Cottage at Smith Cove

Stayed here with my wife and 8 year old son last week. Everyone had a great time! The cottage is situated just steps away from the boat dock and beach for swimming. The cove is a "no wake zone" so no waves or loud noises from boat traffic. Bob is a super friendly guy, couldn't be any nicer. I would recommend this cottage for a family of 3-4. We had fun, thanks Bob!
