We had such a wonderful family weekend at the Family Cove Retreat! It was the perfect place to relax, spend quality time together, and make special memories with family. We truly enjoyed our stay and couldn’t have asked for a better place to gather.
The property was great! Very convenient, and the layout of the house was awesome! The lily pad for the lake was perfect for the adults and kids! It was a great time for everyone!

Thank you Sonya! We look forward to hosting your family again in the future!
We loved our stay! The house layout was perfect for our group and the view was gorgeous! We couldn’t think of a house with a better view on the lake than this one. The whole experience was so peaceful and serene and just what we needed. The house itself was clean and organized with everything we needed. We rented a boat so the private dock was perfect and my kids loved swimming and going on the rope swing. The host was also super attentive and helpful. We truly enjoyed our weekend and will definitely be back to stay.

Thank you Kelly! We look forward to hosting your family again in the future!
Amazing rental!! The home is beautiful and just as the listing shows, and more! Pictures do not do justice for this home!! You have to see it in person to see the full beauty of it! Nice boat dock with plenty of water fun for all ages (rope swings, large water mat, etc.). We launched our pontoon at the neighborhood boat ramp, which was very convenient and easy. The ability to have a safe place to dock our boat at night to be ready for the next day is a HUGE plus for us!! Very convenient! The lake view from the house is absolutely STUNNING! The layout of the house was perfect for our party! Very spacious rooms and open concept. Two AC units that keep the house very comfortable. The host was easily accessible for all questions with quick responses. We will definitely be returning to this property in the future as long as it is available! Thank you Hidden Cove! We had a wonderful time!!!

Thank you Tori! We hope to have the opportunity to host your family again!
How do I start? Wow! This home and location are wonderful! As soon as you walk in you can see the outdoors through the back windows that lead to the spacious porch overlooking the private dock and beautiful lake view! The home has a wonderful layout for families with spacious kitchen and living areas. The bedrooms were all comfortable and clean. I love the design of the home! We also enjoyed walking the neighborhood. The dock is set up perfectly for lake fun! Early morning coffee was best in the back porch and one morning even saw a flock of ducks flying just above the water! It’s such a beautiful location and home! The owners were very thoughtful of our needs in wanting everything to be nice and comfortable and clean! Very clean home! The family is excited to visit again!

About the host
Hosted by Lake Rental
We’re so grateful for the opportunity we’ve had to live and travel throughout the U.S. and abroad. Along the way, we’ve discovered that some of our most memorable experiences have come from staying in homes rather than hotels. There’s something truly special about being welcomed into a space that feels personal and thoughtfully cared for - it adds a layer of comfort and connection that enhances the whole trip. That’s the kind of experience we hope to offer our guests.
