SML Ski School - Pet Friendly Lake Lodge with waterfront deck, firepit, & game room

Boasting private lake frontage and plenty of room to spread out, this leisure lodge comes fully furnished inside and out for family-friendly comfort and entertainment. Swim or launch kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and canoes from the dock or head to the upper deck for sun-soaked lounging. The massive covered porch comes furnished for breezy outdoor living with patio sofas, a gas grill, a banquet-style dining table, and a children's picnic table. When the sun sets, head down to the wood-burning firepit for starlight s'mores and conversation.

Challenge friends and family to a few rounds of Ping-Pong or enjoy casual happy hour entertainment in the game room featuring a smart TV, sofa lounge, and bar area. Children's toys and games are provided, and there's a full-size fridge for keeping cold drinks on hand. The private movie room comes furnished for cinema magic with a 65-inch smart TV and sound bar.

Designed with group gatherings in mind, the sunny main-floor interior features a spacious open layout blending living, kitchen, and dining areas.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This house is such a wonderful spot. The rooms are perfect for lots of guests to all have their own space. Adult rooms are plenty far away from the kids' ! :D The cove that it is in is perfect for swimming and boating out of. The porch has a huge table for dinners which was perfect. This is an older house and the pictures show that. There is some maintenance that could be done to the stairs and such. However, everything is very comfortable and clean and well equipped.A note about the water level, as we were nervous checking in. The dock is not able to be used for boat tie up. We just beached our boat and that worked perfectly ... actually way easier than docking anyway. For swimming, the beaches work perfectly as well. So there was really nothing to worry about and I would/will book this place again even with the low water level.
