NO PLACE LIKE HOME SEBASTIANO STIA TED PRATT Nancy Henderson SML resident for 33 years What do you love most about living at the lake? Our friends and family thought we had completely lost our minds when we moved to the lake. But it was one of the best decisions we ever made. I have 6 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren who visit me and enjoy swimming and learning to ski. It has been a great family 82 | VISITSMITHMOUNTAINLAKE.COM BILL PRATT Nancy Henderson, SML Resident home. There are people from all walks of life and from different parts of the country, and they are the friendliest people you could ever meet. That is what makes the lake home and a tranquil, peaceful place to live. ANDY PRATT In 1971, my husband and I bought a lot as an investment or a place for recreation. We spent weeks of vacation with family members at the lake. At this time, the development around the lake was just in the planning stages. Many roads were unpaved. There was only one small grocery store in Moneta. But we enjoyed the beauty of the lake so much we decided we wanted to build our retirement home on this property and sell our home in Roanoke.
