Look no further absolutely beautiful property.
Everything was as described in the listing. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed for our family meals. The parking was perfect for all of our vehicles. The games inside & out was a true hit for our group. The kayaks were a favorite for our fishermen & the paddle boards looked fun but the water was a little chilly. Overall Amazing Stay…

Photos can’t capture the beauty
This home in my opinion is on the most beautiful portion of the lake. I could not tell from the maps when choosing the home, but the mountain and lake view are spectacular. We had everything we needed in the kitchen for large family meals. The neighborhood was very safe and peaceful for morning walks. We brought our own pontoon and had adequate trailer and truck parking to the right of the house along with four other cars. It was 50 minutes to Liberty for graduation, but the drive was worth it. We had a great family weekend. I highly recommend this home.

Great experience!
We stayed for a long weekend in April 2024. The check in process and communication from Emily before during and after our stay was great! We LOVED the views and the dock was great for our rented pontoon boat. Highly recommend!

Great view & Great for Families
We had a very relaxing stay with an amazing view of the lake. It was so relaxing. The game room was a wonderful asset for the children and the outside amenities were very nice to have as well. I appreciated how responsive the owners were to all of my questions. We will definitely come back and can’t wait for that time to come!

Christmas Trip for 2023
Our family takes a trip every spring as our Christmas present to each other. This is the second year we’ve gone to a mountain area and this house was by far the best! There was so much room both inside and out for us all to be together or have some time alone. My niece and nephew loved the game room! The property could not have been more beautiful. The house is gorgeous. I can’t say enough things about how wonderful our short trip was.

Family Fun for Everyone!
One of the most beautiful views of the lake. So many spaces for gathering. Such a private feel. 60th wedding anniversary with 14 people and a few pups staying at the house and 2 more drop ins for 4 days and we never felt like we were on top of each other. Even played Hoopla with all 16 in the main living space and we still had room for the pups. Well equipped kitchen. Never lacked for anything. A fantastic experience. Hoping to do it again next year!

Fantastic House
We have been staying at houses on SML for over 20 years. This is by far the best experience we have had. I house has lots of space a great open common area upstairs and the basement setup with the games and big screen was a giant hit with the kids, 8 to 16. The docks are perfect, water clean and deep off the docks. I would highly recommend.

We had a great time. The home is well appointed with everything you might need. The cell phone charging pad is a nice touch. Beautiful views both during the day and night. Fire pit offers a relaxing time with wood provided and comfortable and ample seating. We enjoyed that with the chilly nights. Loved sitting out on the side deck too at the big table. If we were to go back to this area of SML, we would definitely stay here again.

This is a lovely house with a gorgeous view of the lake from the Penhook peninsula. Adults can congregate and chat upstairs while the kids make lots of noise downstairs. We had just about everything we needed, although previous visitors left a lot of disorganized kitchen drawers and towels we had to sort out Definitely a great place for a family getaway over Thanksiving.
