Bob Cove Inn
Overall the house, property, amenities and location are amazing! Having to go to an office to pick up keys is outdated and inconvenient. Number locks are the best. It would have been nice if the outdoor furniture had been wiped off from all the pollen. The linen company showed up to gather the linens an hour before our checkout, which was not appreciated. Just kindly suggestions for the amount of costs and fees charged.

Relaxing and Beautiful
Our family stayed at Bob Inn Cove for my Master's Degree ceremony at Liberty University. The house was big and roomy enough for all six of us and we loved the layout. The back porch was very peaceful and we spent many hours playing games and visiting there.

You get what you see
The property was nice, not too steep of a walk to the lake, beautiful views from both inside the house and sitting on the porches. We did not get to take advantage of the lake because is was colder than expected in May and it rained the entire time we were there, but the views made up a little for it. The house layout was wonderful except the steep stairs into the lower level. Highlights were the hot tub and video game machine aside from the lake. We would stay again, if we were ever in the area,.

Lovely weekend
Beautiful house (one of the best we've stayed in - and we've stayed in a lot!) - well laid out with a very nice kitchen and great spaces for hanging out together. Neighbors are a little close (we could watch each other eat on the back decks), but the location was fabulous and the house was perfect for us (4 adult women).

They thought of everything!
Very pet friendly, always a huge plus in my book! So many games and things to do, they really put so much thought into providing a fun place to stay. Deck is beautiful with perfect view of lake. Had coffee there every morning. Really close to town but also far away enough for peace.
Happy with our stay would come here again.
Thank you!!

Fantastic Family Fun
Our family of 4 , ranging in age from 20 to 51, had a wonderful time. The house had plenty of options for us to enjoy. It was comfortable, relaxing, and well equipped . We would definitely return to this location in the future.
