We loved this place. A few of us girlfriends wanted to find a place for a long weekend getaway and this place was perfect. Very comfortable for 4 of us to lounge in the nice pool, relax on the deck, watch tv, eat and laugh. The area is beautiful, so peaceful and quiet. The house is so pretty and decorated beautifully. Well stocked kitchen, very comfortable beds & pillows. It is a little walk to the lake down a kind of steep grade but it is so pretty there. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and the hosts are great to communicate with.

A working trip with destressing time.

This is a lovely house in a quiet rural area with lakeside access. It's a perfect spot to vacation with family. But we chose it because we were in the area to support family with job-location planning. It was a perfect place to provide support and a relaxing place to unwind after stressful days. It was also convenient because there was a grocery store not too far away & a really good pizza place.

Fantastic Week

This property, although older, was just perfect. Everything was clean and tidy. The grandchildren loved the pool in the backyard. Having use of the dock for the boat was a great convenience. The only downside was we were not informed that they now provide sheets and towels, so we hauled all those extra things. Upside, we didn't have to dirty them.

Vacation 2024

We loved the house, it was very comfortable. The pool was for sure a hit. Kitchen was completely stocked with all the essentials. Very comfortable beds. Overall a great home. The incline to the lake was a bit much, but we did get to experience a family of deer to watcha nd enjoy during our walks to the lake. Than you for sharing your home with us.

Awesome vacation!

This was a great house in a great location, perfect for our group. After spending our days on the boat we spent our evenings in the pool. You’re only a short boat ride to the bridge and several waterside restaurants and a short car ride to the grocery store. The house had everything we needed. It’s a steep path down to the dock but we just took our SUV down so that we didn’t have to walk back up. I am hoping to book this home again.

Enjoyed the house, but upon arrival there was a small plastic baby pool full of water we had to drag in yard to drain due to the plastic pool water going to front door and possible pool. Weeds were very visible/heavy around pool and the driveway to lake. The outside trash can we noticed on 2nd day had ants and bad smell. We opened the trash can and it was an open shrimp bag, open steak packs and hamburger meat along with around 10 plus plastic cheese wraps. We cleaned the trash can out and rinsed.We did enjoy our stay.

Oh my gosh, we are so sorry to hear about the condition left behind by prior guests. I truly wish you had reached out during your stay so we could have taken care of this right away, as we never received any messages from you. Our cleaning team does a wonderful job inside the home, and this year we also added linen service to enhance the experience. While we do have regular pool service and lawn care, we do rely on guests to leave the property clean upon departure—and it’s clear this was not done before your visit. We also want to note that we took care of the weeds around the pool ourselves as soon as we noticed them. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you experienced, and thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Lake House

Enjoyed vist. But no handicap bathroom for older people, my parents had a hard time. Nothing in shower to keep from slipping. The walk to the dock needs to be noted also along with the steps. Was very hard for my parents to go down and fish. But over all stay was nice.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 June 2024
Thank you for your feedback! You are right! The bathrooms are not built for the handicap i.e. handrails and walk-in tubs. We try to take clear pictures to show the details but sometimes those details aren't apparent. The bathtubs are ADA compliant with built-in non-skid but may be hard to see. We don't place anti-slip mats in the tub for sanitary reasons. Finally, you are right about the slope. It is very steep and we encourage you to drive to the dock as long as you have a 4x4 or a FWD vehicle. We will update our listing immediately to ensure folks are well aware. Thanks again for your feedback. We are happy you had a nice stay!

Girls trip

Overall, great place. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool (even though it was a little chilly). The only real down side was steep hill down to lake. You can probably get to it with an AWD vehicle but because of all the rains from the recent hurricane it was pretty washed out and we didn't want to risk it. Not the fault of the owners, but something to consider if someone in your group can't make the trek by foot. We had an older adult with us so we weren't able to park our boat at the dock. Otherwise, everything was fantastic!

Peaceful Lakeside stay

The property is beautiful and quiet. We saw deer in the yard almost every day. We played in the pool. and swam/fished in the lake. The home had everything we could think of, and was a great size for my family of 6. Our only annoyance, is that it wasn’t obvious that we’d need to bring our own linens. This wouldn’t have kept us from staying there or staying again, but for a family- bringing our own linens is a lot, and we had no room in our vehicle after packing everything else for a week on the lake. I would have been happy to do the laundry if they would have been provided at the place. Overall, we had the best week!

More than 5 stars!

Eastlake Cottage at SML is fantastic! The pictures do not do it justice - the painted brick and decor are perfect. The beds, pillows, and other furniture are high quality. The kitchen has everything you need and plenty of all dishes, glasses, and flatware (many places do not). It was extremely clean and well maintained. The information up front was totally accurate and included everything we needed to know. We were there in the off-season so cannot speak to pool and lake dock, but having the firepit was great. The TV had all the channels we wanted, and (because this is not often the case) even the shower pressure was just right. This property is well-deserving of 5 stars. We’ve stayed many places - this property makes me rethink my standard for what deserves 5 stars. Thanks for a perfect stay. Will definitely stay again if we’re heading that way!
