Old fashioned lakeside retreat

This small house on a cove of Smith Mountain Lake was the perfect retreat spot for my husband and me. We absolutely loved the large screen porch, facing the lake. We also loved the simplicity of this cozy cottage. We spent 5 days & never left the property! We never turned on the TV. We drove away already talking about when we could come again.

Lovely private cottage!

There is a public boat launch less than 5 minutes away and their dock is perfectly secluded like the cottage. Although there are only two bedrooms there is plenty of room inside and out. The deck and screened in porch area are wonderful for evening lounging and the yard is HUGE! It is convenient to several local restaurants by boat or by car. The hosts are friendly and very accommodating. Don't miss out on this hidden gem. John and Sandy are the Key's to a great stay at SML.

About the host

Hosted by John and Sandee Key

Welcome to The Key Hole. We have owned this property since 2003. It has been a blessing to our family. We are a family of five with three girls who have grown up paddle boating up to the “Carp Store,” tubing behind the boat, doing the polar plunge over Easter break, and catching hundreds of brim in their “nest.” We have our best family times here and are hoping you will too!
