Lake Cora is one of our main attractions -- it is a very clean 280 acre, spring fed, sand bottom lake with good fishing and depths of up to 90'.  The lake is recognized as one of the cleanest lakes in  Michigan. We have many rowboats, canoes,kayaks, and paddleboats available for your use at no charge. There is also free docking space if you bring your own boat. Rental Pontoon Boat availible at reasonable rate. Although not affiliated with the resort, Power boats and Waverunners / Jetskis are also available locally for private rental by the day or week.  Lake Cora provides for very refreshing swimming and sunning from the beach or the floating raft, but if you prefer, our heated in-ground pool is also available anytime for your enjoyment.

“…Beautifully clean, clear lake.  The sandy beach has plenty of tree-shaded spots for lazy reading, and several swing sets for the little ones.  The main lodge rooms are comfortable, and the cottages ideal for families.  Susan and her helpers prepare delicious meals with wonderful vegetable side dishes and a big salad bar.  The owners are full of ideas to help you enjoy yourself."  (Mike G.)

Our historic lodge and cottages are nestled in the woods on 16 acres overlooking beautiful, crystal-clear Lake Cora.  We serve 2 hearty meals per day, mostly buffet style with a plentiful salad bar. Kitchen facility units in all units. Our kitchen staff will surprise you with their tantalizing treats.  We incorporate the wonderful, fresh Michigan fruits and vegetables into our menu, and our many returning guests rave about our delicious food.

The dinner bell sits atop the original Oak Cove Resort ice house (shown in upper-left margin on this website), and it heralds the beginning times for meals so you can surely leave your clock and cares at home. It is not unusual to see a line of children waiting to help ring the bell.  All meals are served in the lodge dining room and on the porch with a panoramic view of the lake, beach, and pier below. The one exception is our Sunday night cookout where we let you be your own chef, though we prepare all the food and bring it down to the campfire

The Fun House features retro decor with a pool table, pinball machines, arcade games, a juke box, card tables, a T.V. / VCR (for those having a hard time breaking the habit), and a nice selection of movies to borrow. There is plenty of seating for friendly gatherings and conversation.  You are your own bartender at the bar, and there is a refrigerator and microwave oven for your use.  Filled with old games and new VCR movies, this common area is a nice place for meeting other guests.  Adaromdac chairs and swings just outside overlook the lake below.  There are is also a small library where you may borrow a book and mail it back when you’re finished with it.

There's lots to do in the neighborhood, such as hiking our wooded trails, riding bicycles (provided), weekend flea marketing, antiquing, fruit picking, winery tours and wine tasting, etc.  We offer Free Golf daily at Lake Cora Hills GC, only 3 short minutes away!  You may also enjoy our property for volleyball, badminton, shuffleboard, horseshoes, fishing, swimming or sunning by the beach or pool.

You may also walk our fitness trails, or just sit on a swing, read a book and take in the summer breezes and views of Lake Cora.  Whatever mood strikes you, we have something for you!
