Great, big house at the lake

We had a great time at the house. Jill was great to deal with, the house was in great shape, and accommodated our group of 14 perfectly. We loved the outdoor bar area, multiple decks, hot tub, and quiet cove. Would recommend to anyone and will try to return ourselves.

Perfect place for our annual lake stay. We had 5 families with small and adult kids all in one house and had plenty of room for fun, and also some privacy if we needed it! Big dock with everything we needed to hang out from sun up to sun down! The hosts had the best stocked cabinets we've ever had, and they were very responsive and helpful through the whole process and even during our stay :) This is the first time on the lake in over 20 years that none of us felt the need to leave to go have fun! We would definitely stay again, and hopefully soon!

Was a great location, convenient to grocery store, restaurants, activities. Home had everything we needed for kids. Fishing, kayaks, paddle board, fire pit where we made s’mores every night, game room w/ ping pong & pool table, numerous TVs. 36 steps down to dock allowed unexpected exercise☺️ Plenty of beds & bathrooms for big group.

Great place for family fun

Property was just as shown in pictures. So much room inside and outside for a large group. This property has everything you need for a lake trip including a dock for your boat. There are so many outside spaces and when you’re ready to come inside there are tvs everywhere with all the service you’d want. We’ve never stayed at such a well stocked property from dishes to towels and well any small thing you may have forgotten to pack. Their check out process is easy. We had no surprises as everything was clearly said in the listing. Enjoy!!

Picture Perfect Stay

My family loved our stay at Cove Retreat! The home is absolutely beautiful and has anything and everything you could possibly want or need. We fished, kayaked, tubed, skied, cruised the lake and enjoyed each other’s company on the main deck every morning and night. The blackstone was so great to have for cooking big breakfasts and the amount of water toys and accessories would give Target a run for their money. Beds are comfy. Linens and supplies are abundant. Communication with the owners was the best I’d ever had with a rental. I would not hesitate to stay here again and hope we make it back someday. Thanks Jill and Randy! My family made memories for a lifetime.
