Check Out

Before you leave...

Important Information

Check in time: 4pm
Check out time: 10am

Due to the lengthy turn over process, early check-in/late check-out is not available. It’s quite an undertaking for the cleaners!!

Garage Door Code: Last 4 digits of your phone number
Dock Door Code: 5131

Wifi Username: NETGEAR83
Wifi Password: newcream439

OR scan the QRCode signs in the home for easy wifi login!

Media Streaming:

All TVs are Smart TVs. Please bring your own login information for your favorite media viewing accounts.

The TV above the fireplace in the upper living room is on a mount which allows repositioning to a comfortable height via remote control.  To prevent injury and damage, please do not manually move the television or put weight on the automated mount.  The remote can be found on the fireplace mantel for operation of the mount.

Please log out of your accounts upon check-out!

Directions:

From State Route 655 (Diamond Hill Road) turn onto State Rte 750 (Hales Ford Rd). Continue 2.6m then turn right when you see a large green sign that says “Lakeview Estates” onto Deer Path Lane. Stay to the far right each time the road forks until you get to the end of the road. Parking is available for up to 5 cars on the gravel driveway. 

Please do not park or drive on the grass where septic distribution lines support the home.

The driveway is tight for trailers so they are not permitted down the drive. If you’re bringing one, you can park it at the top of the driveway near the mail drop boxes before heading down.

Trash Drop Off:

Guests are responsible for bagging and taking their trash to one of the nearby convenience centers. They’re close by, easy to use, and set up for both household garbage and recycling. A few include:

• 12341 Moneta Rd, Moneta, VA 24121
• 1048 Morgans Mill Rd, Goodview, VA 24095

Most guests find it easiest to stop on their way out for a day, or before heading home. Most gated convenience centers are open 7am-7pm (except for holidays).

Carboard and general trash are disposed of separately.  Check their site for more rules!

Boat/Trailer Access:

We’re located in a quiet, no wake cove — perfect for swimming and relaxing! Please be sure to follow Virginia’s wake laws and keep speeds to idle-only within the cove to protect both the shoreline and other lake-goers.

The boat lift is for owner use only, but the docks are all yours and you’re welcome to tie your boat to the cleats on the fixed or floating dock (many of our guests do this).

Because of the slope, launching your boat from the property isn’t possible, but the Smith Mountain Lake State Park Boat Ramp nearby (Northeast of Marker R19 in Huddleston, VA 24104) is a great option.

There are also many boat rental companies and options available with various pricing, quality, age, and vessel types.  Google “Boat rentals Smith Mountain Lake” for a more comprehensive list and pricing or check here.

Grounds maintenance advisory:

In order to maintain the grounds, our landscapers will be onsite (exterior only) 2x a week. This usually occurs early to midday on Monday or Tuesday.  The 2nd time is usually around 4ish on Thursdays. Guests must allow our landscapers and any maintenance crews to perform their duties, including any necessary repairs or maintenance work.

Also – with 10 acres of land- expect wildlife (and steep slopes in some areas)!!  We are a favorite stopping point for heron, deer, geese and many other critters!  

Rules:

  • Don't bring pets.
  • Don't smoke cigarettes, cigars, vape, etc in any space that is not completely outdoors.
  • Treat the property (furniture, floors, rugs, etc) with care. Any damage or stains to furniture, rugs, or other items must be reported immediately. Guests are responsible for damage caused during their stay.
  • Leave coolers in garage (and do not drag heavy objects on wood floors) to prevent scratching/otherwise damaging the wood.
  • Boat lift is for owner use only.
  • Dry off and remove shoes before coming in on wood floors to prevent damage.
  • Don't pour grease or any foreign objects into any drain or toilet as it could cause a septic backup!
  • Don't host any events (beyond the registered guests) without permission as this will void our home insurance policy.
  • No self-tanner, glitter, confetti, dye (i.e. hair dye), slime, playdoh, sharpies, paint (inc. hobby paint), kinetic sand and/or silly putty.
  • Don't park or drive on the grass. That's where our septic lines are and we want to keep them working!
  • For your safety, do not enter/tamper with the owner's closets.
  • Do not take items from the home in order to prevent additional costs.
  • Don't tamper with the security system or internet. Tampering with the security cameras and/or the security system (disabling, covering,
  • re-orienting. or otherwise impacting the operability) is considered a felony in Virginia and grounds for immediate cancellation with no refund.
  • For your safety, do not enter/tamper with the owner's closets.
  • Do not take items from home in order to avoid additional costs.
  • To prevent injury, please do not attempt to to manually move the TVs on wall mounts.
  • Do inform us of any issues within 48hrs of arrival.
  • Do allow our landscapers and any maintenance crews to perform their duties, including any necessary repairs or maintenance work.

Extraordinary Fees/Fines:

  • Pets are not allowed. Pet Fine: $500/night plus damages.
  • Smoking of any kind is prohibited inside the home including within the garage. Smoking Fine: $500/night plus damages.

  • Damages could include extraordinary measures and fees incurred by the property owner in order to remediate any issues related to odors, stains, and all material defects (i.e. damages that affect the beauty, use, and enjoyment of the furnishings, home, grounds, and/or building itself).
