Cabin On The Cove was perfect for our group of sewists and quilters. We enjoyed the lovely water views and especially the wildlife including deer, geese, and a blue heron who lived across the cove. The house was very comfortable and well equipped. We want to return!!

We had a great time celebrating a big family Thanksgiving at this cozy and welcoming cabin. The rooms were accommodating with everything we needed. The kitchen was definitely the best part though. Spacious enough and well appointed for many cooks in the kitchen making memories and of course favorite dishes. The host was very gracious about answering questions promptly. Would definitely return.

Relaxing and peaceful. 3 nights with plenty of space for the five adults. The kitchen was equipped with all the necessary items to cook and enjoy family size meal prep. I would definitely be back and hope to stay at the same location. Also, I found the price for my stay a whole lot reasonable than staying in a hotel.
