Bernard's Landing Hillside Lake Escape @ SML

Come relax and enjoy the breathtaking lake and mountain views at our 1 bed 1 bath condo on Smith Mountain Lake!

The condo is located at Bernard's Landing, a premier waterfront resort. Come experience lake life on the 70-acre resort that offers lush green spaces, panoramic views of the lake and year-round activities for the entire family. The amenities at Bernard's are endless! They include:
- 2 Outdoor Pools- the main clubhouse pool has a hot tub and children's wade pool &
play area
- Year Round Indoor Pool and Jacuzzi
- Beach which is directly in front of our unit!
- Gym & sauna
- Boat launch & courtesy docks are available
- Tennis Courts (3), Pickleball Courts (4), Racquetball Court, Poolside Basketball
Court, Beach Volleyball Court, Horseshoes and Cornhole
- Walkable restaurant on site: Napoli by the Lake
- Bernard’s Boat Rental on site
- Play All Day Watersports offers kayak and paddleboard rentals

Our ground level condo is newly renovated and ready for you to enjoy! A ground floor unit is a premium that you never knew you wanted in a rental. It's a quick walk right off the back deck to the beach, dock, clubhouse pools, or on-site restaurant.

The large bedroom has a king sized bed with linens (which is rare for rentals in the area!). There is also a desk in the bedroom if you are looking to move your home office to a new location for awhile! Although it may be pretty hard to get work done with the lake views calling your name!

The bathroom has been updated and has a walk-in tiled shower. Towels are also provided (which again is a rare find)!

The kitchen is updated with new stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. It is fully stocked just like yours at home! A microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and blender are a few other appliances offered. New pots and pans, dishware, glassware and barware are all provided. Just off the kitchen is a brand new washer/dryer stack unit.

The new living room sofa has a pull-out queen memory foam mattress. The 48inch TV has cable set up for you to relax at night.

A new 4 burner grill is on the back deck. Sit back and enjoy the views on the new Adirondack chairs!

It was so peaceful with amazing views!!We enjoyed watching the deer stroll across the lawn in the evenings and the chipmunks scamper around chasing each other! The full moon rising over the mountain was spectacular! The accommodations were very comfortable. We definitely recharged our batteries!

This is the perfect condo for a couple. It has beautiful views of Smith Mountain Lake. It is on a hillside so be prepared for a walk if you want to access the water. The beach and boat docks were at the bottom of the hill. There are no nearby so be sure to get any needed supplies on the way in.
