We had a wonderful time in this great cabin. It met all of our needs. We cooked a perfect Thanksgiving meal, enjoyed the views, and the fire. Would definitely come again!
Great layout for 12 family members (ages 8 years to 65 years). The layout offered everyone privacy while also great gathering spaces. Kids (young and old) LOVED the MANY games, ping pong table and strong wi-fi for our Nintendo enthusiasts were all available in the basement. Dock space was AWESOME! Weather permitted lots of fishing and even some swimming. The backyard does have a very sharp drop to the water. The sidewalk and stairs can be extremely slippery with morning dew and rain. Just be cautious traversing up and down the hillside. Have already recommended this location to friends!! Thank you for a great stay!
Loved the house layout and amenities. Basement was great along with the dock.
We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend for the wonderful dock space to enjoy the Lake. The house is well stocked and has lots of spaces for families to gather together or have space for separate activities. The dock was a main draw for us and it was well enjoyed. Having the use of the paddleboards was wonderful. We rented 2 Seadoos and found there is plenty of space to tie them up and ease to access from the 2 floating docks. The location of the property was very convenient. Being on a short small cove off of a larger cove gave beautiful lake views while not having to be on the main channel. It is close to marinas yet private enough to paddleboard with ease. The dock size was wonderful to enjoy the day gathering and having multiple seating areas was great. The furnishings were well maintained and comfortable. We would definitely return.
Enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. There was lots of space for our group and we appreciated that almost all bedrooms had their own bathroom. Kitchen was well stocked and everything was very clean upon our arrival. The dock was a great place to enjoy the outdoors and the lake activities. We booked a fishing charter with Captain Tony of Reel Rock Charters and cooked our catch that evening. The location is very convenient to stores and shops in the area. Would definitely come again!
We had a wonderful time at this house. The dock was great, the location to a marina for gas for the boat is very close as well as a convenient location to groceries. The house is comfortable with lots of games and movies. We have been coming to SML for about 30 years now and this house rates in our top 5! We did have a couple of issues but they were addressed very quickly and did not inconvenience us in any way.
