    When driving to the house I got a little nervous and thought maybe my GPS was wrong but trusted the process (as they say) and am glad that I did. The house is beautiful! Clean, open, and quiet- exactly what was needed during the craziness of the end of the year and the holidays. The vibe of the house is neutral and accepting. Beautiful peaceful views great for coffee on the deck in the morning. Host was easy to work with and gracious. Would definitely revisit.

    No complaints here. Lovely home with private dock and cove - great for swimming, fishing and just enjoying the water. The home itself is so well stocked, nicely decorated and comfortable. We had eight adults in total and all really enjoyed their stay. Loved the scenic sunroom, kayaks, paddle board, ping pong and fire pit. Lots to do for everyone!!

    This is our WOW (Women of Wine) trips' 3rd time staying at The Gatehouse in about 8 or so years and the home is in as great condition as it was the very first time, which is rare! Such lovely, inviting, well stocked and comfortable relaxing conditions. The owners are very responsive and friendly. We have decided to make this our regular location for our spring outings!

    The Gate House is a terrific property. Beautiful lake views, lots of indoor and outdoor space, very well maintained. The kitchen supplies were great and, by far, the most extensive we’ve ever experienced with a rental. Our family of 8 had a wonderful Thanksgiving and thoroughly enjoyed the property and surrounding area.

    Wonderful house for a weekend away for longtime friends. Kitchen was well stocked, and the beds were all comfortable. The game room was a nice bonus. Enjoyed the lake views.

    We had a great vacation at the Gate house. The pictures online are wonderful but when we arrived, the layout and the attention to detail was amazing. Beautiful home. The location was great and very private in the cove. I would recommend definitely having a boat ( we rented and many places to choose from) to explore the lake. Everyday was a new adventure and places to explore plus the weather gods were with us this past week. The dock is wonderful for hanging out and enjoying the evenings. Kitchen was very well stocked and made it a pleasure to cook meals. We all agreed we would definitely rent the Gate house again and had a memorable first visit to SML! Thank you!
