AMAZING COVE! 3 Bed/2Ba Lakefront Home - Hot Tub, Smart TVs, EV Charger, Firepit

This place was Amazing!

Just like home! The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were so comfy, and the view from the large decks was so amazing! This home was spotless and decorated perfectly. Don't hesitate, just go ahead and book now! The owner was very nice and quick to respond to my questions. There is also a nice big driveway and only a couple of steps, which made it so easy for me to carry my luggage inside. Thank you for the great memories.

Nice place to stay in the fairly secluded Cove we were able to bring our boat and park it on the side of the dock which worked out perfect with plenty of bumpers just around the corner. There’s a nice restaurant the boathouse which is a very upscale place has a swim up pool bar. There’s three gas stations within half hour mile of the place the lake is very great miles of boat rides and things to see caught some fish while we’re there we definitely will be back

Relaxing and Peaceful

Our stay at Making Waves was absolutely perfect. The home, deck, and dock were all stunning—every space was thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained. The amenities and supplies went above and beyond anything we expected; from the well-stocked kitchen to the cozy touches throughout the home, it truly felt like a luxurious bed and breakfast. It was the perfect pocket of peace for our group—a serene, welcoming escape that we’ll never forget. Highly recommend!

A Perfect Getaway!!

We just had a remarkable stay at Makin’Waves Lodge. The view is great and the house itself is spacious, spotless, and packed with every amenity you could want, from a fully stocked kitchen to cozy beds that make you never want to leave. The multiple outdoor spaces are perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails, and the hot tub was a relaxing plus! The hosts were super responsive and went above and beyond. Hands down, a wonderful getaway spot—already counting the days until we can come back!
