    Let me know on the shuttles. We hired a bus last year that took us there and back, was $30 a person. $4 sounds much better!

    I stayed here in 2003, FIRST PJ SHOW! Man that was a good show.

    Anyways, this place if awesome. nice pool, the rooms that have a suite are well-designed for in room festivities (kitchen for food & beer). It is also close to both the venue the lake. I'm planning on staying here again this year.

    We have 4 of us staying @The Cove. Glad to hear good things, took a gamble on this place. Please do post what you find out about the shuttle. All I could find was Y Drive Limo - They have a bus package that will set you back $42/ea. Per day. Better than driving but that's a lot of beer money...

    Earlier tonight I cancelled my reservations for Bella Vista Suites and booked 3 nights at The Cove for about the same price, but I came across this coupon:

    http://www.oakleesguide.com/The-Cove-of ... tingID=410

    They charged me full cost for the room, but when I check in and show the coupon, they will refund 20% !!!

    Sounds like we will have a good group there, looking forward to it.

    Me and my wife are renting a car and might have room for 2 others if anyone wants to carpool. Let me know and we'll talk when it gets closer.

    I'll throw in on it paper tiger. Getting a carpool of some sort would be great. Or even better a party bus :D
