About the host
Hosted by Ashley Wind
Our family called SML home for a year back in 2012. The day we left, we were sick to our stomachs and vowed to find a way to get back to what can only be described as the ultimate lake paradise. Two short years later, we have acquired a more amazing property than we ever thought we would find! We live only a short drive from the lake and check on our home regularly. We love our home and are excited at the opportunity to share it with you!
Why they chose this property
We searched the lake for literally 4 years looking for the ideal property. We looked at endless properties, but never could find one with a 'total package.' Often we would find a great house on a mediocre lot. Or, a great dock with undesirable water. We knew when we saw this property that our search had ended. Never had we seen a property that had it all until this one and we are sure if you stay with us that you will agree that this is a unique and unrivaled family compound!
What makes this property unique
THE BEST OF EVERYTHING--massive luxury home on 2 amazing, flat lots; amazing views from the house and dock across from State Park; multiple boat docks with lifts; your choice of deep or shallow water on a single property; ideal location on the lake, fully stocked with everything you need to enjoy your visit to SML both inside and outside--there is nothing that this property lacks! Every important aspect of a lake property is top notch!
