Fantastic Stay

We had the best time at Cracker Cow Cottage! The amenities were perfect for our stay and the bed was wonderful. We were able to walk downtown and it was centrally located from anywhere we had to drive to. Thanks, Cracker Cow! Hope to stay here again.

Made the chilly week fantastic

Stayed a week during a little cold spell. We got to enjoy relaxing by a fireplace. Read a couple of quick read books about this area. Enjoyed the exquisite decorated details. All our needs with supplies were met. Easy walk to downtown.

Cute and Cozy

This place did not disappoint. It was absolutely perfect for my husband and I to enjoy while in town for a wedding. We had everything we needed including both an iron and a garment steamer. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the couch was too and the blankets provided allowed for snuggling up and watching the tv more comfortably. I would absolutely stay here again for many reasons, including how helpful the host Michelle was!

Cracker Cow Cottage A at Ft. Myers

My wife and I booked our Cracker Cow Cottage in Ft. Myers, FL, for a 3 day, 2 night getaway vacation. We were interested in seeing the changes in the area after Hurricane Ian a year or two ago. We were very pleased with our cottage. It had everything we needed and so much more. The host really knows how to take care of every need a guest might have. We enjoyed our visit to Ft. Myers Beach where we observed things had been cleaned up extensively and demo and restoration work was being done on some of the buildings and even high rise hotels. Very interesting. (We had been to the area some 34 years ago in 1990 when our children were small on a vacation from our then Missouri home.) We walked beach at sunset on Thursday evening and it was beautiful. We also had a great meal on Friday for lunch with friends from Naples at Nervous Nellies. So delicious. We anticipated going to the Edison Museum, but we enjoyed the comforts of our cottage so much, that we decided to hang out at Cracker Cow Cottage A instead. This is a beautiful vacation rental and we highly recommend it to all. We did walk to historic downtown Ft. Myers and a fascinating and huge street festival was going on that we did not even know about. So many interesting booths and artists and street performers. It was very entertaining. We are now back at home in Tampa, a 2 hour drive from Ft. Myers, with many pleasant memories of our relaxing stay at Cracker Cow Cottages.
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024
