The Cowboy cottage

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: King Bed | Living Room: couch and blow up mattress

*oct 15- Jan 29 is waterfowl hunting season so you may hear gunshots in the distance but nothing to be alarmed by. We also ask that people do not grab, hug or cuddle our dogs and keep
Children from doing the same. After your daily adventures, you’ll be happy to return to this charming home with comfortable furnishings throughout. Curl up on the large L-shaped couch in the western-themed living area and watch old western cowboy movies with your loved ones. In the spacious, fully equipped kitchen, cook up a hearty meal for the whole group to enjoy at the dining table set for 4 in the kitchen. On sunny days, enjoy your feast out in the backyard, where you can gather around the picnic table and breathe in the fresh air. Sleep is sure to come easy in one of the bedroom’s queen or king beds. One or two other guests can rest their heads on the couch or blow up mattress

Great rustic getaway

We enjoyed an extended stay at Cowboy Cabin. It was great being out in a rural area, and we especially enjoyed watching hawks, swans, and other birds in the marsh across the street. The on-site staff were wonderfully friendly and helpful. Just know that this is an older building with dents and bruises, and the heating system could use a little attention. I'll bet kids would enjoy the cowboy decor and plenty of room to play in the large living room.
