Cottonwood Cove Resort & Marina

Had a blast, but the place is a bit run down. However, Ryan at the marina is the hardest working dockhand I’ve ever met! Worth every penny. Cafe hours are LIMITED and can force you back up to Searchlight for food. Boats are a bit worn, but no issue with either sun chaser OR the jet ski we rented. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful, just be prepared to WAIT until 4:00 check-in.

I had the most amazing experience at Cottonwood Cove! Starting with the ladies at the Store to Gabby's warm welcome in the office to the incredibly personable all-male team helping with the boat rentals, everything was just perfect. I've been visiting Cottonwood Cove since I was born but had never rented a boat until this trip, and wow, they truly have an exceptional staff! Their number one priority is your happiness, and it shines through in everything they do. A huge thank you to everyone for creating such an incredible day! You all deserve raises for the joy and enthusiasm you bring. I can’t wait to come back!

Our 70 foot houseboat was less than appealing and did not look like the pictures. On arrival, the wear and tear was quite obvious. Cleanliness was not their priority. Carpets were dirty and the rug odor in living room was between sour and rotten shrimp. Further inspection lead us to top deck where we found bar stools with stuffing falling out and cracked cushions for sitting on deck. |The real bummer came with generator issues all 5 days leaving us sweating in the desert heat. Marina called on several occasions with mechanics coming to our location on their timing but generator continued to fail us. The mechanics were kind and tried to help but the generator needed more than they could offer. Our vacation time was spent in chaos.||On return of the rental, we negotiated some compensation and some |refund of fuel but this doesn’t minimize time spent dealing with this major issue when we should have been relaxing

Our Memorial Day weekend is typically, Havasu or Searchlight. We love Alisha at the El Rey in town, and love heading down to the Cove! A short 11-mile drive down to Cottonwood Cove is a sight seeing drive in itself! This year we decided to rent a Boat. Since fishing was what we had in mind, we selected the Fishing Boat. Getting to the Marina...we were asked if we'd like to take one of the Bow Riders...same price...Heck Ya!...it has a Top!!!..we like shade! Going through the Sign in's with Greg who was awesome, payments, waivers etc...we're on the water! Actually...we were Up and Down on the water! The "Chop" was brutal! Not much fishing...the Wind ripped the top...very disappointed with Mother Nature and heading back was the best choice! Getting back to the Dock/Office, "Rex" was very understanding...without question, he refunded us our Rental Charge! Definitely "Rent" again...we'll just hope that Rex and Greg are still there...very Professional...great experience!

buncha dudes dressed up like romans with football gear told me i was a degenerate and expeditiously escorted me to cottonwood cove. the water was free of radiation and despite my circumstances, ive never been happier to drink the water they allowed me to have. some guy in sexy night wear came down the road with a military man and they shot my kidnappers dead then set me free. the water is good here. i think ill stick around

Cottonwood Cove… well it definitely seen better days, the upper campsites are complete deserted, and nobody has camp there for years. The pictures that are shown are not the same, the beach smells of dead fish and there’s trash EVERYWHERE. The trees and bushes look so sad. There is no camp host and the “Cop” is too busy and rude to have anything to say. The campsites that are useable are tucked into a cannon. No cell service, you have to walk to the overhang where the picnic tables are. Those aren’t well kept… I didn’t even want or attempt looking in the restroom either. For $20 a night would be fine if it looked nice BUT honestly it could be $5 a night. You would have better luck parking at a Walmart. The guy that owns it should stop being so money hungry and start updating the property Or sell it for that matter.

Scenery and location top notch. Staff was excellent. RV Grounds & dock gangway in disrepair.

Love the lake but the campground needs work. The sites are very narrow. Picnic tables etc are in terrible shape. Seems no work has been done since we were here 4 years ago. People are very nice though. Can't understand why there wasn't a ranger at pay station. Park doing so well they don't need entrance fees???

This is for the boat rental only. I have not stayed at the hotel. The rental process is easy and straightforward. Very nice and helpful staff, clean well kept boats. Easy loading and unloading. Prices are high in my opinion, but they are the only game in town unless you go all the way down to Kathrine's Landing which is stupidly priced.

