Great Lake house
Beautiful view of the lake from a wonderful house that suited our group (2 families) perfectly. We rented a boat from a local marina and tied it up to one of the floating docks and used the other for fishing. Great stay - would definitely come back!

Everything was as listed, beautiful house and views. We booked the house to spend time with family and friends from out of town. We fished, grilled and had fires at night. Hosts were great and replied quickly when we had questions. It was a wonderful weekend at this house.

Summer at SML
The view of the lake from the house is fantastic! We had such a great time using the paddle boards and kayaks. This cove is a great, peaceful location but close enough to the bigger part of the lake if using a boat or jet ski. The house is well stocked and has a variety of games/entertainment. We definitely enjoyed our visit.

Lake Getaway
If you are looking to getaway for a relaxing vacation, then this is the place. The home is just as described in the listing. The sunrise/sunset lake views are amazing! There is plenty to do inside and outside of the house. There is plenty of room for everyone to sleep. The kitchen is fully stocked with all of the pots, pans, plates, and utensils you'd need. Our host was very responsive. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend!

Awesome house and location
We had a full house with 5 generations and everyone had a great time. The kids enjoyed the games as well as swimming right at the dock and making s'mores at the fire pit. The house had everything we needed and then some. Almost like being at home. If the opportunity arises we will stay there again.

SML- Vacation 2024
The property is AWESOME! The property was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. The location was perfect, tucked away in a cove, which make it wonderful for our young grandkids to swim without boat traffic. the decks and docks made if perfect for morning coffee and evening drinks. Would recommend this location to all and would stay here again.

Beautiful family celebration!
All 8 of us and the dog were extremely comfortable and soothed by the beauty of this house and its comfort. Awakening to the sun rising over the ridge behind the trees was a special treat. Everything was well equipped and maintained. We cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner and several other meals for the whole family! And the home's flow and set up allowed for family games and my husband's BIG birthday celebration...room to be together or to enjoy the view or walk around the area. Sooo many birds and deer! Our grandson is ready to come back with his friends in the summer since they all like to go fishing.
