Great views and location!

First off, kudos to the owner who helped us out greatly when we needed to extend our stay 4 days. Condo was well appointed with a great view. We stayed about a month and it was a lot of fun getting to know the area and the locals.

Perfect for our family

All 5 of us enjoyed every minute in this beautiful condo and all the many included amenities of the resort, a pool just below the unit, tennis and pickleball courts, etc... There are courtesy docks to keep our boat while there for a small fee. We were impressed with how well equipped this place was and having 3 full bathrooms was also exceptional. The owner was friendly, responsive, and provided thorough instructions.

Perfect getaway for family

Very comfortable, thoughtfully administered, A+ experience. We visited in October and enjoyed every aspect of the resort. We went boating, swam in the indoor pool, used the rec center, and played at the beach. We will be back for sure, as it was a great time away for our family. Thanks again, Alex & crew!

Short Family Trip

We enjoyed the stay quite a bit. It was our first trip to Smith mountain lake, and Bernard's landing was great. The pool out back was my 6 year old daughter's favorite, and the little sandy beach by the community center was our 3 year old son's pick. We were only there for a few nights, but the condo suited our family. It was well appointed with most everything you would need. It's very close to all Bernard's Landing's amenities, and fairly close to other amenities and infrastructure around SML. I would recommend this property to other families and would happily stay here again at some future point when we vacation at SML.

Best Mini Vacation

We stayed for a long weekend in this condo and it was the best mini vacation. We loved the condo. It was beautiful, spacious and well stocked. We would love to stay here again sometime. The location to the pool and dock was perfect. We enjoyed swimming, boating, tubing, and fishing. We also loved sitting on the balcony every morning with our coffee watching the sunrise. We will definitely repeat this vacation!

Lovely Getaway!

Our family of six had an excellent experience staying at Alex’s property. It was just as described. The view of the mountains and lake from the main family room was beautiful!! Alex was a wonderful host and so easy to communicate with. He provided us with helpful information before our visit. This was our family’s first time visiting Smith Mtn Lake and it did not disappoint. The amenities at this resort were great. The pool, hot tub, beach and basketball kept our kids busy during our spring break trip. It was also a nice, scenic place to walk around. Thank you for a great stay, Alex!!

Very nice condo and great amenities

Condo was very neat, clean, and organized. Didn’t feel like I was lost and looking for things all week. Loved all of the labels! The pool at our building was perfect (even if it was a lot of stairs to climb). The amenities that went with Bernard’s Landing were perfect for my son with special needs, especially the pool table and the basketball hoop inside the racquetball court. Our grown family of six felt very comfortable with the layout and the amount of space in the condo. I would recommend it.

Perfect Getaway

The condo was exactly as described. We enjoyed easy access to the pool, lake, and club house. The only item that was a little unclear was regarding trash removal. It was definitely further than expected especially while carrying trash. Otherwise, the trip was amazing and I am looking forward to returning.

About the host

Hosted by Alex Funt

Host profile image
My wife Annemarie and I live with our son Ian full-time in Chapel Hill, NC. Annemarie and I are both University of Michigan and UNC-Chapel Hill alums. We work in higher education and pediatric nursing, respectively. We have happy memories visiting lakes with our families as kids and feel fortunate for the chance to make new lake memories in the paradise that is Smith Mountain Lake. We are also excited about helping our guests have happy, comfortable, and memorable vacations at Bernard's Landing.

Why they chose this property

We regret that we only recently discovered Smith Mountain Lake while looking for a quick getaway in the summer of 2020. After we rented a place and boat for a weekend, we inevitably found ourselves on realtor.com in subsequent weeks. When we walked into the condo and took in the view of Smith Mountain and the lake, we knew we found the right place. We spent about six months giving the place some TLC. At the end of the renovation process, we couldn't be happier with the beautiful condo we now have for our family and to share with guests.

What makes this property unique

The view, the lake, the pool below, the natural beauty of the area, and all of the resort amenities made this condo a perfect choice for us. You can boat, swim, fish, kayak, relax by the pool, sit on the beach, walk the grounds, run or bike, play tennis or pickleball, or just take in the views from anywhere on the resort while catching up with family. With the on-site restaurant Napoli by the Lake, the Bernie Store for shopping and odds and ends, and the close proximity to Westlake Corner, it's pretty much all here. There's not a spot on the lake quite like Bernard's Landing, and this condo has one of the best viewpoints. And we enjoy going year-round; our son especially loves the indoor pool and hot tub in the off-season.
