and the dam! We can’t wait to go back!!

Definitely best view on Smith Mountain Lake
Beautiful, newly renovated home with definitely the best view on Smith Mountain Lake! The close up view of the dam and mountain is breathtaking. The location of being tucked in the little cove helps with the boat traffic in that area. Really a great location to be in and still have that amazing view. Property seemed very clean and well kept. check in process was seamless and Ashley was easy to get in touch with along with answering all the questions we had prior to arrival. Definitely a return spot!

We loved that this was such an updated clean lake house. We really love l this neighborhood on this side of the lake and look forward to returning to this one! Thanks for the hospitality!

We had an amazing fall getaway to Smith Mountain Lake. The home fulfilled all of our needs and the views were break taking! Our favorite part of the stay was sitting in the porch outside the kitchen. We will definitely be keeping this in mind for next year!

The lake experience was fantastic! The house location, activities and water sport equipment were excellent. The house had some minor issues i.e. ceiling fans not working/broke, plumbing and cleanliness. However, these issues didn’t affect our great vacation at SML.

Incredible location
My family and I went with 2 other families just for the weekend. Ages of kids ranged from 3-12 years of age. The house had plenty of rooms to accommodate us all. Beds were comfortable. The deck and dock were the highlight. There are kayaks, canoes and a paddle board. It’s a two story dock and the views are awesome. Mitchell marina is around the corner which makes it easy to rent boats. We rented a pontoon. We will definitely stay here again. Make sure you bring your own soap, trash bags, paper towels and toilet paper. None is provided.

The house house is beautiful and has a million dollar view
It's a beautiful house that we stayed from Friday late morning to Sunday early afternoon. Eight of us slept in 7 confortable, nice beds. 4 out 5 bedrooms, the main floor, 2 large porches and the high deck at the boat docking area have a great beautiful view of SML. Best part is waking up before sunrise to enjoy the view at dawn on the main level porch. We really enjoyed the porch with SML view at any time of day. Walking around the neighborhood after lunch is also very nice, safe and peaceful. We rent a boat big enough for 12 people, we 8 ladies had a wonderful experience boating in the SML. About 45-minute drive to the house in fall is very beautiful. State park is only 19' away from the house. Great restaurants near by the house (17' -35'). People at SML are very friendly and kind. I rate this property and SML 5 stars! The house driveway is very stiff. Need to pay extra attention and project the way when driving.

Our family had a wonderful stay! The house is beautiful and had everything we needed to have a great time. Love all the water toys / kayaks, SUP to use. The views on each level were beautiful, we barely left the house since we didn't have too. It was our first time to Smith Mountain Lake and will not be our last.

We had a great time visiting with family and friends recently at SML! We rented this home and the other one on Woodland Terrace that Ashley manages. They were both awesome houses. We were glad everyone has able to be accommodated by both houses comfortably. Ashley was really helpful to our group from start to finish. We hope to get everyone together again!
