MOUNTAIN VIEW SHORES is a lovely development with many year-round homes, it features a private boat ramp area where you may park your boat trailer for the duration of your stay. It has paved roads and central water system. Ideal for walkers and joggers. Lake location is supreme being near the mountain and the dam at the deepest, cleanest part of the lake. The land was originally owned by the Appalachian Power Company (which owns the lake) and a group of 10 investors from Bedford bought the land from the Power Company in the late 1970's and developed the subdivision comprised of over 400 lots, offering the land for sale one section per year, selling out in 4 years.

We had a great time. The place was just as described. Felt very comfortable and homey. The lay out of the house was ideal for privacy and most anything you need for cooking is in the kitchen. (Bring a can opener tho) The property management team was superb and made the process super easy. Wonderful getaway that I would definitely recommend!

Great house and location, but shamefully managed by property management company
House and location are great. At the time of writing, the home is managed by a property management company and we did not have a good experience with them. They did not communicate well and never responded to documented/reported safety issues at the property involving unsafe conditions on the path from the house to the lake - we actually had someone slip and fall and emailed the management company but NEVER got a response. On top of poor exterior property maintenance, you have to drive out of the way to an office to pick up keys upon check-in, which I haven't had to do in at least a decade, and also the home is not furnished with any towels or linens and it is left up to the renter to arrange these services (vs the property management company handling it). If this were my home, I would not let the current management company manage my property - they are detracting more value than they are adding to the overall rental experience. Because of this, we will not be returning to this property and it is a shame because it is a really great spot on SML.
