My family and I rented this home during my children's Spring Break. You never know what you may get with the weather this time of year - our first few days were cold and by our last few days it was in the 80s! The water was a bit too cold to enjoy the pool or swim in the lake, but we loved the kayaks and the hot tub! The home is fully stocked from an outdoor perspective, plenty of room for everyone to enjoy across the various decks, patios, etc. The home had a perfect number of kayaks, had paddle boards and plenty of lake tubes and pool floats. Lots of outdoor seating which we loved! Inside, it's beautifully decorated across the entire home. The kitchen was stocked with almost everything you could need - pots/pans/glasses/plates/wine glasses and bar accessories! (I'd only recommend adding in a large frying pan to complete the kitchen amenities. We made do with two smaller ones but a large one would be a nice addition).We loved that it was dog friendly, and the baby/dog gates were such an added bonus so she could enjoy the decks and we could all be comfortable knowing she was secure. If the water was warmer I'd imagine she'd play in it for hours. Fishing was nice off the dock and the lake provided great opportunities to explore on kayak. We came at that 'in between' season when we're all beginning to start our own outside cleanup projects, so I imagine once the shrubs are all trimmed up, and there's time for that little extra TLC on the very expansive deck, and everything is in full bloom, it has to be even more amazing than it was for us! Tammy was super helpful and responded immediately to any question we had. She proactively provided us with a slightly later check out too which was super kind! Like many houses at SML, the driveways are steep, and this was no different. But take it very slow and all will be fine, although happy we did have an SUV. My favorite part of our time there was in the early morning, as our kids were still sleeping, sitting on the porch with my tea under the provided blankets that were provided watching the sun break through the trees and listening to all the birds. Can't beat those peaceful moments! We highly recommend staying here, especially in the warmer months, if you are looking to really enjoy the lake water itself!

We had a very nice stay here!

I use VRBO and travel quite a bit. First thing is the Host was excellent helping us get situated. Appreciated that! The home is exactly as described. Every amenity was in good working order. We wanted for nothing as the host provided more than enough essentials. The master bedroom bed was luxurious. The house is decorated beautifully. We loved the hot tub and all the areas to relax. At the dock, the water is very shallow to the left, our dog played there for hours a day. We loved the quiet cove and spent many hours in the water. I am booking again. It was excellent.

My family and I renting this house to enjoy together while visiting my oldest son at Roanoke College. All of my kids had a great time on the lake, in the pool, and just relaxing on the porch. Everything was perfect! Also, the owner was super helpful, kind, and responsive. I highly recommend renting this property.

We spent the weekend here and it was beautiful. The Location, view, the lake house was absolutely amazing, hot tub was definitely enjoyable as well.

Tammy was a wonderful host, who reached our prior to our visit to give us detailed instructions on parking and amenities at the house. When we arrived it was better than we imagined, beautiful view, large kitchen with everything needed for cooking, wonderful hot tub, comfy beds, and beautiful lake view with private dock. I would definitely recommend this place for a guaranteed relaxing time.

The property was beautiful.

We had a wonderful experience renting this property for our girls (moms getaway) weekend. We have rented several homes at SML for family stays, and this one had the best amenities. They literally thought of everything - - down to the USB plugs to charge your phone. The beds were all very comfortable, the house was well-appointed, the hot tub was preheated for us, and the covered porch with outdoor fireplace was the perfect spot for cocktails, relaxation, and great conversation. The only downside was the gravel road and driveway but nothing our SUV couldn't handle. The host was so gracious and checked in with us throughout our stay. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a great week at this house. Tammy was very fast in all her responses to our needs. The home is at the end of a quiet cove and our boys could swim right off the dock without worrying about boat traffic. They also loved the pool. Only downside for me was the driveway is very steep, but that also afforded a lot of privacy and some visits from local deer.

Tammy's house had everything we needed for our girls' trip! We spent a long weekend and took advantage of the dock, kayaks, floats, pool, and hot tub. Loved the location . . . beautiful and private; perfect spot for morning coffee. My friends and I made amazing memories here. Thank you, Tammy!

The house was beautiful and clean. The lake access was perfect for kayaks. We slept well, and enjoyed our time outside, we will go back!

OMG, Tammy the owner was in constant communication with us no matter what time!!! If we had a problem locating something, she was there via phone to assist! She was very helpful and she learned some things from us too! I would stay there anytime!!!!

Recently stayed at the Lake House with two friends and it was wonderful. The location and house were perfect. Very quiet and secluded but the house had everything we needed. Tammy was an amazing host and made sure we had everything we needed, even went out of her way to drop off tubes for the river in addition to the floaties and kayaks already available. Will definitely book here again and can’t wait to go back!

House was very nice and had nice amenities. For older adults the climb to and from the lake is almost impossible because of the steep incline up to the property.

Very nice lake house, the cove is perfect for swimming and kayaking with the provided kayaks. The home itself is nicely updated and comfortable. The pool and hot tub are well maintained and refreshing. The privacy of this property is excellent! The steps to the dock are pretty long, which is not at all unusual in the SML area. The access road is a bit steep, but easily managed with AWD. Overall this was a great place to stay on SML. Owner made herself easily accessible if we had any needs, and the check in process was very smooth.
