The property was very quiet and cozy, great amenities. The property was very clean. My husband wishes the fishing opportunities were better. But other than that we enjoyed our stay.

This was a great place right on lake Wylie. The room was clean and well kept, but did not have a lake view. There was even a band on the beach on Saturday night.

We had a wonderful time at the resort. Nice view of the lake and comfortable lounge chairs on the private beach. The "Tiny" house was neat and much better than staying in a room at a hotel. We plan on returning at a later date.

10/10 recommend - soooo peaceful
We arrived super late the first night but we awoke to a GORGEOUS view the next morning. It was quiet, peaceful and a sense of calmness when opening our door to the peaceful serenity of the lake. You could hear nature all around. Our cabin was clean and in tip top condition when we arrived as well. 10/10 recommend!!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I'm glad to hear that you found our property awesome. However, I truly apologize for the unfortunate power outage and the impact it had on your trip.I completely understand your frustration, and I want to assure you that the power outage at 9:45 PM was beyond our control and completely unscheduled. We were also made aware of the situation by another guest, and we confirmed that it affected the entire residential area, as indicated in the communication from Duke Energy.We made sure to make efforts to address the situation promptly. We took the initiative to contact and email all guests who were checked in on that day to keep everyone informed about the lack of energy and water. Additionally, we provided water bottles to each guest to help alleviate any inconvenience while waiting for the power to be restored.I understand that this experience was less than ideal, and I'm truly sorry for the disruption it caused during your stay. While we do our best to maintain a comfortable and enjoyable environment for our guests, unfortunately, we cannot predict or prevent such unforeseen incidents.Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience this power outage may have caused, and I hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future under more favorable circumstances.

Overall this was a nice spot. It was good for a single day staycation. I must say that the taxes/fees were nearly as much as the nightly rate, but what can you do. Aside from that, I had 4 issues; 1 kind of major. We had 2 vehicles, and we were charged for 1 car, the pool is under renovation, so good luck with that, there were bottles scattered in a couple places, but it was a Friday night, so I get it. The major issue I had was the sewage smell emanating from our tub/bathroom. I believe this could've been an issue with the trap, so I reported it, but the office didn't seem too excited or motivated to look into the matter. The smell was very noticeable, but only after the water was running... hopefully I wasn't washing in gray water. 😬

Dear Benjami, thank you for choosing Long Cove Resort and Marina. We appreciate your feedback and would like to address your concerns.Regarding the issues you experienced, we would like to clarify a few things. We give one parking pass per reservation, we allow two cars per cabin and the additional parking pass has a cost of 10 dollars.As for the pool, yes it is under renovation that is why is it not being advertised as part of our amenities. We have an equally fantastic alternative - our beautiful beach! In regards to the scattered bottles, we apologize for any littering that occurred. We do our best to maintain cleanliness on our premises, but sometimes, especially on busy Friday nights, it can be challenging to keep up. We appreciate your understanding.Regarding the sewage smell emanating from your bathroom, we take these matters seriously and promptly addressed your report. Our maintenance team checked the tub and bathroom on the same day and found no issues or foul odors. Additionally, our housekeeping team also checked the cabin during cleaning and did not encounter any problems. It is important to note that another set of guests stayed in the same cabin without any complaints and even extended their stay. Upon checking out, they reported having enjoyed their time with us.We apologize for any discomfort caused by the smell, but we assure you that our team thoroughly investigated and found no evidence of a problem.We value your feedback and will use it to improve our services. Thank you again for your review, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

Absolutely not worth it.
I decided to take my kids to a lake trip 1 hour away from my house on a whim. I got there at 3pm and told the front desk of the deal I saw on hotels.com. They couldn't honor the same price in the office, so I booked it online and came back in with a confirmation. She said she didn't see the payment come through so charged me again. She said she'd refund it if there were 2 charges. Traveling with 2 kids, I did agree to this because I didn't want to drive all the way back home. As soon as I entered the "private beach" There were unattended kids (about 10) shouting profanity and throwing bottles everywhere. I went to the office that was supposed to b open til 6 and it was 520, but no one was there to discuss issues with the kids or the double charge I saw go through. I went back to my house and their were cop cars and later that evening no running water or wifi. I left at 6 am in the morning and complained to hotels.com and the resort. They refunded my extra charge but not for the stay. Any company would refund or even notify of a water outage but this was not met with that response. Apparently my issues happen quite often and to several others, and they rip people off by selling something they do not offer as well as being rude in the process of being confronted. Or, they don't respond at all. It was definitely a very sad and infuriating experience especially with 2 small kids in two. I know that hotels.com said its not refundable, but this is a bit over the line.

Hi Alisha, we want to first acknowledge the unpleasant experience you had with us. We understand that there were some misunderstandings, so allow us to provide you with clarifications.Regarding the booking, the deals we have on Hotels.com and Expedia are not available for walk-in guests. Additionally, you had made a reservation for Aug 28-29 on Hotels.com (through Expedia), but you wanted to check in on Aug 26-27. The payment might not have been reflected in our system because Hotels.com (through Expedia) activates the payment on the check-in date.Moving on to your concerns about the "private beach," we would like to clarify that our private beach is accessible to all resort and marina members, as well as registered guests staying in our tiny house cabins. As for the incident with unattended kids behaving inappropriately, we apologize for any inconvenience caused. Our office hours end at 5 p.m., but we have an after-hours customer service line that can be reached at +1 704-588-1467 for addressing such issues. And the police came for a problem with some guests for another cabin. We also want to address the issue of no running water or Wi-Fi during your stay. As we have been explaining to all our guests over the weekend, a power surge caused by a lightning bolt damaged the cable to our pump house around 10 p.m. on 8/26. Due to it being a Sunday night, we were unable to obtain the necessary parts for repairs, resulting in the water only being restored at 10 am the following morning. We understand that this lack of water was inconvenient, but please note that you still had full use of the cabin and facilities. To compensate for the inconvenience, we offered you a free night in the cabin of your choice between October 1st and December 30th. However, we understand that you did not accept this offer and instead opted for a 50 refund, which is currently being processed.We deeply apologize for any frustration or distress caused, especially considering you had your two small kids with you. Please know that addressing these issues and ensuring customer satisfaction is of utmost importance to us. We appreciate your feedback and would like to assure you that we are taking steps to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. Should you have any further concerns or require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Loved this cozy lakeside retreat! You definitely feel luke your "glamping" and it was so much fun! Watching the sunrise/sunset on the deck was my favorite part. I would recommend for a family reunion to rent out multiple cabins or a romantic getaway.
