Better Lake Than Never was a great location and home for the week. Our family loved the location, amenities, and condo! It was our first time visiting SML, and absolutely will not be our last.

Lovely place at the lake. The condo is situated at the end building, end unit so you’re surrounded by woods on one side which was really nice. Very quiet and views are great. Wish we had more time to sit outside but with two kids we were either at the pool, beach, or out on the boat. Would return again. Great pricing compared to other units too. The kitchen is larger then some others too.
