This was a terrific home! I had a large group in town for a family gathering and this was the perfect home! Activities for the kids, beautiful views, and extremely comfortable for our group. Wish we were able to stay longer!

This was an exceptional property--extremely clean, comfortable, and well-appointed! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, the kitchen was very well-stocked, and everything was in perfect working order. Lots of water toys available, including a variety of tubes and floats, along with 6 kayaks/paddleboards in a variety of sizes. Wonderful quiet location, too. We come to SML every couple of years and this has been our family's favorite spot so far!

This home was fantastic for our family vacation. We loved the layout of the house with the open spaces of the dining, kitchen, and family room areas. The boat dock was also a real plus with lots of space. Enjoyed the kayaks, tubes, and floating mat. Lake level was low but it did not impact us much. Love this place!!

This house was amazing! We had a group of 12 with 6 adults and 6 kids/teens, everyone had plenty of room. It was comfortable with so many things to help make your stay easy such as any and all kitchen utensils, games and entertainment options. With so many people the 2 kitchens and large bedrooms really made the place stand out. The dock was also spacious with kayaks, paddle boards, lifejackets, tubes and even a small fridge in the boathouse. The walk too and from the dock we thought was also pretty manageable, as some homes on SML can have a pretty treacherous/steep walk to the docks. Overall, we loved it and would definitely stay again!

We very much enjoyed this home. Multiple generations vacationed together and enjoyed their own spaces. The teenagers had a lot of fun playing ping pong and the arcade games. Thank you for a great stay!

July 4th Stay

The home was very clean. The kitchen was well equipped and everything was labeled. Our group of 11 had plenty of room to sleep. The kids enjoyed playing in the playroom and down by the dock. We will definitely stay again!!

Absolutely amazing house! The size of the house enabled all 3 generations of us (12) to be under one roof. Had a fantastic time. This house has all the "bells and whistles."

This beautiful home is very well appointed, with the best furnished kitchen I have seen yet. Every cabinet, light switch, and door is labeled, making it easy to operate, find and put away things. The boat house is loaded with water toys, and there are board games for everyone. Beds are comfortable, showers are great, all appliances work. Our three-generational family had a wonderful stay.

We had an amazing time at the location! The house is very well stocked with everything you might need. The house was clean and spacious. We had three families (12 people) each family had their own space. The dock worked perfectly. Amenities like ping-pong, foose ball and the hot tub were helpful keeping the kids entertained. Everything worked and we didn’t need to contact the management company during our stay. Highly recommend!

Let me just say, this house was amazing! We felt like famous people in this property. The house is beautiful and super clean! Everyone love the basement so much ! We were celebrating my wife 50th birthday and she decorated the tabes so nice! The power went down and we only noticed cause the generator turn on! I highly recommend this property ! The only thing is there is no cellphone signal at least for us that we have AT&T! I would love to stay again in this property in a heartbeat

This house was perfect for my family's Thanksgiving holiday. There were 9 of us ranging in age from 30 to 88. The rooms were comfortable and spacious and the 2 kitchens had everything we needed for meal prep. I was impressed with the wide assortment of small appliances like crock pots, stand mixer, hand mixer, air fryer, blender, etc. We loved the large TV in the living room and the variety of games downstairs. The dining area has a large dining table as well as a smaller one which was perfect for playing games or doing puzzles. The hot tub was fabulous. The boat dock was stocked with kayaks, paddle boards, floats, even fishing poles! The path down to the dock can be challenging for older adults, but there is a railing. We would definitely rent this house again, especially in warmer weather when we can take advantage of lake activities. One note - the area is remote so be sure to bring everything you need because a store is a good 20-30 drive.
