Great location on the lake for jet skiing/boating or just floating. The house indoors was very clean. The kitchen was stocked with proper cookware and such. Minor set backs on items not working but management was easy to communicate with so all went well. Only negative is the slope to the dock. No landscaped path, just the grassy hill which is steep coming back up to the house. This alone is the only reason we will not return to this house. Recommending steps or 2 to 3 tiers for the path. Great family memories made and we enjoyed ourselves.

Fun weekend away w friends
House was clean and beautiful, with excellent location. Dock w kayaks and the fire pit added to the fun! We brought Paddleboards and floaties and the water was clean and refreshing! We also rented pontoon boat for a day and had a blast- well worth it! Definitely would go here again.

Beautiful house.
Access for the lake was not good. Would have appreciated steps or, walkway or a railing. My husband is in heart failure an he only got to get in the boat once. Because of the climb. Because we could not use the awning it would have been nice to have an umbrella for the table. The house was beautiful, however it would have been nice to have a TV in each bedroom. There were no dishcloth to wash dishes as the rack in the dishwasher is broken. No trash bags. Hand soap in only the downstairs bathroom. There was a dirty diaper in the upstairs bathroom and no chairs in the upstairs bedrooms. We don't expect the house to be fully stocked but things like the mentioned should be there. Overall we had a wonderful time. But please pass this on the owners.

Great house and location
Beautiful home and dock and bedrooms all very comfortable and on the main or upper floors versus in basement. Plenty of room for 8 adults and the dock was wonderful and great to hang out at. Communication with host company was ok and cleaning was ok. Several waste baskets not dumped by the time of our arrival and beer cans and stuff cluttered around fire pit we had to clean up. Also, light bulb out in large walk in master closet which made it hard to use because it was so dark (no windows). I also reached out to the host company before we left and asked if there was a refrigerator down at the dock and if there were any noodles for us to use. They replied no to both but upon arrival we realized there WAS a refridgerator at the dock AND there were TONS of noodles for our use. Granted they were the styrofoam ones but still noodles (maybe 20?). Would have brought one less cooler and not brought any of our large noodles from home. Yard is a hill down to the water so was hard for use to play corn hole and other yard games but most houses at SML are this way. Overall,none of things changed our fun level or made that much of a difference in things. We loved the house and location, it's beautiful!! Would definitely stay here again!

Nice House but no wifi
We just arrived home from a week at SML, the house was clean upon arrival and the layout/size was nice for 4 adults and two children. However the house being advertised as having wifi when that is not the case was a large disappointment. We contacted the property management company on the first day. They promptly sent someone to check, however the router was working but there was no service coming into the router. Never resolved after a week and no follow up from management company. We would not recommend this property based on our experience this week.

A great vacation!
We had a great time at SML while staying at this lake home. We spent our days exploring the lake and our evenings around the fire pit. The home was clean and certainly enough room for our group of 8.

Gorgeous Property
Beautiful property with lots of space & gorgeous lake views! Lots of space for everyone with very spacious rooms & good beds. Large living space. We enjoyed our time here very much.
A couple improvements that would make it 5 stars:
- An instruction manual. There were no instructions for anything. Vacasa didn’t even know how to get front door open. We had to try several things before figuring it out.
- Upkeep of the exterior decks. There were wasp nests in the eves which made it hard to enjoy the deck.
- Extra blankets
- WiFi is spotty
