Best screened in porch at SML
This cottage is so cute and the perfect spot for a low key, relaxing vacation. We spent most of our week swimming in the cove and sitting at the table on the huge screened in porch. Chris and Joey were so helpful and responsive when we reached out. The only thing that would make this property better would be a dishwasher but it wasn’t a deal breaker for us. We will definitely be back!

Relaxing girl's weekend
I stayed at this property with 4 of my girlfriends. We had a great time, mostly relaxing on the deck and in the water. The cove was a perfect spot for swimming and playing on our stand up paddleboards. The house was perfect for our needs.

Great stay!
Our group of 8 ladies enjoyed our stay! The house sit perfectly on a quiet cove. The dock on the lake was our mainstay: from morning coffee to midday cocktails. The owners always got back to us immediately if needed anything. Definitely will come back to this beautiful destination and property!

Best Lake Trip Ever!
Our group had the most fun at this lake property! Chris, our property host, was AMAZING, so responsive and friendly! The house was precious! We spent so much time on the screened in porch. We ate dinner out there every night and played games! During the day, the screened in portion of the deck provided the perfect break away from the sun, but still allowed you to be part of the group! There is a tv and refrigerator at the dock so we packed lunches and ate by the water every day! We floated in the lake all day with easy access in and out of the water. Chris allowed us to use their paddleboards which was so much fun! We cannot wait to return to this property!!

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!
