Beautiful lake view. Unfortunately, the rain/clouds did not cooperate to see the beautiful sunset when we tried to catch it. The cabin is lovely and spotless. We had everything we needed. The only recommendation is to put in ceiling fans or have some floor fans available. We saw all kinds of wildlife during our stay. We loved fishing off the dock too! Great property. I would love to own it. Save my contact information and contact me if you decide to sell it.

Ive totally enjoyed renting through Smith Mountain Lake Vacation Rentals. The staff have been ABSOLUTELY AWESOME in taking care of my rental plans and have always treated me like family!

Our trip was very special. The house met our needs in every way. We love coming here. We appreciate how well the owners have taken care of this rental. Its comfortable, well equipped, and very close to the water. Some might find the steps a challenge to go to the dock. The property is in a great location. The house itself is accessible from two levels which makes entry easy for unloading people and groceries. The house is well equipped and furnished, and was very clean when we arrived. The kitchen had all the cooking implements I could ask for. This home loves pets. They evn have a special dog ladder for the dock. The dock has a good covered area for those of us with very fair skin and for my daughter who worships the rays. We will be back! Michael August 2019

My husband and I needed a get away from our busy schedules and wanted somewhere peaceful and quiet, Guss Getaway was perfect!! Beautiful view and everything we could need. My favorite part was the water view and sitting on the big dock at night watching the fish swim around the underwater lights All in all just after our first night here I knew without doubt we will be back!! SML Vacation Rentals were great too. Excited to see other places in the future!! My bestfriend and I will ne making a trip in April. See you soon SML. - Misty M

This was our first time coming to Smith Mountain Lake. We booked online with Smith Mountain Lake Vacation Rentals, due to some unforeseen circumstances we ended up having to make some last minute very confusing changes. The office staff was nothing but wonderful to us. They worked with us quickly and politely and helped us come to an agreement that worked for us all. We rented Wagon Wheels and had an absolutely fantastic experience. The cabin was perfect for our family of 4. Our 2 daughters enjoyed the dock and rope swing the whole week. After our family at home saw the pictures online they immediately told us they would be coming with us next year! It looks like we will be upgrading to a house to accommodate 3 families to enjoy for next summer and we wouldnt think of booking through anybody else!

The experience could not have been better! From the easy process involving Smith Mountain Lake Vacation Rentals, the beautiful home that we rented, and the lake. Amazing does not do the optics of the lake justice. Thank you for making it all so easy. You guys are the best. Kim and I had a great time at SML for our 30th wedding anniversary and we chose to spend it at the lake. We cannot wait to get back to relax in that setting again.

We had an amazing time at Smith Mountain Lake. Meritage Cove was absolutely fabulous. We had every age group from 16 months to 66 years old, plus our dog Dempsey. The home was a perfect fit. The dock was amazing for swimming, docking our rental boat and jet ski, fishing and even just to sit out and watch the sun go down. The neighbors were very friendly and thats a huge plus. We cant recommend this place enough for dog owners. They even had a water bowl for our boy! Thank you so much to the owners for allowing us to enjoy their home and for Smith Mountain Lake rentals for being such an easy company to rent through. We will definitely be back as soon as possible. Thank you, The Raykiewicz family

Fun house - thank you! We played lots of pool and had fun fishing right off the dock. Great times with family!

Wonderful house and dock! We have thoroughly enjoyed our week here. The cove is perfect. We look forward to coming back next year and the years to come. Thank you for opening your home to us. We love it!

Had a wonderful time! Place very clean - all great appliances. Rental company took care of anything we needed or a had a question about! We will be back next year. Thank you for letting us stay here!!! Rating: 5 Stars

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely lake home with us! It was perfect in all aspects! We enjoyed relaxing on the deck while we ate our meals and took on the views. Our 13 yr old lab very much appreciated your hospitality and gentle sloping beach into the lake! It was our first visit to this beautiful lake and we will be back.

Enjoyed your house. This is our third visit to SML and every time we come we want to move here. Our son chose a visit to SML with us as part of his graduation gift. Caught 4 catfish and a 5 lb big mouth bass off of your dock! Our golden retriever loved the dock, the beach and our boat! One week here is just a tease!

"As thick grey fog spiraled up Smith Mountain, the lake mirrored the suns rising. It was yet another beautiful spring day at Smith Mountain Lake. My family and I have thoroughly enjoyed our visit in your charming home. We rested well, played hard at fishing and other water sports, enjoyed using the VCR for our favorite movies, and relaxed on one of the three/four solitary locations for a short nap or to read a good book. The kitchen, which was kept busy with the culinary talents of many cooks, was very well equipped with lots of casserole dishes, mixing bowls and loads of great utensils! We feasted on crepes with a creamed spinach sauce, fresh raspberries, blueberries in a sour cream sauce, fajitas, fried fish, fresh vegetables, homemade breads, salads, desserts - key lime pies, brownies with vanilla ice cream and thick fudge sauce. The list goes on. The boat dock afforded us time to feed the ducks and geese and the sunfish who really liked bits of bread! Fingers of lightening radiated the sky, gusts of wind gave voice to the chimes on the porch, and torrents of rain created a curtain of shimmering beauty. Our time here has been filled with anticipation of welcoming our children, their spouses and our grandchildren with the enjoyment of their visit and with sadness at saying good bye until another time when we will be together again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!"

Here for a week of relaxation, and thats exactly what we got! House was perfect for us, 2 busy boys and Grandma and Grandpa. Smith Mountain Lake is beautiful - perfect for swimming and boating. Thanks for the terrific stay!

We had never been to Smith Mountain Lake before and we love it. It is very relaxing and fun. We jumped off the dock so many times and rented a boat at the state park. We went to Bridgewater Marina too. Thank you for a wonderful trip!
