I'd really consider this a hidden gem in the Lake Wylie area. I searched high and low online for places near water where I could celebrate my birthday. When I came across Long Cove, I'll admit I was weary because of the reviews. Well, no other places were available except for Long Cove, so I booked anyway and now I'm hooked! A couple days before my reservation I went to check out the grounds, and Don was very kind in giving us a tour of the property and our actual cabin. Then the day of the rental check in was smooth as everything was already set. My kids set up their inflatable raft and took it out on the beach/lake and had a blast. We had cabin #14 so it was nestled right where the trail is for the beach access, and easy to see what the kids were doing. This particular cabin has 2 porches. One has rocking chairs and long bench seating, and the other porch is large and has a large table for outdoor dining as well. I did bring an additional table to set up food for my guests. Around sunset we walked out to the dock's side where we were able to get great sunset lake views while gathering for my happy birthday cake. Don was extremely helpful in getting us everything we needed for roasting s'mores at the fire pit that night. Too much more to rave about, but this place exceeded my expectations and we definitely plan to return. Having my birthday celebration here was and amazing blessing and extremely worth it, especially with having given my life to Jesus the week prior, and being able to be on the lake. I can't wait to see the plans in store for Long Cove, even though it's great for what it is right now. Thank you soooo much Don and the rest of staff, y'all are appreciated!

I came to the Fuego festival event in the summer here. It's a nice spot! They have chairs with built-in drink cups facing the lake. They have a mini gazebo and two chairs inside. We also have picnic tables and grills. There's also a beach area. If you're looking for a little bit of R&R, this is a place in the area to drive to to get that. Just be mindful that the resort is at the very end. As soon as you drive onto Rainbarrel road, there's a ways to go just keep driving straight until you reach the parking spaces.

We absolutely love this place! Cabins are very quaint and clean with lots of room to spread out, considering this is a tiny home amenity! Internet was great considering the remote location... We watched a few Netflix movies during our stay, once it loaded (3-4 minutes) it worked perfectly. We will definitely come back for a longer visit!

Long Cove Resort is a glamping community located on an old campground that has been converted to a great space that includes a very nice pool, super cute bathhouse, new community cookout patio, beach area and 15+ glampers. There is also a marina on site that rents boats (15% discount). The glamper we stayed in was new and a perfect layout. The master room had a comfortable mattress. The mattresses in the bunk beds and fouton weren't great. The bathroom linens were thick. The sheets were standard. The decor was super cute and comfortable. The upstairs loft was perfect for the whole group to play cards in. I suggest bringing extra plastic silverware and plates just to be safe. Air conditioner worked perfectly....we were very comfortable. I would absolutely recommend staying in the glampers at Long Cove Resort. There are a few different sizes so be sure to check the listing details to get the best one for your group. They will soon start renting 2br glampers. Also note the resort is close to restaurants, grocery stores, shopping outlets and also the Whitewater Center!

A really beautiful area with close by hikes, a private beach and beautiful lake to swim and canoe and other water activities. Cabins were super clean plenty spacious and the loft upstairs is a gem. Highly recommended!

Can you bring your dog?

Unfortunately we do not allow pets in the cabins. As a company we have a commitment to our guests to provide hypoallergenic accommodations. Thanks for your understanding.

How far from Matthews NC?

I believe they are about 30 mins from Matthews.

What is the rent?

It varies, they have a few different tiny home cabin layouts. We love Cabin 16 and Cabin 26 but they are all amazing. The prices are listed on their website. https://thecovecabins.guestybookings.com/

Do people live here? Or is it rental only?. Thanks Judy

The tiny house cabins are rented.

Ballantyne

I cannot say enough good things about The Ballantyne!…read more The property itself is absolutely beautiful, with plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to relax, unwind, and enjoy the surroundings. The staff was consistently friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout my stay. They were quick to assist with any questions or requests, which made the experience even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was the Gallery Restaurant. The breakfast served there each morning was phenomenal! The outdoor pool was also a highlight as it was relaxing, comfortable, and very well maintained. The service staff frequently checked in with guests, ensuring everyone had what they needed without being intrusive. My only real criticism is the parking fee. The hotel charges $20 per night for parking, which feels unnecessary given the already high nightly room rates. I believe parking should be included as part of the stay, especially at a property of this caliber. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would gladly return.

