Lovely little slice of heaven. My family enjoyed 6 nights at this property and it did not disappoint. Whole house was well stocked, and well thought out. Bass fishing off the dock or canoe was great for the boys. Hot tub and outdoor shower were enjoyed by all. Dinners on the deck with a beautiful view was so relaxing. Swimming in the cove was a nice treat too! Wrapped up a few of the days with a fire on the beach. What’s not to love? Owners were so kind and communicative. Thank you for a great week!

Celebration weekend

We were in the area for our son’s wedding in a nearby town. This property was the perfect place to relax and play between wedding activities. We enjoyed paddling on the lake, bbqs and having evening fires at the solo fire pit. The kitchen was great for meals and upstairs and downstairs areas for outdoor meals was perfect. I would book again in a heartbeat. Thank you for an amazing stay.

Lovely cove setting. Great lakefront for kids! Stayed a week, 7 kids 4 to 11. They loved jumping off dock, deep at end, more shallow on side. Easy for watching them too.They loved using kayaks and paddle board. Plenty of life jackets!We did walk to ballfield and icecream, but it was a very busy street with no sidewalks.Super duper clean home!!(and I'm picky about this) very responsive host! It was a wonderful week with grandkids!

Perfect lake vacation

For the fourth year in a row, my friends and I had a magical time at "The Cove." The place is in a perfect private location and ALL the amenities. We lucked out with incredible weather. Claudia and Tim are absolute gems. Just the kindest people, even dropping off some extra firewood for your early in the week. They are so easy to communicate with and very helpful. I cannot stress enough that this is our happy place and we look forward to it every summer. Can't wait for next year.

Perfect family vacation spot

Our family had a wonderful time on Sokokis Lake! The house is located on a peaceful cove, and you don't feel like you're right on top of the neighbors. The house really had everything we needed and was well laid out and organized. We brought some of our own water crafts but there was also a canoe, kayaks, and a paddleboard we could use, as well as life jackets for the kids (perfect for paddling out to get ice cream in the evenings). Our hosts went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed, and they were incredibly communicative. Having the hot tub overlooking the lake was pretty spectacular!

Hi Christina! We're happy you enjoyed your vacation at the lake...it sounds like you took full advantage of exploring the coves, enjoying the hot-tub and paddling over to the Sokokis Seafood Shack for ice-creams...It doesn't get better than that! We hope you've created lots of family memories and would love to see you back! Take Care~

A beautiful escape

This is our second time vacationing here and we loved it just as much as the first. It feels like home, largely because Claudia and Tim make everything so welcoming and warm. They're incredibly responsive and accommodating. The cottage itself is immaculate and well-stocked with everything you could need. The privacy and quiet that the cove affords can't be beat. It feels like your own swimming hole and lakefront oasis. We will keep coming back every summer for as long as we possibly can. It is truly a gem!

Perfect Vacation-year 3!

This year, my best friend and I rented this perfect cottage in Limerick for the third year in a row. It's truly beginning to feel like a home away from home. The location is private and literal steps from the water...a little cove that feels like our own giant swimming pool. Any and everything you need is provided by our amazing hosts. Furthermore, Claudia is wonderful to communicate with and easily accessible. The house was, once again, immaculate. Camp Go-Ahead is truly my happy place and I am already excited for next year. Thank you Claudia!!

Beautiful Lake Front Hideaway

We had a wonderful stay at this property! It was like vacationing at a 5-star resort. Beautifully maintained home with a gorgeous view of the lake/pond. We rented a Pontoon boat with easy access to the dock. The hot tub was a great treat along with the solo stove for smores. The four grandchildren loved swimming and tubing in the lake and also playing in the Bonus patio room. Everything you need in a kitchen was there - even a filtered water dispenser. All the beds were comfortable including the pull-out couch. Internet access was great as well. There is a restaurant, grocery store and doughnut shop within walking distance. Can't wait to come back next year!

Great week at the cove!

We had a lovely week at Camp Go-ahead :) It was a bit rainy, but luckily it was mostly at night. We canoed, kayaked, padleboarded and fished off the dock. It was fun exploring the cove and the lake. The swimming was great, a nice sandy bottom and deep enough. We had a fire in the solo stove, and toasted marshmallows - the quintessential summer vacation! The hot tub was great, and the outdoor shower and foot wash was absolutely perfect. The road was busy and a bit noisy, as were some neighbors, so we didn’t get to enjoy the beautiful front porch, but we spent most of our time in the lake anyway. Thank you for sharing your home with our multigenerational family!

Perfect Getaway

The pictures didn’t do this place justice. My family and I had an amazing time at Tim and Claudia’s. Everything was very clean upon arrival, they even left a cute gift basket! Everything was well stocked throughout the house. Communication with Claudia was great, they even had a pump sent over when we needed to inflate a football. So sweet. We had the pleasure of meeting Tim on our way out too and he was wonderful. It was a scorcher the week we stayed, so not having AC was a little tough of the time but it cools down a lot most nights. Being in the cove is perfect. Sandy beach was a gradual walk in and my 4 year old son LOVED jumping off the dock over and over, as well as going in the canoe. Hot tub was amazing at night and the outdoor shower was so convenient. Hummingbirds and dragonfly’s everywhere, it was a magical little oasis for us. Thank you again!
