It was great
10.0 / 10.0
It was absolutely beautiful! We had a wonderful time! Fully stocked. Loved the layout. Lots of space to spread out the sleeping arrangements. Owners were quick to respond. Make sure to dive at the end of the dock. Otherwise you can hit the bottom when the lake is dryer. We really enjoyed the clean, clear lake water of SML! Will come again.
The only downsides are the older appliances( but they are replacing the stovetop, which didn’t fully work), cheap pots and pans, upstairs shower head needs replacing(was wiggly and older), and TV upstairs wasn’t a smart TV. Otherwise, the beds were so soft and comfortable w/ pillow toppers, downstairs shower was awesome w/ 2 shower heads, wonderful location on the lake, amazing deck overlooking the lake where we ate all our meals, awesome dock, and overall wonderful vacation house!

While the two level living is great when you have kids, the key to this property is the breathtaking view. Two decks and huge windows showcase The View. The water is also super clean and calm to.swim swim iswim in right off the dock

Penhook Hideaway did not disappoint! Location is great and the house accommodated just what we needed. We loved floating at the house, cooking meals and lots of back patio sitting. SML is such a wonderful place! Can’t wait for our next trip!

We had a great time. the boat dock was great and the gentle slope from the house to the boat dock was nice. The house was perfect for 8 adults.

The view from the house to the lake was amazing. The yard down to the lake was very easy to walk with the perfect fire pit for the evenings! We loved the dock and the ability to swim right off of it in a very calm inlet! The property could use some updates to the kitchen appliances (not everything works), and new mattresses, but overall our family of 9 enjoyed the property very much and we would all recommend to any family looking to relax and enjoy the amazing lake! Hope to stay again!

Great house for a family vacation! Huge yard, easy access to the lake, and a boat rental marina just a few steps away. Everything you need to cook family dinners, enjoy time reading, watching movies, sitting on the dock fishing. Highly recommended and we hope to come back every year!

Family fun on the lake.
Our family has been going to SML for the past few years and this was our favorite rental so far. The level lot was so nice to access the lake and the view was amazing. Our family ranges in age from 2 years to 85 years and Penhook Hideaway accommodated all of us. The kids had a safe area to play in shallow water and the adults could swim and dive in the deeper areas. Having the kayaks and paddle board allow more of us to enjoy the water. We look forward to returning again next year.

Amazing Spring Break getaway!
Penhook Hideaway was perfect for our family, ages from 7 to 82!! The gentle slope of the lot made it feasible for my parents to make it to and from the dock and enjoy watching the kids fish and play in the water! The lot frontage on the water was amazing, a beautiful view on a peaceful cove! The home was perfect for our group...the kids stayed downstairs and had fun with the foosball table. The fire pit area provided much enjoyment on cool nights, with smores enjoyed by all! This is definitely one we will book again ! Thanks so much !!

Great place to relax at the lake!
The property was great with a great view. The owners really try to create a great experience for the renter. The only hassle is having to bring all your own sheets, comforters, and towels. It is just a lot to pack but we did like having known clean linens. It is a trade off but some renters may not have enough room to bring enough linens for 4-6 beds and however many people. If you bring your own linens anyway, this is the place for you. It was a very clean house. The fire pit is a great addition to the experience. There is a public boat launch less than 5 minutes from the house. We enjoyed our stay for sure.

Perfect Family Vacation
Great communication, simple access, perfect location on the lake, lot was great for yard games, fire pit was used, and everything inside met the needs from the grand parents to the grand kids.
Deck and dock were very busy all week and handled 11 people without an issue. Close to all things needed. Only suggestion…. Hmmmm, can’t think of any!
Thanks,
Paul C.

Great vacation spot!
This is a great little house on a private setting. The dock is wonderful and gets the perfect amount of sun and shade. The location so close to a marina is great for boating. Would stay here again!
