Swimming: Not a traditional swimming beach. The entire lake is hard sandy bottom. You can swim here-but the lake does get deep pretty quickly, so small kids should be monitored closely.

There is a more traditional shallow water beach less than 1 mile away at Pete's Lake Day Use Area.

This house is comfortable and the lake view is great. The manager was attentive and maintained contact with us. Furniture is in good condition. Water pressure is good and we had plenty of hot water. The house is on a dirt road. The address is not in Google Maps.

The listing of the house on the lake was accurate. It's a lovely, quiet place and the house is roomy. It was clean and comfortable. The outdoor area had lots of chairs, firepit and picnic table.

Dear friends,Jim and I really enjoyed our stay at Turtle Cove. We rested, cooked fancy meals, read books and enjoyed the lake.I promised to let you know if there were items that needed attention. We noted the following:1. Lower corner cupboard of the SW corner of the kitchen needs a new hinge.2.The vacuum filter needs replacing or a good cleaning.3. Window mechanism in the SW corner of the living room needs repair. Some windows do not have handles.It would be nice to have at the cabin:1. Plastic placemats to protect the tablecloth.2. New can opener3. Dust mop4. Dresser in the master bedroom5. Potato peelerThank you again for the wonderful vacation.

The cabin it large and comfortable but there were several issues where it needs general to advanced maintenance ... When I approached the entry door, I could see serious paint loss on the trim and soffits, there was plaster loss around the main bathroom tub, a kitchen cabinet door to the left lazy susan was hanging on by one hinge, the light over the sink was out and not replaceable, one frying pan should have been removed from inventory, one microwave oven did not work, the light dimmer switch knob for the light over the dining table was not operable I had to use the post to control the light, the large window overlooking the lake was VERY dirty and spoiled the view. This unit was not worth the asking price.
