FAQs:
Q: Can you rent boats nearby?
A: Yes, Mitchell's Point marina is about 2 miles away, they rent pontoon and ski boats

Q: Why are guests required to bring their own linens, sheets and towels?
A: Nearly all guests prefer to bring their own for convenience and cost savings. Same for trash bags, paper products etc.

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.

Relaxing, clean and comfortable

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!

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.

Well equipped house

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!

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.

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.

Serene and clean

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!

Very Nice Property

Our group of 6 adults stayed for our yearly reunion at 110 Shorewood. John & Michelle, the owners were great to communicate with, the property was in a beautiful setting within a quite lakefront cove perfect for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing! We had a really big one get away,,,no really we did !! Should have had the net ready. The kitchen had everything you need and then some, there was plenty of seating in the living areas, the beds were comfy cozy, bathrooms clean, and a perfect view of the lake from the screened in porch, balcony or the high dock. The lake water was crystal clear and fairly warm for a mountain lake. Kayaking and paddle boarding off of the dock was a breeze, and floating on a noodle even easier. We highly recommend this property for any active water loving group, or just to relax, read a book in the quiet of nature, and watch the deer walk by.