Not planning on returning unless for tea or brunch at gallery. I've now stayed here twice within 10 months. Both times I've found the staff quite kind and helpful. The rooms clean and as depicted. Hotel and grounds very well maintained. Love the walkability to restaurants and bars. Room Beds are not up to a luxury hotel standards. I found both beds to be a springy mattress with a worn out pillow top. Quite literally a pain on the back. Bedding is Frette and quite soft and cozy. Bathroom has Molton Brown products. Super bougie brand so I think that is on par with the hotel being luxury. I bring my own shampoo and conditioner because of my 3A curly hair doesn't get along with the shampoo and conditioner. Both the water pressure and hot levels are exceptional. I was not lacking warm water and did actually turn it a bit cooler than my usual setting at home. So I've a bit of a bone to pick on the minibar. There is a listed price for all the items. Great! Was a bit surprised on the bill to find the $3 can of soda and $18 container of dark sea salt chocolates to be listed as $3.99 and $22.41. That's more than the sales tax in Mecklenburg. Upon reading the fine print on the minibar there is a 24% service fee on top of the 8.25% sales tax. Given that the minibar is stocked and no one is running this items to the room like room service, I'm a bit confused on the service charge as anything but a small additional little money grab. Little sneaky and tacky vibes about it. Gallery restaurant I have written a separate 5 star review and very much so like the restaurant. Afternoon tea Afternoon tea I absolutely love and greatly enjoy. Lovely tea and tiered plate selections. This is a must for me, absolutely love it. I've attended with my partner as well as solo. Solo I sat and read a book it was great! Even if traveling solo still a lovely nice experience! Parking I think the price of parking has changed. It is now $20 to self park and $30 to valet. This is all clear on the app and website before booking. Spouse was understandably less than thrilled when he walked out to the car with all our luggage, loaded the car and began to drive to the hotel to pick me up only to be locked into the parking lot. The room key card that opens this parking was deactivated apparently at check out time. Well no one wants to be schlepping around in muggy hot weather at noon to come back to the hotel and find out why it isn't working. He had to have the card reactivated, then walk back to the car, then bring the car up. Waste of time and irritation. Hotel common space I found all common and public spaces clean and tidy. Both elevators have been working, in good service and clean. There is a complimentary coffee and tea station in the bar space in the morning. They also have some grab and go items for purchase. I made tea and drank it on the veranda. None of the grab and go items spoke to me so I went to the gallery restaurant. Spa I've been to the spa last trip and enjoyed my facial and massage. Mani pedi was ok... women's spa space has a sauna and steam room. A quiet waiting area with teas and water. Showers, restrooms and a locker space. Indoor pool Love that they have an indoor and outdoor pool. Super easy for me to get burned so I use the indoor ones. The interior space is quite lovely at the interior pool. A few notes of items needing attention. The rectangular hot tub has quite a thick layer of scrum on the tiles above the water level. Requested additional pillows when checking in ahead of time on the app. Those were not in the room and I had to request them. If you want a tea kettle in room you've to request that and tea. Wish it was easier in app or pre check in to do. I am not sure that we will be back anytime soon as I don't find their beds comfy and relaxing. Hotel, amenities, afternoon tea and brunch overall I like. I wish they would join other properties that had a memory foam type bed with a more firm supportive with slats. Rather than springy mattress on a box spring.

4 1/2 stars! We stayed for one night in June (myself, husband, and 5 y/o daughter) just for fun…read more None of us had ever been to a GWL. Right off the bat, I will state that my biggest annoyance was having to pay for parking. It's absurd; if you're already paying for the room, parking should be included. Otherwise, we had a great time. The room was way bigger than the average hotel room of the same amenities. It was clean and comfortable. Loved the convenience of the wristband for getting into the room and also paying (almost) everywhere on site. Dinner at the Lodge Wood Fired Grill was delicious, and our daughter loved being able to look out into the water park from there. Breakfast buffet at Loose Moose was a bit overpriced, but honestly delicious so it was whatever. Prices at restaurants honestly seem "fair", in terms of it being like an amusement park level place. I loved that you could pretty much go wherever you wanted with whatever food/drink you wanted. Some places can be nit-picky about those things, so this was refreshing. Overall, we will definitely return!

Spent a night here after my daughter asked for us to spend a night here…read more This location is located near a mall and has plenty of parking but a lot of the parking is not near the rooms so you may end up hoofing jt across the parking lot to a door so you can get it to your room. Also, there are elevators at the center and wings of the resort, so if you room is not near one of these area, you are hoofing it with your luggage. One of the biggest perks is you can come before check in time and take your family directly to the water park while you wait for your room to be ready. They provide a changing room and lockers in case you need them. However, if you use Apple Pay the self check in kiosk will not recognize your credit card you use so you have to go to the front desk. The water park has several rides, a wave pool, and indoor pool with water games and an outdoor pool. There is ample seating but it is very humid in the water park bc of all the water circulating. You cannot consume outside food in the water park but you can in your room. So we spent all afternoon at the water park until it closed and then I ran out and picked up some food. Our room (kid cabin suite) was well apportioned and the lodge understands how to help families with water sports. They provide shampoo, soap, lotion and a clothes line. Also, a lot of stuff they advertise costs extra (mini golf, adventure quest, etc) but if you have little kids paying for a late check out may be helpful bc you can go to the water park starting at 0900. Fun family trip but be ready to spend some money.

