2025 Upgrade Teaser (much more to share soon). Late last year, we decided to move away from the travel size bar soap that we provided in our Dockside Daze bathroom guest amenity collection and upgraded to body wash dispensers in each shower. Following the move, Ken went on a search for the perfect body wash that captured the essence of being at the lake. After extensive research and several evaluations, we decided to go with this. We really like it and hope you do too.

SML has a new venue and it's just 1 mile from DSD - Wind Vineyards. There is an amphitheater, a future winery of course, and they hold a number of other events throughout the year. We're so glad to be so close to this great local amenity.

We had our first snow in 2 years at SML this past week. About 5 inches blanketed Dockside Daze and, although short lived, the lake has a unique beauty when it snows. The Winter weather will soon give way to the amazing Spring/Summer weather and perfect water temps to bask in. The calendar is starting to book up but some choice dates are still available.
