"For my birthday this year, I wanted a little peace; to get away for a little and unplug… And I did just that at Long Cove! Highly recommend coming to them if you want a place to relax and be comfortable. This place is a hidden gem! I forgot I was in Charlotte. The first morning there, we noticed the shower wasn’t working. We found out the pipes froze in our cabin (expected with the cold weather we had lately) but the staff at Long Cove immediately addressed the issue and accommodated us. We ended up being move to an even bigger cabin right next door with so much space. We stayed in cabin 7 & the view of the lake from the cabin was breathtaking; especially in the mornings when the sun is rising! The area is quiet and cabins were clean. Overall, Long Cove really is just a peaceful and comfortable place to stay; a great place for families, couples, or even solo trips if you need a break from reality. I really enjoyed my birthday getaway at Long Cove and I cannot wait to come back in the spring/ summer. "

"Great property for families! "

"Excellent and fairly unique experience. Peter met us when we arrived, provided a detailed tour of the houseboat, and made himself available throughout. The top of the houseboat was a beautiful place to enjoy morning coffee. The houseboat was very nicely equipped with everything we needed. "

"Space and room and could not get oven working for us good"

"Everything was great."

"The house is very beautiful with a beautiful view and incredible sunsets!"

"House boat was great! We expected all 6 of us to have a place to sleep as advertised, but were unable to. We luckily brought a few cots to accommodate. "

"Here are the things I liked about the house. It was a new build and very clean. Its location was near to where my sister lives. It had a very nice layout with 3 bedrooms 2.5 bath on main floor, and a mezzanine sleeping area and 4th bedroom and a bathroom upstairs. The kitchen had nice major appliances and smalll appliances It had ample seating area for eating. There were also TV’s in all rooms. We also appreciated the coffee pods.Here is what I did not like. The beds were all very firm. If you are a side sleeper you are not going to sleep well. The couch is equally uncomfortable. Since it is a new build I am assuming the owner has not finished furnishing the house. The bedrooms all desperately need at minimum nightstands on both sides of the beds with lamps. And a chair wouldn’t be amiss. We actually used an ironing board for a side table. The house could use some games/puzzles etc for entertainment and a few throws for watching tvThere are other suggestions i could make but I think the kitchen needs some basic cooking items like salt/pepper, spices, oven mits , mixing bowls, serving dishes.The backyard had zero outdoor furniture. Since the backyard is not fully fenced you could not leave kids unattended since the house is in a busy road. I think the house has a lot of potential to make it a great family friendly place with a little bit more effort. Its 90% there."

"Area felt dangerous and had loud music blaring till 12am. Thank you for teaching us a lesson in triple checking reviews and area before. Will never make this mistake again. Cabin was filthy and they just tried to cover it with glade scent vaporizer. Towels and shower were disgusting. I wish I could say better about this place I really wanted it to be nice."
