Mariners Landing

The Promenade essay

What it feels like to stay here

Mariners Landing fills a shoreline pocket of Smith Mountain Lake at 1217 Graves Harbor Trail in Huddleston, Virginia, where the hospitality office keeps a short Monday-through-Saturday window of 9am to 1pm. The community describes itself as the premier vacation destination at Smith Mountain Lake, a hidden gem offering resort living at an affordable price. Its waterfront accommodations are all luxury-style condos, pitched for vacations, reunions, destination weddings, and corporate events alike. On-property recreation covers championship golf, indoor heated and outdoor pools, tennis, pickleball, boat rentals, and fitness trails, with local wineries and historical attractions in the surrounding countryside. Outdoor pools typically run from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, though that window is not guaranteed. Restaurants here are privately owned and should be contacted directly about hours, and Mariners Landing Hospitality states plainly that it has no control over amenity availability or hours. The rental roster of more than forty properties stretches from studio suites in the Pointe to one-, two-, and three-bedroom lakefront condos sleeping two to six. Beyond the condo stacks sit Mariners Village two-bedroom units, a three-bedroom home on the first fairway, and a four-bedroom golf-view house for eight guests. Several listings carry a pet-friendly designation, among them a one-bedroom lakefront condo and a three-bedroom home. Staff on hand include a rental manager, front desk, bookkeeping, and housekeeping, and guests are encouraged to ask any of them for help during a stay. Reserving through smlvaca.com, the community's own hospitality arm, places guests in those condos and houses while the golf holes, pools, courts, and rental boats stay within the same gates, and the site's inquiry form reaches the desk that answers at 540-297-4100.