Mark Anthony was so helpful! The cafe food was great! Park store has lots of stuff! Boat rental was super easy! Not many people there - it's a shame- such great access to the river!

Loved the culture of the resort and restaurant Cay , Ed and Store, many others made our few days enjoyable. took the boat to Katherine's landing not so friendly and relaxed. should get some skills from Cottonwood!!! Cottonwood we will see you again next month. several trips and no fish yet but beautiful and relaxing

Since we can't really launch right now on Mead (South Cove) near our house in AZ, Mojave and Cottonwood Cove Resort & Marina have been a nice alternative. The admin/check in staff are super friendly, the campsites are basic dirt and pretty close together but having full hookups is awesome especially since the hotel rooms fill up so fast and are always booked. When our family has gotten rooms though, they are really nice - the one up at the top of the hill (the mobile home) is my favorite! The restaurant and bar are super fun as well and the store has all the basic needs and then some. The beach is a great place to relax when your boat breaks down and need something else to do! The only down side is that trying to get a slip is pretty impossible. They are first come first serve but no matter what day you get there at opening they are always all taken, but thankfully they aren't too crazy about the courtesy docks being used when folks need a little break or extra time.

I've been to this lake beach twice now. Its easy to get to & the parking lot is close to the beach. The last time I went with my friend we got a spot close to the car & set up. I haven't actually been over to the marina or resort where you can stay. We've just set up for a lake day. Trash can is near by along with restrooms. The only issue I have with this place is there is something in the water that caused us to have a rash, all these red spots all over us. My friend got really itchy from them but I didn't. They lasted several days on my legs. We think it may have been swimmers itch, "caused by a reaction to tiny parasites in the water that burrow into your skin while you're swimming or wading in the water. They can't survive in people, so they die soon"....gross!! Definition taken from Mayo Clinic.

I was very skeptical about my upcoming stay here due to some old past reviews. My wife and I shared a 2 bedroom mobile home called "The Cove" with another couple that we travel a lot with. We met up with a few other couples that used the RV park. This was a great stay. Mobile Home was old but everything was in working order. There where plenty of linens and towels. Everything was clean. AC worked good. Kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, dinnerware and pots and pans for cooking.. everyone in my group was extremely pleased and we will be returning again. Thank you Mark for the great customer service..

Wanting to do something different we decided to drive to Cottonwood Cove and check out what it had to offer. The entire property needs some TLC! We walked into the store to rent a couple of paddle boards and Mark told us that they do not have any. He was very nice and he offered us a good deal on two hours rental for a 25' Sunchaser- over $250!! We went for it, we already drove here. We ordered some lunch from the cafe and Michelle was very efficient with getting our delicious BLT ready to go! We went to the other office to get the boat we rented but the office was locked and nobody was there. After 2 trips to see Mark and ask to please send someone to help us another gentleman finally showed up, opened up the office and gave us more information about our rental. I am sorry I forgot his name, he was very nice and helpful. I also noticed 2 beautiful clean paddle boards right there in the office: I asked if they were available and he confirmed they were. I was upset, we already paid for the boat and decided not to make a big deal about it. We got into the boat, went out in the lake and had a fabulous time! We came back two hours later and returned the boat at the fueling station, we had to wait 15/20 minutes because the attendant had to help someone. And we learned that we actually had to pay extra for the fuel. We had a very pleasant day for sure. Everyone was nice and helpful. I just wish Mark would have been honest about having paddle boards and about extra charge for fuel. We went in with the intention to spend around $100 for paddle boards and lunch and we spent over $300.

We stayed in the RV park and we had a great time! Bathroom was good but the people were really nice! Definitely will return! Fun place to come with children and your family to kayak, swim or simply hang out on the sand for a picnic.

Nice staff! Great launch ramp! Has all the essentials in the store. Limited hours RV park is in need of updating and maintenance- jungle to get to restrooms

We rented a houseboat for the weekend, the pictures are deceiving and so are the prices. First off the pictures of the inside of the boat show to be nice and clean, I understand the boats are fairly old, but the couches are completely destroyed and warned off. Spiders and bugs everywhere, (I'm talking about in the stained bed sheets, pillows and all over the walls) I understand it's outdoors but why don't they spray something for the bugs? One of the main reasons we rented a houseboat was to have the AC and it was not working well, sweating all night! and neither was the fridge ( a lot of our food went bad) The grill was missing parts so we had to wait for them to bring us what was missing to be able to start grilling. At last just know they will charge you a lot for fuel We used less than a full tank of fuel on the boat and was charged $700 so just add that to your total. The workers where very nice and helpful, but for the price of everything it should or at LEAST been in better working/ cleaning conditions.

