"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."
