House was very cozy with plenty of space on both levels. Hearty set of 42 steps to the dock. Water was nice and warm and clean. Was surprised on the water level changes during the week, but had no effect on our stay. Screened porch was nice break from the AC in the morning and evening. Property gets an “A” grade! Give it a try.

Let me start by saying the owner, Alice, was an absolute gem to work with. The house was VERY clean, comfortable, and had every amenity you could possibly think of. She thought of the 'little things' that would make your stay that much more enjoyable. We brought our boat with us and launched from Mitchell's Marina without any problem (there is a $5 fee to unload & reload the boat, fyi), and kept the trailer at the house. It was a short boat drive to the house and the dock was clearly marked with the address. We LOVED the back deck as well as the boat dock and spent our afternoons floating in the cove. Oh, and the mountain views! The house is by the dam and in my opinion is the most beautiful part of the lake. It was the best 5 days we've had in a long time.

Two of my college friends and I stayed here for a weekend to catch up and relax! We had a wonderful time hanging out on the dock and swimming in the lake. Our host Alice was very communicative and was a wonderful host.

My family came down for the first time to SML. This home had everything we needed. We enjoyed our coffee in the morning on the screened in deck overseeing the lake and then enjoyed our days on the lake on our boat which we docked there. The views of the lake and mountains are incredible from this area. The communication with the owners was very positive and they were always responsive.