Motel was beyond disgusting. Cockroaches, spiders and all sorts of bugs inside the room. Looked like the place hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Air conditioner did not work. Asked for assistance and did not receive any until I had to ask again the following day. Horrible experience! I would not recommend anybody stay here.

Just got back from a week long houseboat rental at Cottonwood Cove and we had a fabulous time! (We typically go to Lake Powell so there is definitely some differences between the 2 places.) It was a lot hotter here so no one from our party was able to sleep out on top of the house boat like we normally do at Powell. We also had the air conditioner going almost the whole trip. Although we didn't go very far up river, we had a pretty hefty gas bill which was from the generator running nonstop the whole trip to power the AC. On previous houseboat trips we've only run the generator in the evenings when needed so this was a little different. The house boat we rented was pretty dated and well used but everything was functional and clean. Another noticeable difference was that the Marina is full service! If you are camped within a reasonable distance to the Marina, they will deliver supplies or people in your party if needed. We had somebody joining our party midweek and they brought them out on the boat which was awesome. Water was absolutely crystal clear and perfect temperature. A little harder to find some nice beaches at least within a few miles of the Marina but we were able to do so. Another notable fact was that we hardly saw anyone on the lake compared to Lake Powell. Saturday there were a few more people but during the week there were days where we may be only saw 2 or 3 boats on the lake. It was awesome! Lastly, everyone at the Marina staff was absolutely fabulous. Huge shout out to Rex and Doug. Doug is the one who took our houseboat in-and-out of the Marina. He totally loves his job and is incredibly knowledgeable and Just an all around nice guy. Doug came out and fixed our props and also brought out somebody from our party who was joining us midweek. Both guys went above and beyond and they deserve a raise! Sunsets were gorgeous as well. We would definitely get a house boat here again but thinking maybe a little later in the season when it's not quite so hot so we can hopefully sleep up top and not run the air conditioner as much. Also, if you've never done a houseboat but before, 2 toilets are a MUST! You'll thank me :)

Stayed 4 days in rv park in July and stayed 3 nights in motel in September. Simple basic room, clean and designed for easy cleaning with no carpet. You are there for the lake. Fuel island fair priced, store well stocked but don't expect sale prices. Staff extra friendly and hard working, like everywhere else they could probably use more help. I will verify that the owner and his general manager truly cared about my experience and I will return.

They nickel and dine you to death. The restaurant is only open on the weekend. You pay the same rates as the weekend and no microwaves in your rooms. $160.00 a night and you get only a half of cup of coffee. Skip staying here.

Mothers Day Wknd 2021. This was our first time staying at the rv park. Since we were towing a boat, we reserved site 8, a front row pull through. Upon arrival, i was shocked at how close the sites were. From our door to the side of the next rv was around 8 feet. The other issue was that the sites were sloped forward. To have the hookups on the correct side and to be level, I had to unhook my trailer and park it in front of my rv. Otherwise the trailer would be in the road behind us. Other people chose to pull through the opposite way, but then that stole the pad and table from the other site. Another issue was the vented manhole cover directly out our window...stinky! Overall the rv sites were old and not very pleasant. On a positive note, the staff was great, the store and gift shop was clean and well stocked. The beach and marina were amazing! Nice to be able to keep boat in a slip for $25 a night. The water is very clear and the views are amazing. Boat launch is huge and had very little traffic. No wait to launch! Gas pumps on land and on water. $1 more per gallon on water, so fill up before you launch..

My family have been coming here for 15 years every Memorial Day weekend. We used to camp but now we stay at the hotel. It is such an amazing place. So relaxing, refreshing and gives you great quality family time. I love it here. Thank you to Tracy who always helps us with whatever We need!! Thank you everyone at cotton wood cove. See you next year! Here's a photo of the sunrise.

