The host was extremely inviting. The home was beautiful with lots of room for everyone inside and out. Extremely clean, lots of amenities provided and everything you could need in the kitchen, and grills outside. Absolutely beautiful views, every deck has a fire table and tons of seating, including the large dock, the firepit outside and the outside (covered) bar. HIGHLY recommend and we will definitely be booking this again!!

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.

Better than expected!

We enjoyed everything about the Cove Retreat from the location close to the dam to all the amenities like kayaks, games, fishing poles, multiple outdoor areas (3 decks, bar, 2 Firepits and of course the dock!). We didn’t want to leave the house the whole week! When we did there are lots of things to do close by! I highly recommend Cove Retreat for your group or family vacations!