I had one of the worst travel experiences of my life with the Canopy by Hilton Charlotte Southpark,…read moreand what made it truly unacceptable was the behavior of the staff. I had a confirmed reservation, completed check in earlier in the day through the Hilton Honors app (I am a Hilton gold member), and even selected my room in advance. By the time I arrived at 1130 pm, exhausted and emotionally drained, I had every reason to believe my room was secured. Instead, I was told the hotel was oversold and had no rooms available. What happened next was beyond disappointing. The front desk attendant was incredibly cold, dismissive, and outright rude. He claimed a manager had called me to notify me of the issue, which was simply not true. When I asked what I was supposed to do, I was told, in a tone that made it clear he did not care, that it was not his problem. There was no attempt to help, no effort to find alternative accommodations, and no sense of urgency despite the late hour and the fact that the city was fully booked. Instead he watched as my sister and I sobbed and panicked in the lobby for an hour without so much as a sorry. I was left stranded in the middle of the night with nowhere to go. Every hotel in the area was sold out. We ended up sleeping in my car. To make matters worse, I was in town because my father had just passed away. This was not a routine trip. In a moment where even basic human empathy would have gone a long way, I was met with indifference, coldness, and irritation. Mistakes happen. But how a hotel handles it is what matters, and in this case, it was handled with a complete lack of professionalism, accountability, and basic human decency. If you are considering staying here, understand that even with a confirmed reservation, advance check in, and a room selected, you may still not have a room when you arrive--and if something goes wrong, you should not expect help from the staff or the manager. Completely unacceptable experience with despicable staff, especially for the Hilton brand.

Staff is a 12 out of 10. Valet super nice and helpful, check in and front desk staff always efficient and a delight to deal with same for housekeepers or any other staff we met along the way. This is the only hotel I have stayed at in the States that I think their bathroom is about comparable to ours at home. There is a separate space for the commode which offers some nice privacy if 2 are sharing the room. Housekeepers were adorable they placed out toiletries on emerald green cloths on the counter I truly believe the prettiest place in Charlotte to see the sun rise is at the indoor pool and spa area. It is gorgeous. Love that the pool area is more spa pool vibes with spa music. Hot tub is turned on by a button panel on the wall. Inside the hot tub there is a place to turn up or down the intensity of the jets. The hot tub has pretty colors in it from the underwater lighting. There is a great array of seating without feeling crowded. Meticulously cleaned. Like any time of day the indoor pool space was clean. I do like what they use instead of chlorine it was more gentle on my hair and skin. TV is a bit below average. Streaming speed is pretty slow. Limited on which streaming services that can be accessed. Additionally, the volume jumps a lot like the tv can be unable to be heard you turn the volume up and it is good. Then a second later it is super loud. Spouse said most modern tvs have an auto feature that manages this. But this is on Marriott and not the hotel as with some research it showed this is a pretty common issue most folks have about the tvs. We are buying a Roku stick to try and use in the future to access other streaming services we pay for at home. The beds are better than other hotels in the Marriott family but spouse and I still find them a bit uncomfortable. I would like to have them a more memory foam material than the spring with pillow top. Wardrobe was awesome it is a nice size. Lights up when the doors are opened and has a pretty floral scape along the back of it. I was able to keep my carry on sized suitcase in there. Spouse was able to hand my dress and his sports coat and pants for event we were going to. Room had plenty of counter space in the room and bathroom. This was great. Oddly there seemed to be drums that started playing outside at like 9am on Saturday that woke us both up. There was a wedding going on that weekend and I know they had some breakfasts not sure if there was maybe a morning ceremony too? Noise didn't last super long but woke us both up. The windows you can hear a fair amount of noise through from the street. Ordered room service I think 3 times. Very excellent experience each and every time. Each item was cooked perfectly and things like grilled chicken breast were still juicy and not overcooked. My K Lounge review will be separate from hotel but same 5/5. We enjoyed our stay. Staff and overall care of the hotel cleanliness wise made it even better.

Unfortunately, that excitement slowly faded as the day went on. When we arrived, there was no one at the front desk. We waited about 5-10 minutes before anyone checked us in. I mentioned it was our first visit so we opted for a full tour, but the welcome felt rushed and incomplete. We also noticed other guests being offered drinks upon arrival nothing was offered to us. We headed to the Aqua Lounge to relax and decided to order food. There was no staff in sight, so I eventually walked downstairs to place the order myself. The food was underwhelming, and it took 40 minutes for a turkey BLT, no napkins, it was an overall poor experience. We wanted to enjoy the hot tub but the jets were broken. You'd think everything would be fully functional in a hotel/spa of this caliber. I don't mind paying an automatic service charge when service is actually provided, but that wasn't the case here. I find that staff is less likely to care when the gratuity is automatic, which held true at this spa. The spa itself is beautiful, serene, and well designed. Our technicians, Renata and Kieyan, were professional, warm, and truly the highlight of the entire visit. If I were rating solely based on them, it would be a full five stars. If you're only looking for a great massage, I'd recommend this spa. If you're seeking a full luxury spa experience, go elsewhere.