Cottonwood Cove is more than a resort for campers and boaters. Cottonwood Cove is an escape from the neon jungle where people can spend time alongside a picturesque body of water relaxing and hiking. Cottonwood Cove is a Lake Mead National Recreation Area (abbreviated LMNRA) attraction where Lake Mohave overlaps the Colorado River between the Hoover Dam and Bullhead City-Laughlin. It is not far south of the point where the same water flowing out of the Grand Canyon widens from Black Canyon to Lake Mohave proper. By car, Cottonwood Cove is 72 miles from the Fremont Street Experience and 14 miles from Searchlight. It is one of two resorts along the shores of Lake Mohave (Katherine Landing is the second). On February 1, which was Super Bowl Sunday, the objective of my game was scoring a touchdown against stress. My playing field was Cottonwood Cove. When you explore Cottonwood Cove, the drive from Searchlight is part of the experience. This is a drive through the real West. The drive east on Cottonwood Cove Road is a gradual descent in elevation toward Lake Mohave. The terrain changes from creosote desert to a rare teddy bear Chola cactus forest beyond the fee station (closed when I passed through) at mile marker 8. A couple of miles east, the scenery returns to creosote desert as the road becomes windy when it makes its descent toward a Lake Mohave that becomes nearer and larger. Eventually the road concludes at a large parking lot. The parking lot connects to the majority of the services that Cottonwood Cove provides. This includes the docks, boat ramp, fuel, Cafe, general store, picnic tables, and beachside motel. In similar style to adventures at Willow Beach and Hemenway Harbor, I started it off walking on the dock of the bay. My eyes took in boats, water, ducks, seagulls, and vistas of the shoreline bluffs. This is the boat culture of the Mohave Desert. Unfortunately it is a culture closed off to the general public. Halfway along the dock, a gate prohibits the general public from progressing any further. So, in similar style to past adventures at Willow Beach and Hemenway Harbor, I headed down to the general Store or a cafe to enjoy a cold one. The deal was that the cafe is closed during January and February leaving me to pick up a can of Budweiser from the general store. Some of my most enjoyable beers while living in Las Vegas have been along the shores of the LMNRA. It is very thereauputic sitting in sunshine while sipping a beer along the shore. I glanced at the body of water reaching out toward the mountains in Arizona while a couple of lively birds chirped nearby. Both me and the birds momentarily did not have a care in the world. South of the beachfront motel are relatively short hiking trails. The moderate trail climbs up the shoreline bluff to rewarding vistas of Lake Mohave and the resort. The easy trail leads to an undisturbed beach where the gentle water of Lake Mohave washes toward your feet. Standing here in solitude on my escape from the neon jungle, I scored the touchdown and conquered a victory against stress.

They did not clean the room.Rude service. And dirty water. After sleeping I would get bug bites and it would start to itch. I don't recommend this hotel or place.

From the moment we got there , the staff is super friendly. (Marina section ) everyone is so helpful and courteousness. Clean boats every time we rent from there. Water is nice and clean. Rex and staff are all so awesome! Definitely makes us want to go back often!! No more Willow for us!

The rv is not the greatest by any means. I told my Buddy, this place is a shit hole. He said "a couple of beers and a day on other lake and this place is paradise". He was right! But, The grounds are not kept up very well. I had to move a pile of palm tree trimmings so I could back in. The spots are very narrow and not as long as advertised. I was in spot number 53 I think it was advertised as a 35' spot and my 22' trailer barely fit. All in all it was a great weekend. The power and water worked. The public restrooms and showers were very clean. The ladies at check in and the store were amazing. Do yourself a favor and rent a slip for $25 a night. It's so nice not to have to deal with launching and loading every day. Now that I know a little I would only stay in the front row. They say 50' but it's more like 25-30' of useable space.

I will never stay in the motel ever again. Just filthy inside. I was going to book a family gathering here not anymore yuck. Ill rather stay in the rv park area. Disappointed

Very disappointing. The room was clean but the exterior and grounds we're very unacceptable. Dirty and unkept.

We rented a 19' open bow boat . We had an amazing time and the staff was excellent. Note that in addition to gas fees there wAs an oil fee as well. We went all the wy past willow beach and back In exactly 4 hours costing an additional $130 for gas and oil ( keep that in mind when budgeting your trip ). Boats are a bit beaten up but you do t have to worry about wear and tear either. Bring your auxiliary cable for your iPod for your personal music listening experience!

