We had our teens and some teen friends, which this house was perfect for. The dock is perfect to swim off of. We rented a boat for the week from Parrot Cove (most affordable option) and easily pulled up and tied to the dock. The owner was responsive to small questions. Kitchen has a crock pot and griddle. Grill is propane. All of these little things made our packing lighter and our days more enjoyable. ##### Sarit J.

Wanting a change of scenery and to still get away for a few days we found this place. Nice cozy little home with lovely screened in porch. Great dock and small beach area at the water. Even though it was just two of us and our dog there was plenty of room for more! Bed rooms were somewhat tight and shower was small but most of your time will be spent at the water or in other areas of the house. We also enjoyed walks around the neighborhood and dinner one night at Mitchell's Restaurant & Pizzeria which is just around the corner at the marina. ##### Leigh H. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kim L. Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Views and Great Water Access What a little treasure this cottage is! Amazing views of the mountains and lake with great water access. Pros: Scenic views, walk-in water access (great for kids/dogs), water toys (2 kayaks, 2 SUPs, 1 canoe), lovely dock to lounge on (plenty of seating with hammocks, outdoor table, polywood chairs), firepit great for s'mores, foosball table in the basement (a hit with the kids), stocked kitchen with items you need (crock pot and the basics), beautiful vaulted ceilings in living room, enjoyable screened-in porch, extra large couch and dining table for larger families, lovely \[newer\] sliding doors to porch - the list goes on. Cons: Main bathroom was a bit tiny and dated, basement bathroom was a no-go for my crew, spiderwebs were excessive (a quick broom sweep helped clear it up for our stay though), campfire chairs were sun-dried and brittle, basement appears to be a work in progress, grocery store was a bit far (plan ahead and you are fine!). All in all, it was a great stay and I would recommend! You simply cannot beat those views and being located on a quiet cove on the lake. Truly a gem! ##### Kim L.

May 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Introducing our Lab to SML This house exceeded our expectations. I say this reluctantly and at the risk that it will be booked up the next time we want to visit-and there will DEFINITELY be a NEXT TIME! I have been visiting (mostly day trips) SML all my life. LLAIF reminded me of how sweet this lake was in the early days before all the multi-million $$$ “castles” started springing up. The neighborhood was quiet, wooded, and perfect for walking our dog. This was our first visit with our Lab and this house was definitely the place for his introduction to SML. Nice cove right off main channel with spectacular long water view and a easy entry into the water for our dog. The house was nicer than I had anticipated being that it was “dog friendly.”-very comfortable and cozy-screen porch was AWESOME. Nice simple touches that many other rentals miss-extra towel racks in bath and hooks in all bedrooms and entry. The double sink vanity in the bathroom made managing with 1-bath very doable. Beds and couch very comfortable. Lots of room on deck with plenty of lounging chairs. We already have plans to return in July and we can’t wait!!! ##### Patricia N.
