Great place and experience

We really enjoyed our stay. The townhouse had everything we wanted and the views are spectacular. We swam from the dock right outside just about every day and made use of the many Bernard's Landing amenities as well. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a getaway.

Highly recommend!

We had a great time at Smith Mountain Lake this year, and a significant portion of that was due to the property, the property owners and location. We would highly recommend Sally’s oasis. The owners were responsive and helpful. The property was clean and well-maintained. The kitchen is large, which we really appreciated, and well stocked. The house is located on a Cove which makes it wonderful for swimming off of the dock, protection of boats, and quiet. And there are several coves perfect for skiing, tubing or wakeboarding very close by. We will definitely try to stay again!

Absolutely lovely!

The setting of this property is hard to beat! We spent our mornings and evenings mesmerized by sunrise and sunset over the lake. Days spent floating in the cove, fishing from the dock, and playing in the yard made our stay together as a family so special. I would definitely choose this property again!

View is breathtaking!

From the back porch to the lake to the clubhouse amenities...repeat. Our family of 6 enjoyed every minute of our relaxing vacation in this comfortable property and resort. The back porch with its spectacular view was our #1 dining destination for the week. We've been enjoying SML for 40 years, and Bernard's Landing remains our favorite spot.

Perfect Weekend

Our family had a great time at Sally's Oasis. The view of the lake & mountains is spectacular! We had everything we needed. The complimentary bottle of pumpkin pie wine was wonderful. We had plenty of room indoors & out. We loved the indoor pool & hot tub at the clubhouse.

"Soul-soothing" is what we call it. " Sally's Oasis" is perfectly named by her.

We found the owners so caring and generous with our 10 day stay. The house is so well cared for and comfortable in furnishings. The kitchen is large compared to many others we have stayed at at Bernard's Landing. Lots of counter and cabinet space for many people to work around. The beds obviously have new mattresses which we found so comfortable. A real plus for the aching backs . There are so many places to enjoy seating on two levels outside. The meals out on the porches gave our family gatherings so much space . We have stayed at 8 different spots at Bernard's Landing over the years, and all feel that the spot has the best view on the Lake. Full moon gazing was made extra special in this location! Thank you for the hospitality of owners Keelyn and Chris. We'll be back soon.

Wonderful Home and Beautiful Views!

Sally's Oasis was a wonderful location for some of the family members attending our family reunion! Our hosts made the check-in process simple and were available if needed throughout our stay. We loved the home and it was well stocked with supplies that we needed. Bernard's Landing is a perfect location for a reunion and the Landing Restaurant on the property was great for a fun, delicious lunch. We highly recommend Sally's Oasis and would gladly stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Mitchell

Host profile image
Hello!

We are The Mitchells! I am the granddaughter of Sally (hence - Sally's Oasis) and Dave Hermansdorfer, who are the proud owners of this beautiful getaway. The Hermansdorfer family - including 4 generations - has been visiting Bernard's Landing for over 33 years. We love the tranquility of the community, and the adventurous opportunities that the lake and mountains provide. We currently reside in the Metro D.C. area, but many of the other Hermansdorfers are in Florida, Kentucky, and Tennessee! No matter what life throws at us, we always make it a priority to vacation at Smith Mountain Lake every year!

Why they chose this property

This property is extremely comfortable and peaceful, providing a perfect getaway for the most adventurous and not so adventurous personalities. There is plenty of action on the lake, through local nightlife, and surrounding attractions (like vineyards, skiing, and golfing), but, it is just as enjoyable for those who want to stay at home and watch the sun set, with a glass of wine in hand.

What makes this property unique

This is an all-in-one property; you can come and stay here for days without having to leave. Quiet neighbors, walking distance to the local restaurant and country club, and a safe community - onsite security. This is a place where you can let your kids run freely on the lawn between the townhouse and the lake, and enjoy the view from the back porch. 4th of July fireworks are quite a sight to see, and everyone at Smith Mountain Lake knows that Bernard's Landing has the BEST views!
