The Retreat at Pine Haven extends the living area with incredible stonework that includes an enormous fire pit and patio.
Picture yourself spending your mornings on the back porch as you enjoy your coffee and watch the sun come up over the lake.
Even on the hottest days, it is nice and cool on the lower patio deck. Relaxing, listening to the sounds of the lake, or planning the days adventure, you will love this spot.

Perched on a bluff overlooking the Blackwater at Smith Mountain Lake sits The Retreat at Pine Haven

Ask about adding Kayak Rentals to your stay.

We are immediately available by phone, text or email if any need arises, but we will not disturb your stay.

Pine Haven is a unique enclave of log homes on 8 beautiful acres with 1200 feet of shoreline on Smith Mountain Lake.

You, your family and friends will have exclusive access to the entire retreat including the amazing fire pit and patio. In addition, enjoy shared access to the floating dock which is awesome for swimming or tying up your boat.

We recommend getting around on the lake by boat when at all possible, but if you must drive, the property is accessible by car, suv or motorcycle.

There is absolutely no smoking allowed inside the cabin and due to allergies, no animals of any kind are allowed inside or outside of the house.

Nice Place

My brother, sister-in-law and I came to Rocky Mount for a concert at The Harvester. We loved Rocky Mount! This place was conveniently located to Rocky Mount. It was nice to sit on the porch and watch the boats, and we had a great breakfast at the Marina. We would stay here again!

Relaxing and quiet getaway

Beautiful location overlooking the river. It was off-season and quiet and beautiful. Very well maintained and clean property. We had fun roasting marshmallows by the firepit overlooking the water. Thank you Lannette for opening your home for us to enjoy a comfortable and cozy stay!

Cute Cabin

The cabin felt clean and is nicely decorated. Kitchen is good. Beds are comfortable. A couple of new cabins being built in the same community so there were construction vehicles, workers, and noise. Would stay there again.

Nice cabin but maintenance outside lacking

The inside cabin was very clean and well maintain. We came to see the beautiful scenery but you can definitely tell that the owners do not focus on the porch area. Cushions were worn and filthy and cobwebs all over the place which made it uncomfortable sitting outside to enjoy the view. Porch area had not been swept or cleaned for a very long time..

Lake Cabin

We loved this lake side cabin. Enjoyed the firepit one night and decks. Cozy cabin with 2 bathrooms on main level, 1 bedroom (mattress was ok) downstairs and 1 bedroom (great mattress)upstairs. Kitchen was well stocked with nice cooking utensils/pots. Nightlights were thoughtfully provided in bathrooms for those nighttime visits! Overall nice accomodations, excellent view, porches and firepit!

Quaint Cabin Near The Coves

We stayed here as it was close to The Coves concert venue AND linens were provided! We also took advantage of the kayak rental. The property manager was prompt to answer any questions. The property is beautiful and well maintained. Future guests might want to know there are two bedrooms (one on each level), and two bathrooms (both on upper level). And, you are responsible for trash removal (addresses provided). We would stay here again- LOVED the dock at night. Lots of stars!

Very nice experience

Nice clean lake front location with a dock for your boat. We brought our personal 21’ boat and was able to leave the trailer on site. The ramp was within 10 minutes away. The cabin was in a group of other cabins but was still private. The porch overlooks the water with some limited views. The stairs to the water and dock are very steep so be prepared for that. This property provided all the linens which it seems most others do not. Very nice patio and fire pit. All in all we would recommend this cabin or the others. Thanks for providing a nice vacation opportunity.

Great Anniversary Escape

A very relaxing three days, drinking coffee on the porch watching the sun rise over the lake. The cabin was spot on for celebrating our anniversary. Also had a great time fishing off the dock. Looking forward to a return trip.
