Cute waterfront lodge. Nice clean rooms. Our room was a king room on second floor with balcony. I…read morereally liked the fact that there were 2 doors for our room. 1 in the back by the parking area for easy unloading luggage and another door in the front that takes you to the balcony overlooking the lake. This place is pretty laid back. Great place for a fishing trip or boating weekend. There is a boat dock right in front, along with some picnic tables and lounge chairs to enjoy the view. Rooms are cute and comfortably decorated. Mini frig and microwave. Bathroom was quite large, but vanity was way too small for any useful purpose than simply a sink. Also, beware of floor and shower area, as it can be quite slippery when wet. No hair dryers, so bring one if needed. The price was reasonable, but the view was priceless. Relaxing and cozy. We would stay here again if in the area.

Seems to be a popular spot for fishermen. The room was a little small but looks like it had had a fairly recent update. It was clean except for one thing - an overly pervasive smell of cat pee in the room. There are feral cats everywhere (which wasn't a problem because I love cats) but how that smell got in the room I can only guess. The smell seemed to get stronger as the night went on. Not sure if other rooms have the same issue or we were just the lucky ones...

I had no plan to rent a boat but the fleet looked well cared for (almost new) and I jumped. The crew was really nice and helpful. I took out a "Tritoon"with a 200hp Yamaha. The lake is huge and there is some amazing sightseeing. I found a cove, anchored, finished up some work and then went for a swim. My 2 hour rental flew by and when I arrived back at the dock, the crew was waiting to help dock and replace my used fuel. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. For a spur of the moment adventure it was amazing. I highly recommend Bridgewater Marine.

The houseboat had a slide on the rooftop deck that was so fun to use. We had packed food for ourselves so that we did not need to leave the houseboat for those 3 days. That way we maximized our time in the water! Would love to do this trip again!

The pricing here for a pontoon boat is one of the best you'll find in Smith Mountain. The trade off…read morefor that price is boat speed. Our boat was SLOW. Ever other boat was passing us in the lake, including every other pontoon boat. The boat itself was clean and worked well but was a bit torn up and dented in places. Only other complaint was the horn and radio not working - supposed to be used to signal danger, etc. They said we had to use the whistle instead of the horn. We asked if we could just get a different boat and the woman replied "I think none of our boats have horns that work."

This is a fun location with several businesses: Virginia Dare Cruises: If you are going to take a tour, you might as well include food ($40 with, $25 without). The trip covers interesting areas around the lake. If I did this again, I would chose Mother's Day or Pirate's Day for fun. The park staffers also join one of the tours to share information about nature and wildlife (you can also get that information at the state park, but it is fun on the boat). Virginia Dare Marina: If you need gas, expect to pump it yourself. There aren't any employees to help tie your boat, so make sure you have someone with you. The area is small and a little tricky to maneuver if it is crowded. Marina store: If you want Great Lake souvenirs, I would go to the shops at Bridgewater Plaza (they have staff at the gas pumps too). The Marina store has limited items. Portside Grill and Bar: You can have breakfast or lunch in your bathing suit. The food is almost like camping with a grill, but it is decent casual grub. Breakfast is around $8 and lunch is approximately $12. Sides are cheap. If you want more space, visit Mangos.
