Hummingbird Cottage- charming cottage in quiet cove close to Bridgewater!

This delightful cottage is a must-stay for anybody looking for a get away to Smith Mountain Lake! The Hummingbird Cottage is a two-bedroom, one-bath home with 2 queen beds and a queen-size sleeper sofa. It's the perfect retreat for a couple's getaway or a small family escape!

The Hummingbird Cottage offers an open floor plan with a living room and an updated kitchen. The kitchen has a large refrigerator and stainless steel appliances. The living room has plenty of seating with a large wrap-around couch, and two chairs that face the wood-burning fireplace. The bathroom has a sink, toilet and shower. The living room and bedrooms are all equipped with flat-screen HDTVs and Blue-Ray DVD players. Relax near the wood-burning fireplace and watch one of the many movies, play board games, or get lost in a book. Wireless Internet is provided.

There are many outdoor spaces to enjoy at the cottage. The deck provides a peaceful, wooded setting to enjoy the views while relaxing or cooking on the gas grill. A gravel, switch-back path leads down to the dock. The dock is a great place to swim, fish, float, and enjoy the sunset. Two kayaks are available for our guests during their stay.

The dock is large enough to tie up a boat and jet ski. Electricity is available at the top of the stairs near the dock for recharging boat batteries. Public boat ramps are located at Hale's Ford Marina and Oak Grove- both within 15-20 minutes of the cottage.

The Hummingbird Cottage is conveniently located by water and land to many of Smith Mountain Lake's shopping and attractions, including Bridgewater Plaza, local wineries, Smith Mountain Lake State Park, Food Lion grocery store, and the Diamond Hill General Store. All are within 10 to 20 minutes of the cottage.

Note: A gravel driveway leads down a hill to the cottage. Boat trailers should not go down the driveway- the turn around area near the cottage is not large enough. Boat and jet ski trailers can be parked at the top of the driveway in the trailer parking area. Please notify owner if you plan to bring a boat/trailer.

Hummingbird cottage was the perfect weekend getaway for me and my wife! Clean, comfortable, and charming. Loved being in the woods, enjoyed a quiet kayak ride and fishing from the dock. Super cool record player! Kali was responsive and checked in to make sure everything was great with our stay. We didn't want to leave!

Late March Getaway
This is a great little cottage on Smith Mountain Lake. It is a clean and welcoming cottage with access to the water. As stated in the write up, there are a lot of stairs between the dock and cottage but it is well worth the climb. The kitchen is well stocked and it has a wood burning fireplace which we didn’t have a chance to use but I wish we had. The communication from the owner was clear and thorough and I could even say, above and beyond. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect for our month stay!
We loved the location as it is close to groceries, restaurants and shopping. Bridgewater area close by was a plus as well. Cabin is cozy and has lots of natural night. Our fur baby enjoyed it too. Steps to the dock and back good exercise!

Very nice unit. We had some issues with the door codes, but after that was resolved we had a great stay. We didn't have good cell connectivity, but one we were at the top of the driveway, it was fine.

My daughter and I had a lovely stay at the Hummingbird Cottage. Upon entering, the space smelled so fresh and clean! The home is very cozy, and had everything we needed to enjoy our time at SML! The owners are very responsive and even checked in via the app to make sure we had everything we needed. This is a perfect little place for a romantic and quiet getaway for two. I’ll definitely consider this property for future visits with my husband to the lake. A+

Birthday Weekend Getaway at Hummingbird Cottage
Our family decided to take a last minute trip to SML for my husband’s birthday and we couldn’t be happier that we chose to stay at the Hummingbird Cottage. Taylor made sure we had everything we needed and even checked on us during the stay. The cottage was immaculate! There were many board games to choose from, the kitchen had everything you’d need, and the view was beautiful.We enjoyed taking out the kayaks that were provided, fishing from the pier in the mornings and sitting by the fireplace at night. Would highly recommend The Hummingbird Cottage.

Great little cottage
We had a great experience at the hummingbird cottage. Kali and Taylor were super responsive, easy to get a hold of and fast in communication. The cottage is on a very nice cove and we used the kayaks they had. The chairs on the boat dock are great for morning coffee and watching the mist rise from the water. The cottage was nicely furnished and the perfect size for my husband and I. We had a lovely time.

Cozy waterfront cottage
Fantastic little cozy cottage on the lake with private dock. Everything was clean and as-pictured in the listing. The owner was super kind and quick to reply with any questions we had. I do recommend bringing bottled water to drink while there as the iron content is high in the tap water there, but that was no biggie for us :)

Great 4-Day Stay
Had a great time. House size was perfect for our family (2 adults - 2 young kids). Clean, with enough privacy. Spent most of our time on the dock, hanging out, fishing, and it was also great to have as we rented watercraft on multiple days. Would rent again!

Amazing Place for small get-together with friends
Kali was an amazing host, excellent communication and super flexible with our needs. The cottage was so cute, *clean*, and accommodated my small group of friends. So close to bridgewater plaza, we rented a pontoon boat for cheap from Parrot Cove, which was right across the lake, then enjoyed a cozy night with a fire by the water. Will definitely come back again.
