We had such a wonderful stay in Port Franks! The house was super spacious, spotless, and a perfect fit for our family. The hosts were very communicative and thoughtful—we loved the little welcome tray of snacks. The location is fantastic, just a quick five-minute drive to the private This place has it all, including a private hot tub, fire pit, barbecue, and even a fitness room. We really appreciated being able to use the washer and dryer with two little ones in tow. The rooms were roomy and comfortable, with cozy robes waiting for us in each bedroom.Overall, a great property in a great spot—we ’d happily stay again!

Enjoyable getaway at the “cozy cottage”
My husband and I had a wonderful time at Jim and Katie’s Cozy Cottage.
We hiked, biked, beached and golfed.
The cottage was very clean and well organized for us. The beds were super comfy too!
Our hosts made our stay very enjoyable. We would definitely return to the cozy cottage and Port Franks.

Enjoyed
Had come for a wedding. Wish we could have stayed long. Myself, son and daughter-in-law were very comfortable with accommodations plus gym, hottub and sauna.
From the thoughtful inclusion of a mini bottle of bubbly and snacks, to the little treats for the drive home, the hosts went above and beyond our expectations. The cottage was very clean and tidy and the kitchen had all the appliances and tools that one would need to prepare meals.
The traditional picnic basket was a very nice touch although we didn't use it. The location is perfect for exploring all that this region has to offer and the property is very close to a spectacular private beach.
Would't hesitate to visit again. Thanks Katie and Jim.
