Had a wonderful stay with my sister. The condo was very clean and the view from the deck is fantastic and relaxing. Had a question about the thermostat and the owner actually CALLED me to explain its operation. Enjoyed a day on the lake with my son who was staying nearby. Would definitely stay here again and would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Everything was there

The property was clean and the location was as described with a beautiful view of the lake. However, what we appreciated the most were the special touches provided by the hosts: cozy fleece blankets for cool fall evenings on the balcony, fully stocked kitchen, clean bathrooms, and decor that made the condo feel like a true home away from home. We plan to visit again.

Relaxing and Recreational

We wanted a nice hub with hiking, biking, and restaurants all close by. This place was perfect! The unit was clean, nicely appointed, and spacious… but the view it offers of the lake and mountains was gorgeous! We were very pleased with our stay at SML in Southern Escape!

Great lakefront condo!

Very nice, very clean, newly renovated condo with amazing lake views. The owners have done such a great job styling & furnishing this unit- it is updated & tastefully decorated and has all the comforts of home. Comfortable furnishings are often lacking in rentals, but this condo has the most comfortable bed, living room sofa, & outdoor furniture-making for a great stay. There is also plenty of storage (cabinets, closets) for your supplies (which is rare in rentals).The thoughtfully stocked kitchen & electric outdoor grill were perfect for guests such as us who enjoy cooking (even on vacation)! They have thought of everything-so many little touches & there was nothing that we needed that was not in the unit. The guest docks being just steps away was perfect for using our boat every day. One of the best SML lake rentals we have stayed in & we would love to stay again!