We enjoyed visiting in January 2018. Beautiful desert landscape and was a very full peaceful drive from Bullhead City, AZ. A cafe and hookups.

This place used to be a jewel. We have been coming here for at least the last six years. Up until this year, I would recommend this destination to friends or others interested in water activities and boating. Now, I wouldn't even recommend it to a foe. We were here in June and again in July. From June to July it has gone downhill fast. Supposedly the resort contract was up and it no longer belongs to Forever Resorts but that logo is still on every aspect of this place. In years gone by, the sidewalks were kept clean as were the patios. This year, I've never seen anyone sweep anything. The lights out on the patios are COVERED with about 3 inch think cobwebs. The furniture and rooms are VERY dated but since we don't send much time in the room , we didn't care too much. BUT, when we find a 2 inch brown cockroach in our room, a gecko in my sister's room, a mouse in the room on the other side of us, we have to wonder what is going on with the upkeep here. The beach out front is amazing. The water is clear and beautiful...usually. The staff here used to keep watch over things and enforce the rules. Not anymore! There were kids jumping off the docks, unregistered folks on the beach and E-Z ups on the beach. The problem with these things is that these same folks use up the parking spaces intended for guests, leave their trash in the parking lot (feel free to walk it to the dumpster people) and even dump their hot coals in the parking lot which needs to be overhauled and resurfaced. By allowing all of this to occur, we know the behavior spirals and things get out of hand eventually. Not in a hurry to come back which is sad because this used to be my favorite destination.

Stayed here for the weekend. Me and my family loved it! Everything was clean, beds were made, no dust around furniture. Very well cleaned! My baby niece had dropped rice on the floor that the only thing was on the napkin was the rice. No type of dirt or stains. I give it 4 stars because they should have a microwave and at least an extra bed in there. Our overall experience was great'! I will definitely come back

My husband used to come here with his family years ago and absolutely loved it! He booked a 2 night stay for the 2 of us ($150 per night) and we headed down with the kayak on our van roof. We arrived around 7:30 pm. The staff ALL checks out around 5:00. No problem! There was an envelope with our name on it taped to a bulletin board with our room key inside. A little strange but whatever. We go to our room and this is some of what we find (see pics). The room hadn't been cleaned, the beds stripped, dirty towel and washcloth on floor, dirty mirror, hair on the floors, etc. Sigh. And not one staff member to be found. We tried calling the reservation number; got the voicemail, left a detailed message. The rooms have an information binder that lists an after hours phone number labeled "security". We try the number a few times, and each time we get a message "the voicemail has not been set up" SERIOUSLY!?!? We decided to leave and head back home and will demand a full refund. Such a disappointment. I spoke with the guests in the room next to ours and they had tried renting a 2 room trailer but had to be moved to the motel because the trailer was so dirty! What the heck is going on here??! How is this place even in business!?!

Cottonwood cove resort and marina is a beautiful lake enthusiast location. It has everything you need for a day trip or vacation. My disappointment is in the lack of maintenance of the lodge grounds. We were there for two nights and the no one ever emptied the trash bins outside the lodge and they were over flowing. The patios were dirty and could be washed down. No daily housekeeping service. No one cleaned up the sidewalks outside the front doors after the storm. This could be a beautiful place with a little effort.

I cannot explain how disgusted I am with with Cottonwood Cove Nevada. I have been coming here for years and this past weekend August 5th 2022 was the worst experience and the most ghetto dirty experience I have ever experienced I have ever had!!! The amount of trash, I picked up on the beach was disgusting and we paid 41 dollars for full hook to which multiple times we lost electral hookup, our campsite was dirty the land was washed out knowing we were coming the poor guy trying to help is was great as far as the manager he was rude and unhelpful!!!!!!!! I am an avid camper and I will never give a chance again I am disgusted with our National Park Service to charge 25.00 to enter the what an area that looks like a trash dump. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE LET DOWN AND RUINED OUR VACATION! OUR GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED AND SO SHOULD AND SO SHOULD COTTONWOOD COVE FOR LYING!!!!!!! I WILL MAKE SURE TO MY FELLOW CAMPERS NOT TO BOTHER WASTING THEIR GAS OR TIME OT MONEY TO VISIT ABSOLUTELY THE WORST TRIP OF MY CAMPIMG LIFE. THEY SHOULD ASHAMED!!!!!!

