First time at Sunshine Cove Resort and I wasn't disappointed! The accommodation was exceptional and the view was breathtaking! The best asset was the staff (Debbie, Carl and Zach), simply perfect. They were super friendly and always available. I can't wait to go back next year. Sunshine Cove Resort is the ideal vacation spot! 🌞😊

Sunshine Cove Resort is absolutely magnificent. Every cottage offers an unobstructed view of the lake and is impeccably clean and well maintained. The owners are warm, welcoming, and always attentive. You'll find plenty of water toys, a sandy beach for the kids, and at least three sets of stairs down to the lake that make launching very easy. The benches on the dock, equipped with cup holders, are a real bonus. We loved spending quality family time, both indoors and outdoors, and creating unforgettable memories. Watching the sunrise and sunset over the lake was simply breathtaking. We're already looking forward to returning every year.

We have been coming to Sunshine Cove for four years. It's an ideal place to spend summer weekends with family or friends, and the kids can play in complete safety. The lake view is magnificent. The cottage has a dock and a boat launch for your watercraft, and boat rentals are available. The cottages are clean, well-equipped, and the Wi-Fi connection is excellent. We highly recommend going there.

My family and I come to Sunshine Cove Cottage Resort on Rice Lake every year, and it has become our favorite vacation spot. From the moment we arrive, we are welcomed like family. The cottages are charming, clean, and perfectly set up for relaxing and having fun. The view of the lake is breathtaking: whether sipping your morning coffee on the deck or watching the sunset with a drink in hand, it is simply magical. But what really sets Sunshine Cove apart is its exceptional owners. They put their whole heart into every detail, and it shows. They are always friendly, welcoming, and ready to help. We also love their son Zack: he is the soul of the place, full of energy, always smiling, and wonderful with the kids. The whole family looks forward to seeing him again every year. Between fishing, kayaking, campfires, and pleasant evenings under the stars, this resort has everything to create unforgettable memories. It is our haven of peace, and we are so happy to return every year. We cannot recommend Sunshine Cove enough — it is a true piece of paradise on Rice Lake!
