8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
(Aug. 2025): Overall, for this high price point, some surprising disappointments on arrival and during stay. Access communication received very close to check-in time included a grill "as is" disclaimer (ut-oh) and statement you'll need to bring your own propane (oops, too late - necessitating need to search locally, haul in then haul out tank rather than bring one along originally); several grills on property but only one seemed good/clean for use. Asked twice for yellow-jacket spray as there is an active nest along a walkway - owner promised to provide but did not follow through. Another trip to town needed. Unlike VBRO images, back yard is mostly dirt and landscaping is neglected. Back porch is nice, but screens need cleaning and screens are loose on both doors. Pool table sticks don't have tips and no chalk to be found. Only 1 flat TV satellite box works; others of no use unless hooking up a PC. House shows some wear and tear, but was clean, appointed and very well stocked. Excellent kid’s playroom and game room (apart from pool sticks and mostly worn-out ping-pong paddles). Docks, deep water, water toys and boats and water/views are excellent.

The was very spacious. The game room and playroom were big hits and gave us in home activities for late evenings. Although some of the amenities need repair, i.e. Foosball and Air Hockey table.

Overall, we loved our stay. The location couldn’t have been better, with plenty of room and activities for all age groups. That said, we felt that there are a few things that needed improvement. When we rented the property, there were enough bedrooms for the adults but we discovered there was one fewer than originally stated. The entry was difficult and we had to get a second code as the first one didn’t work. There are TVs that don’t work and missing remotes. One of bed actually has no bed in it. There were a few other minor issues that the owner should address. Overall, though it was a wonderful vacation! SML is an incredible vacation spot. We will return
6 / 10Average·Dec 2023
This older, but remodeled and enlarged home has an interesting footprint! As others have pointed out, you have to make the beds and haul your own trash. Trash drop off location provided by the host was 4.1 miles and 8 minutes one way. As others have pointed out, the home needs lots of TLC. One of the stove burners is tough to light and didn’t burn evenly. Check-in instructions mentioned a wood fireplace, but there was none. There were three gas fireplaces, none of which worked. Compared to other rentals, host was unresponsive once we checked in, but was quite active in requesting a photo ID and guest list. Home is listed at 8,000 sf, but Realtor.com, Zillow.com, etc list around 6,300 sf. Kitchen needs more serving spoons and regular glasses, wine glasses with host’s name were plentiful! TV weren’t matched with the remotes, and we only got one working. Overall not a bad stay, but not quite what was advertised.
