			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, just reviewing these restaurants makes me hungry.  I&#8217;m going to have to visit soon to try some of these great eats for myself.</p>
<p>Please let me know if you have eaten at any of these places and how you would rate their food.</p>
<p>If you need a place to rest after your tummy is full, check out our info on <a href="http://www.smlake.net/bed-and-breakfasts-near-smith-mountain-lake.htm">Bed and Breakfasts in the Smith Mountain Area</a>.</p>
<p><b>The Anchor Family Restaurant</b><br />
6724 White House Rd. Huddleston, VA 24104 &#8212; (540) 296-0888<br />
Family-style dining with something for everyone. </p>
<p>At least one reviewer went here after having a bad experience at Benjamin&#8217;s.  They indicated it was quite good.</p>
<p><b>Benjamin&#8217;s at the Pointe</b><br />
1217 Graves Harbor Trail, Huddleston, VA 24104 &#8212; (540) 296-1215 ‎ </p>
<p>I wonder if this place is a local favorite of some sort.  But they certainly seem to be turning off the out-of-town visitors.  Information says they service American Food.  They don&#8217;t have a website of their own, but do appear to be partnered with Mariner&#8217;s landing and they do have a Facebook page.  They have 641 likes, that seems pretty good.  </p>
<p><b>Moosie&#8217;s</b><br />
16 Bridgewater Plz, Moneta, VA 24121 &#8212; (540) 721-5255 </p>
<p>Another restaurant with questionable reviews.  ‎I&#8217;m beginning to wonder if there is hope for this area.  One review did say they had the best Nachos in the Western world.  But, I wonder if they have actually had Nachos from places like Texas and California.  </p>
<p><b>The Landing Restaurant</b><br />
773 Ashmeade Road, Moneta, VA 24121 (540) 721-3028 </p>
<p>Finally a place with their own web page.  And it is quite a beauty.  Site:  <a href="http://thelandingsml.com/">thelandingsml.com</a>.  I started drooling after I visited.  They boost using local ingredients and working with local farmers.  The establishment is family run by Bruno and Tiffany Silva.  They also have a second restaurant called Bruno&#8217;s Gastropub.  It looks like it is a more casual atmosphere.  All the reviews on TripAdisor are 4 to 5-star.</p>
<p><b>Conclusion</b>  </p>
<p>One thing I am totally baffled by is the total lack of personal web presence for some of these businesses.  Benjamin&#8217;s does have a Facebook page, but do you really want to leave your digital property in the hands of another.  I think I&#8217;m going to start offering my services to some of these places.  Maybe they just don&#8217;t have the time.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking for a nice place to stay near Smith Mountain Lake.  Give one of these a ring.</p>
<h2>Lovestone Inn</h2>

&#8220;Voted “Best Place to Stay on Smith Mountain Lake” every year 2004 through 2011</p>
<p>Boating, swimming from our sand beach, and enjoying our luxurious Bed &amp; Breakfast are wonderful ways to spend your time at Smith Mountain Lake.</p>
<h2>Bedford Landings Bed, Breakfast &#038; Hangars</h2>
<p><b>Coming Soon!!!</b><br />
1995 Buccaneer Road, Moneta, VA 24121 (919) 819-5438 ‎ </p>

<p><img class="alignright" title="Lazy Hawk Bed&#038;Breakfast Image" src="http://www.smlake.net/images/lazyhawkBedandBreakfast_sm.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" /><b>Lazy Hawk Bed &#038; Breakfast</b><br />
2728 Pittsville Road, Gretna, VA 24557-2396 (434) 656-106</p>
<p>I must say, I think this place needs a website.  They do have a Facebook page, but you have to like the page to see any info except for some comments.  In this day and age, I think it is ridiculous to not have a website.</p>
