Cute, beautiful location but could use some TLC

We enjoyed our short stay at this SML home. Loved the kayaks, paddle board, screened porch and gaming amenities. Rented a boat and effectively used the dock. The neighborhood is very nice and the driveway provided adequate parking. Only downside is the house could use some TLC. Fresh paint, deep cleaning, Things that can be overlooked, but add to the overall atmosphere. One major concern is the boat house has no cross-bracing, and shakes/sways when all of us were on it.

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful family vacation at this home and will return next year. This is a great location on the lake and the sandy beach area where you can walk into the lake puts this property over the top. It’s perfect for little ones (and old ones lol) to safely play in the beautiful clear water. The house is comfortable with plenty of space and the screened in porch is fabulous. The owner is so nice and very responsive. We loved our vacation!

Nice Place But…

Whoever cleans/checks the house after a visit did not do a good job. The fire pit was not cleaned out as required nor was the grill. It had to be cleaned before we could use it. Also, you are required to take the trash to the dump but no outside garbage can is provided so we had to go to the dump every other day. Not really something you want to have to take time to do when you are on vacation. And the neighbor next door does not pick up after his dog so be careful when walking yours.

Perfect Family Retreat

We had a FABULOUS time at this home! It was perfect size for our family of five plus our dogs. We didn’t even really use the basement so more could have fit comfortably. The screen room was amazing to over look the water and you can’t beat the nice size yard with the privacy of the trees. Our daughters loved the beach area, and we all spent most of our time out in the water. We were sad our vacation had to end, and we hope to be able to make it back to this home again in the future. Denise, the owner was very responsive and great to work with too which is a huge plus. Thank you for opening your home to rent!

Just Okay

We've stayed at several houses in SML. We wouldn't stay in this one again. It wasn't very clean. Also, not great for swimming off the dock as it is very shallow. Because of it being shallow, it is hard to dock a boat.

Nice stay

Only issues were long hair (looked to be women's) stuck to the sides of the upstairs bathtub...some of the silverware was dirty and would have been nice to have the grass mowed before we came...the docks are really close together but wasn't really an issue...met our needs and we had a great time

Nice Family Spot

We typically stay near the dam and enjoy a big week with my extended family (all of us in different nearby houses). We took a break from the big reunion but still wanted some time at the lake. This house was good because we were able to rent less than a week. The house had ample beds. It was a little tight in the space and the basement is definitely worn. The pool table had several rips and the bumpers were broken. Plenty of TVs which was nice. Roku on all of them which was even nicer. The kitchen was adequate except for the lack of a garbage disposal which was bad. (That should be flagged on the listing. Its basically a modern necessity.) Working with the owner was easy. There are three bathrooms but only two showers. . The dock is tiny if you plan on renting a boat but there is an upper deck for tanning which is pretty spacious and has a nice metal bench to watch the sunset. Overall we liked it and wouldn't mind coming back next summer

Great time!

We had a great time at the house! The views from the pier (especially the upper deck). The views from the house were nice but more limited because of the trees/foliage. The screened in porch was wonderful - we had all our meals and several game/card nights out there. It makes the house!

Good spaces, mostly clean and well kept. Having three piers (this property and two others) within a 50 foot beach frontage was somewhat challenging

Perfect for our family of 6

This property was perfect for our family of six, with plenty of room to spare. The home is clean, tidy, and comfortable. Check in was easy, very clean, beds were comfortable and has easy lake access. The pool table was a bit worn and torn but to be expected after lots of use. The kids were still able to get enjoyment out of it! We enjoyed hours down at the lake. The older children loved jumping off the doc and the younger ones enjoyed playing on the sandy beach and shallower water. We enjoyed s’mores over the fire pit and family game/movie night in the evening. This property provided everything we could possibly need from our vacation. Next time we visit we will be staying longer!

Just the facts.

Owner was nice, communication was good but not as described online. Loaded the dishwasher and laundry. Had some towels that wouldn't fit. All trash picked up and grill cleaned. Did forget dog poop pickup outside the last 2 days. Was charged damage fee for above and a sticker my granddaughter left on the glass door and sidewalk chalk. Bedbug bites on me, my granddaughter and one of my sons. Was told they were mosquito bites but have dealt with this issue once before at a Hilton. They are multiple bites in a line places mosquito's can't get to. Pool table felt was so bad you couldn't play and cheap mattress toppers that would slide off while trying to sleep. I asked during our pre booking conversations if the cove was deep enough to jump off the dock and was told yes. The water was a little under five feet. MY granddaughter could jump but none of the adults unless you wanted to hit the muddy bottom. The location was great but the house was not as described. The extra charge I can live with for what we missed. Sidewalk chalk and a sticker was a little over the top. The charge went up after I shared with the owner of the bedbugs and condition concerns. Quote from owner "It could have been a little tidier". One more thing, there is a large man with no shirt that smokes all the time that spied on us all week. The owner makes claims of what he saw but never was in the house.

Very nice property

The location on the lake was great. The grands played and played on the beach area. Nice that they could easily walk into the water. The screened in back porch was delightful. The house was clean and well appointed with kitchen items. Wifi worked well. The only issue was that the grill was dirty. It would be nice to have a covered place to sit on the dock. We really enjoyed the place.

Excellent lake house with beach for kiddos

The house was lovely and well maintained. The beach area was perfect for the kiddo and baby. The beds were comfortable on middle aged and old backs alike. The kitchen is well stocked (save a large cutting board) and it was easy to find everything. We did not use the upper deck much because of a bad ankle and a baby but when we did it was for the amazing views of the sunset on the lake.

Wonderful escape!

As we pulled up, we saw the front of the house and caught a glimpse of the lake, vacation was about to start! The house was perfectly sized for 2 adults , 2 toddlers (6 year old) and a dog, with room for more! It was clean and inviting with all the amenities we needed from home. The beach and dock make a little "lagoon" perfect to keep the toddlers and dog in a safe distance. Wifi and water pressure, great! Kitchen has everything we needed, bedrooms are plentiful for our needs, and the bathrooms were clean and working. Even in the cool & rainy days of April, the covered back porch and deck (both upper and lower) allowed us to be outside and listen to the rain fall. Communication with the Owner was fast and friendly. Overall, this was a great find and we enjoyed our stay!!
