I am sharing a specific cabin at a specific park. Having a specific cabin mentioned on this blog has helped me choose which cabin, which park and why. I want you to experience these incredible views and insights about this cabin at Smith Mountain Lake State Park.

Wait until the end of this article, where you can check availability and plan your next getaway to this fantastic state park and get outside and get some of this fresh mountain air!

Cabin #17 is a two bedroom, one bath cabin at Smith Mountain Lake State Park. Many of the cabins here have a waterfront/waterview, particularly this one! These are not the newest cabins in the state park system, but they are very popular as they are set up well and have guest amenities.

Porch with rockers to take in the view

Picnic table with grill and firepit for s'mores

Dining room/living room area with wood stove

Rent a boat or jetski for a day of fun on the water!

Welcome to the lake!

Hint #1 Smith Mountain Lake has many festivals and events year-round; see the website for more information. From Antique boat shows to chili festivals in the Fall.

Cabins at Smith Mountain Lake State Park are open year-round. They are a ton of fun in the off-season; play board games and charades, have inside fun, hike and bike the trails, fish the shore, or rent a boat and go for a clunker largemouth bass!
