About this property

Private Coveside Paradise! WiFi, Hot Tub, FLAT Lot, Game Room, Kayaks, Beach

Journeys End brings you into your own private cove side paradise. Privacy surrounds you on every side of this magnificent Tudor waterfront property. Our home offers the perfect place for the luxury lake experience. You won't be looking at other homes but instead over two acres of pristine woods and an expansive 300 foot waterfront area with a huge gentle sloping lawn and gorgeous views of the lake from both the deck and dock area. You will feel like you have your own private park. The swimming area is ideal because it is protected from boat traffic and you can float to your hearts desire without floating away. To insure your safety we have added a dock lifeguard shock warning system to our swim area. Our water front has a great floating dock, stationary dock and a sandy beach area. When you are ready to put your feet up you can sit in the huge hot tub, or choose one of 3 decks or the lakeside dock area. Enjoy exploring the lake as you cruise the shoreline in our four complimentary kayaks or two paddle boards. At night enjoy our complimentary firewood and the lakeside fire pit area to roast your marshmallows. Every detail has been taken care of, and the quality of the home, appliances, and furnishings are unmatched. The expansive kitchen is fully equipped and your family can enjoy meals together around the large oak table with seating for ten. Granite countertops and high end large and small appliances are available for you to use. Watch movies together in the expansive great room with cathedral ceilings which can seat ten plus people. Children will enjoy the state of the art game room which can be found downstairs next to the children's bedroom. They will enjoy the ultimate gaming experience as they sit in surround sound gaming chairs to play Playstation 3, bring their own gaming system or watch DVD's. Battle it out as you enjoy playing a family tournament on the air hockey or foosball table. You will find high speed internet and Wi-Fi throughout the home. This home offers over 3,500 sq. feet of living space with 5 large bedrooms including a huge master suite and attached bedroom. There are 3 bathrooms, one on every floor and a half bath off the deck. Located right off the main channel of Craddock's Creek you are in a protected cove, but only a cove away from the most beautiful part of Smith Mountain Lake. We have a whole house generator to insure you are uninterrupted during your stay. The location is ideal and only a short drive to all the restaurants, boutiques, and grocery stores. There is plenty of parking for as many vehicles as you wish and plenty of room for your boat trailer. So be the first to let your journeys end be here in our cove side paradise.

Awesome Stay at Journeys End!

Our first time at Smith Mountain Lake based on some recommendations. Journeys End was a perfect place to stay! On the water in a quiet cove with a great yard. The house has everything a family could want. Plenty of space, games, hot tub, and every kitchen gadget you can think of. Nothing missed here! Nancy and Charles are great hosts! Highly recommend! Don’t miss this one!

Great vacation house!

We had a great time staying here. The house was clean, the property was well maintained and there was plenty of room for everyone. Plenty of parking as well. The dock was awesome and had plenty of space and furniture for everyone to sit and hang out. We will definitely be going back!

Wonderful stay on the lake!

We went for a quiet girls trip and could not have found a better place to stay! The property was clean and comfortable and had everything we need and more. The views of the lake were stunning and we were even able to get out on the property’s kayaks and paddle boards in November. The kitchen was a great size and well stocked. All of us hope to return in the future!

Peaceful family getaway in a beautiful private setting!

Your own private cove, plenty of space inside and out, a gorgeous lake, and great amenities - what more could you ask for on vacation? We had three generations with us, and everyone was happy - there's always something to do and a space of your own when you need it :) We loved it!!

Great house for a family vacation!

We stayed here with two other families--6 adults and 5 kids ages 2-6. We utilized every aspect of this great house: great big kitchen and eating area, grill and huge deck with a great view; the young kids loved the hot tub in the AM; fire pit was a great bonus; everyone loved time on the dock and in the water in the quiet cove. Would absolutely rent this house again!

Quiet Cove!

Wonderful week with family - very quiet cove with clear water for swimming. Kitchen had everything we needed and second fridge in the garage came in handy. Loved being able to have all of us fit at the dining table for dinner! Enjoyed hanging out on the dock and making 'smores by the fire pit.

Great lakehouse getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Journey's End. Beautiful home, beautiful backyard to the lake, beautiful view of the lake. Love the use of the kayaks and the dock area was wonderful to sit and read a book or to play or watch the sunset. The owners had smore supplies for us to use around the fire pit area also! Lots of appliances and kitchen tools etc. Loved it here!!

Beautiful home on the lake!

We rented Journey's End for a family reunion and had a wonderful time. We are all siblings and our spouses - all of us are seniors - and this place was perfect for our stay. We enjoyed using the kayaks, the paddle boards, the dock & the fire pit. There are plenty of comfortable bedrooms for the 7 of us and multiple places for dining on the deck & kitchen. The kitchen is well supplied with dishes, cooking equipment, and anything you may need. Thank you to our hosts for a very special stay!

Lakeside Bliss

Our stay at Journey's End was elegant yet cozy. As soon as we walked in, we felt our daily cares melt away in this gorgeous lakeside home, which was situated on the most beautiful lake property. No matter where we were, the view was breathtaking. The Home has absolutely everything and anything you could hope for. So much fun, joy and bliss! Hope to be back very soon.
