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.

Wonderful home in a peaceful cove. Hosts were quick to communicate & provided very useful information about the area and the home. Beds are comfortable & the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. The screened in porch and the top dock were our favorite spots to hang out after kayaking around the cove. Highly recommend & look forward to staying again.

I would highly recommend this listing for anybody who’s interested in enjoying the lake with every accommodation thought of by the hosts. This goes down to the smallest detail, such as making sure that there are enough lifejackets in various sizes, and equipment for children, such as a highchair kids, silverware, and gates. Check-in and checkout was a breeze and communication with the host was excellent. We look forward to our next stay at this location.

We had a great stay at this property! John and Michelle were super responsive and most helpful with great info about area attractions and activities. The house was very clean when we arrived, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen is fully stocked and supplied with everything you didn't even realize you would need. There are so many details in the house that you just don't find in every lake rental. The game room in the basement was a lot of fun in the evening after we had enjoyed the dock area and the tubes and kayaks that are included for use. I highly recommend this place and I'm planning to come back again!

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!
