Labor Day Weekend
We made the trip to Cozy in the Cove over Labor Day weekend with 4 adults and 5 kids. The house interior is surprisingly spacious with that many people and was very clean. The outdoor area was nice by the fire pit, we enjoyed the free firewood and s’mores supplies. We were able to cook out on the grill and the kids enjoyed the frisbee golf setup. The dock was great and we were able to rent a pontoon boat with the help of Angela. The stairs down are a bit dicey and can use some repair, but did not impact us at all. The house is convenient to shops and gas stations. On the boat, it was a nice 20-25 minute ride out to Trident Marina for lunch. Long winded way of saying we had a great time at the house and would come back again in the future.

Lovely weekend
We really enjoyed our stay! The property was very clean and we loved the layout of the house. There are a decent amount of stairs to the water but that is to be expected and the amazing dock made it well worth it! :) we enjoyed the fire pit and smores! Would recommend!

Fun weekend at the lake
Perfect lake weekend getaway for us and our friends (4 adults / 5 kids ages 4-8). Everyone enjoyed adventuring in the kayaks & paddle board, fishing off the pier and playing in the water. Having a gas and charcoal grill were helpful for cooking. The firepit was a special touch to enjoy while the kids played hide and seek and swung on the hammock. Location was fairly close to town (about 20 minutes), so running to Walmart for groceries was convenient. Communication with the host was fast and helpful. We would book again!

Exceedingly Cozy
Our church group had a wonderful stay at Cozy with a View. It was the perfect setting for a girl's getaway - plenty of dishes, wine glasses, cooking utensils, etc to get through our stay. Even though there were nine of us, it didn't feel cramped - there was plenty of room to spread out. The couch was particularly comfy. We also enjoyed spending time on the covered patio, dock, and utilizing the kayaks and paddle board. The host was very communicative and quick to respond to any questions. Would definitely come back!

Perfect Getaway
We were looking for a quick getaway on the Lewis Smith Lake and found the perfect one in Cozy in the Cove. It had everything we need for a nice relaxing time with plenty for the kids to enjoy. The house was clean and fit everyone comfortably. The dock was perfect for everyone to hang out and go back and forth between the water and just string out enjoying the sun. The kids had a blast with the kayaks and the paddle board. The firepit area was perfect to enjoy the nice cool evenings. We got exactly what we were looking for.

Great family getaway!
Our family of five (ages 23 to 53) had an amazing end-of-summer weekend at Cozy in the Cove. Angela was quick to respond to questions prior to booking, helped direct us to a boat rental, and was agreeable to our request for a late checkout which meant two full days on the lake. The house has a great layout, multiple seating areas, and large rooms with updated decor and bathrooms. The sheets and towels were pristine and everyone said their bed was comfortable. The top of the double-decker dock has a great view and the table up there was a perfect place to watch the sunset and play a game before dinner. The next day was a scorcher so we were glad to have the boat. We toured the lake, jumped off the rocks/cliffs, and stopped in shaded coves to float. Our long hot day ended with everyone showering, eating dinner, and watching football. There was plenty of space and seating in the living room for five of us to spread out and lounge. When I woke up at 7am on Sunday it was only 71 degrees. I kayaked for an hour and only saw a beaver and a crane - no boats or jet skis. It was a great way to start the day. We enjoyed breakfast on the screened porch - my favorite spot in the house - before going back to the dock to swim, sun, paddle-board, and relax before heading back home. Cozy in the Cove had everything we were looking for in a rental - the room we needed, cleanliness, amenities, and an easy-to find location with great water access. We will definitely be back.

We loved our stay at Cozy in the Cove! The owners were very accommodating and allowed us to have an early check-in! We esp loved the two tier dock. Beds were comfortable and the large living room, dinning area, sitting room, and screened porch allowed plenty of room to spread out. Would stay again!!

The owner, Angela, and her lake home, were WONDERFUL!
I could not have asked for a kinder owner to work with during this trip. Angela's communications were timely and helpful. Her lake home was perfect for our family. It was updated, clean, and the lake views are gorgeous. We will stay here again if given the opportunity to return to Cullman, AL and Smith Lake. Don't look any further - book now! You'll be glad you did!

Wonderful Vacation Rental
Cozy in the Cove has become one of our all time favorite family vacations! It was peaceful and quiet, and the location was perfect. The cabin is beautifully furnished and clean, with lots of room. We loved spending time on the screened porch, especially in the morning. The dock is a great spot for playing cards, fishing, or watching the boats at dusk. The firepit lights were the perfect touch, and really make the house look magical from the water. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful, and were able to answer any questions that we had. We are already looking forward to booking another stay!

Girls weekend
This property is true to the description. It was a cozy getaway for four retired teacher friends. We loved the decor and the house was very neat and clean. The beds were very comfortable. Our favorite spot was the screened in porch, especially since the weather turned out rainy for our weekend. We did get some sunshine the second day and were able to take advantage of the paddle board and kayaks available at the dock. We loved the table on the top deck. Wonderful lake house and great location on the lake for any water activities. Angela and her husband were easy to get in touch with and very helpful when we called with questions. We would definitely stay here again.
