Welcome to The Coves Club

Nestled in the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia, The Coves at Smith Mountain Lake is a haven for those seeking the perfect blend of natural beauty, community, and exclusive privileges.

Established in 2016, The Coves Club was created to enrich life at The Coves by offering members access to an evergrowing menu of amenities. Whether you’re strolling our shoreline trails at sunrise, soaking up the long mountain view from an easy chair in one of our ridge-top pavilions, or dancing under the stars at a summer concert, membership in The Coves Club elevates lake living to a new level.

We’re More Than a Community. We’re a Lifestyle.

The Coves is a private, gated enclave where the appearance of our homes, the contour of roads and trails, and all structures and amenities are intentionally designed to feel like they naturally “fit” together. Our hope is that members and guests see themselves as being part of a private park built to cherish nature, the history of the area, the mountains, and our mile of shoreline on Smith Mountain Lake. As such, the joy of being outdoors, serenity, and wellness are all crucial parts of The Coves story and what The Coves Club seeks to encourage and make accessible.

On a few special evenings each year, our concert season welcomes the public to join us in celebration of the performing arts with famous artists from all over the world. We do so with the specific intent of raising awareness of – and funds for – the 5 area charities we support. These special organizations deliver vital nutrition, health, and development services to children needing assistance in our immediate area.

All the while, our club assets reflect our contemporary home designs in actively leveraging modern construction materials and methods, technology to save our residents money and time, and innovations in the delivery of power, water, and other utilities to
increase reliability and conserve precious resources.

Growing Our Membership

The Club has invested over $2M to provide members with a host of amenities including walking trails, pavilions, an amphitheater, a guest center, boat slips, fire pits, a 9-hole disc golf course, extensive WiFi and security equipment, alternative energy solutions, and specialized equipment to maintain it all. More investments are planned, including pickleball courts, more guest cottages, and accessible beaches & docks at the end of our east and west coves.

Fees from Club member spending offset the costs required to maintain these assets, and growing our active membership will allow us to expand our offerings while continuing to deliver and develop Club services that exceed our members’ expectations.

Our membership categories were designed to welcome potential home and land owners as well as friends & neighbors of The Coves community. This allows us to grow the Club by extending invitations to candidates who want to support our vision now regardless of where they are in the home-building process.
