It was the perfect place to stay with 4 families all with kids from 1yrs to 9 year old.
Lots of fun things to do. We were in town for family wedding and the space and location worked for what we were looking for.
4.8
Our teens had lots of indoor entertainment options - the game room was a hit. It was a short easy walk for ice cream, a local coffee shop and pizza. The onsite boat launch was very convenient. We enjoyed our stay!

Great place, we really enjoyed the place and location.

Christmas family getaway was everything we expected. The house is beautiful. Perfect set up so our littel one could go to bed and we could play games in the game room.
Looking forward to returning during the summer and being able to use all the outside amenities. Property manager was a delight and extremely helpful with everything.
4.8
Property was very clean and comfortably fit our large group. The kids loved the game rooms and movie room.

Owners were gracious in letting us arrive a couple of hours early so we were able to get in some boating on a lovely Friday afternoon. Boating was facilitated by their private boat ramp and ability to tie up to their pier. Large kitchen and dining area meant everyone could sit at the dining table and multiple people could be in the kitchen at the same time.
Cool morning meant exploring the home's many game rooms....such fun and a man land 4th bathroom. Little ones enjoyed the sandbox and swing set.
Owner was very responsive to questions. A few items needed attention but that is often the case with vacation homes and nothing impeding us having a good time. We plan to use this home again.

Love the location of this home, and the direct access to the water. The pirate ship in the yard was a huge hit with our kids. The rooms were all well-appointed and comfortable as well. My only criticism is the basement ceilings are so low that it was hard for some members to stand down there. Otherwise, we had a great time. Fabi was a very accommodating contact as well. Thank you!

Our family gathered at this house for a long weekend and we had the best time. Great access to the water and marinas, the home was comfortable and large enough for the group, and it was easy to access from the airport.
This property is located next to a commercial building, but we got over that with the amazing sunsets and nice lawn for playing outdoors. Thank you for the great stay!

Our stay here was incredible! We would highly recommend. 4 families with 6 boys and it was perfect. We had a question about the air and the hosts called immediately and then followed up to ensure everything was great. There is so much to love. The house has everything you need inside and out to have a great vacation on the lake. The kayaks supplied were great and we also took advantage of Chain of Lakes boat tour. The boys loved the basement: pool, air hockey, foosball, chilling on the great couches and chairs with the large screen tv. 4 bathrooms and 3 refrigerators! The weather was great and we used the boat launch as well. Plenty of parking in the drive way. The kitchen has all you need and we had multiple family meals at the large table and extra table. Fire pit was perfect for s’mores. A manual laid out all the information but the hosts are very accessible and kind which makes a huge difference! There is a ton to do on the chain but we really just enjoyed the home and each other.

Great house, right on the lake with lots of things to do with the family! We played games, had a movie night, a bonfire, went fishing and rented a boat. Plus the massage chair was the best!

-This house was so perfect for our trip. There were 4 families and we never felt like we were cramped.
-The house was very clean and had absolutely everything we needed for an easy, convenient stay.
-On the cold days there was plenty to keep everyone busy with all of the game options. The theatre and massage chair were a wonderful way to relax. We didn’t need to leave the house to be entertained, but we did make a short drive to grand Geneva for some sledding fun.
-Watching the bald eagles on the lake was enjoyable for everyone.
-I would like to add that the house and it’s open floor plan made traveling with my niece, who has an oxygen machine, easy and allowed for so many memories to be mad.
This house was a great way to spend our family trip and I would absolutely stay there again.

The place was fine, but the dock was completely infested with duck poop making it unusable. When we called to ask the owners how to handle, we were told there was no working outdoor hose and no broom - basically no solution. The propane tank was also missing to the grill requiring us to buy our own. We were pretty bummed over the whole situation - won’t be back.
4.8
The house was a great fit for our week of boating on the Chain o' Lakes. The communication was prompt and thorough to our needs and worked well prior to arrival and during our stay. The house was very nicely equipped (kayak, fire pit, chairs) and things were in working order. Furnishings were clean and well maintained. I asked about a gas grill prior to arrival and, since there wasn't one, the owner arranged for a new grill to be purchased and ready for use.! There's also a great massage chair in the basement that was an added treat. Overall, very pleased with our stay!

Great Stay!!
My family stayed in this house while attending our family reunion and absolutely loved it! Their remarks - kitchen well-stocked, beds very comfortable, house well-decorated; only recommendations (because we are a tall family!) is to put a low clearance sign on the entry to the media room!! Overall - it was great and we would love to rent it again when we have family in the area!

Whole Family Vacation
This Captain Cove's House was the perfect size for our extended family group vacation. The rooms in the house were just as beautiful as shown on the website. The outside area was very spacious for activities and our young ones loved the pirate ship, boat sandbox, and swings. We had fun gatherings each night around the Fire Pit making Smores and telling stories. And most importantly to us was being able to keep our Pontoon Boat right there at the attached dock. We did have a few questions when we arrived and the owners Ken and Fabi were fabulous to work with and responded to us with answers very quickly. We would love to return sometime in the future.
