Finekettle House, Smith Mountain Lake

15/12/2023

Finekettle is getting her annual facelift with some lovely new changes, all supervised by Harriet the Rescue Poodle. There’s a gorgeous new grilling area and outdoor fireplace on the way, as well as even prettier views after lots of tree removal, and some other fun freshen-ups! While we work on getting the house ready for winter bookings, here are some our favourite pics from the last couple of weeks. Does that little bird who flew in from the deck look at home or what? Drop me a message if you’re interested in booking direct and happy holidays everyone! Best, Elizabeth

With a nickname like the Jewel of the Blue Ridge Mountains, it’s easy to see why Smith Mountain Lake is such a beloved place for Virginians. The 20,000-acre lake, stretching out over 40 miles with 500 miles of shoreline, was recently named one of the best places in the U.S. to buy a lake home. Kee...
