Our days at the Hummingbird
I don't wish to sound all gushing and so forth because that always sounds fake, but we could not have asked for a nicer getaway that was the perfect size for two adults and our little pup.The house was immaculate, the furnishings are excellent... I just don't know how to put it other than it was just a really nice place to be. The owners are wonderful, we had to move our stay due to the weather, and they were more than accommodating. I will definitely try and book this house again, but from the looks of the bookings, many others know of this wonderful little place. If you get the chance, do try to find a couple of days to make yourself at home there.

Great Getaway
Great little clean cottage in a quiet cove away from a lot of others. Our dog enjoyed seeing the neighborhood deer, cranes and anything else that moved on the water. Such a relaxing stay and can't wait to make a return trip. I also want to point out that the host had EXCELLENT communication throughout our stay that was greatly appreciated.

Hummingbird Cottage is a beautiful cottage steps away from the lake. The cottage is furnished very nice and has everything needed for a great stay. The location is quiet and peaceful but very convenient to dining and shopping.The host contacted us shortly after arrival to see if everything was as we expected. I would highly recommend this to family and friends for a great place to stay at the lake and I look forward to returning in the spring.

We had a fabulous time. The place is clean and beautiful and the location right on the lake is lovely. We had such a good time just floating around in the cove, and also enjoying using the record player and sitting out on the deck. 10/10!

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.

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!

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+
