smith mountain lake

When we went up to Blacksburg a few weeks ago to visit my sister and go to Virginia Tech’s homecoming game we stayed at some friend’s lake house on Smith Mountain Lake.

Tucked into the woods of the Virginia mountains, Smith Mountain Lake is a beautiful, peaceful place to spend time, no matter the season.

I had never been to SML and we drove up in the dark so it was difficult to know where we were or what our surroundings looked like. When we woke up the next morning though, the views were beautiful. Our room had huge windows across the entire outside wall so we had the incredible view across the lake.

The time we spent at the lake house was so relaxing. To get to the lake, you drive for miles on hilly roads with no gas station or town in sight before you arrive at the secluded neighborhood streets. Since we were visiting in a non-peak time of year the lake was so quiet and tranquil; we didn’t see anyone on the lake the entire time we were there. The leaves were just turning on some trees but already falling off of others, so there was a great mix of colors on the trees and on the ground.  The weather was crisp and clear the first morning we were there, but sprinkled the second day, which set the perfect mood to read on the screened in porch under a blanket with a slice of pumpkin crumb cake nearby. Needless to say, I think I’ll be back :)
