Cottage in the Cove - Privacy / View / Screened Porch / Outdoor Cooking / Dock

5th year in a row and it never disappoints! There is always something new in the home or on the dock to make your time there fabulous! 10/10

This was the third time we used Julie's place. It is well-equipped, nicely furnished and comfortable. The views from the decks are spectacular. Julie is an excellent host -- responsive and accommodating. The huge screened porch is a real attraction, with a ping pong table, fuzzball, hammocks, plus ample seating, and table and chairs -- a great place just to hang out. We put the dock and boats to good use. The cove shelters it from noisy lake traffic. I highly recommend this place.

Really enjoyed our time, being able to see the stars on a clear night is amazing

Very cozy, and very well equipped. We enjoy

We loved our stay here! The cottage was the best we ever seen stocked! The beds were a little rough but over all we truly loved the home and can’t wait to return during the summer!

We always enjoy staying at the cottage in the cove! Julie is a great host and her rental has great amenities. We went during winter so didn’t use the lake or swim deck. We spent our time in front of the fireplace, cooking a big breakfast, playing board games or enjoying the screened in porch. We visit Smith Lake yearly and let our kids pick the rental for this trip. All four voted for Cottage in the Cove! They adore the screened in porch with ping pong, hammocks and foosball. We are ready to come back in the summer. We like to rent the cabin next door too when we have a larger group. The docks are close and it’s a good set up when multiple rentals are needed.

Loved this house. Had a group of 7 adults and it worked perfect for us. Sitting on the deck looking at the lake was magical. Took a nap on the hammock in the screened in porch. Had fun playing ping pong and foosball. Very well stocked kitchen.

Beautiful location. I especially enjoyed the view, the cozy bedrooms, and the big screened in porch was the highlight. Perfect for the rainy weather.

The host was fabulous! We loved everything about the house. It was a quick trip, but we enjoyed. Our son had a great race in the state championship. Thank you.

Perfect home to spend time with family. The steps down to the water was the only thing we all had problems with. Other than that, wonderful stay.

Great family property for weekend getaway

Excellent!

This property was a hidden gem! The kitchen and rest of the house were stocked with everything you need and more! Julie was very attentive and responsive! Our kids loved swimming in the cove and playing with all the toys. The property was wooded and high on the hill so the views were magical. We cant wait to come again!

Great location. Great amenities! Very well stocked. The stairs to go down to the lake were difficult for an out of shape 61-year-old, but good exercise. Great for nature lovers as it is secluded and surrounded by various “critters”! Enjoyed making fun family memories!

We loved this property! This has all the little stuff that makes the stay even better! We loved the swim dock and all the extras there ad all! It's a bit of a hike getting to and from the water but we couldn't have asked for more! We'll be back for sure!

Great place with very attentive owner.

This was our second stay at Julie's cabin. It was great. As before, the cabin was well equipped with everything we needed and more. We made good use of the dock and boats, the large screened porch with ping pong, foozball, hammocks, etc., and the decks, great for reading, relaxing and talk, with a beautiful view to the lake. All in all, very enjoyable weekend.

Totally worth the getaway to this home away from home!!

Good place to relax.

Between the space, ping pong table, kayaks, and paddle boat, fun was had by the adults and the little kids. Not much room for improvement for a family getaway. Really great value!

We had a great time in the fun cottage in the cove! Julie was highly accessible and super helpful! It was nice having so many basic essentials provided! We also found some great local dining, including karaoke for the teens!

House is above and better than as advertised!House is in very good condition, full of supplies that would be needed. Host was very quick to respond and very accommodating. We hope to book this house again for next years trip.

Great weekend

The home and view are fabulous. The house is set up great with everything you need for your stay. We’d definitely stay here again.

We stayed here during Thanksgiving. I was concerned about cooking a full Thanksgiving dinner at a rental. This property has the best stocked kitchen I've stayed in yet! We have stayed in places all over Europe and the US. You can tell when the owner spends time there compared to an investment property. Wonderful!
