Beautiful setting over looking the lake . We enjoyed walking our dogs down the lane and birding on the deck. Steve saw an eagle. Nice little town for quick errands nearby.

Extended Weekend Getaway

We were visiting for a performance at the Murphy Theater. The location was so very relaxing and in such a serene and beautiful area. The drive back the lane to get to the cabin was a gravel road. Check in was simple and seamless. There were two other cabins in the vicinity of ours, but you had the total illusion of being out there by yourself. The position of our cabin compared to the others was staggered, so while on the back deck, you can barely see part of the deck on the cabin next door. The cabin was stocked with everything you would need: dishes, pots pans, flatware, a crockpot, dish soap, hand towels, paper, towel, towels, and a dishwashrer. There was laundry soap, fabric softener sheets, towels, wash cloths, extra blankets, pillows, even split wood and lighters for the fire pit, as well as batteries for the flameless candles. There was a path that lead down to Cowan Lake from the cabin. Tom and Susan were extremely responsive to any questions that I had. I loved it! We even extended our stay by two days, and they were extremely accommodating. We will definitely return!

Family vacation

We had a great time! The cabin is cute and stocked with all we needed. Our favorite is the back porch as well as all the fireflies at night. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Quiet, cozy getaway

We were attending a horse show at WEC but loved getting away to the peace and quiet of the cottage, grilling at night, and walking the dogs. We would definitely stay again! Thank you!!

Our second visit was just as cozy as the first

This is our second year in a row of renting the Cozy Cottage. It’s a wonderful location to get away from it all while still close to plenty of Cowan Lake trails and Caesar’s Creek activities for the kids. We loved being to bring our dog and find all the amenities to feel like we were glamping. :)

Fantastic Dog friendly place!

We were so impressed by how nice this place is. It is comfortable, well maintained and beautiful. The scenery is great and the fireflies put on a great show every night. We had a great time staying there while attending a dog show at the Robert's Center. The location was very convenient.

Peaceful sanctuary!

I loved my stay at this cottage! The peaceful, quiet setting was a welcomed respite from the daily chaos of a dog show at the Roberts Centre in Wilmington. The drive was very easy and sometimes I went back & forth several times daily. The cottage was larger than I expected, and very comfortable. I greatly appreciated that the owners permitted my two dogs. I hope future renters with pets continue to respect this property so the owner will continue to allow dogs. Thank you!!

EXACTLY what I needed

Stayed at the cabin for 6 nights while in town for work. Thank goodness all of the hotels were full because I never would’ve found this gem. I needed peace and quiet to rest and study and that’s exactly what this cabin provided. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything I needed (including an electric kettle!) Communication with Tom was super fast and helpful. Couldn’t ask for more!
