Welcome to Smith Mountain Lake
Family-owned & operated since 1996
Escape from the standard routine and enjoy a unique vacation on Smith Mountain Lake, one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the Southeast. Whether your idea of the perfect getaway is bringing the whole family for a week's cruise on a Keycraft custom-built houseboat or renting a Wave Runner for a day of fun, we're waiting for you.
In addition to the largest houseboat rental fleet on Smith Mountain Lake, we also offer a full line of pontoon boats, runabouts, fishing boats, and Wave Runners. Your satisfaction is first and foremost to the Oliver family, who have owned and operated the marina since 1996. We know there are many vacation options available to your family and we feel a strong obligation to ensure a pleasurable experience when you choose Parrot Cove.
For about the cost of a week at the beach, your family can experience a one-of-a-kind houseboat vacation on Smith Mountain Lake and explore the 500 miles of shoreline nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
