Relaxing & beautiful

The home was clean and decorated beautifully and had everything we needed. We had 12 family members and there was plenty of sleeping space for all, as well as linens and towels for showers. The view of the cove is very relaxing and the beach and pool are inviting. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Gorgeous Rock Resort

This stay was probably one of them better stay than we've ever had. The house was so spacious and we'll groomed. The setting was great for Christmas. We are contemplating coming back for the Summer to have a greater time. There was nothing so great as the tranquility... the peace...Thanks

Wonderful time with family on this beautiful property. We rented a boat from the local marina and parked it in the dock on site. We made meals in the perfectly appointed kitchen and grilled burgers on the deck overlooking the water. Everything was perfect for a great time with family. Thank you.

Bolton Cove is very beautiful, peaceful and quiet. We took kids and grandkids for the week they loved the pool, the beach, fishing and having the boat right there to rent was a big plus. We rode to restaurants and ate and cruised the lake looking at all the beautiful homes. The pictures of our house doesn’t do it justice. It’s was really big with plenty of room for all 11 of us. I highly recommend this place.

Amazing location but needs major overhaul

Courtland was amazing to communicate with. He was prompt with his responses, provided all information needed. We rented all four homes on the property. The outdoor layout was perfect and had great flow. the proximity of the houses to each other and the outdoor amenities provided wonderful gathering spaces and memories to be made. Courtland was prompt in addressing maintenance issues included a broken a/c in the house, broken fridge in the pool house, and a few other things in the other houses. He reimbursed Us for the broken air conditioner, the boat that we rented that killed while driving, and the inaccurate bedroom count posted in the description. These things were frustrating, but due to his responsiveness, we felt these things did not result in a terrible stay. Unfortunately, two very significant issues in houses 10 and 12 were not able to be addressed while we were there. In house 12, mold was visible on multiple surfaces (around light fixtures, air vents, mirrors, ceiling), there was a very obvious smell of must/mold, and bats could be both heard in the walls around the chimney in houses 10 and 12. Near the end of the week, a bat flew out of the unsealed 1-1.5 inch gap between the wall and fireplace and into the den while we were gathered. Cortland was apologetic and verbally indicated that he would address bags and mold. If these issues can be completely and appropriately resolved, then the rentals have potential.
