Overview

Prepare to kick back and relax at this incredible Peaks-of-Otter stone cottage, located on the beautiful shores of Smith Mountain Lake. Truly unique and charming, the house has decks on two levels offering stunning views of the lake. You'll love the private dock with deep water and a floater for all of your water activities.

Surrounded by huge trees for privacy and shade, the property gently slopes across over two acres, with a large fenced yard for guests with dogs. Each oversized room overlooks the lake, as do all the decks and porches as well. Unwind in an Adirondack chair or relax in the hammock as you gaze out over the calm waters of the lake. Relax in the hot tub at night with the stars to guide you and the lake waters to calm you.

Inside, you'll find granite countertops and wood floors. Two bay windows and large sliding glass doors offer an unobstructed view of the lake from the main level. A modern kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances (including a dishwasher). For those visiting in cooler weather, the house features a gas fireplace in the living room. Each bedroom has its own TV in addition to the TV in the family room. A pool table provides hours of fun for the whole group.

    The view and privacy.

    Pat B2025-09-18

    We love the fenced in back yard. Deck was large with two ladders perfect for getting in and out of water. Amenities were excellent. Private setting.

    This older house is shaded all day, which is nice in the hot summer. The fenced yard for the dogs was the dealbreaker in choosing this home and was really convenient. Lots of space inside and on the deck for large groups of people to eat together. Very quiet within the house from room to room. I'd give this home a 3.75 if I could

    Our family enjoyed a fantastic long weekend on the lake at Heron’s Rest! From Thursday to Monday, we made the most of our time together with good meals, boat rides, fishing, games and swimming. The house is in a great location and right up the road from a convenience store. There’s also an Italian place right there that we got takeout from one night. We rented a Tritoon boat for three days from Bridgewater Marina and were able to pick up/drop off right there at the State Park, which was close to the house. The Portside is a must hit spot with the boat! I liked the fact that the house was on a little cove with no one directly next to us. It was private and quiet. We fished from the pier and floated around during the day. Our chocolate lab enjoyed swimming in the lake, and it was really nice to have the fenced in yard to give him a break from the water. Overall, the place is very nice and clean. My only criticisms for the property were that 1) the lights on the pier did not work at all on the first night, which was a huge safety issue. I called Vacasa and someone came out the next day to repair the electric, 2) the steps coming up to the pier from the water are very slippery, 3) the hot tub jets do not work at all. I think an upgrade should be made on the tub, 4) the master bedroom had a musty and damp feel to it. I give Heron’s Rest a 9 out of 10 and would go back there again. Hopefully some of the things above can be fixed for future guests. We did have a great time!

    We really enjoyed our stay at Herons Rest! The fenced yard was amazing with the dogs. The view was gorgeous. Beds were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was probably one of the best stocked for kitchenware of any house we’ve stayed. Griddle for pancakes, lots of cooking sheets, skillets & other items. Very convenient drive to Moneta for restaurants and fun activities. We rented a boat from Bridgewater Marina. Great experience! We also loved the food at Alessandra’s - a 5 minute drive from the house.
