"Our family (3 sons, 3 daughters-in-law and 6 grandchildren) do an annual summer vacation. We have been to the Outerbanks, Deep Creek Lake, Panama, Rehoboth Beach, the Thousand Islands, and some others. Everyone (even the 3 year olds) told us that this house at SML was the best vacation venue yet! - and I agree. Plenty of room for everybody, a game room, a huge movie theater room with state of the art video and sound systems.Easy access dock - we rented a TriToon boat from Mitchell's Marina & Restaurant, a 5 minute drive from the house. Only one disappointment - Thery have a strict no pet policy, which I get. I wouldn't want big, shedding dogs coming out of the lake and into my house (the fam has a total of 5 of those types of dogs and they were all boarded). But my wife and I have a 10 pound, non-shedding, hypo-allergenic Maltese - basically a lap dog. The no pets policy has no flexibility - that was our only dissappointment. And for those who have never been to SML before, there is maybe 60 miles of winding roads through a rural area of farmland and gravel roads to get to house - everyone was wondering where we were headed and concerned about what we would find when we got to our destination. All totally wasted worry - once you arrive and take a look around, you will realize it was well worth the trip."

"Stayed one night while dropping of kid to college, staff was friendly, hotel room was clean and breakfast was good, can’t ask for much more."

"The house is well stocked with things you need to cook—usually that is not the case but this house had everything. It was very clean and comfortable. Taylor is fabulous and very responsive. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you."

"The hotel was beautiful and the room was spacious and clean. We enjoyed being across the street from Natural Bridge State Park as well. Breakfast was great - and reasonably priced. "

"Very nice hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend "

"We were a very short time, but it was great"

"The Lodge offers simple rooms with comfortable beds and an awesome view of Abbott Lake and nearby mountains. Staff is friendly and helpful. Restaurant was quite good and super convenient. Don’t miss the walk around the lake, which is paved and accessible. It’s a great pre- or post-dinner stroll and we enjoyed it. Excellent stop while taking in the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway! Highly recommend!"

"Close to Liberty University and to restaurants "
