There were 8 of us staying here and we each had our own bed. Everything about this place was delightful! The owner thought of everything and was very pleasant to communicate with. We would definitely return!
The Cove House was the best! We hosted a family gathering for 90-year-olds to infants and it was the perfect location! The house was clean and the outdoor spaces were very accommodating. We could not have asked for a better property. Our hosts were very attentive and willing to help us with anything we needed at any time. I highly recommend this property.

Thank you Lori! You and your family were the perfect guests!
This is a wonderful home especially one with children. It is so prepared with many items you don’t see at many homes like a baby gate at the top of the stairs to prevent any falls and a step stool. The grassy fenced in yard gave the family a nice place for games too. I highly recommend this home.
This place has so much room to spread out; it’s actually hard to understand just how much space it is until you’re in it. The primary suite is one of the biggest primary suites I’ve ever been in and the deck is big enough (and has plenty of seating!) for multiple families to hang out. Three full bathrooms is definitely helpful when you’re there with a crowd. The “game room” reminds me of pool house vibes - as it’s attached to the house, but a totally separate space. My kids especially loved this room and all of the board games/foosball. I have to say that my favorite touch was the Keurig and mini fridge right in the primary suite. There are two cozy swivel rocker chairs in the room looking over the lake and I sat there to sip my coffee… and I didn’t even have to go down to the kitchen first. Haha!I can’t speak for all of the beds, but the king mattress was quite comfy. Very clean and plenty of room.
