We caught lots of big fish with Rockfish Adventures will definitely be going back soonread more

I had no plan to rent a boat but the fleet looked well cared for (almost new) and I jumped. The crew was really nice and helpful. I took out a "Tritoon"with a 200hp Yamaha. The lake is huge and there is some amazing sightseeing. I found a cove, anchored, finished up some work and then went for a swim. My 2 hour rental flew by and when I arrived back at the dock, the crew was waiting to help dock and replace my used fuel. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. For a spur of the moment adventure it was amazing. I highly recommend Bridgewater Marine.

Most of the actual facilities weren't open during the winter, but on a day when it finally warmed up enough to explore, the sights were pleasant. The other side of the lake is residential. It's not a place I'd want to pay for every time I visited, but I find a state parks pass offers some value.

The houseboat had a slide on the rooftop deck that was so fun to use. We had packed food for ourselves so that we did not need to leave the houseboat for those 3 days. That way we maximized our time in the water! Would love to do this trip again!

The pricing here for a pontoon boat is one of the best you'll find in Smith Mountain. The trade off…read morefor that price is boat speed. Our boat was SLOW. Ever other boat was passing us in the lake, including every other pontoon boat. The boat itself was clean and worked well but was a bit torn up and dented in places. Only other complaint was the horn and radio not working - supposed to be used to signal danger, etc. They said we had to use the whistle instead of the horn. We asked if we could just get a different boat and the woman replied "I think none of our boats have horns that work."

Seems to be a popular spot for fishermen. The room was a little small but looks like it had had a fairly recent update. It was clean except for one thing - an overly pervasive smell of cat pee in the room. There are feral cats everywhere (which wasn't a problem because I love cats) but how that smell got in the room I can only guess. The smell seemed to get stronger as the night went on. Not sure if other rooms have the same issue or we were just the lucky ones...

Cute waterfront lodge. Nice clean rooms. Our room was a king room on second floor with balcony. I…read morereally liked the fact that there were 2 doors for our room. 1 in the back by the parking area for easy unloading luggage and another door in the front that takes you to the balcony overlooking the lake. This place is pretty laid back. Great place for a fishing trip or boating weekend. There is a boat dock right in front, along with some picnic tables and lounge chairs to enjoy the view. Rooms are cute and comfortably decorated. Mini frig and microwave. Bathroom was quite large, but vanity was way too small for any useful purpose than simply a sink. Also, beware of floor and shower area, as it can be quite slippery when wet. No hair dryers, so bring one if needed. The price was reasonable, but the view was priceless. Relaxing and cozy. We would stay here again if in the area.

We were able to visit both locations. Each is well stocked and reasonably priced. As with many small businesses, it pays to check ahead to be sure they're open, but the website is well updated with closings if you're just wise enough to check it. I wasn't and learned the error of my ways! Make the drive, talk to them, and let them set you up with whatever it is you may need. You cannot go wrong at Bob's!
