Turtle Cove is unique as it combines the active lake life most would expect, but offers also some of the wildlife you might not expect. The lake front cove was nicknamed Turtle Cove years ago as turtles come ashore each year to lay their eggs and bathe in the sun. Some of the lily pads have been preserved to keep this area as the turtles prefer it, as well as rumored to be one of the best fishing spots on the lake. Swans nest near the cat tails on the side and we are generally the first to see their signets as they hatch each year. There is plenty of clear water to enjoy the lake and activities as well as enjoy the beauty of nature the cove offers us. The apartment you will stay in, is the walkout basement level of the house with your own access and patio, although you may also use the deck above, the grounds, the gardens, etc. All interior pictures are of the apartment.
As our guests, you will have access to over an acre of fun and relaxing space. Read under the grape covered pergolas, sunbath by the pool, warm up in the hot tub first thing in the morning or in the cooler evenings, watch the lake activities or simply nap under the gazebo.

From the gardens to the decor to the warm hospitality this property has it all. Including a pool, hot tub, sauna, expansive yard, and a peaceful view of Clark Lake. The owners treated us like their personal guests and created memories that my family will cherish for years to come.
Stayed with fiance, sisters, and dog for a quick rest break on road trip. Lake and amenities were great. Enjoyed the direct water front access and boats. Accommodations were cozy and as described. Host has adorable animals that came to visit us in the yard. My pup enjoyed playing with the younger one. See picture of her coming downstairs to wish her friend good morning

Absolutely beautiful. Owners are kind and very accommodating. Made our stay wonderful.
Our crew had a great time ringing in the New Year at Turtle Cove! The owners were very kind and made us feel right at home. We also enjoyed the hot tub!
Our family or four had such a nice mini vacation! Sitting in the hot tub, using the sauna, and having a cozy and well-outfitted retreat was just what we needed. Clark Lake is so lovely in the winter; we enjoyed the Beach Bar restaurant and seeing all the water birds. It was great to be able to bring our dog too.
Super relaxing! The yard and grounds are amazing!!! Lots of wildlife to watch. Kayaks were super fun. Jacuzzi was perfect. We missed the pool opening by two days, maybe next time. Great location on a point!
What a nice little place! They had everything we needed! A hottub, a kitchen, and a quiet getaway spot to be with a couple friends. In the summer months, there's a beautiful pool, but it was just too cold for us in March.
Loved the apartment, and loved how cozy & comfortable it was for us!!!
Had a wonderful relaxing time. Everything I needed was here. Everything is clean, neat and tidy. Beautiful views of the lake in the morning and evening. Hot tub is amazing, yes I had a really good time with Mike home away from home. I'm coming back for sure. Everything was great
My sisters and I enjoyed our stay. Meredith and Bill were great host!! Always there to take care of our needs and answer our questions but gave us our privacy as well. They even took us on a pontoon ride around the lake. Pool and hot tub were great! We definitely will go there again!!
It was very welcoming, cozy, beautiful stay. The lights reflecting on the water at night is a sight to see! My bestfriend and I stayed for our first overnight together in 15 years!!! We drank, and laughed way too much! The information booklet inside is very helpful 😊
My family of 4 had a nice time at this property, as it has a lot to offer. The pool is very lovely and highly maintained. The home grounds and lake are gorgeous. The owners are chill and easy to talk to. We ended up "commuting" back and forth more than expected due to a busy week approaching school, which actually was a great (but pricey) way to enjoy this property. This is because the inside of the home is functional and has all you need, but it could use a pare down of decor, and a spruce up for comfort and freshness. Same for some of the outdoor seating spots. Thank you for having us!
We had a great time at this quaint apartment. We worked remotely from the dining table during the day and enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and lakefront in the evenings. We had everything we needed. It was remote enough to be relaxing, but close enough to any necessary amenities. We also encountered a lot of wildlife; swans, geese, sandhill cranes, fish, and we even found a tiny baby turtle and help it to the lake.
The hosts were wonderful and very accommodating. The property is beautiful and we especially enjoyed the fur babies and appreciate being able to bring our own aging pup. Having to pass through a bedroom to get to the bathroom was a little inconvenient but we didn't know we would have another couple with us when we first reserved the apt so that was not an issue that could be changed. We were very appreciative that we were able to add another couple to our reservation. Thanks for everything and we would return if needed to again!
Bride and bridesmaids stayed night before the wedding and the newlyweds stayed the wedding night. Groom said the bed was very comfortable. It is a nice small one bedroom apartment.
