Welcome to Brenda — Your Getaway on Smith Mountain Lake
Brenda is your true lakefront home-away-from-home, steps to the water via a gentle slope. With a private dock, hot tub, and space for all ages, crisp mornings and golden sunsets set the tone for rest and reconnection.
Located on Smith Mountain Lake, this updated 4-bedroom, 4-bath home combines the comfort of a modern family house with all the charm of a lakeside cabin. Whether you’re here for leaf-peeping, winery-hopping, game days, or a quiet weekend with family and friends, Brenda offers everything you need for a stress-free, memory-filled fall stay.
Lakefront Living Made Easy
Enjoy true lake access with a gentle, no-stairs walk to the dock — a rare find on Smith Mountain Lake. Start your day sipping coffee on the deck as fog lifts off the water, then paddle out in one of the two kayaks to explore the colorful shoreline.
On sunny afternoons, adventurous guests can stretch out on the 6×20 ft Lily Pad, while others can relax in the hammocks with a blanket and a book. As the evening air turns cool, unwind in the hot tub under the stars or gather around the fire pit for s’mores, laughter, and a glass of local Virginia wine.