We spent a few nights camping at Cottonwood Cove, and had a lot of questions. The camp host, Rich, was great. we will return. It was a great place to relax, and de-stress.

As far as the Colorado River goes it doesn't get much better than Cottonwood Cove. The water is clean and warm, the vistas are stunning and the secluded location keeps the crowds pretty small. The people tend to be less insane than the Lake Havasu crowd and more family friendly. Not to say some serious partying doesn't take place, it's just easier to do your own thing out here.

I had really had low expectations of this place (it is between Las Vegas and Laughlin) but I had a surprisingly great time. If is very family friendly and there weren't tons of annoying drunken college kids yelling "Woo!" good times

Two words: Food poisoning! Never going back! And after talking to other people, we weren't the first to get it at their cafe! Ruined our trip!

Our family has been boating for 40 years. We have been on at least 15 houseboats and have never had so many issues: 1. Engines constantly stalled and restarting was laborious. - Very dangerous when landing or exiting bch during windy conditions. 2. No exit plank, no swim step, only ladders - we had our mom 70 yrs who really struggled to get on and off boat. - one positive an employee kindly loaned us a plank from his family's HB. 3. The doors locked and our kids could not open them this was both good and bad... We just wished we could have unlocked them during the day while beached. 4. NO cell service (ATT,Sprint, Verizon) - Mile marker 34 5. The tv was an old 23" computer monitor. - it never worked. 6. DVD Player was broken 7. The A/C Generator was on the top deck - this was so loud no one wanted to be up there riding, sleeping, ect. 8. No gas allowed - we were very lucky to have a ski boat which was able to carry extra sea doo gas. 9. No 100 gallon gas tank (sometimes provided, w a gas hose) 10. Horn was a joke (safety) 11. No rake, shovel, tools of any sort - during a wind storm our steak driver came apart. We had to use rocks, very lg heavy rocks. 12. Instrument gauges for engine trim did not work, we would have someone run bk to confirm trim position. 13. 1 of the Bathroom light's was out. 14. Vacuum did not work 15. Flies were brutal, 1 fly swatter provided recommend bringing addition fly combat methods. An oscillating fan would be a big help. 16. NO 2 Stroke engines. We were never informed of this change. We ended up ignoring and chancing large fines. 17. There are more "NO's" here than expected (see some pics I posted). POSITIVES: 1. Outside staff, all the dock guys especially David. 2. Prompt and readily avail staff to pick us up and bring us into marina. 3. Generator, Ac worked flawlessly.

AWESOME!!! We Rented A Houseboat From Forever Resorts And Launched From Cottonwood Cove. We Claimed A Cove And Enjoyed, Swimming, BBQ-ing, Water-Skiing, Partying...ETC... This Was A Great Place To Be Lazy And Have Fun At The Same Time!!! One Day You're In California, The Next Nevada, Then The Next Day Arizona In A Matter Of Minutes... Then Take A Trip To Laughlin And Gamble And have Fun. What Was Great Is That There Were Some Dead Spots Where We Had Parked The Houseboat And This Was Great!!! No Office Calls What So Ever!!! I Highly Recommend Renting A Houseboat With A Few Of Your Friends And Enjoying The Weekend!!!

YAY, Ron works at Cottonwood Cove. The lake is a safer place with him there. He needs to run his own S and R team for the lake.

This place had horrible customer service. The lake and scenery are gorgeous but the people there don't seem to care whether you're interested in staying or not. They certainly are not interested in selling their product.

Our huge family just departed Cottonwood Cove and each member stated it was an epic trip. The houseboat was so much fun. It had every amenity one could think of. The lake was beautiful and the staff was terrific. I especially want to thank Ron who gave us outstanding service. He was respectful, considerate and saw to our every need. If we needed help with anything, he was there. Thank you Ron!! The one bummer, prior boating people who used the beaches are not respectful of picking up their trash or after their dogs, thus leaving the beaches littered. So not cool. Anyway, it was a great, relaxing trip and we are very happy we came here. Again, a special thanks to Ron who really runs the whole show. Great job! Great trip! P.S. The cafe's milkshakes are the best!!!!

