Three sisters from 3 states came for a celebration and were very satisfied. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, pots, pans, baking sheets, skillets, spices, coffee pot and k cup coffee maker. There are many areas inside and out for relaxing and dining. We loved having our own beach and dock since the dog with us does dock diving. Food lion is close by with a good selection of fresh produce and meats. The Mexican restaurant had delicious food. This was a very relaxing, safe, quiet neighborhood.

Short SML vacation

Fantastic home for family vacation

Great, quiet location. Lakeside Dream is a spacious and clean home with lots to do inside. Sandy beach for my kids to have fun. Party deck for sunny reading space. Our dog loved jumping off the dock into the lake! Thanks for the opportunity to stay in your home!

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful family vacation at this home and will return next year. This is a great location on the lake and the sandy beach area where you can walk into the lake puts this property over the top. It’s perfect for little ones (and old ones lol) to safely play in the beautiful clear water. The house is comfortable with plenty of space and the screened in porch is fabulous. The owner is so nice and very responsive. We loved our vacation!

What a beautiful home! My husband and I spent our New Years Eve 9th Anniversary (12-31-04) here and had a wonderful time. We live in the big city and it was great to enjoy a week of quiet with such beautiful views. The fully equipped kitchen made it so easy to plan that quiet anniversary dinner. And my husband loved the lake! Thank you so much for allowing us to spend our special time in your home. We look forward to visiting again real soon.

Cute, beautiful location but could use some TLC

We enjoyed our short stay at this SML home. Loved the kayaks, paddle board, screened porch and gaming amenities. Rented a boat and effectively used the dock. The neighborhood is very nice and the driveway provided adequate parking. Only downside is the house could use some TLC. Fresh paint, deep cleaning, Things that can be overlooked, but add to the overall atmosphere. One major concern is the boat house has no cross-bracing, and shakes/sways when all of us were on it.

Just Okay

We've stayed at several houses in SML. We wouldn't stay in this one again. It wasn't very clean. Also, not great for swimming off the dock as it is very shallow. Because of it being shallow, it is hard to dock a boat.

Perfect Family Retreat

We had a FABULOUS time at this home! It was perfect size for our family of five plus our dogs. We didn’t even really use the basement so more could have fit comfortably. The screen room was amazing to over look the water and you can’t beat the nice size yard with the privacy of the trees. Our daughters loved the beach area, and we all spent most of our time out in the water. We were sad our vacation had to end, and we hope to be able to make it back to this home again in the future. Denise, the owner was very responsive and great to work with too which is a huge plus. Thank you for opening your home to rent!

Great Property

We had a great time at this property. The house is spotless, beach is wonderful. There is additional benefit for hot days: shaded area in the water under the high deck. We had a toddler with us, she loved the playground at the beach. Our dogs had a blast. Neighbors are very friendly. My husband was getting ready for a triathlon and we did long distance swimming along the shore every day. Boat traffic was not as high as in some other areas at the lake. Owners are very nice, they got back to us right away a couple of times when we had a question.

Nice Place But…

Whoever cleans/checks the house after a visit did not do a good job. The fire pit was not cleaned out as required nor was the grill. It had to be cleaned before we could use it. Also, you are required to take the trash to the dump but no outside garbage can is provided so we had to go to the dump every other day. Not really something you want to have to take time to do when you are on vacation. And the neighbor next door does not pick up after his dog so be careful when walking yours.

Nice stay

Only issues were long hair (looked to be women's) stuck to the sides of the upstairs bathtub...some of the silverware was dirty and would have been nice to have the grass mowed before we came...the docks are really close together but wasn't really an issue...met our needs and we had a great time

Nice Family Spot

We typically stay near the dam and enjoy a big week with my extended family (all of us in different nearby houses). We took a break from the big reunion but still wanted some time at the lake. This house was good because we were able to rent less than a week. The house had ample beds. It was a little tight in the space and the basement is definitely worn. The pool table had several rips and the bumpers were broken. Plenty of TVs which was nice. Roku on all of them which was even nicer. The kitchen was adequate except for the lack of a garbage disposal which was bad. (That should be flagged on the listing. Its basically a modern necessity.) Working with the owner was easy. There are three bathrooms but only two showers. . The dock is tiny if you plan on renting a boat but there is an upper deck for tanning which is pretty spacious and has a nice metal bench to watch the sunset. Overall we liked it and wouldn't mind coming back next summer

Great time!

We had a great time at the house! The views from the pier (especially the upper deck). The views from the house were nice but more limited because of the trees/foliage. The screened in porch was wonderful - we had all our meals and several game/card nights out there. It makes the house!
