The view was nice. That sums up any positive elements. We had made a reservation weeks in advance, but no employee was there when we arrived. We called the emergency number and were told what room was ours and that it was open. We were mostl;y unpacked when the employee arrived and it became apparent that there was no wifi... More

We wanted a nice place to enjoy our vacation. Should have read the reviews first. The first thing to say is the owner was very nice and talkative and his pet dog Zeus was a very nice dog do not help when it came to the room. It had a very bad odor. Thankfully there was a front and back... More

I certainly don't want to hurt anyone's business but, this place needs an upgrade of everything. Everything is old (not antique) just ready for refurbishing and replacement. If you're looking to fish with a buddy perhaps it's ok. If you're looking for a romantic place to (motel) stay, look elsewhere.

We were so glad to find a spot on the lake that would accommodate us for just a night. We never met Ron but he was very friendly and helpful while booking our reservation. The rooms look out on the lake. We really enjoyed sitting out on the lawn chairs in the evening and watching the stars and the boat... More

We went last minute over the fourth of July and were lucky to get the last room on Sunday. The owner Ronnie helped us out of a jam while launching the boat. He also helped make sure we got back out when we left. The boat slips are great - you can just hang out in your boat in the... More

If you want to be on the lake, especially is you fish, this is a great spot. It is basic construction, nothing fancy, clean and taken care of. Beautiful views, when we were there only one other rm was taken so I can't comment on noise between rooms ect. There are two dogs there, they do not bother you other... More

We have stayed at the Westlake Waterfront Inn twice, and each time it was just wonderful! The owners are so friendly and did everything they could to make us comfortable. We love dogs, and I do have to disagree with one of the previous reviews. The dogs --especially the Rottie -- did NOT approach us and actually had to be... More

We booked 3 nights at the Westlake Waterfront Inn sight unseen, in order to visit Smith Mountain Lake as a potential retirement location. We ended up adding an extra night to our stay! The Westlake is run by a very friendly couple and their adult daughter. They do have 2 dogs and 2 cats. One dog is a golden retriever,... More

The Westlake Waterfront Inn is basically a Super 8 by the water. If you don't mind putting up with a hard bed, no bathtub, paper thin walls, no hair dryer, no shampoo/lotion & towels like sandpaper then this is the place for you. In its defense the room was very clean & did have a wonderful view. Sitting on the... More
