People ask both Bob and
me all
the time,
"What is it like to run a small
summer
resort, and how do
you manage
all
of the work it requires?" I can tell you that
after decades
of doing this, with all of the wonderful people we've met from all
over
the
United States and the world, watching families and friends come back
year after
year - their children growing up before us - we wouldn't have it any
other
way. This continues to be a labor of love, one that allows us to
serve
others and be a part of people's lives during what is truly a very
precious and
special time in the American experience - the family summer
vacation.
Here
are only a sample of the comments we frequently receive from our
guests
that
help keep us loving this place as much as they do!

Owner
and
Hostess
of
Oak
Cove
Resort
"This is the BEST place EVER!" (Zachary S., age 5)
Hi Susan and Bob - I had the best summer visiting Oak Cove. I
had a great
time
riding bikes, swimming, going on boat rides, and I faced my fear
because I
jumped
off the raft into deep water!. I had a great time and hope
to come back next year
. Love, your friend, Cassidy V. age 8 1/2
"...Just a note to say again what a wonderful time we had
during our
first visit to
Oak Cove, and to thank you both one more time for your
hospitality and generosity
of deed and spirit. We thoroughly
enjoyed our
stay, and have made numerous
recommendations to others to give Oak Cove
a
try." (Debra G.)
"We had a wonderful time at your resort. We have stayed
at other
family owned
resorts in Michigan,
but yours was by far the best. The Food was wonderful and
the
house was
beautiful. It was perfect for our large family. Thanks
again for a
relaxing week, we hope to see you next year!"
Fondly ~
Juanita,
Dan,
Tammy, Dave, Shawn & Blaine
"...Susan, your entrees were always fresh and delightful, and
Bob, I
always remember
your words, "Do you have enough food? Would you
like
some more?"..." (David B.)
"I am glad to be back to Oak Cove Resort. Last summer we
went to DisneyWorld,
and I wished I was here instead! I
missed fishing, playing with the new kids, and the
roast beef and
mashed
potatoes." (Luke M., age 10)
"I had more fun at Oak Cove than at Disney World" (Bobby K.)
"...And the food is better, and the price is too!" (Bobby's
Father)
"Bob and Susan - your card came in the mail yesterday, and as
we looked
at the front,
it brought a smile to our faces - the day I fell out of
the boat
and into the lake! What a
beautiful picture of your place - so
inviting,
so relaxing, so serene - I can almost smell
those wonderful aromas
coming from
the kitchen! (Jerrianne I.)
We want to say THANKS for your great hospitality. We
were there in
August and just
before we got married. We've enjoyed both times
and will
return soon. You two take
care & continue giving us folks
your best.
(Jerry & Barb K.)
Thanks, Susan and Bob, for all you did to help make our
anniversary so
memorable!
Your idea of the 50's in Baggies was
fantastic.
Thanks, too, for your Treasure Trove
(I'm reading it with interest!)
and the
delicious cake. Your staffers were great! Here's
wishing
you all
the best in the seasons to come. (Verna and Roy B.)
Just a short note filled with thanks for a wonderful
time. The food
was wonderful and
the service was second to none. Thanks you so
very much
for making our week so
memorable. The kids couldn't wait to get
home and
tell all their stories. It was such
a relaxing time and thank you
for
being the wonderful people that you are. I do think
that if you
are going
to offer such wonderful rich food there should be a treadmill
somewhere
on
site!!!!!!! (Mary & Jim G.)
I didn't have a chance to come say goodbye and thank you
before we left
yesterday!
In spite of everything, we had a great time at Oak
Cove and
will have lots of wonderful
memories to treasure in years to
come. I
don't know if you heard about it, but the kids
even made up and "Oak
Cove
Cheer", which named some of their favorite features of
the Oak Cove,
including the pool frogs and horse flies! Thanks, especially, for
your
concern about Mom and for your flexibility with us at mealtimes.
We all agreed
that if
something like Mom's event had to occur, we couldn't have been
in a
much better place
or with nicer people. Thanks so much.
Hope the
rest of your summer goes well and that
the heat doesn't last too long!
(Jenni and Kirk D.)
I just wanted to write so I could thank you for such a
wonderful time.
The kids, Bob and
I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was so nice
not to
have to cook, but we all ate way
too much. The pool and the beach
were
beautiful and my kids are in love with the
shuffleboard. They are
already
asking me when we can go back. (Joan R.)
Enjoyed your web page as you know there are many resorts I
could have
chosen.
You and your staff looked so friendly, and the grounds so
nice we
just had to choose
your resort! Look forward to my visit. (Dave
M.)
"I wasn't sure what to expect, but because it was different
than what
we usually do,
I thought I might be bored. I was wrong! There was
loads
to do, and we all had
a great time."(Ian C., age 11 - from
england)
“I’ve traveled all over the world, and I can truly say that
Oak Cove Resort
offers
one of the most welcoming and relaxing atmospheres that I’ve
found. The food is
consistently good, and best of all, there are
no
dishes to do afterwards! My wife
and I love to just enjoy the
lake and
quiet natural settings by sitting on a swing
and reading. I can
also let
my kids run without worry, knowing they are busy
exploring the beach
and trails
and enjoying the property. They keep busy all
day long swimming,
looking
for frogs and turtles, or playing games or pool
and listening to the
juke box
in the Fun House. Oak Cove provides for a
really refreshing time
for my
family - We can all actually relax for a week,
instead of feeling like
we need
another vacation when we return home...”
(Steven P.)
"Bob & Susan, thank you so much for helping make our 3rd
family
reunion
a success. Everyone was pleased with Oak Cove Resort and
had a
great
time. You were very gracious hosts, met all of our needs, fed us
outstanding food, and really impressed us with your ability to remember
everyone's names! I won't hesitate to recommend Oak Cove to
anyone
looking for a beautiful and relaxing get-away." (Jeani B.)
"We created some beautiful memories at your summer
resort....Bob and
Susan, thank you for your hospitality and genuine concern for our
well
being
. We felt very special." (Joan O.)
"Susan and Bob are like family after 17 years of vacationing
at Oak
Cove.
They suggest places to see, unique shops, and activities for
children if
the
weather is cool or rainy. Our grown children now come with
spouses
and
friends. The food continues to be a big draw, with a variety of
fresh fruits
and vegetables. Susan packs a lunch if needed. Every year we
return to
find
improvements have been made." (Joan B.)
"The Lake House was a perfect fit
for our family, with plenty of room,
great views of the lake, and
air-conditioning. Ample paddleboats,
canoes, rowboats, and more for our
use. The kids enjoy going back
and forth between the pool and
lake, and a
selection of bikes are available
for riding." (Deborah J.)
"...An old-fashioned family resort, perched by the beach of beautiful
Lake
Cora,
with all possible equipment provided to enjoy both land and lake."
(Janet
R.)
"Susan and Bob are always ready to answer questions, recommend
local
points of interest, and lend a hand. Our lodge room was kept cool
with
fans;
the shared baths are kept clean, and plumbing and other minor
problems
quickly
repaired. Children can enjoy the"Fun House" without
disturbing
adults." (Janet F)
"The lodge rooms are decorated with antiques; the air is
fresh; and
meals
are served on a glassed/screened-in porch overlooking the
lake." (Betsy R.)
"Bob & Susan....Thanks for the
setting to a GREAT FAMILY
REUNION!"
