Sep 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Deep Water Cove Location We had an excellent time staying here and the location is just about perfect for our family. At the 38mm, you have plenty of restaurants only minutes away by water in the lower mile markers, and still have lots of calmer water in the other direction. The house itself was very clean, the dock was huge and perfect for entertaining our family and storing our boat we brought with us. The house also had on site boat trailer parking which was very helpful since we towed our boat there for the weekend. ##### Brian B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave M.

Jul 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Peaceful Cove This property was easy to get to and we loved how it was tucked back into the cove so it was very low key. The house overall was perfect for what we were looking for and the dock was even better. It is very hard finding docks with large boat slips but this one was perfect. The only complaint we found was that the grill, which we use a lot was very dirty and small for a place that can sleep up to 10 people. Overall great place. ##### Amber F.

It's a location that has two lots. Along with that, the lots on either side aren't lived at right now. It was quiet and peaceful. Not a lot of others around. We had a bad weather week, but it would be a great place to be when the weather was nice. Bonus - we caught one fish. 🐟 ##### Michelle P.

Some friends and I stayed here during the third week in September, and it was a great experience. The house was clean and well furnished. The upper deck was in good shape and the view of the cove was awesome. The lower level walkout was convenient. The fire place and side yard were an added bonus. We spent a good deal of time on the dock itself and in the lake. It was a great place to float and relax in the lake- which was still about 80 degrees. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would recommend it if you are looking for a good place at the lake. ##### Tucker B. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa E. Aug 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very Nice The dock and deck were the best part of our stay. Large deck and dock with a slide, (very wobbly) plenty of chairs and seating. The kayaks were in good shape and the everyone enjoyed the swim pad. Please note there are cameras around the outside of the property. The kitchen was a little small for 10 people moving around but well stocked. King size mattresses were good but the queen one you sunk in the middle. Bunk beds were the metal rickety kind but will hold kids. Overall a very nice property! ##### Lisa E.

Jul 11, 2023 #### Lakehouse with wonderful amenities inside and outside that was perfect for our large group. We had a large group and all enjoyed the house. Everyone had their own space when needed and we all thoroughly enjoyed the large boat dock for our boats. The house was nicely decorated and clean. The kitchen had everything we could have asked for. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of pillows and blankets for our large group. The outdoor areas were all set up nicely and we really enjoyed the firepit. We also were all able to park at the residence with the boat trailers which is hard to find. Check-in and check-out were both easy and the communication was fantastic. We have zero complaints and all said we would absolutely come back to this property. ##### Sherry M.

We booked through VRBO which was easy and straightforward. We did attempt communication with Pamela prior to our stay initially with no response, we found out later after reaching out through VRBO that the emails had gone to spam (which when you run a business that should be checked regularly, in my opinion). It wasn't a huge deal, just caused some concern up front. The house itself was well appointed and very clean. They provided so many extra amenities which were so appreciated - lake towels, toiletries & household goods, coffee and spices. The rooms were good sized, and the bunk/trundle bed in the lower level was great for my three teenagers. Be aware that the stairs to the lower level are quite steep, so if you have mobility issues that could be a concern. The dock had many floatation items, kayaks, a lake mat and plenty of chairs for enjoying the lake. The house is located in a quiet cove, making the stay that much more pleasant. Overall we had a great stay at Gilly's Retreat celebrating my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. It was a trip we will never forget! ##### LeeAnn C.
