Thank you so much for staying at Cove Retreat! We are so happy your group had an awesome weekend and had plenty of room to spread out, relax, and still be together. We truly try to make Cove Retreat feel like family is visiting, so it means so much that the little touches were noticed. We would love to have you back anytime!
Great location for larger family gatherings and very spacious inside and outside decks. The rental was exactly as described with many water activities available. The host was very helpful with explaining activities in the area. I highly recommend this rental.

Thanks again Tom for staying and the recommendation! So glad you enjoyed your stay at Cove Retreat! We try very hard to make all of our guests as comfortable and have the easiest stay possible! All you need is your clothes, food and family! Hope to see you and your family back in the future!
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!!
Cove Retreat literally has it all. Wonderful location, amenities galore, a great home for a completely care free getaway. Would recommend for any vacation and hope to return!
this house exceeded all of our expectations when actually being there in person!! Jill was also so easy to work with and only a text away! We would absolutely come back and stay again!!
The cove is beautiful and quiet....perfect for morning coffee on the lake! Neighbors are very nice. This home has it all for a large group of people including a game room on the lower level and a hot tub on the 3rd level. Highly recommend.....would definitely stay here again!

Awesome group and perfect guests!! Definitely come back and stay with us again!! Thanks for staying and taking such great care of our home!
The house was great, multiple decks and entertainment areas, well stocked for cooking and larger dinners. Very nice and helpful owners, quickly available for any questions. thanks !
We had a great time at the house. Jill was great to deal with, the house was in great shape, and accommodated our group of 14 perfectly. We loved the outdoor bar area, multiple decks, hot tub, and quiet cove. Would recommend to anyone and will try to return ourselves.
Had a great time. This house has lots of entertaining things to do. Really enjoyed the fishing and swimming. Grandkids loved the lilypad and kayaks. We all had a great time. Thanks for a memorable and relaxing vacation!
Way too many GREAT THINGS to list about this place... It is just a wonderful home, plenty of room ( we had 16 people ages19yrs to 54). You can't go wrong here that's for sure. Jill and Randy are such fine people to work with. Give this stay an A+..

Thank you for staying at our home Cove Retreat! Jenifer and her family were fantastic guests! Great communication and kept our home in perfect condition! Hope to see you all again in the future! You and your family are welcomed back anytime!
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!

Great group! Happy Birthday Nick! Bring all the kids next time! Come back anytime! Thanks Becky and Nick!
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.
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!

We took our family - kids and grandkids for a long weekend. Unfortunately, it was not long enough! Randy and Jill thought of everything to make our stay perfect and stress free! The outdoor areas are spectacular! We highly recommend this property and hope to be able to stay here again! Thanks Randy and Jill!
Our family (ages4-73) stayed here Monday until Saturday. There were 18 of us. Plenty of room and so many things to do. We had a couple rainy days and there was lots to do on the decks and in the house. Lots of fun things to do in the water. We enjoyed our time here very much!
