Nice and calm place perfect for a large group or a family trip. It has a large living room everyone can hang out with, and there’s plenty of space for small group entertainment as well. Def recommend if you’re visiting the SML.

Best House on the Lake

Stayed for a long weekend with Family ( 8 adults and 1 baby). This home has the best views of the Lake and the Mountain. It will take your breath away when you first walk into the house. Check in was breeze and the house was exactly as described. The house has so much room for everyone. The dock is the best place to watch the sunrise- beautiful and relaxing! We hope to visit again.

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!

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.

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.

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.