Dirty Restaurant. Poor refrigeration - felt sick for 2 days after eating breakfast Our first clue should have been that every table except one had dirty dishes on it that hadn't been cleaned. Never never never eat there!

Cottonwood Cove and Marina felt very safe and was very clean. We had a blast playing on the water and really enjoyed ourselves. All the staff was welcoming and helpful, David, Mike, Rick and Jeff all deserve a special thank you. They were all so courteous and made our houseboat stay excellent. I highly recommend this area for fun filled times with great teamwork from the staff.

This place sucks big time serious maintenance issues on the boats and customer service is awful won't go back again!!

No employees to help you at fuel dock. Debit card only gives you $35 in gas, credit card $75. We wanted to pay in cash. Snack bar closed Tuesday thru Thursday. Have been coming here for 43 years and this place has really gone downhill. Used to be packed with people, not anymore.

This is a little Gem In Searchlight Nevada that is truly one of my most favorite places to hang out..!! It's not crowded and it's kept clean. The scenery is majestic

Beautiful marina and Mark the manager is awesome!!!! We rented a houseboat and everything was awesome. The lake is clean and it has nice secluded coves. We will def be returning here!!!! Great family and friend lake and marina!!!

Don't ever rent a houseboat from Forever Resorts unless you are willing to pay double the price you are promised. This company is a rip off. We were pushed to the cliff by the strong wind and since we were advised not to start the engine if that happens, we called them for help. even though THEY were late to help us to get out and it was absolutely not our fault, we got insanely charged for late fee and other unnecessary extra charges, such as calling them and getting help. They have you sign a contract so that you can not complain at the end. Extremely unfair, rude customer service. Even though this is our favorite type of vacation, we never went back to them. Stay away or be prepared for unfair costs

We rented a houseboat for the 4 days. A 59' that sleeps 10. We show up, they start giving me the tour and come to find out it only sleeps 8? (Strike one) but we proceed. Then they inform us that reverse only works on 1 motor, but it's no problem? (Strike 2). Again, we proceed as their are 10 of who just drove 5 hours for the weekend. The fridges don't work, the bar fridge is worthless, about 75% of the outlets don't work. Then at about 2:30(when the wind is at its peak) they take us out of the marina and onto the lake. They get us to open water, and literally jump off the boat and send you on your way? I've never driven a houseboat. I have a 21' wakeboard boat that I brought to use with the family, but it's a little different than the 59' boat I am now trying to steer in the mist of the wind. I asked several times if we could just pay to have someone beach it for us so we didn't mess it up, they said they didn't offer that service. Anyways, we got stuck; motors overheated and shut down. Just a mess. The staff is rude, and lazy. Doug was cool, but they just have no sense of urgency when it comes to anything. The boat shut down on the way back. The guy couldn't even drive it back to the marina because it was constantly shutting off. Forever houseboats either doesn't care, or they don't know what their employees are doing to their business. (Strike 3-56). On the way out the mechanic said "man you should've just asked us to do this for you guys; would've made your trip a lot easier) which is what I figured, they were just too lazy to beach the boat themselves.

went down for labor day weekend. rv park extremely small spaces, roads in park a little small for the rigs parked there, no enforcement of any park rule sewer hoses all over ground too many cars, dogs and people per sites, tents at sites blocking already narrow road, rv park rates a strong 2 maybe weak 3 but staff rate solid 5 or better everyone was nice friendly and courteous thank you Walter and Tracy and im sorry to all the other wonderful people whos names I neglected to get.

We go here every year for several days and rent a houseboat. The cafe has limited options but does a decent job. Love the popsicles at the general store on a hot day. They don't open until 8am after labor day so plan accordingly. You also can't gas up the boat until after 8am because they lock up the pumps.

Cottonwood Cove is probably the best place to launch your boat. There aren't a lot boats and it seems to be fairly low key compared to Davis and Katherine's. Beware! I have seen the Rangers checking for OUIs (DUI) when pulling your boat out of the water during the summer. What's not to like about this place it's where Senator Harry Reid is from haha.
