The owners take great pride in making it welcoming with decor, cleanliness and upgrades as needed. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking any type of meal. The grill is great and hooked up to a big propane tank so you don't run out. This year we brought 2 paddleboards and used the boat dock to get on and off. The professional ice maker and cooler at the dock ... We plan to come back everyyear for as long as they rent it. ##### Kathi V. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael T.

Sunsets were beautiful and we had dinner every night on the deck. The house was perfect and had everything you could want!

Smith Mountain Lake and Rother's Retreat was the perfect place to escape all the politics surrounding the pandemic. The home was just as it was described and shown in the pictures. It was well equipped and the furnishings very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the dock all times of the day, where we could park our jet ski's safely, enjoy picnicking, fishing and floating on a raft. The location of the home was perfect as it was in a quiet cove and at an end of the lake where it was not overly developed. The view from the home overlooking the lake was absolutely lovely. We all agreed, we would return to Rother's Retreat! ##### Sherry E. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren K.

The home and property was even better in person than we expected! The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The downstairs living area was great for children to spread out and play games. The window treatments provided a great dark environment for little ones to nap! The dock setup was fantastic for our small children who spent hours and hours jumping in the lake. We were able to easily tie up our own boat in the floating docks, and ate many lunches down by the water in the shade. The cove was quiet and protected from boat traffic and great for swimming. Overall a fantastic rental experience. We’re ready to go back! ##### Lauren K.

Our family enjoyed everything. The home’s decor is lake themed and very well kept. The dock was fantastic and on one particular day we spent the entire day on the dock and kayaked everyday. We played yard games on the flat green grassy backyard and enjoyed a cookout using the grill and ate dinner on the deck’s dinning table. We will definitely request to stay again! Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home! Bring hand soap, dish washer soap and dish soap, all paper products including toilet paper. Any spices and salt and pepper, anything you’ll need for your recipes. The home does provide a lot of pots and pans, dishes, and utensils. Minute Mart does sell groceries if you forget stuff. ##### KELLY M.

Also extra slips for boats or jet skis. The cove is huge and quiet. No worry with big boats racing by. The back yard to the dock is nice and flat and room to throw ball and play catch. The house has a huge deck with plenty of seating and a nice gas grill. The house is better than the pictures! Two king rooms, two queen rooms and a double bunk room. All the mattresses were very comfy and slept well! The whole house has been remodeled with two living areas and plenty of wifi with all the essentials on the smart TVs. We are cooks in our family, the kitchen is the best stocked kitchen we have ever seen! Very nice cookware and everything you need for vacation! Two things I would "suggest" to add to the home-are some play things to use on the lake. We brought our own floats and a ride to pull behind the boat we rented, but maybe a kayak or a paddle board would be nice to use. They did have life vests and some pool noodles available. Also, a fire pit to use, we wanted to make s'mores and we did not see a space to do so. So we roasted them over the gas grill and made do! This is a GREAT house, super clean and up to date, super comfy beds and plenty of space to spread out. A kitchen that is stocked with all you need. An AWESOME dock and cove to play and boat around. Also, you can boat to a few restaurants nearby! We give this a 5 star review!! Thanks to the Rothers Family for sharing their home! We loved it! ##### Sarah L.
