Cosy stay in the woods

We couldnt have picked a better time. Secadas everywhere made you really feel you were having a nature escape. With the lake close by and lots to do you will never want to leave. Dont be afraid of nature. Remember its there home and you are the visitor.

Perfect cozy cabin

The pictures don't do this cozy cabin justice. Perfect for my husband and I to get away for the weekend. Everything was clean and it was very well stocked. Plenty of blankets for a chilly weekend. High recommend. Owners were easy to communicate with mad very helpful when needed.

Nice, clean place for family and kids

We arrived late and were happy to be met with clean sheets on the beds and clean overall. Cleanliness is most important to my wife and she had no complaints, which is rare in that regard. It has a nice, open, large room with a couch and TV for the boys. We enjoyed our stay. The owner is super accessible. I would definitely use it again.

Wonderful

An absolutely wonderful place to stay! My father and I booked this cozy cabin to watch the solar eclipse. Tom and Susan were informative, clear in giving directions, and took communication to the next level. The cabin was so cozy it felt like home. The beds were firm and comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, the porch allowed us to relax at the end of the days, and the lake near by provided lots of entertainment. Everything was cutely decorated and gave the place some uniqueness. The area was quiet and the wildlife was neat. I’ve never seen a red headed woodpecker before this trip. It was definitely a trip to remember. Thank you for letting us rent this little piece of peace!

Cowan Cozy Cottages

The cottage was very quaint and definitely cozy. Far enough off of the road to not be bothered by traffic. Not that there was a lot of traffic. It was very peaceful, and the cottage was very clean and well maintained. We will stay here again
