Had a great stay here. Beautiful place with lake access a short drive from the private neighborhood boat launch. I was a little disappointed that the boat lift and covered slip wasn’t available for use but other than that everything was incredible. Would definitely stay again. Five stars!

It is located with a good view of a small cove, in a very quiet, peaceful location that is great for relaxing outdoors. The house was clean, comfortable and as described in the listing. Access to a private boat ramp and dock was a very nice added bonus. I would recommend to friends and family.

Great time at Paradise Found

The dock and fire pit were our favorite part of the rental. The house and deck could use some updates but everything worked and no issues with communication, check in process, or check out.

Great house! Owners have the house very well equipped and comfortable. The house was very clean, including the kitchen and baths. We loved the lake access in the cove, and made good use of the kayaks, paddle boards and available floats. Awesome location for a great week at the lake.

Wonderful lake vacation

Our vacation was great. The house was well kept and clean. The neighborhood was nice to take walks in. The only mix up is the email from Vrbo said different check in/check out times and bed sizes but the owners were great at clarifying to be sure we were on the same page. Overall great vacation!

Fantastic

We had a fantastic time on this quiet cove on the lake. Very relaxing. Made use of the owner provided kayaks and paddle boards each day. Spent hours just floating in the water.

Family reunion visit

Jacquelyn was helpful and patient with our booking due to computer problems on our end. We had the house full of kin folks and it was just what the doctor ordered for the stay. She worked with us throughout the process and made the stay enjoyable. The area was quiet and peaceful which made the stay relaxing.

Peaceful hideaway

Really enjoyed the place. Had plenty of room. Wildlife all over the property. Nice dock and location on the lake. Private boat ramp was a big plus for me. Overall me and my wife loved the place. Only dislike was the 9:00am checkout. Other than that would recommend to anyone.

July Visit to SML

Jacqueline was an outstanding hostess and her home was attractive and clean with all the amenities to make our visit a pleasant one. Her communication was excellent and we were given answers to all questions prior to our arrival which was so very helpful. Everyone enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks even though the 59 steps were a challenge for the older generation. Would recommend this property for families with older children.

Perfect relaxing weekend

The house was great. One lofted bedroom and two main floor bedrooms and a fourth bedroom in the basement/game room. Kitchen had all the basics for cooking (remember to bring butter or olive oil!) and the outdoor fireplace was great for s’mores. The dock had wonderful kayaks and my kids loved paddling around in the inlet. The house is the last on the inlets, so you have the waters edge right in front of you. Great weekend escape from the city.
