My kids recommended Long Cove Resort due to its location in proximity to them and our plans. We found it online and based on the information provided, decided to try it for 5 nights. We were not there during the day so the small beach area was not used.
The view from our unit was decent, if you went outside in the back of the cabin. The views are much better while walking around the facility.
This would have been a prime spot to stay years ago. But everything is old now and needs much work to bring it up to the standard of a resort, which is used in the name.
The pool has been unused for ages and is drained.
Service issues- the cabin TV was not even hooked up and the set was broken. I went to the office early in our stay and explained it was not attended to. .
Wifi is provided but it is spotty, slow, and unsecured.
No daily cleaning of rooms and trash removal is on you.
The pics showed a stove in the studio, but did not have one on our unit.
Rain causes some of the units to have pooling and mud to deal with. Our seemed to be the worst.
The access road to the Resort is in pitiful shape, rough to say the least, with ruts and bumps along its entire length.
Most of these things could be remedied easily but our guess is the current owners do not want to put anything into it.
So, check it out to see if it would meet your needs and expectations.

Spent a weekend here and it was lovely. Room was super quaint and clean. The beach is great to lounge or swim at, and we also spent some time enjoying the vista from the chairs on the hill. We loved chatting with Colleen, a local and regular who gave great dinner recommendations! There’s a candy truck on premises that isn’t open for business yet, but I’m sure once it is it will be a delight!

My family recently had our 30th annual family reunion at Long Cove Resort and Marina, and it was hands down the best one yet. We had about 100 people in attendance, and everyone agreed that we will be coming back next year! The staff was incredibly accommodating and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. The cabins were spotless and cozy, making us feel right at home. One of the highlights was the movie night, which was perfectly prompt and set against a scenic Lake Wylie—an unforgettable experience for all ages. We’ve had reunions at various locations over the years, but nothing compares to the exceptional hospitality and beautiful surroundings at Long Cove. Highly recommend this place for any gathering or getaway!

Amazing experience! Rented this beautiful houseboat to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday and I am so glad I found this place! Watching the sunset from the adorable little covered patio, being rocked to sleep by gentle waves, and having my morning coffee with lake views of sunshine through every window. Easy to find, friendly staff, a private oasis. Homey lake decor with fireplace, air conditioning,shower, and coffee maker. My fisherman husband also caught 3 fish! A must try for anyone looking to be in nature but not wanting to rent it. Thank you Long Cove!!!!

Outstanding is the correct word to use when talking about Long Cove. We had a family reunion. We watched a movie by the water, ate great food by the water under a very comfortable tent. Everyone's room was nice. The place was clean. We had a small issue, and they fixed it within 20 minutes after I called them. If anything was negative about the trip, I would say the road to the location. The road was rough. Many of them drove a nice car. We are going to plan the reunion next year at the Long Cove. I am going to drive my truck. Again, it was a great time, beautiful place, and professional service. Reasonably priced.

Cozy spot on the lake but the air conditioner units froze up and we were uncomfortable during a cloudy, rainy weekend. We came in to visit family for the weekend so this was only a place to lay our head, so couldn’t imagine an extended stay in the summer.

My husband and I celebrated our 50th Wedding anniversary on June 22nd. We had 32 family members who rented and stayed at the resort. It was perfect for our group. The tiny cabins were new and very clean. Dan the new manager onsite was very accommodating and great to work with from the day I reserved the rooms until the day everyone checked out. Dan went way out of his way to make sure our family had everything they needed. Beautiful views, of the lake, great location on the lake with shops and restaurants close by, kid friendly, great patio deck for our Friday night party, kayak rentals, and marina for our boats.
Rooms: Rooms were very clean, and fairly new. Some units have beautiful porches, beautiful decks with great lake views. Great setup for a large groups. Units are all close by and convenient.
Nearby activities: Great location for boating and fishing off the marina . We had a family who rented a beautiful home near the resort for our gatherings located in a beautiful cove with only a five minute boat ride across the lake. Papa Docs restaurant across the lake from the resort with a marina to dock your boat while you eat or want carry out. Kayaks, canoes, and boat rentals are available at the resort to rent.
Noteworthy details: The resort had a beautiful large deck with picnic tables and tents with lights for our Friday night celebration with view of the lake that accommodated over 50 family and friends counting kids. Lots of green space for the kids to play and hammock and swings. They also have beautiful area with a fire pit near the lake. This resort sits in a beautiful cove with a marina.

Great location and accommodations. Got the 2 room house that had plenty of space for 4. So much to do in area we didn't turn T.V. on in 4 days. Love the beach and clean sand / water.

Beautiful place, great scenery, very secluded, was a great get away. The only issue I have was the twin beds are basically prison cots, not a mattress. We each rotated the bed on not one of us could sleep on it thru the night. Felt like I was on concrete. Other than that, everything else was great

We had an amazing stay here! I saw lots of reviews complaining about the road to enter but there's many other houses along this road and I don't really think it's their road to just fix.. this property was beautiful, our cabins were very clean, the staff was wonderful! I had forgotten something in my room and it got thrown away but when I went the next day the amazing cleaning staff helped me recover my item. They got into the dumpster for me and found what I had left behind. Exceptional customer service. Whenever I called, even after hours, I always got a call back right away. Will definitely be staying here again and I 100% recommend this place for anyone looking for a little getaway!

Great cabins, location, & private beach. Road in is pretty sketchy though, especially for the amount of traffic it gets.

Rented the houseboat, worst experience ever on a vacation. The air conditioner would not cool the living room dining room below 83 degrees and it was never fixed after complaining numerous times to the front office. The bedroom had a leak of some sort and got our clothes wet. The bathroom holding tank was full and caused a notorious odor. The front office staff was very rude and not willing to help us at all with any of the issues. We actually left two days early because they would not address any of the issues we was having. Also they also thought it would be a good idea to tow are rental car because they couldn't see the parking pass that had fallen off and it cost us an additional 550 dollars to get it out of impound. I would not recommend wasting my time with this place. They completely ruined my family vacation.

I was there for 2 nights, the air conditioning didn't work, the first night it was super hot inside, I talked to a person but they didn't help me, the second night it was the same, they didn't solve the problem.
