Clean and quiet
Posted Jan. 5, 2024 on HomeAwayThis was a last minute booking. One snafu with Vacasa with them not being able to verify my ID via DL but with a quick phone call that was corrected. The home itself is nice and has plenty of space and amenities. The decibel reader is a little off-putting but I understand with VA laws being the way they are. Overall, it was a nice stay.

Quiet Getaway
Posted Nov. 13, 2023 on HomeAwayThe overall stay was great. No major issues. The house is a little dated and seems to have been rented a lot. For example, stains in the tubs from years of use, appliance in main kitchen were a little worn (oven didn’t seem calibrated right and fridge/ice maker made lots of noises).
Don’t forget to pack toilet paper, trash bags, and paper towels if staying a while. We did 3 nights and one roll per bathroom wasn’t enough for 6 adults. The wine glasses had a ton of water spots and just looked to worn to use. The coffee pot is basic and was not clean when we arrived. Speaking of cleaning, it seems as a surface cleaning had been done before we arrived - a long while before we arrived. Would have been nice to have had a sprucing before check in (cobwebs in bathroom) and made us question the type of deep cleaning that occurs between visits (trash under the leather chair, unclean coffee pot).
Warning: The toilets seem wobbly in both guest bathrooms. Very sketchy in the downstairs bath.

Family Reunion Get Away
Posted Oct. 27, 2023 on HomeAwayWe always like to get a house at the lake when we are in town for our annual family reunion. This house is in a great location and has the most amazing area overlooking the lake! We can’t wait to come back in the summer when it’s warm enough to swim!!

Pontoon rental, evening board games and restaurant meals....
Posted Sep. 25, 2023 on HomeAwayGreat property for three couples and kids. Long walk up and down steps to the dock, but that's typical at SML....Great location, easy to boat to Mango's or drive the car to Food Lion or the coffee shop. If you are a foodie, check out Bull Docks restaurant.

Beautiful house... on the inside
Posted Sep. 4, 2022 on HomeAwayWe stayed a full week at this property. The inside was beautiful. It's kept very clean, as they obviously have a cleaning crew to maintain it. There were a few broken bits that come with overuse from strangers, but nothing horrible or that even mattered during our stay. It was spacious and exactly what we hoped for.
The outside? Yikes. The leaves you see covering the deck in the exterior pictures and packed into the roof lines and gutters are apparently part of the decor. We walked up to the porch along two overgrown foot high weed-gardens, and the porch had two mud-bee nests, plus cobwebs and dead bugs everywhere. The gutters are clogged and overhanging with years worth of sticks and leaves. The back deck wasn't worth sitting outside to eat at the table because the ceiling fan was covered in what looked like black mold, soot, or both. The door to the kitchen was covered in scuz. There were more cobwebs with their own cobwebs than a haunted house. Not spiderwebs, which you expect to see outside at a lake house... hanging dark dusty cobwebs caking every bit of the soffit and light fixtures. Every exterior light leading to the dock has been broken off and left to rust in the yard. Overall, this house needs a broom taken to it and power washed to bring it back to life.
This house is beautiful in a beautiful location, it's a shame to see the outside being left to rot.

Amazing views
Posted Aug. 2, 2022 on HomeAwayWe have stayed at this house 2 years in a row for our family vacation we love the location and the views the only things we would change is there is always so many spiders and the tvs kept having problems. They did have someone come and fix the ladder that broke fairly quickly which was great because I have two small children that liked jumping into the lake and climbing back up. Overall the trip was amazing there is only a couple things I would of liked changed but I will definitely come back to this beautiful home.

Relaxing week away with a gorgeous view of the lake
Posted Jul. 10, 2022 on HomeAwayThe house was roomy with a recent remodel to the inside. There are comfy chairs on the upper porch. The docks and decks had a good deal of splintered wood and protuding nails so we all wore shoes while outside. We really enjoyed our week!

So close to the lake.
Posted Jun. 7, 2022 on HomeAwayWe really enjoyed a long weekend in May at the house. Loved the dock, deck, views. The house was very comfortable and clean. There were a few things at the house that needed a little TLC, but hopefully a little handyman time will take care of these things so the rest of the summer is carefree. Highly recommend bringing some folding chairs for the dock/lower deck bc they are both great places to sit but don't have much furniture.
