Great house and amazing dock

We rent a house on the lake every year for a long weekend in Aug and our original spot wasn't available. This house was a nice improvement and we may consider it next year instead if available. We rented a pontoon from The Dock nearby and were able to tie it up to the dock during our stay. The house is easy to get to and the instructions were clear. Inside there a lot of places to sit and congregate, including a screened-in porch off the main family room/kitchen. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed for making all of our meals. The bunk beds downstairs are in a hallway, so just keep in mind that anyone sleeping there won't have full privacy. We hung out a lot on the dock and some swimming in the cove. The dock has been recently redone, so the boards are not warped and splintered like many docks. There is a covered and screened-in deck on the dock as well, with small fridge. Again lots of places to sit comfortably. The particular cove the house is in had lots of friendly neighbors that were out floating during the day.

Clean and charming!

The Ohio family came to see the Virginia family and met up here for a weekend at the lake. The cottage is better than described, with clean, comfortable rooms and several gathering areas with beautiful views. We spent most of our time in the screened-in porch at the dock, and the sunrise views were gorgeous. We rented a pontoon and had no trouble tying up at the dock. The kitchen was well-furnished- we made all of our meals there. The Roy’s were great to work with and we hope to come back again!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Roy

My family has been looking at property on SML for 10 years. We were waiting for the perfect lot and we found it! Gentle sloping lot to water, quiet cove off of the main channel, and a spacious boat dock with a screened porch. We spend hours playing games on the screened in porches!

Why they chose this property

This is the perfect place for you if you want a true lake experience. The house is older but definitely has a lake house feel. A family stopped by to see us and her 15 year old son loved our home because he said it felt like a lake house. There is paneling in the upstairs kitchen and den, one bathroom upstairs, and a screened in porch beside the den. There are two bedrooms downstairs (one king) (2 queens) and another room with 2 bunks (4 twins). There is also a downstairs bathroom.
