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!
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.
Our small group had a really nice time and the cove/dock offered a lot of peace and quiet. The sunroom was a wonderful place to hang out. Perfect stay for all of us.
