Our vacation was great. The house was well kept and clean. The neighborhood was nice to take walks in. The only mix up is the email from Vrbo said different check in/check out times and bed sizes but the owners were great at clarifying to be sure we were on the same page. Overall great vacation!

This was the first time to SML for us and I know we will be back. We loved this house and the quiet cove. The dock was perfect for our boat, fishing and lounging. Would definitely recommended!

We had a fantastic time on this quiet cove on the lake. Very relaxing. Made use of the owner provided kayaks and paddle boards each day. Spent hours just floating in the water.

Jacqueline was an outstanding hostess and her home was attractive and clean with all the amenities to make our visit a pleasant one. Her communication was excellent and we were given answers to all questions prior to our arrival which was so very helpful. Everyone enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks even though the 59 steps were a challenge for the older generation. Would recommend this property for families with older children.

The house was great. One lofted bedroom and two main floor bedrooms and a fourth bedroom in the basement/game room. Kitchen had all the basics for cooking (remember to bring butter or olive oil!) and the outdoor fireplace was great for s’mores. The dock had wonderful kayaks and my kids loved paddling around in the inlet. The house is the last on the inlets, so you have the waters edge right in front of you. Great weekend escape from the city.

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. We were celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary. We made use of the kayaks and paddle boards. We especially loved the big fire pit!

The property is very quiet and at the end of a lake finger. Very relaxing, but be aware the stairs to the lake are steep with no railing & lake access isn’t small children or mobility impaired friendly.
Also loft has its own bathroom. Only other bathroom is on the main floor.
We enjoyed our stay.

The home had everything we needed. It was spacious, clean and “lake life” decorated. We enjoyed the first floor space for watching movies, making meals and hanging out at the large kitchen table. Downstairs ping pong was the highlight. There were also games, electronic and board. The long path to the water was well lit at night. We enjoyed the upper and lower deck of the dock and loved the use of paddle boards and kayaks. The cove was private and peaceful. It was a great getaway for us and our young adult children. The WiFi worked great at the house and dock.

This property was perfect for our friend getaway week! It was spacious, had a stocked kitchen, and a good collection of movies and games. The kayaks and paddle boards were great additions.

We had a very nice stay. Perfect for a families with kids. There was lots of wild life that we saw during our visit. The property was lovely. The cove the house is located in is quiet and there is a nice view of it from the house. We enjoyed being near the dam and the all the little beaches to explore in the state forest area. Highly recommend scheduling a night to eat at Bruno’s which is near by.

I rented this house and another for my family of 12. We spent most of our time at the other house. However, Paradise Found was very comfortable and better stocked than any house we have had at SML. We have been coming here for the past 10 years. Fishing was great off the dock. No complaints. Great place.

A lovely get-away house tucked into a quiet neighborhood. We loved the updated look and feel of the property. Out door decks and walkways a bit shaky but provided ample space to enjoy the outdoors.

I rented this lake house to meet up with some girlfriends as we all live far apart. This was the perfect location and the prefect house. The house is tastefully decorated and has tons of room, more than the 3 of us needed. We only used the downstairs for laundry and to get to the lake/dock. But there is comfy furniture downstairs as well as a ping pong table and a small bar area.
The kitchen is well equipped for your cooking needs and it's about a 20 minute drive to the grocery and some restaurants (outside of the marinas).
The beds were comfortable, and the 2 bathrooms had great water pressure and quick, hot, hot water.
We loved our time here whether it was hanging out in the house on the cold, rainy days or hanging out by the lake on the 2-tiered deck on the 2 warm days. We look forward to returning and taking advantage of the kayaks and paddle boards that are available!!

I stayed with family and 3 small children. The house was great and the property was beautiful! We found great places to hike nearby and a disc golf course and playground for the kids also. The house was super clean and stocked in the kitchen with everything we needed which was so nice since we were cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Definitely recommend staying at this house and hopefully will be going back in the future

Arrived for a 7 day stay on the lake, house was clean and we had a blast with the kids, everyone was pleased. On the second to last day, one of our adult children met us at the house and brought their dog (without asking me first). I was aware the house had a "no dogs" policy, but didn't want to send them back hundreds of miles, so I allowed them to stay the night. The owner was very angry when she found out about this in the morning and claims we damaged the property in a number of ways. I'm still uncertain exactly what she claims we damaged, but when we left the property, I was unaware of any damage. The other issue that came up was our checkout time. Apparently in some of our messages back and forth the owner specified 9am as checkout time, but we had been relying on the checkout time posted in the listing itself, which is 10am. So there was a miscommunication issue there that added to the owner's frustrations. If you are to rent this property, be sure to abide strictly to the pet policy and make sure you know what the actual checkout time is if you want avoid problems.

Great Family Vacation
Paradise Found was a great home for our family including our 11 month old grandson. We enjoyed paddle boarding, kayaking and floating from the dock. The down stairs basement room was perfect for relaxing at night. Great week with lots of fun memories! Thanks!

We enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed being able to use the kayaks and paddle boards. If you go, be sure to eat at Drifter’s...incredible food. Something we were not prepared for was having to haul our trash off site during our stay. The location wasn’t too far away but it wasn’t pleasant having to take in our vehicle.

Our family had a wonderful time staying at SML. The house had plenty of space for the 8 of us. The lake was beautiful. We rented a boat and had a lot of fun swimming, fishing, watching sunsets and moon rises. We had a few maintenance issues but the owners were very responsive.

All the previous reviews raved about the owners, location, and cleanliness of this place. It didn't disappoint. My wife said it was the best VRBO we've ever rented. My family of 6 (kids aged from 7-14) loved the location at the end of a cove. The paddle boards and kayaks were a great source of entertainment.
