We had a great time! The check in process was super easy, and everything in great shape when we arrived. The pool and beach area are a great bonus for young kids, and we always had a lot to do! Some of the furniture had seen better days, but it is great, sturdy furniture for a family vacation. Will definitely stay again.

Bolton Cove is very beautiful, peaceful and quiet. We took kids and grandkids for the week they loved the pool, the beach, fishing and having the boat right there to rent was a big plus. We rode to restaurants and ate and cruised the lake looking at all the beautiful homes. The pictures of our house doesn’t do it justice. It’s was really big with plenty of room for all 11 of us. I highly recommend this place.
