3 Bedroom House in Goodview

As far as vacation destinations go, it’s hard to beat a trip to Smith Mountain Lake. Providing visitors with an area that’s as scenic and tranquil as it is packed with potential for outdoor adventure, you’ll want to make the most of every moment you’re here. Enjoy accommodations that bring the beauty, comfort, and luxury you deserve by booking into The Mermaid’s Tail during your stay.

Be prepared to marvel at the incredible views! While the option is available to spend long days at the lake swimming, fishing, or boating, you’ll be just as inclined to indulge in the many comforts of this luxurious home while you’re here. The upper and lower decks make the exterior of The Mermaid’s Tail just as inviting as the interior. Coffee and birdwatching on the covered upper deck or dine under the covered lower deck. Spend time lounging in the sun around the swimming pool or making s'mores around the firepit.

A step into the great room brings guests face-to-face with impressive vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and plenty of comfy seating settled wonderfully in front of a towering stone fireplace. When you’re in the mood for a movie night, the living room comes equipped with a large TV as well as access to high-speed internet.

Hardwood floors continue into the dining room (seating for ten) and kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a large kitchen table with great lake views.

No matter what bedroom you choose in The Mermaid’s Tail, guests will enjoy views of the lake and mountains. Keep your packing simple and make use of the in-home washer/dryer during your stay.

The lower level is perfect for entertaining with a lounge area, large-screen TV, wet bar, billiard room, and access to pool deck.

Summary: The house is beautiful with tons of space and everything you need. The cove is quiet and the calm. Owner was very responsive to questions/issues. It is a very steep walk up from dock so not for those with mobility issues. However, with the pool at the house and little planning it’s manageable. One of the few places we have stayed that is nicer in person than the pictures online!
