Just installed a RFG whole house air purification system. Proven to kill 99.99% surface and air viruses, including Covid 19. According to their literature RGF® Environmental Group, Inc., a leading environmental design and manufacturing company, has released the results of a third-party test that proves the PHI-PKG14 PHI-CELL® product with Photohydroionization® technology inactivates greater than 99.96% of airborne SARS-CoV-2 virus. The report is the first-of-its-kind to test for viral reductions occurring within the actual air. Utilizing a direct air sampling method rather than surface or in-duct measurements, researchers analyzed the efficacy of neutralizing airborne SARS-

This spectacular all Cedar Home is located on beautiful Smith Mountain Lake and is one of eleven homes nestled in a secluded no wake cove. We sit above the others cabins offering a spectacular view of the lake and mountains. Our entire property has been professionally landscaped and is just stunning. We have crepe myrtles which line the road and the entrance to the lower lever. Please review the plate under the map page on this site.

Our renovated gorgeous home hums with relaxed energy which you will feel the moment you enter. Features a gourmet kitchen with granite counter tops and Tuscany styled charming maple cabinets, a large great room with cathedral ceilings and an incredibly beautiful floor to ceiling stone fireplace. There is also a electric fireplace in the Sunroom. Our one level home’s main living area is totally open so if you are in the kitchen, you are not isolated from the other guests. Cedar beams throughout the house adds a unique charm to this beautifully decorated and inviting home. All the furniture is extremely comfortable and cozy. We added an additional sun room featuring a panoramic wall of glass sun room provides breathtaking views of the lake and mountains from anywhere in the living area. We have two flexsteel all leather sofas and electric recliner in this room where there is a 45" T.V

We offer four bedrooms and three full baths. The master bath has an oversized custom tiled shower with three shower heads. The bathroom off the family room offers offers a Jacuzzi tub and shower. The lower level queen bedroom has its own private entrance with full bath, not tub. It can not be accessed from the interior of the house, offering complete privacy. The cabinets are all rich maple with granite counter tops. The upper level bedroom has a sliding glass door to the deck, which offers a fantastic view of the lake and Smith Mountain… what a way to wake up each morning. The lower level sling door opens to a stone patio.

We have one of the easiest access to the lake for those who have walking issues as you can drive directly to the waterfront, just a 30 second drive. Also you can walk the road or take the 100 steps down to the waterfront. The walk down the steps to the waterfront is surrounded by beautiful gardens on both sides, please see the pictures.
Amenities include a 45 inch HD Sony TV, surround sound speakers and outdoor speakers, great for entertainment on our oversized trek decks.

We live in the house for several months of the year so the house is appointed with every pot and pan, dish and glassware imaginable. Many of our guests has told us it is far better equipped than their own homes. We also provide an array of spices.

The lower deck has a 8 person pagoda, surrounded by flower pots and woods. It sits behind the hot tub, great for entertaining. Several people have commented that we have the most beautiful decks on the lake.

The view from the hot tub offers a full view of Smith Mountain with amazing sunsets and is in very private setting. We also planted lots of herbs on the deck for our clients use, a wonderful feature that all my clients have enjoyed. Everybody waters the plants on the deck, sorta of pass on the beauty for the next folks arrival.

Our no wake 60 acres cove is famous for its abundance and variety of fish. It is where the strippers spawn every year and fisherman catch bass, muskies and cat fish right off our docks. You will see an exciting array of wildlife including eagles, owls, ospreys, hummingbirds, wild turkey and of course deer but we also have several albino deer which are spectacular to see if you are lucky.

Because the cove is “no wake” you can swim, kayak, paddle board and canoe without being disturbed by jet skies and motor boats, a rarity on the lake. We are only a 500' to the entrance to the main channel so you have go far before you can produce a wake. The cove is surrounded by a 2000 acre wildlife mountainous nature preserve so your views are of deep woods, silhouetted by Smith Mountain and its surrounding mountains. Smith Mountain Lake has 22,000 acres of clean water and has 500 miles of shoreline.

Crape myrtles surround our property in late summer bursting our gardens with a variety of color. Autumn paints the landscape in burning brush strokes of red, gold, and orange. Each season is unique. Each a part of the beauty that surrounds our

Quiet, serene, beautiful -- a fresh adventure in the leisure life awaits you. Pick your pleasure. Maybe it's a romantic winter weekend. Or a family designed dip into summer water sports.

Fantastic weekend getaway!
We had a wonderful time at the Yowell’s log cabin lodge. Our family consists of 6 adults, one toddler and family dogs and the setting was wonderful for our getaway weekend. The view is spectacular and the home is very comfortable and well equipped. We were blessed with a picture perfect Nov. weekend with warm days and cool nights and the fall colors were still vibrant. Alicia was very accommodating and easy to reach. We are already planning a time to return!

Great Girls Getaway
We had 2.5 glorious days on the dock and enjoyed the hot tub on the rainy day. It was fantastic to be able to drive to the dock. The living area seating was perfect for our group as was the large dining table. It’s wonderful to have linens, TP, and several other items provided. Our hostess was attentive to our needs, and we appreciated her thoughtfulness.

End of Summer Family werkwnd
What a wonderful lodge! We always come to SML after Labor Day ever year to enjoy the less busy but still warm and lovely lake! An added plus was being near Mitchell’s Point Marina where we enjoyed a delicious meal and great live music! We would def stay again! The kayaks and paddle board were a big hit too and convenient since they were right on the property. Thank you Alicia for your hospitality!

Family Time ... in Paradise
Our family trip was truly paradise ... the lodge exceeds all of our expectations ... all of the amenities were clean, the kitchen was completely stocked and the pantry, stocked with all cooking supplies. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were so comfortable. The open layout allowed for the entire group to socialize while doing so many activities, playing games, eating, watching TV and quietly reading a book while enjoying the view ... as I watched my family enjoy our family time, I was so thankful that we were able to find such a beautiful place to make our memories.

Greg and I love our house and location. We love to swim, boat, golf, fish and spend our days reading on the dock or deck... life is good!

Why they chose this property

We purchased our home in 1983 and have just loved vacationing with our children over the years at our home. It is one of most magical spots on the lake. The views are just breathtaking. We think we have the most beautiful view on the lake

What makes this property unique

Beautiful mile plus country road runs throughout our community, perfect for walking/running. Hardwoods woods throughout and very little traffic. Mountain biking just a mile away and beautiful;l shoreline walking trails at Smith Mountain Lake Park, just ten minutes away. For the more serious hike, the Blue Ridge Mountains is just one hour from the house, home to many nature trails or hike up Peaks of Otter Mountain and enjoy a picnic lunch along a stream or at the quaint restaurant.

One of three no wake coves on the lake. Ours is the largest, perfect for kayaking, paddle board or canoeing. We rent all three types of boats for $75.00 each.

We have four bedrooms with one located on the lower level. It has a full bath, queen bed with a TV. You can access this room only from going down the steps from the deck. It is completely private and guests have had to toss a coin to see who gets this charming, private bedroom. It is in demand.

We have a king sleep by numbers bed in the master bedroom with an oversized master shower that is stunning. We also have a queen bedroom and a twin.
