Your lake house, handled.
Wherever you live.
Own a Smith Mountain Lake vacation home but live in Charlotte, Northern Virginia, New York, or anywhere else? BNB Sidekick is a local co-hosting team based in Roanoke. We handle pricing, guests, cleaning, and anything that breaks at the lake, so your home earns while you're away.
Built for owners who can't be at the lake.
A lake house you only see a few weekends a year can still be a serious income property. The hard part is everything that happens while you're hours away: guest questions at midnight, turnovers between stays, and the surprise repair on a holiday weekend.
That's our job. We're a short drive from the lake, so a real person handles it, not a call center in another time zone.
Everything your lake house needs, handled locally.
Full-service co-hosting for Smith Mountain Lake owners who live out of the area.

Questions from remote lake owners
What out-of-town owners usually ask before handing us the keys.
Do I need to live near Smith Mountain Lake to work with you?
No. Many lake house owners live hours away, and that is exactly who we built this for. Our Roanoke-based team handles everything locally, so you never have to make the drive for a problem.
What happens if something breaks while guests are staying?
Our local team coordinates the fix, from a lockout to a plumbing issue, so a small problem never turns into a ruined stay or a bad review.
Can I still use my lake house myself?
Yes. Block the dates you want for your own stays, and we plan pricing and cleanings around them.
How will I know how my property is doing?
You get monthly performance reporting with your bookings, revenue, and payouts, plus a local team you can actually call.
When is the busy season at Smith Mountain Lake?
Summer, roughly Memorial Day through Labor Day, is peak lake season, with strong spring and fall weekends on either side. We price up for every peak weekend and holiday and keep weeknights competitive.
