The best place at SML
We have stayed at many places over the last 35 years at SML and this was the best. The host was awesome. The beds and linens were great. Most rentals we have stayed in the beds were not good and doesn't help when you are trying to rest and relax.

Another Great Stay at The Anchor
The Anchor was great yet again for our family. Clean, organized, and with great amenities, this place does not disappoint! You can tell reading the reviews that the same guests keep coming back because the house, the hosts, and the lake are all excellent!

A gem at Bernards Landing for our family's annual lake trip
We spent our first 4th of July week at The Anchor at Bernard's Landing, at SML. We have rented the lovely Anchor for our second time. An annual family vacation using the wonderful amenities at Bernard's. 70+ acres of Nature's beauty with many facilities for enjoying sporting activities ; be it on the Lake , pickleball, pools, volleyball courts, tritoon / jet ski rentals, fishing and swimming at dock out front of this beautiful townhouse. The house had every comfort in sleeping areas , cooking space/ utensils, and comfy beds for our family's needs. Owner Joe Bandy will assist you before & during your stay too. We highly recommend The Anchor

A great place to unwind!
We had a party of 10 and took up every bed in the house. The home feels much larger in person than the photos makes it look. We had plenty of space. Never had an issue with docking up right behind the house. Beautiful cove. Beautiful views! Would 10/10 recommend. The kids loved the pools and the beach SO much. We have rented different homes 3 other times and this one was hands down the best! Joe was so communicative and helpful with any issue we had. We loved renting here so much we booked for next year before we even left the house. Thanks for everything Joe and we look forward to next summer!

Another Great Stay
This is our second year in a row staying at The Anchor and it did not disappoint. The house and property are perfect. This year we had some rainy days and the indoor pool and games available in the house kept us busy until we were able to get back out on the lake. Cannot wait to return next year!

Outstanding Trip!
This was our 2nd year staying at The Anchor, and like last year, it was excellent! The location is perfect, the house is well set up (recent renovations made it even better), and Joe’s communication tops it all off. We can’t wait for next year!

Great week
This was our 4th year renting & we plan to return next year. Great layout & location, well stocked with kitchen items, grill, fridges, washer & dryer, linens, etc. The owner is very accessible. We would definitely recommend this unit.
