Perfect Pool Retreat

The pool area was so inviting! With its stunning views of the lake, I could relax in the comfy deck chairs while my kids enjoyed the shallow end and music playing in the background. It was the perfect way to unwind and have fun at the same time.

Fun on the Water

I loved the variety of beachside water toys available! Paddle boards and canoes were just steps from the lodge, making it so easy for my family to hop in and enjoy the lake. It was an excellent way to stay active while soaking up the sun.

Great Games Room

The added games room with a fireplace was an absolute highlight during our stay. On drizzly days, it provided the perfect cozy space for family fun. We enjoyed playing games together and just hanging out-it made our trip so nice!

Luxurious Accommodations

Our cottage was not only clean but also well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The decor was tasteful and the layout was perfect for family gatherings. It truly felt like a home away from home.

Carmel Cove Resort is a fantastic spot for families, offering beautiful lodges right on the beach with stunning views. Our lodge was modern and very clean, but it could have used a bit more kitchenware for larger groups. The availability of kayaks and paddle boards was a huge plus, but be prepared for a steep hike if you're in the top row lodges.

We had an incredible stay at the resort! Our unit was spacious, luxurious, and had a stunning view of the lake. The amenities were top-notch, especially the pool and fire pit area for family gatherings. However, the lack of an on-site restaurant was a bit of a drawback, as we needed to drive for meals. Overall, it's a perfect spot for families looking to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Our stay at the resort was fantastic! The location, right by the lake and close to various outdoor activities, was perfect for our family getaway. The accommodations were modern and comfortable, although the hide-a-bed could use some improvement. With a great selection of amenities like paddle boards and kayaks, we really enjoyed our time. However, the lack of on-site dining options was a bit of a letdown, and we had to drive a short distance for groceries and restaurants.
