Lodge at Turkey Cove

Great stay!

Great stopover stay traveling through Texas. Nice and friendly staff. Clean and comfortable. Beautiful country.

The owner and his Dad are very welcoming and friendly. I love supporting good people. We really enjoyed the view and layout. Plenty of places to sit and take in nature. The room was clean, cold, and the beds were very comfortable, including the soft linens. We hope to stay here again and again.

The location can't be beat. Boat ramp and lake are super close. The lodge itself left somewhat to be desired. 1 small window unit for A/C down a small hall in an alcove toward back of room away from the sleeping area. A ceiling fan over the bed helps cool the area. No way to blow air toward the bathroom which was quite stuffy. If you close the door on toilet for privacy, be prepared to sweat it out. A/C is only on when room is booked. So don't book last minute or room will be hot. TV service was nonfunctional on arrival. Found HDMI cable disconnected from cable box. Reconnected it to restore service. Even so, the TV service was spotty with channels going in and out. TV remote could change channels but not the volume. Had to get up to adjust volume if a channel was too loud or too quiet. WiFi, although free, did not reach our room. Likely there is a central access point with no range extenders or connections in the building we stayed in. Flooring looked new and was clean. No signs of pests. Bed was reasonably comfortable and seemed clean. Door to unit is street-facing. Bolt lock on door was difficult to lock from the inside and impossible with the key from the outside. Key to unit only worked on door handle lock. Even tested on bolt lock with door open and key would not turn. Any items left in room while we were out felt unsecured. Overall, it was better than sleeping outside. But if you're used to quality amenities and comforts, you may want to look elsewhere.

Huge shoutout to the Lodge at Turkey Cove proprietors for their excellent customer service. We were staying at friends' vacation house while our Canyon Lake home was undergoing renovations. We needed to find a place to go in April 2024 for the solar eclipse weekend, as our friends and their grown kids needed their house. I was worried about finding a place for us since I knew everything in the area was filling up quickly, and we needed a place where we could bring two dogs. Turkey Cove had one cottage left and it happened to be the one that allows pets. The staff was wonderful helping me secure that reservation. I later needed to make a change to that reservation and they were awesome accommodating my changes. The location is excellent, and like most places around Canyon Lake, the lodge staff are friendly and very helpful. I'll recommend The Lodge at Turkey Cove to anyone visiting Canyon Lake.

Beautiful site on Canyon Lake, great water, gorgeous sunrise
