Where to even start! Gene was the most absolute wonderful host and made us feel so welcome from the very start. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed to kickstart the weekend. There were so many amenities, but we heavily enjoyed the kayaks and they were so much fun. I would definitely recommend booking this place for a weekend getaway as the view was simply amazing. Gene even wowed us with his card tricks and honestly, that was literally the cherry on top. I can go on and on about how great this location was and how great Gene was, but you should definitely find out for yourself and book. You will not regret it!! It was secluded and the quietness was top tier. The cabin was phenomenal and had enough space for 4 girls with a lot of bags (lol) and the hot water was ahhhmazing. Thank you Gene for hosting us and honestly being so welcoming and kind, especially with the birthday party. It was truly a pleasure and we will be back !!
Me and a group of friends rented out both of Gene's cabins for an extended weekend. The short version of this review is we had a blast and can't wait to return. The long version. Gene has a phenomenal setup for lounging, partying, exercise, really whatever you might be looking for from a lakeside stay. Besides the 2 hand-built cabins, you'll find an outdoor kitchen, a plethora of kayaks/ paddle boats, a pickleball/basketball court, and a "what I admit" is a sketchy looking water slide (THAT VERY QUICKLY BECAME THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE TRIP) Gene himself is a phenomenal host. He managed to be both friendly and respectful of our time and space. I could describe him as down right neighborly. As far the lake itself goes, you'd be hard pressed to find a better spot along the lake. Stewart's cove has a soft muddy beach with tall reeds on both sides of the property. These reeded areas are filled with toads and turtles (which should be everyone's favorite fresh water critters) the toads helped keep most of the mosquitoes at bay, allowing us to sit outside and enjoy the amphibian chorus in the evenings. We kayaked out into the lake proper and found ourselves circling 2 of the islands available to explore as well as what could only be described as a "secret" creek. I could go on and on. But truth is, if you've read this far you need to go book some time with the Stewarts and find out for yourself.
This was a wonderful place to stay for a family getaway. Gene was a wonderful host and was very responsive and provided everything we needed and more. This is the most beautiful lake and our kids had an amazing time in the kayaks and playing in the water. We used the fire pit to do all our cooking and it was amazing. We will be back for sure!
So relaxing and the views were beautiful! The cabin was very neat & cosy. We enjoyed kayaking, fishing, the outdoor kitchen & fire pit. Gene was a Awesome host! Most definitely recommend Stewards Cove! We loved our stay & it was just what my little family needed! Will come back very soon! 5 stars hands down!
Amazing stay. Gene offered unmatchable hospitality. This cabin has everything you can think of, including an incredible view. Very secluded and tranquil. 10 out of 10!
The cabin was very secluded, peaceful, and easily slept 6 people. There was plenty to do while we were there: ping pong, basketball, kayaking(our favorite), etc. We had plenty to do, even on the day it poured. The TV allows you to sign in to any streaming service so we watched some bowl games as well. The view from the bedrooms and living room was SPECTACULAR! The owner was lovely and offered us an extra night when he realized how much rain we were getting. He was very helpful. My family and I can’t wait to go back.
What a gem!!!! We had the best visit at Stewart Cove. So peaceful, so quiet, and so many awesome amenities. The house itself is extremely clean and comfortable and fit our family of 7 very well. Although, we didn’t spend much time inside since were only inside to sleep! We spent all our waking hours outside - playing on the kayaks and paddle boat, floating on the mat, watching the turtles and birds and beaver (so cool! He swam right up to us!!!), and swimming in the lake. It was so private. We had the entire cove to ourselves. Our children range in age from 2 years old to 13 years old and every child had something fun to do and nobody was ever bored and nobody ever asked to go inside and watch TV! What a great chance to unplug, enjoy nature and each other. We also had the privilege of meeting the owner, Gene. I don’t think there is a nicer person out there. He made sure we had everything we needed and we left feeling like we were family. We can’t wait to go back!
The cabin has an amazing view that can’t be beat. The sunset and sunrise are really lovely and the cabin is fully equipped. I think it’s a nice place to spend time with family as there are many kayaks to use and they provide lots of games to play. The cabin is a great getaway from busy city life and it’s really peaceful. I recomen anyone to stay here for a weekend.
Our family had such a great time at Gene's amazing cabin this weekend! The views and hospitality were absolutely phenomenal. We booked this cabin as an opportunity for our family of 3 kids and 2 adults to experience some technology free bonding time, and this cabin delivered in every way (though we may have cheated a little on the no technology rule and enjoyed a family movie together on the DVR provided). The views from the cabin are breath taking. Panoramic views from the second you walk in. You can sit on the couch or lay in bed and not miss a minute of the gorgeous views. We would come back for the views alone, but this cabin had so much more to offer. Gene was such a welcoming and accommodating host. We forgot some essentials (like bug spray!) and he generously let us borrow his own. Our kids loved him and the fun toys he offered, and he had great recommendations for our time there. He was so kind and a true joy to be around.
