Castaway - Waterfront

Experience the ultimate lakefront getaway at Castaway, where a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure awaits you. Whether you're a wine enthusiast, a golfing fan, a shopping aficionado, a fishing fan, or someone who loves exploring the lake, this charming 2-story lake cottage is your ideal vacation haven.

Nestled by the water's edge, Castaway is conveniently located near the scenic SML State Park. Its dock, surrounded by pristine waters, provides ample space for tying up boats, play with water toys, and enjoying a sturdy ladder for easy water access. The lake's fresh and clean water ensures a delightful experience for you and your family.

This well-appointed lakehouse features two floors that offer privacy and comfort. The main floor includes a primary King bedroom and two Queen bedrooms, all accompanied by a hall full-bath. The lower level features a den with a large flat-screen TV, an additional bathroom, a laundry room, and direct access to the dock, all while providing beautiful views of the lake.

Castaway's treasure extends to its sunroom, providing intimate seating areas off the kitchen for leisurely mornings with coffee. The upper deck is an outdoor haven with a patio table, grill area, and several seating options, allowing you to savor both lake views and the vibrant activities at the dock.

The dock, positioned in deep water, is perfect for water sports and fun. It is a no-wake cove. The outdoor spaces offer numerous options for dining, entertainment, woodland creature-watching adventures, or simply unwinding while taking in the serene lake surroundings.

For those seeking boating adventures, several local marinas are just a short distance away, accessible within 10 minutes by both boat and car. Whether it's Parkway, Mitchell's, or the SML State Park, each destination offers boat rentals. The State Park goes the extra mile with hiking and biking trails, providing the perfect opportunity to enjoy some wildlife.

Make your vacation unforgettable at Castaway, where the best of lake living and outdoor activities come together.

The house was perfect for our family. A great slope down to the water, just what you need in the kitchen and beds were comfortable. Deep water at the dock was great!

Castaway
We booked this property on fairly short notice as a getaway for Independence Day week. This was our first time visiting Smith Mountain Lake. The house and location were absolutely perfect for our family of four and our dog! The house was very clean and comfortable. It's located in a deep "no wake" cove on Smith Mountain Lake close to Parkway Marina. Being able to dock our boat at the boathouse located on the property made boating very convenient. The house had three bedrooms and a full bath upstairs as well as a full bath downstairs and a large daybed. The back yard is a hill that leads down to the boathouse. While staying at the property we enjoyed boating on the lake, horseback riding at Spring Valley Farm, and taking a sightseeing airplane ride with Smith Mountain Lake Aviation located just up the road from the property. Overall, we had a relaxing and memorable time and can't wait to stay at this property again!
