We had an excellent time at Crescent Bay. The house itself is gorgeous and the mountain and lake view is beautiful. We had a blast paddle boarding, kayking, fishing, and relaxing on the dock. Christine was also a great host and made checking in and out super easy. I'd recommend this bnb to anyone looking for a relaxing lake retreat.

Six of us came for a 40th birthday weekend and this house was perfect! The views and amenities were stunning. The sunroom and kitchen ended up being our favorite rooms. Beds were wonderful, everyone had a good, peaceful night sleep.

Amazing views of lake and very private. Can’t say enough positive things about this lovely lakefront house and host. Beautiful lighted dock at night, moon glowing on water, private cove, multiple outdoor fire pits, water toys/kayaks, clean lake water, comfortable beds, amazing fully stocked newly renovated kitchen, adorable library room, the list goes on and on. Don’t miss the opportunity to stay here! We will definitely be back again soon! 10 stars all the way!!

We had a wonderful stay! The place is amazing - it is private, great access to the water - new dock in the middle and also two separate sandy accesses from the shore to the water, which are great for little kids! The kitchen is very well equipped (the toaster and microwave were inside the cabinets so make sure to look early on - we found them towards the end of our stay, but did fine without). Beds and pillows were comfortably, showers had good pressure, good washer/dryer. I felt in love with the stripy beach towels and already ordered the same kind for me! Restaurants and groceries within reasonable distance. Lots of helpful instructions and notes from the hosts, which was super helpful. Both Rachel and Marissa were very responsive and helpful with our questions. The views were just gorgeous! Highly recommend this gem!

We travel frequently and stay at many different places—Airbnbs and hotels. This home is in our all-time top three (including some of the places we’ve stayed in Italy). Incredible views of the water and mountains. Expansive home with everything clean and a great kitchen. We spent all our time on the lake—swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, sitting on the dock, or outside by the fire. We’re going back to our DC/NOVA home fully rejuvenated! And absolutely amazing hosts—caring and super responsive.

This is our favorite place to stay at Smith Mountain Lake or really anywhere. Great place inside and out that keeps my wife and 4 kids happy. The view is amazing and the house is great. We loved the place before it was renovated and now it is even better. We look forward to staying here again!
