The best place at SML
We have stayed at many places over the last 35 years at SML and this was the best. The host was awesome. The beds and linens were great. Most rentals we have stayed in the beds were not good and doesn't help when you are trying to rest and relax.

Another Great Stay at The Anchor
The Anchor was great yet again for our family. Clean, organized, and with great amenities, this place does not disappoint! You can tell reading the reviews that the same guests keep coming back because the house, the hosts, and the lake are all excellent!

A gem at Bernards Landing for our family's annual lake trip
We spent our first 4th of July week at The Anchor at Bernard's Landing, at SML. We have rented the lovely Anchor for our second time. An annual family vacation using the wonderful amenities at Bernard's. 70+ acres of Nature's beauty with many facilities for enjoying sporting activities ; be it on the Lake , pickleball, pools, volleyball courts, tritoon / jet ski rentals, fishing and swimming at dock out front of this beautiful townhouse. The house had every comfort in sleeping areas , cooking space/ utensils, and comfy beds for our family's needs. Owner Joe Bandy will assist you before & during your stay too. We highly recommend The Anchor

A great place to unwind!
We had a party of 10 and took up every bed in the house. The home feels much larger in person than the photos makes it look. We had plenty of space. Never had an issue with docking up right behind the house. Beautiful cove. Beautiful views! Would 10/10 recommend. The kids loved the pools and the beach SO much. We have rented different homes 3 other times and this one was hands down the best! Joe was so communicative and helpful with any issue we had. We loved renting here so much we booked for next year before we even left the house. Thanks for everything Joe and we look forward to next summer!

About the host

Hosted by Joe Bandy

Host profile image
My wife and I have been back in Virginia for the second time since 2008. We have been coming to the lake since our first year back and have had a place at Bernard's Landing for the past five years. We have recently moved into our new unit and after extensive renovations have opened it up to our guests. We hope you enjoy the area and your stay and find it as relaxing and enjoyable as we do.

Why they chose this property

For the past few years we have been hosting our annual family vacation. With our two sons their wives and 3 grandchildren we have stayed several different places and finally decided to get our own place to keep making memories for years to come. We found this unit and designed it around all the things we have found to be important in our family vacations: on the water with easy access beds for 10 with ample bathrooms. Extra living space for those times when you just need it, outdoor deck space and play space for all different kinds of activities, and a property with all of the amenities you could ask for during a lake vacation.

What makes this property unique

If you are a boater, the property's location on the lake is ideal. Located near the confluence of the three main rivers which make up Smith Mountain Lake; fishing, secluded coves, open water for skiing & tubing and multiple restaurants are available by water in less than twenty minutes.
