About the host
Hosted by Mike Deihl
Originally I'm from Los Angeles County, city of Glendora. My background is from 18 years in banking systems development (programing). More recently I worked in the hospitality industry as a general consultant. I bought the property the manor sits on in 2007, when it was bare land. I moved to Smith Lake a few years ago to focus on developing a unique and fun place to live. I built The Blue Roof Manor for that purpose. I will continue working to make it one of the special properties on Smith Lake. I love the lake and the region its in and now I call it home. The property has the main house, by the lake, and a barn/ apartment that shares the same driveway but is 120 feet closer to the street. When the house is rented I live in the barn apartment. I make myself available for problems and basic maintenance. Also on a daily basis I look after the pool, boat and propane gas systems to insure guest safety and the health of the systems. I will never enter the main house unannounced and only when there is a risk of danger or damage that needs to be addressed.
Why they chose this property
Bear Branch Cove is in an ideal location on the lake. It is at the geographical center of the lake. It is about 10 minutes from Duskin Point Marina and 15 minutes from Dunkin Bridge Marina. It is 5 minutes from the main channel in a No-Wake zone. It is one of the deeper branches of the lake and known for its unusually good fishing spots. Arley with it's Coffee Shop and Son's of Arley Market is about 15 minutes away by car.
What makes this property unique
The pictures will tell the story. The property has a most unusual shoreline. It is surrounded by year round deep water. Sunset is directly across the channel creating many stunning nightfall panoramas. Even when the water drops 10 feet or more the shore stays where it is because the water simply recedes straight down the shore face exposing more of the underwater cliff. There is a large rock peninsula about 40 feet long. It pokes out of the lake most the year but sometimes becomes submerged when the lake is flooded in the spring. Adjoining the peninsula is a year-round water slew about 30 feet wide that makes up a long entrance to a grotto which is about 280 feet in from the main body of the lake. There are two waterfalls feeding and shaping the grotto, which flow nearly year-round. It is common to see white tail, ducks, geese, blue egret, turtles, sometimes beaver, bluegill, crappie and many types of bass.
