Q: Can you supply linens, sheets and towels for an extra fee
A: No, but there are linen services there who are happy to arrange that for you.

Q: Is there anything nearby - stores, wineries, restaurants, marinas etc.
A: Yes! The White House store-snack bar-gas station is about 6 miles away. Hickory Hill Vineyards and Ramulose Ridge Vineyards are about 11 miles away, and Mitchell's Point marina & restaurant about 2 miles away. Many others a little further.

Q: What's the nearest channel marker Where is the house located on the lake
A: The nearest channel markers are R1 and W1, which are close to the dam and the largest, deepest part of the lake. Shorewood Cove is in the Mountain View Shores neighborhood southeast of the State Park. The house is in a quiet cove and close to the best fishing, boating, and water sports area on the entire lake.

Q: I love to fish, drink beer, and lie about both. Do I need a fishing license
A: It depends. If you fish from private property then you do not need a fishing license. If you fish from a boat, then you need a fishing licence. Licenses can be purchased at the local marinas, some stores, and the state park. Beer is sold at marinas, stores and groceries - please enjoy responsibly. Lying is expected, that's why they call it fishing instead of catching.

    The house was lovely. Plenty of room for our party of 6. We didn’t get the chance to use the kayaks but they had plenty with vests to use also! We spent most of our trip on the dock fishing and even though we didn’t catch much, it was so relaxing. The kids loved the ping pong table. We were a last minute reservation during the off season but the hosts were still great about accommodating us and everything was great!

    This was our second time staying at John & Michelle's beautiful home, and it was fabulous! Everything is super organized, and the kitchen is equipped with everything -- and I mean everything -- you need to create a gourmet meal! And not flimsy Target stuff -- quality pots and pans, utensils, baking dishes etc., etc.! In fact, quality is evident throughout with comfy beds and furniture. We love this place! Plus, our hosts made our anniversary special with welcoming notes and treats! What a lovely surprise! Just the best.

    This house and the location on the lake are perfect for a relaxing family getaway. We especially loved the screened porch (felt like a treehouse) and the dock. We really enjoyed the kayaks and SUP. The owners take good care of the house and it is equipped with everything you need. Everyone asked if we could come back again!

    Amazing home perfect for our family. The house was clean & everything is clearly labeled & organized. Fully stocked kitchen made cooking meals so easy. Loved that the kayaks & paddleboards are provided, made it so easy to get in the water as soon as we arrived. Beds were comfortable & plenty of space for our family to spread out. The high dock has great views of the mountains & lots of seating. We loved the screened in porch for meals & reading while a storm rolled in. Hosts were fantastic & so quick to communicate. Highly recommend & will definitely stay here again.

    Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this SML home! The owners have thought of EVERYTHING. The house was clean, comfortable, and exceeded our expectations, Since we had beautiful weather during the Memorial Day weekend, we made use of the outside areas, especially the dock,upper deck, and screened in porch. We also used the kayaks and the SUP, and did some fishing. I'm especially pleased with the communication with John and Michelle, who were available for my questions and requests. I highly recommend this rental!

    You can’t go wrong staying at this home tucked away on the cove. We were pleased with how clean and inviting the house was when we arrived. There was plenty of room for our family of five. The kitchen was well equipped so we could prepare all our meals avoiding going out and missing anytime relaxing. The owners were very responsive to any questions and were easy to communicate with both prior to our stay and during our visit. We will certainly be back.

    One of the reasons we chose this property was the ease of access to the lake. We appreciated the platform 'steps' with handrails, and all the wonderful 'toys' that were included (kayaks, floats, life vests etc.) I always study the photos carefully before renting. We don't want a home filled with leftover furniture and Goodwill finds! John & Michelle's place is tastefully decorated and very welcoming and everything was fresh and clean. Our hosts were very kind and responsive to the few questions we had. We couldn't have enjoyed our time at SML more!

    We came to the area to visit our son. This was a truly amazing place. It was clean and spacious, with nice amenities. The house itself is quite comfortable and has a fun game room. The highlight is the lake access and immediate availability of kayaks and paddleboards. Also they provide the life jackets. The owners are very responsive and available- though we did not need anything because it is all set up so well!
