Family Reunion

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. We had a large group and the separate individual rooms/bathrooms were nice because we all had more privacy and felt it helped with noise too. The large kitchen was fabulous and the dock was amazing! Great water off dock that you could fully enjoy. Would stay here again.

Perfect for our group!

We held a marriage retreat here, and the gathering spaces were absolutely perfect with a huge industrial kitchen and extremely spacious dining area. The living area was perfect for our group sessions. We also enjoyed having a session outside around the fire pit. All our needs were met, beds were comfy, perfect location. Instructions and descriptions were fantastic, and the host was very responsive and kind. We would most definitely stay here again.

Excellent stay

It was perfect our family of 9 adults and 16 children. Great spot on the water. We rented boats locally and enjoyed tubing, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming off the dock. There are a lot of stairs so keep that in mind if you have anyone with mobility impairments in your party. Enjoyed the large kitchen and living spaces!

All-In-One Event Property on the Lake

This place was perfect for my now wife & I to get married with a small family audience. Plenty of room for everyone, kitchen & dining room were amazing. The views from the back (upper and lower) porches were so satisfying from sunrise to sunset. We had multiple family couples that had their own Suites which really made it feel like a super nice hotel. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an all-in-one getaway for events ext.

Gorgeous!

Our family enjoyed a beautiful, relaxing week at The Cove. The property is stunning! We had all the comforts of home with the serene beauty (and fun) of the lake. The kids enjoyed hiking and playing in the water while the adults enjoyed some quiet time with a book in the large family room. There was more than enough room for our party of 17.

5 Stars – Perfect Spot for Our Team Retreat!

We stayed at The Cove for our high school volleyball team camp, and it was absolutely perfect for our group! The property had plenty of room for all 17 players and chaperones to spread out comfortably, with great common areas for team bonding and downtime.One of the highlights was the lake access—it was in a quiet cove, well away from boat traffic, which made it the ideal spot for the girls to swim, float, and relax safely. We felt like we had our own private slice of the lake.The property itself was very clean, and the host was super responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire booking and stay. There was also plenty of parking, which made arrival and unloading hassle-free.All in all, The Cove gave our team a memorable and relaxing retreat. We couldn’t have asked for a better space to kick off our season!

About the host

Hosted by Ashlee Carpentier

Host profile image
Lake Martin is my happy place. My Gran and Poppa took me and my brother every summer. When my brother had kids, we picked the tradition back up and I've been search for property for the last 3 years. Then we found this place! We fully rehabbed it in 2021.

Why they chose this property

During our hunt for the perfect intimate wedding venue, we found Burke Cove. When the owner told me it was listed for sale, it took all my fiancé could do to keep me from going into shock. We drove up the next day and put in an offer. I wanted somewhere we could vacation each year, make memories and slow down the pace of life. This is it. We renamed it The Cove and did a complete remodel.

What makes this property unique

Each downstairs unit features its own private bathroom and offers direct access to a patio with stunning views of the lake. Guests can enjoy the beautiful cove, which boasts a fantastic dock perfect for boating, swimming, or simply relaxing on the water. The newly constructed retaining walls have created a spacious 20x40 paver area, ideal for lakeside weddings or any social event.
