Imagine arriving at a vacation destination where someone has taken care of all the details for you. The Fun Spot 3 is your total turnkey experience so all you need to do is show up and wind down!
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES ABOUND: A Fun Spot 3 vacation includes all you need for maximum fun - 8 kayaks, 4 paddleboards, lifejackets of all sizes, and numerous water toys so your entire group can be enjoying all the lake has to offer. In case you want to rent a boat, get your fishing supplies, it couldn’t be easier. Parkway Marina is right next door. Or if you choose to bring your own boat, the Parkway Marina boat ramp is as convenient of a boat launch that you can get. Dock your boat on our fully renovated 2300 sq ft dock with a 27’ long floating dock.
You will be the envy of all other vacationers while you spend your days on our newly renovated dock, with the addition of the dock house/bar, five separate seating areas, and a resort-style over-the water hammock. We’ve installed ceiling fans to keep you cool on hot summer days. Enjoy your favorite music on the dock with our new SONOS 6-speaker system. You decide what music plays from your own favorite smartphone playlists.
No need to go in once the sun goes down, The Fun Spot 3 provides outdoor living at it’s best with lighting on the dock, patio, and deck spaces to keep the fun going on into the night. Flood lights installed to fully illuminate the water while you continue swimming or lounging on your favorite water chair! And if you are the unfortunate one that has to take a work call or log in…for just a “minute”…no need to run up to the house, the high speed 1GB internet speed will keep you connected while you enjoy the best “office” views of wide water and mountains.
SPACIOUS INDOORS: Need to accommodate several families? Each bedroom has its own private bathroom and outdoor space for personal relaxation.
Need to entertain kids of all ages? Between the air hockey, foosball, ping pong and pool tables, the arcade, the dedicated gamer station, and the theater room, we’ve got you covered.
CHEF SPACE: Need to feed your own small army? Our recently renovated kitchen, dining room, and living area have been designed specifically to meet the needs of large groups. We’ve doubled everything -- ovens, dishwashers, ice makers, and refrigerators -- and added a 12-foot island, tons of pantry storage, and seating for 20 to meet your large group’s needs. Whether you cook inside on an oversized 6 burner cooktop and three ovens or outside on the deck at the BBQ island which contains a 5 burner XL BBQ, two-burner cook-top, and refrigerator, you won’t need to go far for your food or favorite beverage.
UNIQUE LAKE LIVING: There simply is not another vacation home on the lake that offers the combination of wide water and mountain views, activities, luxurious outdoor living, entertainment, and comfortable accommodations for large groups. The Fun Spot 3 offers over 5,600 square feet of spacious luxury with unparalleled wide water and direct mountain views. The outdoor living spaces – dock, deck, and patio enjoy panoramic east to west sun all day long, and cool evening shade making for a comfortable outdoor dining experience each night.
All our updates and renovations were designed to provide your group with a variety of comfortable gathering spaces, both inside the home and outdoors, where you will undoubtedly make memories for years to come. This location is ideal in many ways from the wide water and mountain views, quiet nights at the end of the peninsula, and if that isn't enough, then come the Fourth of July ideal "Front Row Seats" for the spectacular, and well known, Parkway Marina/Saunders Volunteer Fire Department Fireworks Show! (SMLfireworks.org) Fireworks are launched right in front of you from just across the cove as you take it all in from the comforts of the deck, patio, dock, or even indoor seating areas!
Driveway can accomodate approximately 14 cars.
Dock/Watersports:
The oversized 2300 sq ft. dock provides options for gathering with five different seating areas. The fun continues with kayaks and stand-up paddle boards, plus a variety of floaties allowing you to lounge in the lake amongst your family and friends with your favorite cold drink.
Fun and Games:
The entertainment room/lower level is all about gathering for fun and games. The home theater provides two rows of oversized leather recliners, the third row provides bar stool seating which allows you to watch the TV, dine on some food, while you wait for your game table to play! The arcade table makes for some rowdy competition with 25+ of your favorite nostalgic arcade games, including Ms. Pac Man and Donkey Kong and so many more. More friendly competition happens around the foosball table, air hockey table, darts, and outdoor ping pong table. The wet bar provides bar seating for 8, a full size refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. Now imagine all of this entertainment and fun with the 5 speaker SONOS sound system filling the room with your own music playlists!
Out on the “upper” patio, off of the lower level entertainment room you can enjoy hours of Connect Four, Jenga, Ping Pong, and Corn Hole tournaments...rain or shine…night or day… since their is a lighted ceiling overhead with fans to cool you down on a nice warm day or evening!
Bring your competitive spirit up to the main floor, where you’ll enjoy the FS3 Taproom - our billiards room with bar, beverage refrigerator, and built in ice maker for hours of fun and laughter. Or if you prefer play to the backdrop of your own music once again with the Pool Room SONOS speaker.
Outdoor Living:
The expanded deck (1250 sq ft) provides you with ample gathering spaces with unobstructed mountain and wide water views. Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck or screened-in shaded porch, both provide comfortable seating options. Grab your favorite dinner prepared on an oversized, built in, 5 Burner gas grill, double burner cook-top and don't forget to grab your favorite beverage from the BBQ island beverage refrigerator. Just steps away from the BBQ serving island your family and friends can all comfortably gather together to share a meal all together in a spacious, 20 seat dining area that enjoys early evening shade for your dining pleasure and plenty of beautiful, scenic views. Two large over-sized, tiltable umbrellas can provide shade during the day.
Steps down from the deck, you’ll find yourself on a beautiful paver "upper" patio with additional seating options. One of which is a resort style “day-bed” lounger set off to the side for a relaxing area to yourself. Make sure to remember to bring your graham crackers and marshmallows for an evening by the firepit on the "lower" patio - a total of over 2,000 sq ft of patio to enjoy the beautiful outdoors and views of Smith Mountain Lake. Yes, we provide plenty of S’mores sticks as well! If that isn't enough different seating area options then add to your list a hammock for your afternoon naps alongside the shoreline to fall asleep to the waves and leave you the most relaxed you’ll feel all year!
If The Fun Spot 3 is still not large enough for everyone, then we have a solution for you. The Fun Spot 3 is located just two miles down the Smith Mountain Lake Parkway from the popular Fun Spot 2 vacation home, which can also be found on VRBO (Property ID# 1687655).
