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!!

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.

Excellent Location

For a writer looking to getaway and get some work done, I couldn't have asked for a more quiet, peaceful, and serene location. The proximity to the lake was ideal and the cottage itself was beyond comfortable. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

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. :)

Perfect accommodations & awesome host!

Attending a local dog show out in Wilmington, this cottage was the perfect home for us - it had everything we needed inside with a very well stocked kitchen ((thx for the Keurig supplies!)), lots of space to relax indoors and out, and super close to the beach and park to run our dog. The bed was very comfortable for sleeping, the large seating at the table was great for cards/games and the large sectional was great for movie watching. The natural lighting & decor was very weIcoming & the woods added to the ambiance. I would definitely stay here again the next time I’m in the area!

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!
