We were able to spend a night out at kayakers Cove and were blown away by the beauty and serenity. RaeLynn and Mike have created an amazing experience to get away from it all and enjoy people from all over the world. The hiking and kayaking was a perfect balance of Adventure with the day ending in the coolest sauna. We highly recommend staying at kayakers Cove and plan on returning!

We brought two guests here and showed them the time of their lives! Lots of little things make this place special. Being able to rent kayaks there is super convenient. It is so great to have a kitchen with dishes, stoves and running water. And the dry sauna is fantastic after a long day kayaking!
